Looks like it's 'do as I say, not as I do'.
Kerry Draws Fire Over Lack of Minorities.

Looks damn foolish to me. Kerry will need ever Black and Brown vote he can get to have any chance of upsetting Bush.
Talking with my Black coworkers, Kerry isn't perceived as 'Black' like Clinton was. He's just another rich white guy.
Kerry needs to act a lot smarter than he is acting now.

This entire campaign is a house of cards.

Speaking of race, the Kerry campaign is coming under fire from some Democrats and advocacy groups who are upset about the lack of minority representation in the upper levels of The Poodle's campaign. It's so much fun when Democrats turn on their own, isn't it?

It turns out Kerry's inner circle is mostly white. Some are complaining about the lack of diversity, but check out who is coming to his defense. None other than the Congressional Black Caucus, whose leader, Jesse Jackson, Jr. said the criticism was unfounded. His reason? "I am concerned about diversity, but more importantly I am concerned about the experience in that diversity - senior policy people who know people from one end of the country to another." In other words, we aren't really concerned about race....we just want somebody that's knowledgeable and has connections.

Can you imagine if a Republican tried to get away with that? They wouldn't...and the first people to be jumping up and down screaming if they said something like that would be the Congressional Black Caucus. You know it's true.

Bush disenfranchises thousands upon thousands of minorities and wants regressive taxes on the middle class and the poor to pay for windfall taxcuts for his buddies and you guys whine about crap like this?

They rip you off and you ask for more.

Do you have any documentation supporting your claims?

No? I didn't think so.

The rabid attacks from the left are so transparent. No facts, just idealistic crap.

"Do you have any documentation supporting your claims?"

When people discuss politics do they need citations and bibliographies?

Kerry needs a bunch of wealthy minorities in his circle like Dubya........Oreo Cookies.

Slackpac has no appreciation for History. People cite sources and figures all the time and what do you always do? Run and hide.
