Yeah, GUEST. You and your disdain for Clinton really speak for black folks. Right.

I'm the token cracker in an all-black office. The folks here love Clinton and would vote for him tomorrow if they could. It's YOU, not Kerry's supporters, who are out of touch with minority voters.

Many of Kerry's supporters today are black voters who previously supported other candidates, especially Howard Dean, Dennis Kucinich and Carol Mosley-Braun. As you may know from national polls, Kerry is running neck and neck with Bush. Some say 43-43, some 48-48, but the point is they're close. Do you really think it's possible that this half of the population is "a bunch of white, middle class Americans who have since the 2000 election, 'seen the light' because the shit finally hit them. But when the shit was only hitting working class people, the poor, people of color, women, immigrants, the disabled, the unemployed, and other traditionally marginalised groups, they could have cared less?" Do you really think, for example, that he has no supporters who are WOMEN?

Or maybe you just think we're all idiots who will buy this crap.
