These Mama's are right in eating one candidate who is appealing to racists. "The race for the Democratic presidential nomination took another negative turn yesterday, with former Vermont governor Howard Dean under attack from his rivals for a comment he made about appealing to southern voters who have Confederate flags on their pickup trucks. " At Dean's rally, "There's no reason why white guys who have a Confederate flag in the back of their pickup truck shouldn't be walking side-by-side with blacks, because they don't have health insurance, either," Dean said.

I've heard all that bullsh*t before, over the past 40+ years, and learned from my pappy about how nothing changed since before then. The big problem is, no matter what the economic picture or outlook, the government ALWAYS provides "higher taxes for fewer services - worse education, fewer health care benefits, fewer retirement benefits, fewer educational benefits like student loans, fewer job opportunies..." In other words, the outcome is always the same, with government merely coming up with different excuses. Don't you read the papers or learn from experience?
