Did you not read what I wrote when I said modern era...you have names of people who served over 150 years ago
It's sad you have to dig that far back to try to answer my simple question.

How many black US Senators or Congressmen does your party have at this time? When Obama was running your party fielded Alan Keyes to run against him

I will not say that in the past that the republican party hasn't done good things for this country but the party is not the same as it was even 30 years ago. What would someone like Reagan (a real conservative) think of the party today?

Let's see
McCain said if he had it to do over he would still oppose Bush's tax cuts because he had a tax cut plan he liked better.
McCain was one of the earliest critics of the war stratigy and is partially responsible for the implementation of what is now called the surge.
McCain has been a critic of runaway government spending for years including that of the last 8 years.
McCain want to take steps to mandate the reduction of greenhouse gases
Yep, just like Bush. If thats the best you dems can come up with McCain will win in a landslide

So the Democrats have one more black senator than the Republicans, so what?

Yes, and he just beat the Clinton Political machine to become the Democratic nominee...I can't recall the Republicans ever beating the Clinton machine. That seems like a solid accomplishment or was that dumb luck

you have a good point. I agree, I can't stand McCain. The dems wanted him. Almost got him to change parties. He imo is just about as bad a john kerry politically.

One good accomplishment. Rush said that same thing. Which is funny.
Now I know agreeing isn't fun, but him beating the clinton machine is pretty impressive.
As for Dems helping blacks, all I've got to say is New Orleans pre-katrina, or Michigan...

NOW he has his own tax plan...
The man who vowed to stay in the Iraq War for 100 years if it takes that long...
The man who invented pork barrel spending...
The man who is deciding to jump onto the Gore bandwagon after realizing the American public want something done about global warming....
Sounds like a typical Republican flip-flopper to me.

Meeting, unconditionally, with our enemies of course is a bad thing. Look at Chamberlain's productive meeting with Hitler, Roosevelt's and Truman's meetings with Stalin, etc.
Sorry. The rest of the world doesn't despise us. Don't by that hype.
Please show me where he debunked working with the Weather Underground founder..... Considering it is public knowledge that will be an entertaining tidbit.
Privatization is better than socialization. Baby boomers like my parents simply need to plan and budget health care into their retirements. To expect the Government to provide a public service like Health Care is absurd.
A
Obama's plans for the military are on his webpage. Feel free to read up for it yourself. If you think cutting the budget for R&D will strengthen the military I highly suggest you study warfare and the history of our military.
Out of curiousity, why do you even care who wins? Reading your 'Bagdhad Blog', you have some aspiration to move to Australia and become a preacher. Shouldn't matter to you what happens in the ole' U.S. of A. You'll be too busy eating Vegamite and becoming shark food.

The man who invented pork barrel spending? What left wing blogger is trying to sell that. Might want to do a lot of research before repeating that line. Might also want to review his actual statement about Iraq and 100 years and his position on global warming while you are at it.

Just riddle me this, from above stated info, blacks have all the reason to vote republican (freed slaves, civil rights act, etc. etc.). So in an election where the parties have similar policies, why did 90% of African Americans vote democrat?

?

You want to go on race?
Ken Blackwell got almost none of the black vote in Ohio. They voted democrat, and we're worse off than with the RINO Taft.
From what I've read MLK was REPUBLICAN
Powell/Rice 08!

Are you making a point or sincerely asking this question? I don't know much about politics, but even I know the answer to that question. But the answer isn't nice, so I don't wanna say anything if you were being rhetorical. I may not say anything anyway. I don't think I really believe that to be a sincere question.

Yea, after he got caught, he back-peddled and said we could possibly 'occupy' Iraq for 100 years, like the 50 we've been in Korea. Give me a break. If he could keep his 'surge' (is that the new War Monger buzz word?) going for 200 years, he would.
