No Shows Once Again

"if they don't have the cahones to attend a forum to address African Americna voters, how can they say they have the cahones to stand up to the Islamofacists?"

Our Republican Presidential candidates have once again opted not to participate in a debate or forum designed to address African American and Latino voters. Apparently, they have other more important commitments. The same candidates other than Tom Tancredo could not find time to address the national NAACP meeting recently in Detroit.

Increasingly, the Republican candidates are caught in a shrinking echo chamber. They must all appeal to the conservative wing of the party because these are committed voteres who are deciding factor in any of the primaries. This hard-core voting bloc still believe we can actually win in Iraq, we can build a wall long and high enough to protect against illegal Mexicans from flooding into the USA and Terry Shiavo can still play a damn good game of chess! It's parallel universe that promulgates a pathological fear of the other, a warped version of the United States in the 50s, and a need to use military force whenever and whereever we can.

The candidates rather be fund raising, getting their nose hairs trimmed, or looking for George Soros in the bushes that take the time to participate in a voters forum dedicated to black and latino issues. Let's all remember their lack of interest when the real votes count next November!
