What? Social Security in and of itself is fine...it's the government using it for other things that is not.

But what I was talking about was the work in the 60s, where kennedy and johnson really got stuff done, thats where the biggest work got done, I'm not saying its a fair justification I'm just saying it is what people think of when they think of civil rights

By the way. Social Security is NOT FINE. Those of you morons who think of it as fine are idiots. Our generation is being screwed right now and will be screwed in the future. It needs to be fixed -- but nothing happens because, hey, if the republicans say something -- the 60 million elderly people who do nothing, who vote, hurt the republicans.

To be honest...the Republicans of Lincolns day have more in common with the Democrats than they do with the current Republican Party.

That's two flames in one sentence. The concept of Social Security is fine.....now read the rest of my post before spouting insults.:roll:

So you're saying freeing the slaves was a less imporant milestone in Civil Rights than Kennedy's work in the 60's?SilentFireX

No I'm saying the general public has a short memory

No..it's because Social Security is given out for reasons other than retirement.

Despite the Republican's push to free the slaves in the 1800's, most blacks will side with Democrats because they seem to, falsely, have their best interests in mind. At least, lately. It's a community thing, but, when you think about it, neither party really cares. Dems will throw terms like "Affirmative Action" around as teasers to get your ears perked when, in actuality, it has no true affects on employment and, truthfully, do not benefit racial minorities. To tell you the truth, I think it's a wholesale decision to choose the lesser of two evils. The lesser, in this case, being Democrats who try to sing and dance their way to a minority vote as opposed to Republicans ready to line the pockets of the upper class at the expense of the working class.

there r alot of stupid ppl in this world. don't act like some black ppl won't vote him in because of his colour. especially in the poverty areas where some believe that the only reason they r poor is because of their race. its the same with clinton im sure some women will vote her in just because of her gender. its very stupid yes but there r ppl like that, that blame their problems on their race/gender and feel that if they vote a person in like them that it will change

Im not talking about where they won, im talking about where the politicians are from. Southern White Politicians start with a -5 Charisma.

Lot's of black people are poor and/or working class. Democrats are more about letting the government take care of everyone. They give "handouts" in a sense. Republicans are more about not interfearing in people's personal lives as much.. not as much handouts. They are more for business by the people, and less help from the government.

That's why the lower class likes the democratic party. They give instead of show "tough love".. ya know what I mean? It's like a parent doing everything for their kids growing up, instead of letting them find out on their own, with guideance.
