    Bush was warned about impending attacks, and did nothing. Deregulating the mortgage industry, as well as the repeal of the Glass-Steagl Act (though under Clinton), were both spear headed by a republican congress.

    The Patriot Act, also spear headed by a republican congress.

    Most of the ? up ? that has happen since the war in Korea has been spear headed by a Republican congress.

    And that whole Iran-Contra scandal that gave us Reagan and ? is pretty well documented.

    Might wanna get that right
    She is a Republican

    There's supposed to be an unauthorized documentary about her life that she's not too happy about. Basically, she was power greedy and ended up republican because that's who was in power.

    But I doubt that she's loyal to any one party over the other, being pro-choice and all.

    Systematically, im not very sure what it would take, but one thing is for certain. as a black man myeslf, dont attempt to even ask me the same question because youll be fighting a lost cause. and that goes for both parties

    The only reason blacks arent republicans id the 1960s, the South and the lack of equality.

    All things being equal (and they arent) blacks are already social conservatives (to a fault). THe only thing stopping it is every time blacks try to make progress there is a Republican standing dead center in the way of it. Problem is democrats arent exactly pushing for it anymore.

    Atleast the Democrats care enough about our vote to pretend to be concerned.
    mostly they just presume they're getting the votes. this leads to minimal caring
    Yeah, I'm going to join the party who voted against the Civil Rights Act-]
    the Democrats? Republicans were something like 20% more likely to vote in favor of it
