12. "Kow-tow"??
Edited on Thu May-22-08 06:50 AM by oktoberain
I've never met a minority person in my life who expected any party or government to "kow-tow" to them. There's an enormous magnitude of difference between honoring and respecting our Constitutional and civil rights and "kow-towing". Does the Democratic party "kow-tow" to YOUR rights when they refuse to allow the Repukes to institutionalize Christianity? Do they "kow-tow" to the people who belong to unions when they support organized labor? Is it only the majority that deserves to have its rights respected and honored today?

It does not and SHOULD not be "either-or". I want my candidates to have good economic policies AND good social justice policies. Anyone who doesn't have BOTH, to quote you, "probably wasn't a Democrat to begin with."
