(15,438 posts)That's when my deep loathing for Duhbya began as it did with many, many, MANY other Democrats and sensible Liberals because he and his cronies, his brother, and his daddy's pals on SCOTUS disenfranchised Jewish and Black voters - mostly Black voters - in Florida - a State VP Al Gore actually won despite their attempts. I'm surprised you'd already forgotten that. Fancy that.
And today, every single Republican and Republitarian hates Duhbya for "his policies" - i.e., they weren't conservative enough and they didn't kill the middle-class fast enough. So you're not unique in that. Hatred for Duhbya is universal on both sides of the political spectrum - and for the same reasons. But I was there from the get-go, ever since December 2000.
And you are 100% wrong to believe that "most people" aren't invested in politicians. That's pure bull, and you know it. So stop selling that milquetoast meme.
NO Democrat, least of all this president, dismisses the poor, but if you don't believe (and I know you do, so stop it already) that his skin color has got nothing to do with the rise of the Teabaggers and Republitarians in this country . . . I might have a bridge to sell you in Gravina, Alaska.
