After four years of a Democrat administration, we are in danger of collapse as the bastion of democracy. Our national debt has placed this country in danger of insolvency.

I have questions. Why would 97 percent of blacks in this country vote for the party that has put us in such jeopardy by its reckless tax-and-spend policy? Is it because patriotism is dead, or have we become so lazy that we are content to have the government take care of us for all of our lives?

Shame on the Democratic Party and this administration for asking the American public to give them four more years after such a dismal record. Shame, shame, shame on those who would allow this country to fall into an abyss because of apathy.
