Reply #5: Again, no choice............. [View All]

"Perhaps it’s because we have expressed disgust and mistrust with politics as usual that some of our friends and associates seem intent on scaring us to death. Numerous are the predictions of what will happen should an energetic, 32-year-old Rhodes Scholar of east Indian descent with a right-of-center platform emerge victorious in the November 15 gubernatorial election. Dire are the consequences, they foretell, if African Americans don’t rally around Kathleen Blanco and her equally right-of-center message."


Until Democrats start being Democrats again, not Republican "Lites", we will continue to lose these contests. This party has veered too far to the right and must return to it's roots if this trend is to be reversed. I'm not at all surprised at this. The people really have no choice. Either a Republican on the right, or a Democrat on the right. People tend to go with the original rather than the copy. When will this party wake up and smell the coffee?
