Because blacks are easily brainwashed, and incapable of making up their own minds.
No, it’s precisely because they are making up their own minds that they are entering Republican politics in ever increasing numbers.
Plus they’re throwing off the shackles of Tomism which the left has been using to hold them back for so long.
So what were they doing when they ran as Democrats?
Apologizing while continuing to press for more programs that hurt the poorer people, is bullshit. The Dems have advocated helping more people . The Repubs have pushed for concentrating wealth in the hands of the rich. That is what they should apologize for. The rich have had it their way since Reagan.
In the Nixon tapes he was recorded having a conference with a couple Repub big wigs. They are planning strategy and it occurs to them, they don’t need blacks and the poor vote. They can count on the votes from people who became the radical right in the future. They can be fired up to vote in strong enough numbers to counter the poor and the blacks. It was a revelation that changed the whole political system. They had enough people who would vote for them, against their own economic interests, based on social or religious reasons.
Beats me. I don’t know why anybody runs as a Democrat. 
Trying to get laid, obviously.
So long as you are abandoning the “Democrats talked them into it!” nonsense, I guess personal ignorance is as good as any backup argument.
Really? Do tell. How many more have entered Republican politics in the recent past?
Didn’t a black Democrat just recently get elected President of the United States? That’s some odd holding back going on there.
See, this last statement alone should amply demonstrate that Hector isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Why would the left call one of its own a Tom?
As for the first, I’d mention J.C. Watts, Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice, the recent Republican party head whose name unfortunately escapes me at the moment, Rep. West of Florida, and of course Herman Cain. I’m sure a Google search would turn up many more but the ones I mentioned are the ones who come most readily to mind.
Don’t forget Alan Keyes!
So, when you say the left has been holding them back for so long, who do you mean, then? Are you arguing that the right elected Obama? Who is being held back, and by whom?
None of those are numbers, stupid. You made a specific claim of “ever increasing numbers.” I want you to tell me how many, not to list off 5 people. Or are you claiming that prior to those five people, there were some number less than five black republicans?
Man are you completely retarded. How do you dress yourself in the morning? Do you dress yourself in the morning?
Considering how few blacks put up with the bullshit from the idiot wing of the Republican party, five might well be “increasing numbers” over the numbers they had in Starving’s beloved good ol’ days.
You may be right. An alternative explanation is that Starving cannot count.
Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, and Herman Cain haven’t been elected to anything.
That West fellow was elected. Too bad he’s crazy as a duck on acid.
Are you referring to Michael Steele? He was one of the dullest knives in the drawer, second to Clarence Thomas, who is not only incompetent but corrupt.
Steele brushed up against the drug-addled Limbaugh when Limbaugh accused him of not being fit to lead the Republican Party. Then Steele apologized to Limbaugh when he realized that Limbaugh was the de facto leader of the Republican Party.
Doesn’t matter. Blacks are attaining positions of power in the Republican party. Whether elected or appointed, they’ve been welcomed enthusiastically by an almost all white Republican constituency, which gives the lie to the claim that Republicans are racist. And again, the more that black people see this and enter Republican politics, the more black office holders we’ll have and the more black voters as well.
But no doubt **Starvy **is sure they were chosen to their offices purely on merit. His party’s need for “front window Negroes” had nothing to do with it, of course.
It’s 2011. That’s 150 years after the start of the Civil War. That someone is saying, in essence, “any day now there’ll be more black Republicans” is more of an indictment than a defense.
There is an aspect whereby the increase in black Republicans is clearly a good thing. That is, when a man becomes successful and prosperous, it inclines that man more to the view that virtue is rewarded, and that the order of things is as it should be. This is human nature. If you favor equality and justice, you favor the right of any man to make himself into a smug, self-satisfied asshole.
And so it goes…
