Jobs, Education and Justice~Updated

South Carolina democratic senate nominee Alvin Greene said he will focus on jobs, education in justice in a live radio interview with Armstrong Williams on XM 169 The Power today. Sounds like a plan to me. I wonder why it doesn't sound like a plan to the South Carolina democratic party?

Seriously, once I focused on what Alvin Greene said and not how he said it,  his message begin to resonate with me. After listening to the mainstream media, and reading all kinds of stuff about him in the blogosphere ,I was convinced he was a republican plant, but after listening to him today I found him to be sincere if not articulate.
Here is a brief recap of what Alvin Greene said on Armstrong Williams show today.

Mr. Greene said he paid the $10,000 filing fee with money he saved from money he earned in the military.

Mr. Greene said his attorney was handling the obscenity allegations and we are innocent until proven guilty in America.

Mr. Greene said he was a democrat and he was an Obama supporter.

Mr. Greene said he decided to run for the Senate because he saw the country going down the tubes and he wanted to help get it back on track.

Mr. Greene said jobs could be created with transportation jobs that ended after 911.

Mr. Greene said if he were a member of Congress he would have voted for health care reform because it provides all Americans with insurance.

Mr. Greene said he lives with his 81 year old father who is a life long democrat.

Mr. Greene said people voted for him because they could identify with him and his message.

Mr. Greene said he was discharged from the military honorably.

Maybe instead of laughing at Alvin Greene we should support Alvin Greene like RiPPa said over at the Field Negro

If Alvin Greene was a white unemployed vet and he won. There wouldn't be any media scrutiny. Instead, he would be heralded as a hero. He would have already had a book deal, a job on Fox, and a front seat on the Tea Party Express.

What Constructive Feedback said;

What you need to do is, Filled Negro, is what Rachel Maddow has been doing - CONVINCE THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA that they are VOTING AGAINST THEIR BEST INTERESTS when they VOTE FOR DeMint - the evil Republicans. Get those racist Conservative whites in SC to realize that they have more in common with Trapped In South Carolina than they do with the elites at Goldman Sacs.

And what fodder said;

The whole tone of your coverage smacks of a sort of political elitism that says that only party-approved people with large organizations are allowed to run for public office, and it doesn't flatter you.

I understand that he's running for a very high office, but the last I looked there weren't any restrictions on who can run other than those in the Constitution and even those don't cover how well-known you are, your education level or how old your bank account is.

I'm disappointed in the democratic party's handling of this,but hey, this is the democratic party we have instead of the democratic party I wish we had. As for me, I'm not going to rush to judgement, I'm going to keep an open mind regarding Alvin Greene. So far he sounds like my kind of democrat.
