Black Democrats accused him of selecting new leaders for us, forgetting the old guard voted for Al Gore and John Kerry.<BR/><BR/>When he appointed General Colin Powell as Secretary of State and Condoleezza Rice, National Security Adviser they were labeled "Toms" or "sell outs" by Democrats. It didn't matter that both were more than qualified for the jobs. His appointments placed African Americans in non-traditional leadership roles in this nation on a higher level.<BR/><BR/>U.S. Senator Evan Bayh refused to vote in favor of Ms. Rice for Secretary of State, this appointment made her the most powerful woman/black woman in the world. This black woman speaks 7 foreign languages fluently and is more qualified than the average white candidate for the office. <BR/><BR/> Yet, Evan Bayh thinks he is qualified to be president and needs the black vote to get there. I guess he would have supported a Cynthia McKinney or Julia Carson type for SOS.<BR/><BR/>Yes my Democrat friends, the Republican Party does offer better opportunities for advancement and upward mobility. <BR/><BR/> Rather than to hand you a fish forever and make you totally dependent, they teach you how to fish and to become independent. <BR/><BR/>This is the difference between Republicans and Democrats!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159692204734806162006-10-01T03:43:00.000-05:002006-10-01T03:43:00.000-05:00To Advance Indiana<BR/><BR/>My Response to Anonymous 8:16, 11:30, 6:54:<BR/><BR/>I have over 40 years combined experience in the area of civil rights and political involvement. At age 15, I was elected President of the NAACP Youth Council, one of the largest memberships in the nation, and have served in other capacities since then, my last office was president of the women's auxiliary. <BR/><BR/>I didn't begin my interest in government and politics as an adult, I grew up in it. I am sure Wilson already has a copy of my ten page resume.<BR/><BR/> The main reason I have been attacked by Wilson and other Carson supporters during my entire time with the Democratic Party. I became a threat to "?". <BR/><BR/> Holding elected officials accountable has always been a requirement for support regardless of Party or Race.<BR/><BR/>My background is in Civil Rights. In 1999 after the May Primary Election, I chose to leave the Democratic Party because of its changes in the Party's Platform. <BR/>The Democratic Party has taken the black vote for granted and my people are beginning to abandon the Party.<BR/><BR/>The majority of voters in Center Township have always been white, not black, but the Party placed more emphasis on getting out the black vote than they did in the white community.<BR/><BR/>The Democratic Party and Labor Union have spent a great deal of money and time registering voters and getting out the vote in the black community. After the 60s Civil Rights Movement, blacks pushed for more representation within the Democratic Party because that is where the majority was at the time.<BR/><BR/>For the record. Party affiliation is only the machine that gets a candidate elected. Not much difference between a Democrat and a Republican in today’s political arena. The difference is in the Party's platform and most voters do not know what their Party really represents. <BR/><BR/>Democratic coalition over the years has included; Irish Catholics, Jews, blue collar union members, Civil Rights Organizations, pro-abortion supporters, homosexuals, abused women, and dependent welfare recipients. <BR/><BR/>The majority of voters today consider themselves Independents, voting for a person and not the Party's slate of candidates.<BR/><BR/>The purpose of an "attack dog" is to keep more qualified contenders out of the race.<BR/><BR/>Wilson "ghost employee" Allen has been well compensated for his time and efforts, before and after retirement. As you can see, he began commenting on these blogs before many of us were aware of these sites.<BR/><BR/>My message to Wilson and others, you can not stop the exodus of black voters from the Democratic Party. After 70 years of support, where are the results?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159615079239148212006-09-30T06:17:00.000-05:002006-09-30T06:17:00.000-05:00We can end all this crap fast.

Dickerson and Carson, on a stage and they can give Julia a podium to help her stand. <BR/><BR/>Eric said it at Holy Angels 103rd Community Forum Friday night, "name the time, name the place, no conditions" that will end this. <BR/><BR/>Quit hiding Julia!

Judge Reuben Hill is in a guaranteed winning slot (aint Marion County Judge elections peculiar?) So the GOP will have just one winning candidate. Just one. In a county 24% Black. Pitiful.<BR/><BR/>3. The 3 Center Township candidates were drafted by their party since nobody even filed to run in the Primary. Those are guaranteed losing races - those candidates are sacrificial lambs.<BR/><BR/>The Black Democratic candidates are too numerous to count - most will win. African-Americans know the GOP is not supportive of their interests - that's why Bush got 8% of the "Black vote".<BR/><BR/>Dickerson is running in the party of Bush, Iraq and Katrina. Such an albatross would sink even a Horning or McVeigh. He is such a loser that Republican Party is giving him little or no financial support - they've written him off. Look at the whole-hearted and massive support white candidates like Blankenbaker, Hoffmeister and McVeigh got from the GOP. Look at how Republicans support Scott and Dickerson.

I've also been critical of some of Thomas' decisions on the court, particularly in Lawrence v. Texas and Romer v. Evans. Whether I agree with them on the issues is irrelevant. You are making the same argument other Democrats are making: they deserve the racially-tinged attacks because they are black Republicans. As to Julia, she has been lauded by me in the past for expressing her support of GLBT rights as you well know. However, as I've said before, you cannot separate her actions from her words. Also, I don't speak for Ms. Tandy or Ms. Williams. I haven't met either one of them. I haven't discussed with them their views. My knowledge of them is what has been expressed by them here and elsewhere. You are quick to judge them, but I haven't heard you say anything of the sort about Sherron Franklin and Mary Moriarty-Adams--two Democratic council members who expressed extreme homophobic positions during the debate on the HRO.Gary R.

The leadership has no respect for educated blacks who are financially independent, and are not dependent on social programs for their survival.<BR/><BR/> Given the larger percentage of black votes this Party receives, African Americans should be more advanced in the 21st Century.<BR/><BR/>Elected Republicans who are African Americans - 2 Superior Court Judges, Reuben Hill and Cynthia Ayres; 1 City-County Councilor Isaac Randolph.<BR/>Numerous appointed officials on the federal and state levels of government.<BR/><BR/>Public office is not for everyone, there is more to the job than the title, knowledge of government and service to constituents.<BR/><BR/>Regardless of party affiliation, candidates have to be recruited or volunteer to seek an elective office, it is not mandatory.<BR/><BR/>Historical fact: In the 1800s the first blacks elected to serve in Congress or state legislatures were Republicans. <BR/><BR/> Over 70 years ago, it was difficult to find African Americans to run on the Democratic Party's ticket. After the Roosevelt era with its social programs, blacks began to vote Democratic. In time, there will be more black candidates on the Republican Party's future slates.<BR/><BR/>African Americans in Marion County are quietly leaving the Democratic Party. Most of them are college graduates, entrepreneurs and skilled professionals compared to the ones the Democratic Party selects for their slates.<BR/><BR/>Presently in Marion County 5 African Americans are on the ballot; Superior Court Judge Reuben Hill, Eric Dickerson, 7th District Congress, Atty.
