He was pissed because Shrub used religion to get their votes. Don't you pay attention? He was pissed because he campaigned to the people he insulted about the NAACP. Don't you pay attention? He was pissed because Bush ahs said publicly he doesn't care about the black vote, yet he went out and kissed ass. Don't you pay attention? Stop with the talking points and get your facts straight, that is, if you have any at all.

I'm not here to teach you or to correct your ignorance. You obviously have the internet, do some research before you show your ignorance about the subject. Simple as that. It's called Google.

Oh honey, we're going flush Bush in November, and I'm not referring to a vinegar douche.

Then your comments aren't productive or based on much of anything. Don't feign ignorance and don't comment on things you did not watch, it's only fair.

Don't be coming at me with this weak ****.

Weak ****? Name the one similarity between your beloved Democratic Party of today and the Democratic Party of the 1960s and the Democratic Party of the FDR era. Name one similarity between your beloved John Kerry and FDR or even Lyndon Johnson.

Don't make me laugh. It's time to wake up. Both parties have devolved to what they are today. Don't kid yourself. The Republicans are bad but in some ways the Democrats are even worse because they have been trying to outdo the Republicans since the day Clinton took office. The Welfare Act of 1996 would never have passed under Lyndon Johnson or FDR. And I doubt NAFTA would have either.

Really, it's kind of cute that you think the Democrats are so great. Cute, but misguided.

The first Black president will be a Democrat. His name: Barack Obama.

Now tell him why.

EDITED TO ADD: Didn't see your post #41. Powell was also mixed up in the My Lai massacre. he was also the one who went in front of the UN and sold them the bogus intelligence we used to start this war.
Not only that, the only person the Republicans are ever going to nominate for the gig is some cracker.

You're right, we have two African Americans who aren't being overlooked or taken for granted by the Republican Party... but what about the other 39 million?

Really, it's kind of cute that you think the Democrats are so great. Cute, but misguided.

Nader isn't exactly squeaky-clean either, and the Green Party even disassociated themselves with him.

Nader's career is littered with allegations of mistreated employees, backstabbing, tax-evasion, union breaking, and shady dealings with the very "big business corporations" he's often taken to task.

Yet, you still seem to think he's the best candidate.
So I don't think it's any more misguided to support the Democratic party or its presidential candidate.

Read the article I'm attaching from Salon.com. It's most definitely not the only source which explores Nader's "dark side," but it's starting-point.
