GOP Plans More Outreach to Blacks.

Just a few weeks prior to Hurricane Katrina, the GOP Executive Director Ken Mehlman said the republican party would be reaching out to more Blacks. President Bush's late response and former FEMA Director Mike Brown's lackadaisical rescue and recovery effort was a grand example of what compassionate conservatism is all about.

Instead of keeping those displaced close to home, Blacks were dispersed to all 50 states to various shelters. While they were on the way out, cheap labor illegal immigrants were being brought in on government issued, white school busses with tinted windows to take construction jobs that should have gone to locals. That practice was a direct result of Pres. Bush waiving the Davis-Bacon Act which guaranteed a minimum age to local workers. This would benefit Bush's developer buddies who can make a lot more money hiring illegal immigrants under the table.

The "liberal" media ignored the fact that around 40 GOP, labor friendly senators joined democrats in over-riding Bush in getting Davis-Bacon reinstated. Don't let right wing mouth pieces tout how the Bush Administration has appointed more Blacks & minorities to high level positions than any other President. It's not about who an administration appoints, its about the policies they propose and implement. If Bush appointed Blacks that supported policies that improved the quality of life and opportunity for Blacks nationally, then Blacks should consider voting for republicans. But this White House has only implemented policies that have been detrimental to both middle & working class Americans of all racial persuasion. While Mehlman planned on outreach to more Blacks, he might want to think about reaching out to all Americans as his party and leadership is nothing but a playground of arrogance, deceit and hypocrisy.
