The Hip-Hop Republicans Are Just Like You

1. Good Luck, I think its not sterotyping Black Republicans, or the conservative nature, I think we are all conservative on some issues and liberal on other issues, I think when you have Black republicans who will go along with unfair attacks and now they don't agree with their party, don't stand up and say so. It was many of their fellow blacks that die for them to have the right to choose and vote Republicans, just like for them to remember.

3. Give me a break,,,,,,,,I accept that all of Black Americans are not Democrats. I also know that Black America used to be Republicans,,,,,but this day in age at this time you gotta be kidding me. I say you guys/gals need to re read the Republican platform. And let me ask you. How many Black Americans live in Alaska.

4. Well one of the great things the Civil Rights movement did was give us all the right to affiliate ourselves anyway we want. If a black person wants to be hard line conservative, they can be. There are plenty of reasons why some of them want to be and it's no one's business but their's. No one cries when the latino community votes republican though the GOP is heavy advocates of immigration bills. You think hispanics don't realize the Republicans are only courting them for votes but would deport them and all their families in a heartbeat?

7. WOW, IT TOOK 6 POSTS BEFORE SOMEONE YELLED "UNCLE TOM!" This blog is getting better. Keep up the same as usual politics. You liberals are funny. "how many blacks are in Alaska?" Wow! Thats a huge leap...kind of like leaping from Obama and his relationship with...well, everyone...strange. Curious, how come we don't see Obamas friends in interviews like we see Palins and McCains? No friends? Must be something to that!

8. Hip hop isn't a color. I don't think Obama is hip hop. I'm pretty sure Obama is closest to "Uncle Tom." Why the pass? My guess is that I know much more about hip hop than Obama. What is it that liberals do for blacks? They think you aren't smart enough to make it on your own. They know you will vote 90% with them. What do you think Republicans have against blacks? Bush has more blacks and minorities in his cabinet...THINK FOR YOURSELVES...ITS MORE FUN.

9. This guy is intelligent and well brought up which is a rare in the inner city community. He is probably republican because he realizes thats its not governmetns responsibility to change the inner city it starts with parents and roll models and good values and those are things the republican platform is strong on. that is why he is a republican he recognizes the real answer to the inner city quandry.

10. True Conservatives are correct about any immigration legislation. Somewhere around 80 percent of the US population want enforcement of our borders and strict laws to stop the illegal alien invasion. So where does Governor Sarah Palin stand on the festering issue? Neither party for decades have shown any real basis to trust them? Illegal immigration has got out-of-control and the estimated numbers put out by the administration has been doctored. The laws enacted after the 1986 Simpson/Mazzoli bill gave 3 million guest workers a chance at citizenship. Ted Kennedy who was the floor manager for this Federal bill promised no more Amnesty. He lied to the American people. Within the Bush reign Kennedy tried, with a complement of both parties, all but secretly nearly passed another bill. However when the people heard of this silent conspiracy their voices were heard loud and clear. NO AMNESTY! NO PATH TO CITIZENSHIP!

It costs the taxpayer to much money. It's stealing jobs from citizens and legal residents and offers nothing to America, but OVERPOPULATION and chain migration.The major issue was the loophole that was inserted called the "Family Reunification Act." New immigrant citizens could bring in parents and siblings, who could bring in their spouses. They, in turn, could bring in their family members--a chain migration. By 1970, there were so many disabled, and elderly parents that the government had to assist them. The government started Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and even SDI. That also included Medicaid, and some got food stamps and a housing allowances.

It's outcome is family reunion and extra costs for the disabled, mentally sick and elderly that never paid into the system. US.Taxpayers would be forever paying for the extended families and all those they sponsor.

Everybody is crying about the Economy? But do you realize the amount of money taxpayers are contributing to the lifestyles of illegal aliens.You are supporting their free health care, education and more than the unsuspecting taxpayers realizes. Forcibly assign to you by the parasite employers all around us. Both Presidential candidates are going to deliver to their corporate donors and special interest groups AMNESTY! That will lead to OVERPOPULATION, because the census estimates we will another 120 million more mouths to feed in just twenty years. A 50% increase in people. But what about the millions, just waiting to scramble across our undermanned border?

The SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) is our last chance. Read about America’s Optional Future – 439 Million by Mid-Century. Can we afford this future? We are importing poverty in large numbers at our undermanned borders. Democrats are mainly to blame. A sham of an underfunded border fence. WE MUST TELL THESE HIRED HELP IN WASHINGTON DEC, AND ELECTED OFFICIAL WE NEED HARSHER PENALTIES, FOR THOSE WHO STEAL ACROSS OUR BORDER. WE NEED THE FEDERAL SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) NOW. UNRESTRICTED FACTS AT NUMBERSUSA, CAPSWEB.

11. I don,t see difference in either party. What both civilian aspects of either party fails to understand is that, its not about the comfort of the people,or their rights, it,s about control of the masses. If either party was truly interested in the people which is supposed to be the foundation of self governance, than there would be no need for an election once every 4 or 8 years. Ask yourself, when has it not been usual Washington politics. Why is it that what happens internationally, make a difference weather their is great a great educational system, or real social change? How is having gone to Iraq and Afgahanistan, lowered the crime rate, prevented foreclosures, protected kids from petifiles, afforede equal rights for women and minoritys? If America wants to be the shining beacon of hope that it claims to try to be, than it has to gain substance by addressing it,s own dysfunctional social and political lifestyle, because all it appears to be is a cubic-zirconia.

13. ethnic groups are just as diverse as the many personalities on this earth. i hate it when people get lumped into one big herd.

14. I just turned 18 and will vote for the first time in the 2008 presidential election. Because I'm African American alot of people are surprised to hear I'm going to vote republican. And its not my friends and family who question or criticize my choice. It's white people who seem shocked. The same ones that say their not prejudice and don't stereotype are the ones trying to tell me to vote for Obama because "first of all he is black". I'm proud that an African American has been nominated for president but it doesnt mean I have to vote for him if I don't agree with his views. I can get pass the color issue. Obviously some white people need to do the same. (You know who you are Mrs. W., stick to teaching music)

Quotes by Governor Palin during a series of interviews by the Anchorage Daily News in 2006 when she was running for Governor...


On Creationism:

The simple yet elegantly awkward moose proves God's creation and not evolution is the source of all life. How could something as oddly shaped and silly looking as a moose evolve through so-called "natural selection?" Is evolution a committee? There is nothing natural about a dorky moose! Only God could have made a moose and given it huge antlers to fight off his predatory enemies. God has a well known sense of humor, I mean He made the platypus too.



On oil exploration and drilling in the ANWR:

God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago as ultimately flawed creatures, lizards of Satan really, so when they died and became petroleum products we, made in his perfect image, could use them in our pickup trucks, snow machines and fishing boats.

Now, as to the ANWR, Todd and I often enjoying caribou hunting and one year we shot up a herd big time, I mean I personally slaughtered around 40 of them with my new, at the time, custom Austrian hunting rifle. And guess what? That caribou herd is still around and even bigger than ever. Caribou herds actually need culling, be it by rifles or wolves, or Exxon-Mobil oil rigs, they do just great!



On Alaskans serving overseas in Iraq:

Well, God bless them, and I mean God and Jesus because without Jesus we'd be Muslims too or Jewish, which would be a little better because of the superior Israeli Air Force.
