Sharpton for president, again?

Al Sharpton for President

It appears that Al Sharpton wants to run for president again. His main argument for a lack of good leadership in government is the issue of poverty in the nation that he feels isn't being addressed well.

JS Online states: "'Right now we're hearing a lot of media razzle dazzle,' Sharpton said. 'I'm not hearing a lot of meat, or a lot of content. I think when the meat hits the fire, we'll find out if it's just fat or if there's some real meat there.'

Sharpton also said, ""If we're talking about the urban agenda, can you tell me anybody else in the field who's representing that right now?" Oh, and he goes on to say that he's impressed with N. Carolina Senator John Edwards, who has poverty as the focused issue in his campaign.

Sharpton doesn't "see any reason not to [run]."

How about this?

Seriously. Proclaiming that something has to be done about poverty and then going over on your financial limit on personal expenditures don't mix well. Just google his name and you'll find that his track record isn't amazing in his campaigns.

He does support gay marriage, and equal rights, which is a plus. Too bad he's made racial and offensive slurs, otherwise he almost made everyone fall for that one, too.
