Reply #90: One could say that it was 'party politics'... [View All]

[Q]

...that put Bush* in office. How quickly we forget history.

- Democrats could have used our legal/justice system to keep Bush* out of office in the first place. At the very least they could have stood up with the Black Caucus and defended their civil rights in Florida and other places. Failing that...they could have prevented him from becoming the 'most popular president in wartime history' by demanding that the whole truth about 9-11 be told to the American people.

- I'm not talking about 'strength'. Remember that little lady who refused to be bullied to the back of the bus because of the color of her skin?

- I'm not degrading them for their 'lack of strength'...I'm calling them on their lack of resolve, courage and patriotism. After all...'evil' prospers when good men/women do nothing.

- You're dreaming if you think the party is still has a desire to include 'everyone'. Saying they're 'included' means nothing if you're not prepared to help or stand up for them. Democrats SAY Blacks are 'included'..but time and again have failed to stand up for their rights as citizens. Florida is a great example: Blacks turned out in record numbers to vote for Gore...but many of their votes were thrown in the trash. What was the Democratic response: get over it. We can't just say we have a big tent and do things like this.

- If your 'main focus' is to get rid of the Bushies...you're sure going about it in the wrong way. How many times do you have to be slapped in the face before you realize someone is slapping you? The Bushies are gleefully slapping the shit out of us and our Constitution. And your response is to run a candidate against them in a rigged election?
