Fixing to get de-blogrolled 

First of all, there's http://www.blacksforbush.org/, which is a useful progressive site, and there's http://blacksforbush.blogspot.com, which is a conservative site whose proprietor Scott has recently commented here. The blogroll will be redone entirely soon, but the miscategorization of the Blogspot site was significant enough that I made this adjustment immediately. Scott's been moved to the Conservatives box, and Blacks for Bush.org, the intended recipient of the "cognitive dissonance link, is both linked and named. The rest of this post exists solely to provide an immediately available response to Scott's post that was inspired by "On Tactics."

Prometheus 6 has agreed with the premise of this blog in his latest post,"we're taking bids for our votes after that from all comers". But of course as usual, the timing is not right, to quote "the Neocon thing currently in place that has to go". As always Black America showing its power needs to wait for a better time.
I don't think the premise of Scott's blog is to "[take] bids for our votes from all comers."

The time is exactly right to establish the Black constituency's power. The question is, what is the most constructive way to exercise it. The right to bear arms implies the ability to shoot oneself in the foot, and even to hold the gun backward while aiming. The correct exercise of power is not a reflexive flailing.

I've laid out my reasons to vote against Bush. None have been addressed, much less refuted. As to the specific statements made in this post, those that are even possible to consider valid interpretations of Democratic positions have been refuted numerous times elsewhere. The others:

We have a democratic presidential candidate suggesting that we lower taxes on corporations so they can pay even less than the less than their fair share they are currently paying.

We have democratic protectionist telling our trading partners to raise prices on their goods so poor black consumers can purchase fewer things with their dollars.


are hallucinatory.

We have to be concerned about the soundness of the structures we live in as well as our personal physical health. And right now the USofA is such that the basement floods during a storm (race) and the roof is on fire (warmongers). My position is, if you don't put out the fire you can't clean up after the flood or even waterproof your foundations.
