8. What is your point??? I PROUDLY voted for Jesse Jackson & loved the thought of Jerry Brown/Jackson

I also find Rev. Al Sharpton to be the ONE and ONLY person on tv now that I listen to 100% of the time, and Rev. Al never, ever lied to me like say trash like John and his wife Edwards did.

so what is your point here?

Why the negativity toward Rev. Jackson, one of the giants of the post-Dr. King years in the civil rights movement. Do you think his run, where if not the presidential candidate, he should have been the VP on Mondale's ticket or Dukakis' ticket something that was funny???

Without Rev. Jackson, Obama could not have had an easy chance in winning.

Rev. Jackson was in the long line of people who made even dreaming of a President Obama possible (and that includes Shirley Chisolm, and all the Civil Rights heroes of the past, and the legendary President Johnson(who I never forget to thank, because, well HE DID IT, he signed those acts making ALL people equal instead of the way Thomas Jefferson wrote it, however was a major hypocrite, being that Jefferson owned people, and abused them, especially the females.)

So again, what is your point here? Why the negativity against Rev. Jackson, who I voted for twice, and loved the thought of Jerry Brown/ Rev. Jackson as a ticket.

(and you are not professing love for Ralph Nader, are you???

This is the Democratic site, not some stupid third party site who caused Al Gore to lose in 2000 you know. YES HE DID. Without Nader, Gore would have won New Hampshire, and the election and Florida would not have mattered.

so again, what is your point here???

(and I thought by outlier you meant Truman defeated by Dewey, but from your own secondary responses, that was not the case.)

and to Rev. Jackson, my thoughts and prayers to you and your family in your families time of need. THEY have tried to bring you down for decades.
Stand tall, and we still have your back.
