I would never support Sharpton, but...

[Fixated]

He is the king of hard-hitting one-liners and clever jokes. I love watching him debate.

1. Great orator,

but bad history.

3. ....

That's the problem. I know that a black liberal could never win the presidency, so I wouldn't bother supporting him in the end, but aside from that, his anti-Semitic history is sickening at times.

2. Why wouldn't you vote for him?

What if he is the nominee? Would you vote for him then. Imagine the press conferences he would give. I mean whoever the WH press secretary is wouldn't have to be sheltering him from Helen Thomas.:-)

5. bad history?

bad history?? put sharpton's history up against shrub's anyday and we've got it licked. i'm really leaning 70-80% towards voting for him in the primary. he's consistently brilliant, and hits on everything i need to hear with a passion the way i like to hear it. god a debate between him and shrub would be priceless - everything would be out there and the pukes would have nowhere to hide. all i can say is sharpton - why the hell not? look waht professional politician types have gotten us...

4. That man can take everything we have screamed about at DU

for a month and put it into a sentence that brings you to your feet. He has no chance of winning BUT why the hell don't the rest of them hire him to write their speeches. I tell you, it's Al-type rhetoric we need in '04---positions and policies and arguments just bore the crap out of Americans.
