Jonah Goldberg asks a great question in Tuskegee and the truth, "...why (do) blacks remain the most reliable voters for the party of ever-expanding government power...?"

It's worth noting that the Tuskegee study, launched under the New Deal, was symptomatic of arrogant liberal government.

Rush Limbaugh had a similar, along the same lines riff yesterday. He said that the Super Delegates are very worried that Obama, after the Rev. Wright affair, can't beat McCain and would love to choose Clinton (who can't win either). They fear they will alienate the black voters forever if they don't choose Obama. Limbaugh says not to worry. Blacks have been screwed by Democrats often, but keep coming back. Go ahead and choose Clinton!

Big government has not been kind to blacks. Take one example: New Orleans and Katrina. The Democrat governor refused help from Bush as storm drew near and the black Democrat mayor sat on his buses as people drowned.

If you are a Republican, you have to love what's going on with the Democrat party. Here's a comment from The Oregonian's editorial page:

"...(Democratic) party leaders face a series of grim choices between now and their Denver convention in August.

They could and, for their own good, should prevail on their uncommitted superdelegates to make their choices clear before the convention.

But if that settles the dead heat problem, it does not solve the Michigan-Florida problem."

Here's Democrat Kate Brown's ad for Oregon's Attorney General

Isn't that rich. Their party is going to disenfranchise the voters in Michigan and Florida. They are going to disenfranchise blacks in those two states and they are going to disenfranchise Hispanic voters that they have worked so hard to bring on board. And don't forget women who voted for Hillary are going to be swept back to the time before emancipation.

In the end their nominee may be selected in a smoke-filled room by old white men.
