Ku Klux Klan Passing out Candy

Why is it just minorities?

But I'm also not the one using "concern" as a political weapon. If the GOP went in to the cities, did some good for the community, it might help their electoral prospects. I guess it's easier to whine though.

Conservative ideas of "doing good" means less welfare and more work. The Libbos constantly propagandize that as racism.

So you're more concerned with complaining about "the Libbos" than you are with actually getting elected so you can put better policies in place?

The Conservatives constantly propagandize welfare as "socialism." My point is that if they went in to the cities and let voters there see WHY their policies may be better, they'd have a better chance than they do standing on the sidelines complaining.

One would think that people could simply look at Detroit, then look at Midland/Odessa and see how Conservative policies work.

Detroit is a lot bigger, and what works in Texas might not work there.

At any rate, if Conservatives got in there and showed "Hey, we do care about you" that might help. Frankly, they look like they don't give a crap about inner cities and have written them off and decided it's not worth the effort. If you're not even going to ask people to vote for you, they probably won't.

Well, Left wing strategies aren't working. What's the definition of insanity?

Sure, but it helps when there's at least an alternative. The Republicans didn't even bother with a candidate in Minneapolis last year. Hard to vote for a different strategy when it ain't on the ballot.

My understanding is that it's pretty similar in a lot of major cities. The GOP has written them off, and doesn't even try. Then they complain that nobody voted for their complete absence from the ballot.

Conservatives offer alternatives all the time. The Libbos counter that alternative by saying the Conservatives want to put black folks, "back in chains".

If there's no Conservative candidate, you can't vote for him. It's that simple.

The Left wing propaganda is too effective in minority districts. Can't blame Conservatives for not running in those districts.

Blacks don't vote for Republicans.......what would be the point other than wasting money?

But if they don't even run, it's pretty much impossible to win. So I do blame them for not running, because how do they expect to win if they don't even run?

They could set up community services that aren't government funded, to show that there's an alternative to welfare. They don't. They don't even try, and when they don't try you blame that on Libbos too. Maybe their ideas would have more success, but if they're not on the ballot you can't vote for them.

So, your suggestion is for Conservatives to give away free stuff? How is that different from the already failed policies of the Lubbos?

My suggestion is for them to look like they give a ****. By writing off the inner cities, they look like they don't. Then they complain about how "blacks don't vote for us unless we give out free stuff" when in general they don't look like they care, and given the fact that there's not even a candidate it's kind of borne out.

That's one lame ass argument you're presenting.

You're a black conservative, right?

Let's say that there's someone like you who lives in Chicago. They go to vote, and there isn't even a Republican to vote for. Who do they vote for? Nobody, because the Republicans have decided that they don't care enough to even give you a choice.

Now, why do you think Democrats win when they run virtually unopposed?

So far, the only argument you've presented is that there aren't any Conservatives to vote for and the Conservatives don't offer an alternative; an alternative that looks--strangely--just like the failed policies the Libbos have instituted for 4 decades.

If you're going to get an alternative, it helps if one is available.

What's your solution? Outside of screaming about Libbos of course. Wait fir them to see the light and...well, voting for Conservatives isn't an option, is it?

You people blame failure on EVERYthing, except your own failed policies.

The fact that there's no Conservative candidates has nothing to do with Liberal policies. And if the residents of the area felt that the policies were failed, who are they going to vote for?

Getting a Conservative candidate is not something the Liberals are going to do for them. That's the problem right there - policies are failed, OK. Who's going to put in an alternative? At this point nobody, because the GOP decided it's not worth their effort. Education system isn't going well, and instead of running candidates with better ideas, your solution is to scream "Libbos, Libbos!" Guess what? That ain't fixing anything.

Where is this, "Liberal policies are ****ed up because of Conservatives", argument going?

I didn't say that. I said there is no Conservative alternative in many cases. If there were, they could possibly win if they worked at it. It's very hard to win an election if you don't even have a candidate.

There's always a Conservative alternative. The Left choses to stay with it's failed strategy; intentionally, IMO.

There's only an alternative if there's one to vote for. The GOP chooses not to run candidates, Democrats win (obviously), and the policies continue.
