Thats the liberal mentality right there. Someone has an "out"...a way to better themselves, learn discipline, serve their fellow citizens, and its "bad", "pathetic", leads you to being "stuck" as the Democratic candidate for President John Kerry, who served HIMSELF said.
Liberals WANT people to be kept down or subscribe to their way and ONLY their way for their handout, usually at the teet that THEY decide is the one to be fed from. A black man who doesnt go through an Affirmative Action program, thats an "Uncle Tom", a woman who makes it to a CEO position or runs for higher office but doesnt march lockstep with the liberal feminist agenda? Outcast. A Republican homosexual? Cast aside.
