There is a lot of talk about Al Gore getting into the Democrat Presidential race to achieve party unity. With the animosity flowing both ways between Obama and Clinton, I am not sure that anyone could achieve unity if either one does not win the nomination. One of them has to win the nomination and the other has to lose. The winner’s supporters will really razz the supporters of the loser. This will not be pretty. This will be especially true if Mrs. Clinton manages to pull a rabbit out of the hat and win.

If Mrs. Clinton wins, the blacks in the Democrat party will realize that they are being played for suckers. They might even leave the party for this election and that might even be permanent. Once the blacks find out that they have more in common with Republicans than Democrats, they might just stay with the Republicans and leave the Democrats high and dry. If that happens, the Democrat party is the permanent minority party for the next generation or two.

The Democrats cannot afford to have blacks desert the party for even one election. They have to keep them on the plantation as their voting slaves. Blacks vote for Democrats and get little or nothing except for promises in return. Every now and then the Democrats throw something to them to let them know they are dependent on the Democrat party. Then they blame their lack of getting things done on the “evil” Republicans. Since the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, blacks have believed the lie that Democrats are the party that believes in equal rights.

The Republican Party was formed as the anti-slavery party. Because a Republican was elected to the White House, the Civil War was fought to free the slaves. After the Civil War the Republicans pushed through the amendments to the Constitution that gave blacks equal rights. Every equal rights act from the Civil War until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was authored and passed by Republicans. In fact, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was originally introduced in the late 1950’s by President Eisenhower. It failed because of the votes of the Democrats.

The Democrat party on the other hand has been against the rights of blacks from the beginning. The Democrat Party was supported heavily in the South before the Civil War. After the Civil War, the Democrat Party in the South instituted the Jim Crow laws to keep blacks down. The KKK was started by Southern Democrats to persecute Republicans that were giving rights to blacks and blacks that were getting to free. The Civil Rights Act of 1954, the Democrats crowning achievement in Civil Rights, was voted on by a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats. In other words, it passed because of heavy Republican support. If it had to rely on Democrat support, it would have gone down to defeat.

Even today, the Republicans are vilified by the Democrats and the media as being against rights for blacks. But, when you look at blacks in power positions, you find Republicans give blacks more power positions to blacks than Democrats do. I am not talking about a higher percentage, I am talking about more. There are more black Democrats than there are black Republicans. If you were a black person who wanted to aspire to leadership, you should choose the Republican Party over the Democrat party. You would have a much greater chance for a leadership position. You would also have a much greater chance at being elected President in the Republican Party than in the Democrat party.

If you look at the current election, Barack Obama holds positions that are far to the left. He has little chance to be elected President of the United States. Most voters want to pick a President than holds positions that are moderate or conservative. A candidate that holds positions on the left has to also hold positions that are on the center or right in order to be a successful candidate for President. Barack Obama holds all of his positions on the far, far left of his party. That leaves him little chance for election, unless he can fool the voters. So far, he has fooled a large number of voters. It is a long way to November and lots of people would love to paint him on the left. His party wants him to stay on the left. They will be upset if he moves to the center on any issue, especially the war against Islamo-Fascism.

Barack Obama’s connection to Jeremiah Wright and Tony Rezko will also hurt his campaign. He has been the pure and clean candidate that will unite and clean up Washington. It turns out he is just a typical Chicago politician that has accepted lots of campaign cash from big money donors and put some of it in his pocket. He has to rid himself of the sleaze factor in order to have a real shot. Things are not looking good for Barack Obama at this time.
