Comments on: Black Ministers Back Clinton In S.C.

Clergy Play Key Role In Influencing State's Large African-American Population

No suprise there! Black church goers are so easily fooled! They are so used to voting wrong that they think it is right! Maybe Hill will pass another NAFTA like package that will put the rest of Black America on the unemployement rolls! LOL and SAD!

Unfortunately, all the Democrats are dishonest and all the Republicans are spineless. I really there was a good third-party candidate.

Are you sure? I thought it was the other way around -LOL

I''m convinced there are no good leaders today. No great minds like what there was every so often in history. If there are, they are being intentionally kept in the shadows, stiffled and perhaps mistakenly labeled as unpatriotic.

It must have been Hillary''s southern drawal that convinced them! You know, the one she only uses when she''s talking to Southerners! LOL

Check out the following web address for the article I referred to in an earlier comment (in The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, by Theodore Cross. It''s titled "Barack Obama is the Superior Choice for African-American Voters") www.jbhe.com/obamaprint

Folks should be asking which of the candidates has a platform/program to deal with racial inequality.

I urge folks to read a 2007 article by Theodore Cross in the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, titled "Barack Obama is the Superior Choice for African-American Voters."

He points out that, "Obama offers a concrete program for black America. Hillary Clinton offers none." he also states, ". . . the leaders of the Clinton campaign appear to believe that if she announces any form of a black program, she kills the support of voters she needs." Referring to Obama, he states,"Unlike Clinton, he outlines a comprehensive program to reduce poverty, revitalize America''s urban areas, and empower black Americans."

It really is a "no-brainer" . . .Barack is the superior choice.

As a former Democrat turned Independent, I can''t stand either Clinton or Obama.

These ministers conveniently forget that this will give Bill Clinton a second shot at the White House after he ordered the murder of thousands in the Balkans against the express wishes of our NATO allies. Of course, this puts the Clintons in good company since Ted Kennedy necer was held accountable for the murder of Mary Jane Kopechne.

They also forget that one of the top 5 most powerful Senators is Robert Byrd, a Grand Dragon in the Ku Klux Klan. Since Byrd has used the ''N'' word on the Senate floor, (I have seen it on C-Span) I''m appalled that Obama hasn''t mentioned this. Of course, the powers-that-be in the Democratic party are probably telling him that he is to leave the racism alone if he knows what is good for his Presidential bid.

Only one candidate out there that I really like but I''m sure he does not have much of a chance as he was virtually ignored in the debates. Unfortunately, all the Democrats are dishonest and all the Republicans are spineless. I really there was a good third-party candidate.

Please explain "conservative values" versus "entitlements and pandering". As I understand it entitlements are: social security, medicare, public education, gee, that about covers it. Now, conservative values are: anti-abortion, anti-gay rights, well, that about covers that. You might say that family values could be included but I really don''t know anyone who does not value their family. Even liberals love their mommies. If you look at the above it brings to mind the last election where the Republicans ran on conservative values. And it worked! Just look at us now. Here''s what they accomplished. No health care for millions. No energy policy. No improvement in education. No improvement in environmental policy. A national debt that is impossible to even comprehend. A national infrastructure that is crumbling. And a war that continues with no possibility of ending. For the major amount of time since the last presidential election they had the majority of the house and senate. So you want to re-elect the same kind of leadership? Educate yourself and as you do don''t lie to yourself. Look hard at the candidates and ask yourself, "can this person get the job done"? Don''t pay any attention to what organized religion says and if you do ask yourself, "WWJD".
