First of all, I wasn't addressing you. That said, read what I posted to detroiter. I haven't stopped voting. In fact, you will see how I have voted.

I don't vote the straight party line. I look at each candidate and see where they stand on the issues. Believe it or not, that is true about me. When it comes to local elections, I will even email candidates on both sides of the aisle and ask them where they stand on the issues. Local candidates tend to take the time to answer such questions and I've found that no matter what their party affiliation, they've always answered me.

Do you do this?^ Or do you vote straight D all the time?

Seems to me many Democrats pander to and are the richest people in the US.
You've been buying the load of crap the Dems lay out.
It amazes me that people still think dems are all about the poor, working and middle classes, when, in fact, so many are limousine liberals.

Don't people realize just how many millionaires --- on both sides of the aisle --- that are reps and senators?

Most of the rhetoric over blacks being disillusioned with the democratic party is a smoke screen. This issue gets airspace because the GOP leadership needs to remind a certain faction of the Republican Party that the Democratic Party is the party of black folks. They are not trying to get blacks to vote Republican. I think those "Rednecks for Obama " bumper stickers sent chills up their spine.

As long as they're registered, they'll vote. They may not make it to the polls but somebody will vote for them.

The elitist say it's too hard for blacks to do what others do. No worries, Hillary is on it.. telling the world that it's too hard.

So, don't go getting your hopes up.

Oh..last thing...quit hoping that we'll stop voting.
It's not that I expect them to switch parties. I hope that they start holding their own party accountable. This isn't about which party is better or worse because they both are in the chitter. Democrat's lie and ensalve their people with money for votes in addition to lining the pockets of their friends. We won't even get into bringing illegals in over their minority voters. Conservatives lie and throw their voters under the bus to feed their corporate buddies while offshoring jobs.

Not much to pick from..
