A few weeks ago, I told radio talk show host Rhonda Deniston out in San Diego that if the Republican party/Tea Party wanted to be taken more seriously in the Black community, it would target places like the Detroit, MI area. Instead of pointing to that area as an example of what happens when Liberalism [...]
The GOP continues to show that they are willing to wear the “kick me” sign on their backsides and pretend that it is high fashion. National Journal e-mailed this article to me last night.
“The RNC spent more than $340K at a semi-annual meeting in Honolulu in Jan., the latest example of the party spending lavishly [...]
Lee Hockstader of the Washington Post had this to say concerning Bob McDonnell, Republican governor of Virginia:
“What really seems to have opened the governor’s eyes was one person: Sheila Johnson. Johnson, the African-American co-founder of Black Entertainment Television, was a key backer — the key backer — of McDonnell’s campaign. Her support was so important [...]
The constant portrayal of Tea Party participants as a bunch of racists is nothing new coming from the left. I remember years ago how the left would dare Republicans to elect someone to represent their party and how it would never happen. Regardless of the reason behind it, Michael Steele was made the head of [...]
“But unlike the former community organizer now in the White House, Rogers is a staunch conservative who’s trying to spread Republican orthodoxy where it’s rarely heard: among minority groups in the inner city.
‘I am a Spanish-speaking African-American conservative who is trying to grow the party,’ he said.” (more…)
Will this appease the cyber “Yeah, but…” nitpick [...]
Of course we did. But not in the numbers Democrats hoped for.
Apparently, that party’s worst fears were confirmed last night as there is very little mention of any polling data on Black voters. This is a stark difference from our last general elections.
For me, this is very disturbing because what it shows is that there [...]

Ken Raske, president and CEO of the Greater New York Hospital Association, collected donations worth more than $152,000 for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) in September alone, according to the latest FEC reports.
Raske is an important voice in this year’s healthcare debate. His association, representing more than 300 not-for-profit and public hospitals in New [...]
The Republican party, just like the Democratic party is looking out for #1:
Themselves.
Rep. Phil Gingrey blasted the federal stimulus program before voting against it in February, predicting its chances of success were “slim and none” and that it would worsen the national debt.
But that didn’t stop the Republican from presenting an oversized check for $625,000 [...]
Now I know you have some Republican hands in this mess as well (US Republicans among lawmakers with Countrywide loans). So one party isn’t purer than the other in this mess. However, this article does capture just how series your elected officials are in dealing with Countrywide.

#Michael Steele was nothing more than a Black figurehead for the GOP (surprise, surprise)
#The GOP, like Democrats take orders from corporate interests FIRST. Catering to the people who put them there in the first place only happens during an election cycle.
GOP leaders to Michael Steele: Back off

There is a new dance that has hit political dance floors all across America. Its called “The Moderate”.
You see, the “Conservative” is not only played out, its what our parents used to do. It is as out of place as someone River dancing in the middle of a Young Jeezy concert (LOL! Imagine that for [...]

WASHINGTON — Democrats in the House Energy and Commerce Committee have taken a novel precaution to head off Republican efforts to slow action this week on a sweeping climate bill. They are hiring a speed reader.
Republicans on the committee have said they may force the reading of the entire 946-page bill — as well [...]
