Republicans and Democrats

Talking about Al Sharpton, I can actually visualize him riding a donkey. I say that in reference to the Reverend Sharpton's speech during the 2004 Democratic Convention "We didn't get the mule. So we decided we'd ride this donkey as far as it would take us."

Rev. Sharpton made these comments as he endorsed John Kerry and current Presidential candidate John Edwards in the 2004 Democratic Convention. It was a blow to the Republican party. A guarantee that the majority of the black vote would go the Democrats. No elephant ride this time. The 40 acres and a mule failed to materialize so, the Reverend is taking the ride on the donkey. Or is it the donkey that's taking the ride?

Some Democratic candidates take the black vote for granted. Yes, they take the ride for free. Democratic candidates don't seem to have to work hard to get the black votes. One in particular tries to capitalize with a bit of nonexistent commonality. As for Mrs. Clinton, I don't see what she has in common with the average black woman or the average white woman. Whatever happens to the stick to the truth.? Does she think blacks are that gullible or that stupid.

Anyway, how be can a donkey carry all that weigh? Hey! somebody is not telling the truth.

The Republicans, what a shame. The Republican party can't seem to shake that "racist" image of the party. There seems to be a fear among Blacks or some minority groups of the "racist Republicans". I hear people complain that the Republican party is for wealthy people. Isn't the state of Connecticut a wealthy state? If the Republican party is for wealthy people, then, why does the state of Connecticut vote democratic?

If the Republican party if for wealthy people, why is it that some wealthy Blacks or Whites vote for the Democrats? Are people analyzing the issues correctly or are they allowing others to make up their mind for them?

Could it be a misunderstanding? a stigma perhaps? Is there a fear that voting Republican is a vote against Blacks? Is the Democratic party playing mind games?

Are there any "racist" Democrats?
