Clinton's Diminishing of Black Voters |
|
Written by Derrick Z. Jackson
|
. . . Obama just got done being tarred and feathered as an elitist by Clinton and the talk shows for belittling "bitter" people in jobless small towns who "cling to guns or religion." Yes, that was dumb.
Yet here is Clinton dancing all over stereotypes. There is no way you can say in the same sentence, "hard-working Americans, white Americans," without diminishing black Americans as lazy. Boston Globe editorial

Texas Early Voting Wave as Reaction to Systemic Disenfranchisement |
|
Written by Alan Shockley
|
|
"Texas Republicans have worked overtime to make it harder for key
Democratic voting groups to vote and be represented fairly. The
redistricting games they’ve played are infamous. And for the Prairie
View A&M University precincts, they put the early-polling place
more than seven miles from the school.
So what did the students in this video do? They shut down the
highway as they marched seven miles to cast their votes on the first
day of early voting."

Written by Sam Smith

"In short, the Obamania needs to die on Inauguration Day, replaced by a
movement to end American imperialism, restore the Constitution, unravel
the evils of neo-capitalism and instill some eco-sanity."

Brian Moore/Stewart Alexander: SPUSA Candiates for President |
|
Written by Stephen Tash
|
|
Certainly, the Socialist Party is not expecting Brian Moore to be
taking the presidential Oath come January 20, 2009. Traditional
presidential campaigns of the Socialist Party exist for the purpose of
spreading the socialist message, for recruiting, which may ultimately
lead to an honest attempt to win the presidency. In light of the goals
of a presidential campaign, the Socialist Party could not have chosen
two better candidates for the job. - Third Party Watch
