Future of the Republican Party

Future of the Republican Party

Democrats and liberals still like to call the Republican Party the rich white-mans party but it is far from that. More and more people are realizing it and joining the ranks of the GOP due to its core Conservative beliefs of lower taxes, less government and moral issues. And who is the latest group to join this Conservative fight and growing in numbers? It is African Americans.
Welcome back to the party of Lincoln!!
Quietly they have made inroads in the Republican Party, grabbed the torch of true Conservative principles, begun to speak out and run for public office. Gone are the days when the Democrats held African-American in check with bad policies of the government owing them, shackling them with welfare and no hope of succeeding. It has taken many years but they are coming home and making a positive difference not only in the Republican party but in all of America.
Many don't know this but the South after the Civil war was heavily Republican and run by blacks who were involved in government at most levels. But the concerted effort of Southern white Democrats to unravel all the gains accomplished by the Reconstruction Policies pushed the blacks back into bondage.
Its exciting to see this change take place because some of the most conservative thinkers and politicians are African- Americans. Just to name a few there is former Representative J. C. Watts, Alan Keyes, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, all are brilliant and true Conservatives. But the two that really have my interest is Ohio's Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell running for governor in Ohio and Lynn Swann running for governor of Pennsylvania. Both have a chance to be the first black governors elected in those states and a chance to carry the Conservative agenda even further.
Jumping ahead but have to add this, is the time right for an African-American as president? YES, it just won't be coming from the left side. But until that time comes lets see to it that Ohio's Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell and Lynn Swann get elected as governors, both are true conservatives and both deserve to be elected.
