Dumi by the time you see this I’ll probably have posted my response on the blog.

He has been part of some good things, but I don’t think he’s truly an Independent, and his so-called threat he did with Illinois Governor, Blago, was as laughable as the so-called march he did against King Richard (mayor of Chicago). There’s a church sitting where a a couple of schools could have been built, and he pastors it. Meeks wants to seem like he’s the outsider, when he knows his district is strongly Democrat, his congregation is strongly democrat, and Indepedent seemed, in my opinion, to make him come off as neither.

I agree though, that nationally a third party has no chance. Also, getting a blacks to “actually” move to the GOP would be a task and there not enough space on your blog to spell it out.

But independent party politics can work at the local level and at the state level. Particularly in one-party cities. Still takes a lot of effort and the cards are stacked against you but there is much more room to maneuver.

With that said I believe the best program for black people is to articulate policies they are interested in, using the language of both parties. Then support the candidate that supports the policies. Most of America has been doing the opposite, supporting candidates they trust in the hopes that the candidates will come UP with policies when they get in office. Doesn’t work that way.
