"Every 4 years, people just like you show up with the same crappy papers and the same boogey-man story. Those tactics don't work because the boogey-man has been in those neighborhoods so long that this is not news and you're not gonna get people all worked up and sympathetic because the economic woes they've dealt with all their lives are now affecting White America. No matter how much you may disagree with that statement that's exactly how they see it.

This is very true, but with Republicans in office, the chances of people having any hope is obliterated. I grew up poor (on welfare) and lived among the poorest areas of the inner city.

Democrats have programs in place to help poor of any color with child care assistance, higher education, after school programs, head start, health care programs etc... these programs "directly" effect the poor. They are disapearing to finance Haliburtons profit in Iraq and tax cuts for those making more then 1,000,000.00 don't you think people care about that?

I know I sure as hell do.
