Regular readers know former Alabama Congress Critter Artur Davis ripped his drawers with me and showed his natural born ebony donkey a long time ago. I suspect my pointing out he was named the Field Negroes' House Negro for the day for voting against the Health Care Reform Act is partially responsible for my ebony donkey being booted off the front pages of Left in Alabama.
Attention Republicans, the mainstream media and other white folks!
Artur Davis has no credibility.
Artur Davis had no credibility.
Artur Davis will never have any credibility.
Stop playing the Artur Davis Card.
End of story.
Fattening Black Frogs For Corporate Snakes
A “small herd” of rightist Black politicians is seeking statewide office, further mangling Black politics in the process. In practice, this trend allows white voters “to decide which kinds of Black politicians rise to state and national prominence.” Among the latest entries is Congressman Artur Davis, running for governor of Alabama. Rep. Davis is consistently ranked among the worst members of the Congressional Black Caucus – which is the source of his white, corporate appeal.

Bad as he is, at least he hasn't signed Grover Norquist's "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" as these Alabamans did.
ALABAMA
AL-Sen Jeff Sessions (R)
AL-Sen Richard Shelby (R)
AL-01 Jo Bonner (R)
AL-02 Martha Roby (R)
AL-03 Mike Rogers (R)
AL-04 Robert Aderholt (R)
AL-05 Mo Brooks (R)
AL-06 Spencer Bachus (R)
Small consolation, I know. But those legislators who signed show that their first loyalty isn't to the voters who elected them, but rather to a man who famously quipped: "I'm not in favor of abolishing the government. I just want to shrink it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."
So Norquist wants to kill government; that makes him an anarchist. Of course, that sounds a little extreme, so he'd deny it.
It's risky to make blanket statements like "Many ideas from 12 year olds are extreme." Some are great, but that's the age when Norquist came up with his idea for the Taxpayer Protection Pledge.
Certainly sounds attractive - costs never rising. But what it really means is the governmental services will be curtailed or eliminated because the cost to provide services will continue to rise. So, the legislators who signed the pledge are serving Norquist's agenda, not the voters'.
Artur can do worse...
Wha do you call it when elected officals ignore the will of the people who elected them?
Despite what the polling pollster sat, the majority of the American people want access to quality, affordabe health care. Why wouldn't they?
>What do you call it when elected officials ignore the will of the people who elected them?
Um, bought out? Citizens United made electoral office a money game.
O, Redeye! Don't you know that "Obamacare" - properly called the "Affordable Health Care Act" - is a socialist conspiracy to take away "Merikans" (Bush 43), freedom and liberty, right?
You remember "Give me liberty or give me death!" right? Rush reminded me of it.
Ru$h explained how reducing administrative costs through having a single-payer process for health care claims (like Medicare does) would jeopardize my liberty, just like it does in the rest of the industrialized world which has better coverage and lower costs with something he calls "socialized medicine."
You ask why wouldn't Americans want to reduce costs and have better outcomes?
Hmmm....I'll have to work on that...

In my neck of the woods we call them "Sellouts", hence the topic of this post.
Citizen United made it legal to use the public air ways to misinform the uninformed, which is how the rich get richer and the rest get the shaft.
