Because you might want to reduce your opponent's 90 percent advantage to maybe 70 or 60 percent one day? I don't think AA's "hate" Rs, but I leave you your comment.

...I agree that Mfume's rhetoric went a bit overboard, but it's just interest group politics on display. It's the same thing the Natl. Rifle Assocation, and other "conservative" groups, practice (albeit not as visibly as the NAACP did) regularly. If your constituency makes up a substantial part of a party's political base, you expect a certain level of treatment by the candidate(s).

TonyB06, In an Ideal world what you said would make sense. But AA's have showed that we are REactive, not PROactive and that no matter what, we will vote Democrat. Trent Lott had to step down for his comments, but Senator___ I can't remember his name right now actually said "NIGGER" and he was excused...because he's a DEMOCRAT.. When you've been in the dark so long....eventually your eyes will adjust and things will seem clear to you. (just like at the club

And finally, I'm glad you brought this up. If the NAACP wishes to endorse a political candidate, then they should become an interest group and change their status from non-profit. But I suppose that would hurt their bottom line so they don't want to do that right??

Im not sure what you mean by you are "leaving me my comment" so I'll leave that alone
