I don't believe either candidate represents or is concerened about the Black population especially when neither showed up at the recent NAACP convention, that was telling. Though I registered as a Democrat years ago, I'm becoming more of an independent-looking at each candidate and where they stand on the issues, I am more concerened about that and where they stand morally also, on abortion and gay marriages,which as a Christian I am opposed to. So, it will be very difficult for me to make a decision. I agree with someone earlier who said Blacks are not monolithic in their thinking and there are a majority of us who are trying to vote consciously.

You're on the right track.
Folks need to quit being in bondage to a particular party and vote on the candidate and the issues..I personally don't see how anyone could vote for a candidate that is outwardly for something like homosexual marriage..that in my opinion adds to the destruction of the already failing "core family" in America...but thats just me. Christians all read from the same book..but folks begin to interpret what they want to fit their own lifestyles and agendas..and they convince themselves that they do not have to stand for certain things. Bush isn't perfect..but he's got guts to come out in this moralLESS society and profess Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. I respect him highly for not necessarily saying what's popular...but standing firm by his convictions. In my opinion..this is the last President we'll have that will this and be elected.
