Democrats are innocent, not until proven guilty, but until they admit they are guilty!

And isn't it just downright insulting to black voters, to imply that they don't care about corruption?

Louisiana might be getting a little smarter.  They elected a Republican governor (Bobby Jindal) who has done good things for their state, and now they elect another Republican (Cao.)  Maybe there IS hope for this country's future.  Small steps, but very worthwhile steps.

"If we conservatives moved to those seven non-existent States, the government couldn’t find us and tax us to death!" 

This is an historic first, just like the Obama election, and the MSM will not report it (did you see, hear, about it, anywhere but here), because he is a Republican. Once again, the press has failed to perform it's duty. They fail to point out that 'African Americans' clearly vote strictly along racial lines, when there is a black democrat running. A failure, just like schools, government, unions, etc., etc..

Its gerrymandered and if whites or "not black" start winning it regularly, it will be redistricted. Sucks doesn't it?

The article failed to mention there were only 35 people at Jefferson's party last night, while hundreds at Cao's.
Its a pretty good sign that people voted with their feet yesterday. I would say most people at Jefferson's party were family members, but its hard to find a Jefferson family member that isn't currently incarcerated.

You're right Jack.  A bunch of rednecks.  People just don't understand that blacks cannot be racist because they've never had the power, doncha know?  The Veet Namese on the other hand are just a bunch of houseboys left over from sucking up to their colonialist white masters, instead of embracing the true liberators from the north. 

Retch, hurl!  Enough of that.  Here is a little bit of unpublicized information regarding Republicans and racism:

  Features of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, scroll about 2/3 of the way down the page to the section entitled, "From Filibuster to Cloture".
The Republican Party was not so badly split as the Democrats by the civil rights issue. Only one Republican senator participated in the filibuster against the bill. In fact, since 1933, Republicans had a more positive record on civil rights than the Democrats. In the twenty-six major civil rights votes since 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 % of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 % of the votes....
Almost all of these uncommitted senators were conservative Republicans from rural states without racial difficulties. Their constituents opposed the legislation because it involved expanded federal powers.

   Conservatives Can Be Proud of Their Civil Rights Record
Only a handful of Republicans opposed the civil-rights bill. The most prominent among them was Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, who became the party's presidential candidate in 1964. Interestingly, Goldwater had always been a strong supporter of racial equality and supported the Eisenhower civil-rights bills of 1957 and 1960 that strengthened voting rights for African Americans.  As Lee Edwards noted in The Conservative Revolution: "As chief of staff of the Arizona National Guard he [Goldwater] had pushed for desegregation of the guard two years before President Truman desegregated the U.S. armed forces."  Goldwater stated that workforce discrimination was "morally wrong," but worried that in the future the federal government might "require people to discriminate on the basis of color or race or religion"</b> and, thus, in the end, opposed the bill...To ensure that the bill would not be misinterpreted to promote racial and gender preferences, the pro-civil forces added an amendment to Title VII, Section 703 (j) that stated, "Nothing contained in this title shall be interpreted to require any employer…to grant preferential treatment to any individual or any group because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin…on account of an imbalance which may exist…with respect to the total number or percentage of persons of any race, color, religion, or sex, or national origin…in comparison with the total number or percentage of persons…in any community…or in any available work force…."

By the end of the debate more than 40 members of Congress denounced racial and gender preferences, and no one spoke in favor of them. Opposition to preferences was voiced by liberals including: George McGovern (D, S.D.), Edmund Muskie (D, Md.), Adam Clayton Powell (D, N.Y.), and John Lindsay (R, N.Y.), as well as conservatives including: Everett Dirksen (R. Il.), Gordon Allot (R, Co.), Frank Carlson (R, Kan.), and James Bromwell (R, Iowa).

Alas, in the decades since the passage of the civil-rights bill, judicial activism, and bureaucratic rulemaking have violated the clear intent of the Congress in prohibiting racial and gender preferences.

And, why "Black people cannot be racist" :

I get impatient with people who make the argument in those terms, terms that seem, frankly, calibrated to produce more confrontation than insight. Most people who hear the point framed in that way are, understandably, unable to get past those first inflammatory words: "Blacks can't be racist."

So let's frame it another way. Let's allow that black folks can, indeed, be racist. Or prejudiced, intolerant, biased, bigoted or any other word that floats your boat. Black people are, after all, members of the human race and, as such, are heir to all the idiocy by which human beings are beset.

But with that established, let's also say this: It's an affront to common sense to suggest there is equivalence between black-on-white bigotry and its opposite...

...

Put it like this: If given the option of going through life as a white man suffering the effects of black racism or the reverse, I know which one I'd choose.

I bet every one of my correspondents does, too.

Well, not all.  Thomas Sowell, the great intellectual giant, wrote this:

One of the other huge handicaps that black students face is the attitude that trying to learn is "acting white." Self-destructive as this notion may be, it is a logical corollary of the social vision that says whitey is out to get you and it doesn't matter how much you know or how hard you try. Which party panders to this victimhood vision? Which party cuddles up with race hustlers like Al Sharpton, who promote this paranoid tribalism?

The arrogant indicted snake Bill Jefferson got a (media-Party) pass plus money from the "Party of NO Ethics"...
let's hear the biased lib-media cry about this...boo hoo, not enough busses with ballots showed.

Always remember enablers Pelosi and the democrat Party...imagine is IF any Republican had "cold cash" in his freezer and harassed cops to take him to his house in a hurricane aftermath.

This double standard will (maybe) end someday BUT the democrat Party is not going to have any standards to help...they are the Party of modern liberalism (aka secular socialism). 

Yet another case (with Stevens) that only Term Limits can reduce the royal thievery by congress...notice, over the decades, its ALWAYS those with over 12 years in the royal bubble that get arrogant enough to start robbing us.   its not a coincidence. My kingdom for 12 year congressional limits and NO consultant work for 5 years after you leave. Burst that bubble!

We got their crime, too, unfortunately. Chronicle won't report that, but crime's skyrocketed since September 2005...I wonder why?

Do you really think the MSM is going to report anything about the ultimate result of cold cash's legal troubles?

Chris...

I pray to God that the NYT's does not take you up on this brilliant idea!
