"In massive numbers we still can't go and pull that Republican lever, but we can still stay home." ,/i>

You want to know why? Because if traditionally democrat supporting African-Americans went to the polls and pulled the Republican lever, that would mean they had to admit that all along they were duped by the RATs for 40 years. I'm not blaming them its only human nature to not want to admit you were wrong. But at some point, they have to suck it up and send a message that they want their independence and support true American values, not socialistic pandering.

I dont know why all this reminds me of this quotation...

Sir Alex Fraser Tytler (1742-1813).
Scottish jurist and historian:

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship."
