I suspect the reason millions bash themselves over the head by voting for bush,
is that they are closet racists.
1. have you seen any studies that try to ferret out what percent of republican support is due to racism? Despite difficulties in getting people to admit it?
2. I offer two ways to get more racists to support dems.
We reduce racism two ways:
A} end the hostility that follows from fighting over scarce jobs.
Promise "jobs for all"... 100%, not the weak idea of 4 percent unemployed being OK. Other nations have achieved 100%, so we can too.

B} end the fear of block-busting. Guarantee house values. Avg. joe has 40 K of his total 60 K invested in his house at age sixty... figures from ten years ago, AARP. Blockbusting threatens his savings. Find some way to insure his house value, no matter what, forever. Perhaps fed insurance, perhaps nationalize housing while still giving him ownership and inheritorship. Give me ideas here, folks.
