Great Discussion
I just wanted to comment...
I feel for a lot of african americans they feel like it's all in presentation and when they see the democratic party they feel like they can relate to the party as a whole. Most of the faces of the Democratic Party (Bill Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards) are people that in some way connect with the majority of african americans. But when you look at the Republican Party and their representation (George Bush, Condi Rice, Dick Cheney) they just don't come across to african americans as people who care about african americans. They are continuely saying and doing things that we don't agree with. I feel that most african americans understand that their needs to be a separation of church and state. That's one of the main things that frustrates me about the Republican Party or should I say Religious right that feel that everyone should be a christian. I am a christian and I understand they believe that the christian views are right (no pun intended) but I understand that there are other religions and who am I to say that my religion is superior to yours. I could go on and on about this subject. My friends and I always have these discussions about how we feel about the Democratic and Republican Party. One thing that we have all agreed on is that we don't really like to be identified as a Republican or Democratic cause we agree with each on some issues.
Maybe they should create new political parties. I don't know just my thoughts
