"Republican party stands for capitalism and free enterprise" This is only partially true. They also stand against the increasing the minimum wage, and half the party, the Bush half, is for importing illegal Mexicans to take jobs that poor blacks might otherwise get. In other words, exploiting the labor of the poorest and most powerless among us. The blacks KNOW this. Some of them are poor, not stupid. Kane West had it RIGHT when he claimed, "Bush doesn't care about black people." after the pitiful response to the worst hurricane in our history hitting a mostly black city, a city that is STILL a basket case today, a year later.

1. The Republican party is still the racist party. The top 20 White House staffers include 1 hispanic, the rest are white. If I remember correctly, there isn't a single black republican member of congress. 2. The Republican party isn't for capitalism or free enterprise, it stands for corruption, cronyism, entitlement and government sanctioned theft. To say otherwise is simply laughable. Just one small part of this are the billions in cost-plus, non-compete contracts for cronies like Halliburton. Another small part is the no-price-negotiations in the massive Medicare bill. 3. Republicans want minority set asides, it's just that they have a DIFFERENT MINORITY: the ultrarich Republicans. To say otherwise is simply laughable. 4. Who are you kidding?
