Ross Perot rans as an independent.

Hey DMEK that giant sucking sound was your union job. Vote Democrat. HA HA HA

Democracy is nothing more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. That's probably why you like it. You've such a high opinion of yourself. You think you're one of the wolves. Guess again sheeple boy!

you think that dumb ass Reagan knew what he was doing? he busted the air traffic controllers, signifying the collapse of the power that unions once held. that, tied with NAFTA really took it to the union jobs in this country. i hate that thing, regardless of party

Interesting story considering the NAACP's charges of racism against the Tea Party.

SHOCK: Racism At NAACP Event? - wcbstv.com

Also, rumors flying that the Obama administration may have pushed hard for Sherrod's swift resignation given their uneasiness surrounding the whole Van Jones and Black Panther stories.

You know just as well as most other people, it's just gonna be political race wars no matter what. There's gonna be racists in the Tea Party just as much as there are racists in the NAACP.

But anyone who thinks racism still isn't alive, well and integrated into politics in the U.S. is just fooling themselves.

The problem is that practically all politicans are so damn corrupt and crooked its hard to tell those who hold prejudiced beliefs from those who are just a flat out idiot and don't know any better.

Just sayin.

Have you watched the full, unedited, video? Yes or no.

Did you know that the farmer's wife has spoken out in defense of Ms. Sherrod?

The story she was telling is a testament to how far this country has come. Andrew Britbart is well known for releasing edited videos and now he won't allow the company he contracted to release the full video. The company has backedup her story so at this point I don't get why he wont release the full video.

No I have not seen the entire video. I personally don't think what she sad was all that bad, but saying she sent the farmer to a white lawyer just because he was white is a little iffy.

I'm not saying the NAACP is a bad thing. Obviously it's not. But at the same time, they can find racism in a greeting card. Society nowadays is so uber-sensitive.

BOISE, Idaho — Three times since 2000, Republican Rod Beck failed in his bid to rejoin the state Senate, defeated by primary election rivals he insists didn't support party ideals. So Beck opted to change Idaho's GOP from within.
At the state Republican convention last month, he got his big chance.
Joined by tea party members, Ron Paul disciples and old-guard conservatives, Beck strode into the three-day confab in Idaho Falls amid a swelling national tide of frustration with Washington, D.C., magnified by Idaho's already rightist tilt. When it was over, a majority of the 500 delegates had transformed their platform with a spasm of anti-fed outrage — and anger at Republicans who Beck thinks have strayed from the fold.

The account also took place around 1986 when she was working for a non-profit, not as a federal employee as Fox news has been reporting. And you would think that if she was such a racist, the farmer in question would have come out and said it by now. On the contrary, he and his wife appeared on CNN earlier totally backing Ms. Sherrod and saying how they would have lost their farm years ago had it not been for her and the continued assistance she provided.

I'm hearing calls for her to be reinstated, although I doubt this will happen. Oh yeah, Breibart or whatever his name is isTHE biggest douche on the planet. I'm talking about sleeze ball from head to toe.

She took great pride in those racest statements she made and should have been fired.

I think Breibart rules and has shed light on things others shy away from. Accorn is a great example. I have heard that some think he was set up with this tape because of what he did with Accorn. It shall be interesting to see how this pans out.

I guess you felt the same way about CBS and 60 Minutes when they used those fake documents against Bush.

It's a shame that reps for both sides are quick to pull the racism card as a defense when we should be making strides to absolve it.
