Republican convention

[lynbrown]

I have watched speeches from both conventions and was struck by how few African American faces showed in the Republican audience. In fact, i saw only one, yet the Democrats looked like half and half. Why is this?

The Republicans tend towards conservatism and appeal to the wealthy, whereas the Democrats tend towards liberalism and appeal to less priviledged groups such as black people.

Dear Oh-No-NoKnow: Let's keep drink-inspired conversations for Chatterbank, huh?

Jock - what exactly does chooochoochoo mean?

[JockSporran]

Oh-no-noknow was referring to a silly post I put on Chatterbank. It was late at night, I was pleasantly ******, so I put a silly post on Chatterbank, saying I am turning into a train. It got funny, friendly responses in the right spirit. But Oh-no-noknow began to follow me around the site and pester me. When I asked serious questions, or gave serious answers, there he would be with his 'choo choo' reminder, trying to embarrass me I suppose. I never replied to him, just ignored him till he gave up.

The deleted word means drunk and rhymes with missed.

Republicans ARE more conservative and tend to have more sense than Democrats. Dems are way too liberal for their own good....this appeals to the African Americans as they tend to be less wealthy as a whole and receive much more government hand outs.
