When Tancredo is the candidate from your party who shows the most interest in minority rights, your party has a problem. |

Let's be honest here - would the NAACP really endorse a Republican?
Why waste time if it is no doubt going to be fruitless.

Such as?
It's all about politics. Do you really think a Democrat would show up if they were invited to address the Pro-life Action League? I say no.

You don't think the NAACP has anything to do with ideologies?

My point is still valid - the Dems would not address the most prominent Pro-Life organization in the country. I would hope that it would be just as appalling to you.

I can understand why Bush didn't go, after all the insults the NAACP hurled at him.

Moreover, 90% of 2000 black voters voted for Gore. Politicians listen to people who vote for them. It's the same reason why senior citizen issues are always on the table while the 18-25 crowd gets legislative table scraps. Old folks vote and young folks don't. One can argue that it ought to be the other way around, but that's just not reality. If the blacks as a race want to attract the attention of the GOP, they'll have to do a better job in how they divvy out their loyalty. Otherwise they'll continue get the cold shoulder (and suspicious eyes) from Republicans, and nothing but lip service from the Democrats. The GOP, for it's part, can do a better job of outreach as well, but I don't consider the NAACP part of that. |

in 04 Bush was invited and he declined. I'm not excusing the other candidates for their absence, but I think Bush's rejection set a bad precedent and it's not completely the GOP's fault.

But then, the Dems would surely address the KKK if invited, wouldn't they? After all, that is an organization of white people.
