It's really nice to read something good in the local rag for a change.

The Blacks and the dems: symbiosis
Or a true case of total psychosis?
What is the allure
That makes the black vote so pure
For the dems? Voter fraud or hypnosis?

[Gabz]

Not sure what you are talking about..........

[tioga]

Then again, symbiotics are merely liberal socialists in Washington......
