[A Little Weird]

1. That's great to hear

I'm glad she drew a good crowd in Campbell County; northern Kentucky is very republican.

2. Win or loose Grimes seems to campaign hard regardless of the polls favoring McConnell

3. i was there

and i really believe it was more then that. one thing i was disappointed in was the minorities. NKU ( where she spoke) is maybe 20 minutes from newport and covington ky which have the largest minority population in northern ky. even their elected state senator, a very good dem and black man named arnold simpson spoke. I saw maybe 5 black people? and i saw no hispanics at all. they may have been there, but i didnt see them

4. Maybe they are mad at her for not saying she voted for the President and as for

The Hispanics remember that ad on Illegal immigrants she put out last week and a half it was disgusting both moves on her part were VERY STUPID!! and may cost her the AA and Hispanics to come out for her

7. Yep. We are tired of this president being disrespected by white Democrats. Frankly, we're sick of it

Thanks for this.

8. "We are tired of this president being disrespected by white Democrats"

Are you also tired of this president being disrespected by black Democrats?

9. In fact, we in the black community often refer to these charlatans as coons or

Uncle Toms! So, yes! And the whites who exploit them by parading them in front of black faces to prove a point are no better than the conservatives who exploit them.

There's a difference between having an honest difference of opinion or disagreement with the president on his policy decisions and selling your own people and party out!

You do know the difference, I hope!

Throwing Tavis and Cornel in my face has been a tactic used by a lot of white liberals and conservatives for awhile, and it's disgusting! We're very familiar with this game, though, so don't worry.

10. You criticized Grimes, implying she "disrespected" the President

all because she wouldn't reveal how she voted.

Well here's a clue to the clueless...we vote in secret for a reason. It's nobody's business how she voted, not mine, not yours, not Mitch McConnell's. It's disrespectful to her to imply otherwise.

As far as what you find disgusting, your response is noted as the desperate diversion that it is.

11. I think she did disrespect the president. Absolutely. I didn't imply. I asserted it!

12. Emerson has a quote that applies here very well...

“Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

13. Honestly, I don't give a fuck about Emerson right now. I care about what's

going on with my country right now. I'm terrified and very disgusted with the direction of this country and the general apathy of the populace.
