Wonder why the GOP can't get the African American vote?
Do you have a source for your accusation? Considering the Dems have former members of the KKK in Congress, I'm not sure they have any room to talk..

On tape: Trent Franks to Mike Stark on 2/26/10, see www.starkreports.com.

Yes, it is true about the KKK and Democrats. But they realized how wrong they were. Franks is proud of his prejudices. This is 2010 afterall and not 1953.

Don't y'all ever get tired of sitting in that bucket, searching so hard for perfect cherries, when there are none to pick?

Subject matter has been discredited on a previous thread.

The statement stands on its own. I don't see where it is discredited. He is saying is was better off to sell children, wip old men and women, deform them than to permit people access to a legal medical procedure.
