1. the gop wishes for sharpton as the dem candidate

that way they can energize their bigoted, racist base

if sharpton was the dem nom, they could stop with the gay bashing that has become so popular amongst the sheeple

2. The only thing Sharpton has ever stood for

is his own self aggrandizement.

He's in the race because he gets to travel on someone else's dime, stays in 4 star hotels on another's dollar and boosts his eventual speaking fees.

About the only issue I've ever agreed with Flush Slimeball is his contempt for Sharpton.

3. Sharpton compromising his values to get elected?

Trouble is, he doesn't have a chance in hell. And his "routines" continue to help the stereotype of the "shuck and jive Negro" alive in the minds of the latent racists who support the GOP.

Very troubling, indeed.
