Do me a favor. Go work in a homeless shelter for awhile. I say this because from that comment you really have no clue what it is like. and - for your information Tower and Gldstwmn have said they were at one point homeless and they are both true success stories. So, it happens. But, you really have no clue what having nothing is really like. You have no clue what it is like not to eat for a few days. You really have no idea what it is like to be spit upon. You really have no idea what it is like to walk into a McDonalds in clothing you have been wearing for a week that reeks and try to apply for a job. These people have enormous roadblocks to even finding a job on which they cannot live. Surely you see that.
You know, I really appriciate what you just said. I've never been homeless, but I used to have more money thatn I have now, quite a bit actually, and I'm just now learning that I cant always have what I want. I always try to help someone that needs it, even if its only a little bit, because you never know when it's gonna be your turn to need the help. It can happen to anyone of us.

Yes, but he does it to get a rise because I truly believe no one can be that much of an idiot. Then again, I am an optimist BTW - did you know Reagan believed in less govt.

Well, I think you should wear your gayness proudly in front of them. Actually, you'd get hit on more than you think

Yeah, and he was also a supporter of apartheid in South Africa.

Are you crazy? He appointed Ron Brown. Clinton is widely considered to be America's first black president-by black people.

Is Ron Brown a black woman? I don't think so. I think I said "BLACK WOMEN".

I'm laughing because most people who know me would laugh reading that right now. "ghetto" would not be the way to describe how I dress.

There can be no question W has appointed the most high or the highest profile African Americans a la Powell and Rice. But, if you mean D African Americans, which I suggest is a different thing, then maybe Clinton wins there.

That's not being argued against. I'm correcting Mr. Brown Eyes' false statement regarding black women and Clinton (which came right out of Ann Coulter's mouth, BTW). Pay attention!

He also wins in terms of judicial appointments. Shrub looks absolutely pitiful next to Clinton in that arena.
