Here's Rush on why blacks don't vote Democratic.

"Why they do so is something you can't say if you want to be around tomorrow. I've danced around this for 15 years, because people react to it with an emotion unseen in discussing other voting blocks. There's nothing complicated about it. The reason 94% of the black population is never going to vote for Bush or a Republican no matter what that Republican does is that they've chosen a way of life where Democrats are the masters and they're on their plantation. They have been made wards of the state.

They have been made totally dependent thanks to a deliberate effort by liberal Democrats to make them a permanent voting block."

Yep. 94% of American blacks have chosen a life where they are slaves.

This is a very ugly kind of race baiting, but beyond that, it's ludicrous. While a larger number of blacks are on welfare as compared to society as a whole, the number is nowhere near 94%. And we only count those people who vote. It is the black middle class that votes, not those on welfare. And why do they vote for Democrats as opposed to Republicans. Well I suspect it has to do with Democrats being willing to try to solve America's problems as opposed to ignoring them and blaming the victims. But it's also possible, Rush, that racially divisive rhetoric by Republicans might drive some away.
