The real victims of 2008: racist, misogynist Democrats
Their choice comes down to a black man, white woman, or another great depression and draft. Poor bigots.

1. IMHO, Ferraro (sp) and Bill C. basically told the bigots that it's
OKAY to be bigots. Sad.

3. Someday I'll tell my story about going from being a racist
RW wacko to a liberal dem. But in short, many people don't question what they've been raised to believe. In that sense, they're victims of their upbringing. It takes something pretty drastic to shake them of their prejudices. And it certainly doesn't help when our "democratic" politicians reinforce those prejudices.

Sigh. I have to get to work. Maybe this afternoon I'll have time to tell my story.

9. Hopefully then you'll explain who the bogus victims are you're contrasting the 'real' ones with.

6. Anger brings out the worse in people
In reality, if folks were not so damn pissed off - I don't think you would ever be making that statement.

There is just lots and lots of anger - and a few misogynistic or racist folks, but I'd never use it as a generality to describe Dems.


peace~:)
