Are you sure that it was 36 different African-Americans? Are you sure that it wasn't just Alan Keyes, J.C. Watts, and Armstrong Williams wearing different clothes and sitting in different areas of the convention floor?earendel wrote:If we're speaking of telling images, I submit any of the crowd shots that have been shown during the coverage. Of the approximately 2400 delegates seated on the convention floor only 36 are African-American.
POLITICAL: IMO, the most telling image of the RNC

I guess, what's your point.
Most Democrats don't foster the middle class so...
I'm not sure which "he" you mean; I assume you mean Sen. McCain. And I acknowledged his brief mention of the economy in his speech.
But my point is very direct: Not a single person at the RNC this week, Sen. McCain included, used the words "middle class". That's all. "You're hurting, and I'm cutting taxes," yes. "I'm cutting taxes for the middle class," no. It makes me wonder who exactly will be benefitting from his tax cuts, is all. If it's another "let's cut taxes for those making more than $250,000, and hope it trickles down to the 99% of Americans who don't", then thanks but no thanks.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
