Thread Name: BS: Tavis Smiley on Wrightgate
Subject: RE: BS: Tavis Smiley on Wrightgate
I keep preaching revolution Hawk and so far I've only hooked you but that's progress. The system does not need a few improvements......It needs to be scrapped and replaced.

As far as this subject goes, I don't care what anyone thinks of Smiley or Janet or me either for that matter, but I'm going to repost what I posted yesterday regarding the speech and the Wright affair.......

I'm not real sure that he accomplished much with the broadbase American public that Nixon was so fond of, the infamous "Silent Majority." There are a number of news stories stating that same general idea.........But on a personal level I have listened to five conversations in the past couple of days out here in the great unwashed midwest who were left unimpressed.

It was a great speech but its a Catch-22 situation.........The same folks who would demand throwing Wright under the bus would be the first to say he tramped over people to get ahead. Not an easy one there of course but it will hurt more against McCain then Clinton, as the GOP will happily feast on this one through til November.


In this piss poor system we have, yeah, I favor Obama but why don't we all go out for a day and take some personal polls in diners and malls and barber shops and gyms or places where the "just plain old Americans" congregate and see where things are. Right now, I agree with the polls as the word on the street here in ignorant ass old Ohio seems to be McCain-Clinton-Obama in that order. November though is a long way off.
