but I swear, you totally lost me with this post. How does Irate Citizen's post have anything to do with living as an African American in Alabama in the 40s and 50s?

The point in the orginal post was to discuss ANYONE in politics or in the media that you feel you can still trust to tell you both sides of a story or perhaps tell you the truth about a situation.

Saying that I do not trust democratic politicians any more that I trust Republican politicians does not enable Bush. Rather, if enough of us say it and those Dem politicians get wind of it, their behavior will change and they will become at least a little more honorable in their actions and their dealings.

If they don't know how we feel then they will think it is ok for them to continue to support Bush because in some way it benefits them personally.

I don't trust people who are married to the opposition like Carville anymore. I used to but no more. I do not trust anyone on the DLC or DCCC. I do not trust the New Democratic Coalition because it is made up of the DLC and its old leadership still trying to keep power. And I definitely don't trust any Republicans.

But that's just me. I wanted to know how other Democrats feel. Sometimes when you have lost trust, you want to hear from others who either feel the same or else still feel some trust and why they do.

Anyway...the thing about being black in Alabama in the 40s and 50s coming back to haunt us today is true and I agree with you, but I just didn't think that idea belonged in this thread. I wish you would start a new thread with that idea.
