The Republicans have refused to debate issues important to black and latino/hispanic voters. Yes, they have refused other debates. But these two debates are the only I can think of that spoke to issues specifically concerning blacks or latinos. Minorities are union members, people of faith, teachers, law encforcement, and members of all of the groups and portions of society whos votes are sought and candidates make a point to address. But being a minority brings about issues that white america simply does not face on a daily basis, and rarely address.
Now, I am a independant. But based simply on the refusal of all of the front runners in the refusing the invitiation to join this debate, I will be voting Democratic for the presidental race in 2008.
Now, they are playing politics and just as full of crap sometimes as the republicans. But at least they had the decency and intelligence to show up, and at least pretend to care.
