Joyce said:Therious,
I felt like that and had no intention of voting. I expressed this on another thread but then I believe it was River that reminded me of our struggle to get to the point where we COULD vote. I knew better, but then I was just kinda fed up with the deterioration of the democratic party and the games they play on blacks every term to get our vote as they so assuringly know we will give it. Well they ain't gittin' mine this time. Kerry is just about as sorry as they come and in the past, Clinton really sucked too. (oh I know I'm gonna git it for saying that , but it's the truth) and Bush is just about as bullish and thick-headed as they come, Though I don't agree with his tactics in dealing with terrorism, I am impressed with the amazing "comeback" of our economy after the 9/11 tragedy for it hasn't been this good overall in over 25 years. Thus, even though he is a republican, I will definitely be (beat me ) voting for him. Kerry hasn't shown me anything and I be doggone if I'm gonna vote for him just because he's a democratic . Naw...I ain't going there no more. uke2:
For black people, no matter what party has been in office...we are still lacking in some things and this really bothers me. Yet...I will be voting
Moreover, I still respect the opinion of blacks who choose not to vote. Sometimes, I think we should ALL "sit it out" and not vote at all during presidential elections until some things change. That can prove to be more powerful than voting, I believe. Yeah, sometimes I think we should let them know that we are going to "boycott" the elections if they (either party) don't start working towards the benefit of the African American community in a more pointed and targeted way.
Just my 2 cents...Joyce running out of here...fast!

JOYCE NOT TO ArGUE W/ OVER UR DECISIONS. BUT DO U REALLY THINK ITS HEALTHY 4 A BLK PERSON TO VOTE FOR BUSH? THE ECONEMY IS BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN IN 25 YRS??? SAYS WHO. If U ASK ME NOTHING HAS CHANGED.all that econemey recovery crap is propaganda by the bush team of liars to spin this f'd up world in their favor. bush is a member of the new world order pschos, that have one goal control the worlds natural resources, and economic trade. while literally massacring anyone who is not wht!!!!!
AT LEAST UNDER CLINTON HE RAISED THE MINIMUM WAge(although clinton aint s%%% either). the right wing party has heavy ties w/ kkk, nazzis, skin, heads, world church of the creator, wht supremecists in general. bush has taken money from inner city schools, bush is an enemey to blk people(and the entire world of melanin). not that the dems r any better, which is xactly my point.
i believe we need a third party, if i did vote it would probably be 4 ralph nader. again joyce not to argue with ur decisions but please dont vote racist peace of s** george bush.
u might as well invite the klan over 4 dinner.
