Punk me once....Can't Punk me again

A group calling themselves Democrats for Dr.Griffith released an endorsement of republican candidates who they believe  "can least mess up our current situation".  In other words, the lessor of two evils.  I wonder what part of the lessor of two evils is still evil don't they understand?  But I digress.

To my democratic friends and family considering crossing over and voting for Parker Griffith because he's not Mo Brooks, Don't. Parker Griffin is playing to democrats, HOPING we will forget how he pimped and punk'd us.  Punk me once...Can't punk me again.

Vote in your own damn primary on March 13, 2012.  If a democrat votes in the republican primary they forfeit their right to vote in the democratic primary.  We don't have a dog in the gop dog fight.  It doesn't matter which man wins because they are both republicans.   Republicans  who are are against everything we stand for.

Democrats have a candidate for Congress, his name is C.L. Holley. He may not have a polished campaign style , but he is viable, intelligent, compassionate, willing, ready and able to represent the democratic wing of the democratic party.  Instead of criticizing and complaining about the way he is running his campaign and his slogan, HELP him.  Host a fundraiser, design his website, donate to his campaign,  create a blog.  Get off your Donkey's and do something! Help C.L. Holley help us.

A personal reminder to my fellow African American voters in CD-5 who call themselves independents (you know who you are), in the words of Fannie Lou Hammer, nobody is free until everybody' s free.

Speaking of democrats running as democrats then governing like a republican, is this the same Rep. Craig Ford who said he was a conservative democrat?  If so, again I say, if I wanted a conservative Governor, I would vote for a republican.  Everybody knows conservadem is code for I'm running on the democratic ticket to take advantage of the black, block vote.  

Punk me once....Can't punk me again.

Update~Are the Rattlesnakes beginning to turn on each other in Bama?

William Barnes qualified as a candidate for the democratic primary in CD-6.   Barnes represents the democratic wing of the democratic party,which is probably why he didn't have the full support of the ADP when he ran against Dick Shelby for Senate in 2010.  I'm glad he didn't let the experience sour him against running for political office again.  I admire his courage and his tenacity.    I don't live in CD-6, but if I did, Barnes would be my candidate.  Penny Bailey's  thoughts on abortion are troubling.  You  either support a woman's right to choose to have a safe, legal, abortion, or you don't.


Down here they say rattlesnakes don't commit suicide much~Agent Rupert Anderson, character played by Gene Hackman in Mississippi Burning.

Today is candidate filing deadline for Alabama primaries and the Rattlesnakes, I mean republicans are coming out in force...against each other.   Be still my Democratic heart.

Not to be out done by the three way CD-6 showdown between Scott Beason (r. racist), Spencer Bachus (r. inside trader), and Blount CountyProbate Judge David Sandridge,  the gop side show moves to the 5th district with Parker "I was a democrat until I got elected" Griffin challenging Mo"I'll do anything short of shooting them, name calling, clueless" Brooks.  It. Is. On!

Now if  Alabama republicans were smart, and I'm not saying they are, they would say pox on all their houses and not vote for any of them.  It's not like they have an agenda other than hating on President Obama because he's an African American democrat.  They are victims of their own ignorance. 

If  republican voters in CD-6 were smart, and I'm not saying they aren't, they would vote for Penny Bailey to represent them in Congress.   You are what/who you vote for.

If republican voters in CD-5 were smart, and I'm not saying they aren't, they would vote for for C.L. Holley to represent them in Congress.  Someone who will represent ALL of the citizens.

Black leaders speak out on education and persistent African American Unemployment

"Ripped from today's headlines"~Update

Oops! Ex Gooberner Haley didn't follow the law when he released rapist and murders.  In Mississippi, identities of pardon applicants must be made public.

Remember the Scott sisters of Mississippi ,who were released from a prison after serving 16 years for a petty crime, on the condition one sister donate a kidney to the other?  Well, the Scott sisters didn't get a full pardon.  "I guess if I had been a murderer, he would have pardoned me."~Gladys Scott

Today's Must Read-Discrimination in Presidential Pardons

The title of today's post is ripped from the Law and Order television series. Join me as we go inside today's headlines.

M-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i  Burning?   Ex Mississippi Governor Haley "Boss Hogs" Barbour  pardoned nearly 200 prisoners, 4 or whom are convicted killers, on his way out office.  Barbour didn't publicize the pardons, (I wonder why?) but defends them on the grounds they had good behavior while pouring drinks and serving food at the Governors Mansion.

Huh?  Convicted killers worked at the Governors mansion?  Why?  Because it's F-R-E-E labor or slavery by another name.  Barbour freed his slaves.  The only problem is, some of these slaves are also convicted killers and Barbour may have violated the states constitution. 

I thought republicans were for law and order?  Snark  It's too bad Troy Anthony Davis didn't live in Mississippi...all he wanted was a new trial.  But I digress.

This illustrates what's wrong with the Convict-Lease System  republicans use to take the country back to the days of slavery and Jim Crow.  Convicts get job training and jobs while they are incarcerated but  can't hold once they are released, because they are convicted felons with a record.  Meanwhile, there are no such job training programs  for unemployed, law abiding citizens.  Inmates  jobs and training, law abiding citizens, nothing.   What's wrong with this picture?

It should come as no surprise the majority of Mississippi' voters passed a voter ID bill in November to disenfranchise minority voters so folks like Barbour can keep getting elected.

White man fighting Obama candidacy ask black Jefferson County Judge to step aside due to racial bias.  Sweet Home Alabama...where the skies are blue and the people are bible thumping, suckers who hate President Obama in the name of the Lord.  Enough said.

A GOP Civil War is breaking out in the State of  Alabama, it's TeaPublican vs TeaPublican in Alabama's 6th Congressional district.  Y'all can bet your Donkey's it's going to get U-G-L-Y.. got popcorn?

Meanwhile, on the democratic side, C.L. Holley goes where skeered white democrats fear to go.  Tired of waiting for Alabama democratic party insiders to field a candidate to run against republican Congress Critter Mo "I'll do anything short of shooting them" Brooks, C. L. Holley stepped up to the plate to offer CD-5 DEMOCRATS (not to be confused with progressives) an alternative  in November. I admire and applaud his courage.  For those who say he can't win I say Poppycock!  If we vote for him he will win.  Yes we can fire Mo Brooks!
