Republican policies are far better in the long run for the black community, he argues. Getting that message to black voters, though, has been nettlesome, at best.
"We're good on policy," Fobbs says, "but not good about communicating the policies' benefits.
"Do we get it? Yeah, if we hear or know about it."

Fobbs says if the GOP is to connect with black voters and recruit more of them to support Republican candidates, then the party definitely cannot abandon its core principles -- because those principles are also important to black parents, homeowners and taxpayers.

You all might want to get in here. The Republican party has to un-demonize itself and reach out. The core values are the same - and not DESTRUCTIVE like the Democratic values. Sheesh, what will it take?

And Willie, our borders must be secured and your anti-Nafta articles are good reading, although the argument that Americans WILL shop for cheaper prices over American-made goods has me stumped.

Thank-you.

I strongly disagree. I believe that the blacks must un-demonize themselves.

Look at what President Bush has done - Powell, Rice, the Sec. of Education, etc., etc.. What will he get for it in 2004? Maybe 10% of the black vote.

Look at the Republican candidate for governor here in Maryland, Bob Ehrlich. He picks a black as his Lt. Gov.. Who does the liberal darling of the blacks pick? A white Republican. What will Ehrlich get for it? Maybe 10% of the black vote.

I really don't know what more Republicans can do. Or should do. If the blacks want to stay on the DemocRAT plantation, let them. Maybe someday, they'll get the message.
