It''s great to see that some black folks are starting to see Obama for what he is...

Then you never really wanted much change cause your voting to keep in place all the Bush policies and programs and failures.

I''m a VET too but I''m smart enough to vote based on the man not the uniform. McCain was part of Keating 5, the group that defrauded the government and caused the Savings and Loan collapse that cost millions of Americans their life savings. McCains "straight talk" express doesn''t seem to have any tracks, it just kind of wanders around and says what ever the people want to hear on the day.

These people must be racists.

"" Black Republican Conservative" has to be almost as big as an oxymoron as military intelligence.

Considering that the leader of the NBRA is former military that is so appropriate.

---"From the black conservatives who brought you radio ads two years ago claiming that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican come the new summer blockbusters: ads calling Sen. Barack Obama a racist and an elitist"---

''Black Republicans'' seem to me to be kind of the flipside to the ''Antiwar Military'' . . . people''s knee-jerk reaction is to reject people who don''t fit into society''s neat little boxes.

That being said, I don''t think it''s objectively true that Barack is racist based on the ''evidence'' these guys put forth - I think the objective truth is that Barack has been the recipient of racism, stereotyping, close-mindedness, and resistance to change and that he''s responded like anybody of any color would to being treated in that manner.

I''d be interested to hear how more about how racism has impacted the lives of these two black conservatives to put their assessments of Barack into greater context. I''d also be interested to know where they stand on affinity groups formed based on common ground and shared interests . . .

"what have liberals REALLY done for you?

Gotten you elected to office, registered you to vote, given you a voice, listened to your concerns, acted on your behalf. Pretty much without Liberals, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, all people of color would be second class citizens.

The Republican party of today is based on the immoral philosophies of the racist Dixiecrats, who fled the Dem party in the late 60''s because the Dem party wanted to support civil rights. Strom Thurman, Jesse Helms, those are the founders of the modern Republican party. Racists and bigots and hate mongers who fled the Dem party and recreated the Republican party in their vile image.

I promise you...on any urban radio channel, this is one huge failed bit.

But dougsoul isn''t a Republican so how would she know?

dogsoul said: "Republicans believe you are capable of pulling your own weight... we don''t offer excuses... we don''t offer reparations... we don''t offer anything - except dignity, freedom, & hope for a better tomorrow."

You offer a $10 trillion national debt, a $3 trillion war, and the promise of more of the same. I would vote for the ''party of small government'' if it would, just once, actually act the part. As it is:

I''ll take a tax and spend liberal over a dont tax and spend conservative. I know which one is throwing my kids the finger, and I''ll bet most Americans know the same (finally, after 30 years).

''Republicans dont offer excuses!'' LOL!!

"Sen. Barack Obama a racist and an elitist."
Of course he is, you can see it in that "smirk" look on his face.

What I don''t see in his face is a real concern for the U.S.A.

He doesn''t welcome or promise change, he threatens it.

I was going to vote for him because I too wanted change, but now because I''m a VET, I''m going to place my faith in a VET.

"...judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character..."

frankly, that DOES sound Republican. Democrats are the ones who are so busy categorizing everyone according to their race, gender & creed. You think Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice, or Colon Powell advanced within the conservative ranks because of the color of their skin - or their gender? No, it was clearly based on their qualifications...

Wake UP Black America - liberals don''t think you''re capable of caring for yourselves... liberals only want you as their livestock so they can feed off your votes.... liberals don''t care that what they offer is perpetuated misery while they pretend to be your friend... what have liberals REALLY done for you? Republicans believe you are capable of pulling your own weight... we don''t offer excuses... we don''t offer reparations... we don''t offer anything - except dignity, freedom, & hope for a better tomorrow.

When the republcan party feels it will suffer public relations problems, they outsource their dirty work to some of the fringe elements. It is always good for the parties involved. The republican party keeps its hands clean and the fringe element gets its `5 seconds of fame/

Funny thing is when this country gets a black president, black people won''t have anything to complain about. They''ll have to take a good long look in the mirror.

" Black Republican Conservative" has to be almost as big as an oxymoron as military intelligence. I think the Republicans showed how tthey felt about Blacks when the candidates always made excuses not to show up when invited to speak at such conventions like the Urban League and NAACP. I think only Huckabee showed at one and even President Bush said that it was a shame and Republicans had an image problem with African Americans. If you look at the civil rights bills back in the 60''s it always the conservatives that didn''t want change. They still don''t yet these folks want to be called conservatives. HAH. I''ve always said that not all conservatives are racists, BUT all racists are conservatives.

NBRA = Sell out. Ditto for Log Cabin Republicans. That little voice in the back of your head is your conscious telling you that greed does not trump the truth. Let us know when you''re ready for confession.
