Choas That is My Democratic Party
Posted on May 31st, 2008 by ecthompson
OMG!! OMG!!! I’m so depressed. I guarantee that we would never see this type of behavior in the Republican party. This process is extremely painful. I would almost rather have a root canal than watch the Democratic party in action. We should all understand that this is also how policy is decided. It is an ugly process but it is a Democratic process.
Dr. Thompson:
Please help me out. I read the banner from this blog in which you ask “Where is the outrage”.
As a Black man who is very familiar with the circumstances that are going on within the Black community where Democrats own about 99% of the seats that preside over our interests when our votes tip the balance. Indeed they run our schools, our police forces via the mayor’s office and the hand out zoning and business licenses via their control of city council.
When you ask “Where is the outrage?” why is it that you seem to point to the top of this pyramid as it currently stood for 7 years rather than at the wide base of the pyramid where the services that impact our community on a daily basis are governed by people of OUR OWN CHOOSING?
Please tell me why I should not be more OUTRAGED at the wide and prevailing fabric that blankets our community but instead should focus my angst against Bush? Why not BOTH with more toward the local since THE BLACK COMMUNITY voted for these local people EXPECTING something different but did not vote for Bush ?
