Chas: You're still living in the early '70s with your blanket characterizations. In fact, we do have a "silent majority" in this country today, but these people are far different than those who were labelled such in the early '70s by Tricky Dicky. I'm talking about the disenfranchised who tend to vote Democratic ... middle-class African-Americans, the growing number of Hispanics, the single mom with two kids who's working two jobs. There's one common denominator for all these new "silent majority": They want good schools for their kids. So which party is most likely to accomplish such ... the GOP, which drove Jim Jeffords from the party by stiffing him on special education funding ... or the Democratic Party, which would rather spend our budget surplus on more teachers in our schools as opposed to giving huge tax breaks to the Dick Cheneys of the world?
