Go ahead and run against Bush. Lotta good it will do you, except to fire up the kook-left, which won't matter.
McCain used to have that reputation, no longer. Not with all the flip flopping he has done to align himself with Bush and the party

Won't even venture into the KNOWN bad reputation of the politicians there. And ObamaBoy in bed with both.
There is something not right about Chicago? Are you serious? We have every snake oil selling minister on our TVs day and night and no one dares to shut them down! Their holy message, "Send me 100 dollars to sow the seeds of prosperity in your life!!!"

These rich men and women prey on the hopes and fears of the shut ins and poor, never caring about what it does to the families that send these ministers hundreds of dollars that they actually need in their own lives.

I watched Parsley the other day asking for money for his state of the art studio, did Jesus need a state of the art studio to start a revolution? I think not.

So before throwing stones at one church for being Charlatans, you better have a quarry ready to supply the stones for the rest.

Meanwhile,the parishoners of countless small churches around the country, especially in the inner cities of Chicago, Philadelphia, LA etc are doing Jesus's work in humble silence.

He is a baiter that appeals to peoples hate just like hitler did. Barnum was right.His speech is just like the white supremeist movements just aimed at a different group. When people have no self worth many will always turn to this type of leader.Listening to him he is a priest and christian in title only.

He hasn't? What about his complicity in the murders of millions of innocent unborn (and some just-born) babies? By supporting pro-abortion politicians (Pfleger started Catholics for Obama and campaigned for Obama in Iowa) he is complicit in the holocaust that, to date, has killed over 50 million babies. Don't tell me he has never harmed anyone. That's like saying that the people who supported Hitler never harmed anyone. The man should be defrocked along with the homosexual priests who abused young boys. He is just as culpable even if you can't put a name on his victims.

Here's another report with a lot of facts and figures for you: http://www.opm.gov/About_OPM/Reports.../feorp2006.pdf
Bad example...those are government jobs. And only certain divisions. I can tell you that Black people have always aggressively sought government jobs because you don't need a network to get in. It's a whole different story in the private sector...which is much larger and offers more lucrative pay and advancement opportunities.

So yeah, Black women are still at the bottom of the totem pole.

No Black people don't hate you because you are White; we just hate when White people complain about racism and would rather do and say anything rather than own up to reality and what is really going on out in this country right now....today. It's just really irritating and gets old. Especially when the information is out there and people would just rather remain in the dark about race-relations. Well that and people don't like being criticized nowadays in general.

This is the truth. They live in their own world and hang with their own kind. And yes they are a hateful bunch. You know how you can tell a Democrat from a Republican? When a Democrat drives down a country road and sees a dog, he will stop and rescue the dog. The Republican will swerve and try to hit the dog.
Sorry, you're wrong. I'm a Republican. I'm also lower/middle class, white, and gay. Republicans aren't the only people that own country clubs. I wasn't aware that the ability to play golf was a requirement for either political party. Maybe you make up the truth as you care to see it. I've met all sorts of people at the local GOP meetings. From business owners to single mothers, the entire spectrum is represented. They've all been very nice to me even after I told them I support Ron Paul.

Maybe the Democrat should let nature take its course instead of making it fully dependent on someone else.
