I love sharpton - he's a smart guy with some great (somewhat impractical) ideas!

Al Sharpton rocks! He may be a little wacky but his voice has been important in putting some issues out in the media that wouldn't have seen the light of day by any of the real politicians.
amen, brother al.

haa haaaaaaaa
- Mimio0
What issues are those?
- JazX0
personal issues I would think pushing his own agenda. Kinda' like the honourable Reverend Jesse Jackson. ;)
- monkeyshine0
how he speaks about class issues is what I most like. He doesn't talk around it like Edwards...the "I understand poor people because that's where I came from" speak. Also appreciate that he applauded the Mass. court for its decision on gay marriage. It's refreshing to hear someone up on the debate stage just saying it like it is instead of worrying how they say something. That's what I mean.
- Mimio0
That's because he has no real prospect of becoming president. He doesn't represent any voter interests either. He hopes to just appeal to people's common sense.
- monkeyshine0
true, mimio...and that's why I think his voice is important. He does have a following (small though it may be) and didn't he win South Carolina?? or did I hallucinate that?
- JazX0
yeah at least he is true to himself and hasn't been busted like Jesse has. JJ is a poor example of a good African-American leader and he's friends with Fidel Castro whom everyday Cubans hate.
- Mimio0
Yeah, you were hallucinating. HE did alright in DC though.

everyday cubans do not hate castro. only the cuban-americans do, but they're ousted bougeouise who got kicked off the island and would rather see their people starve than let castro live.
- JazX0
yeah that's true, but those that love him are believing in lies, because your average Cuban is poorer than your average Southern African. (x_x)
- kpl0
Cuba is under US economic sanctions. S.Africa is not.
And Cuba has universal health care...which means Cubans don't need as much income.

I like Al in his present incarnation
