All About Race...
Have you all been paying attention to the latest squabble in Congress. It seems that there is in-fighting amongst the good folks who call themselves democrats. William Jefferson (D-Louisiana) is under investigation for fraud and bribery charges. A couple of weeks ago the FBI raided Jefferson's home and uncovered vital evidence that may aid in the future indictment of this congressman. Hey folks, the guy is from Louisiana, what do you expect from politicians from Louisiana? Your going to have widespread corruption with it's representatives.
Anyway it seems that the in-fighting in the democratic party is among the Congressional Black Caucus and its white colleagues, specifically "want to be house leader," Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi has called for the removal of Jefferson of his position on the House and Means Committee. The democrats are seeking to finally gain control of both houses this November, is trying to paint the republicans as the party of corruption, citing most noteabley former congressman out of San Diego, "Duke" Cunningham who has plead guilty to fraud. Cunningham's conviction and other perceived acts of corruption from the Bush administration to FEMA and high gas prices is a hopeful lottery ticket the democrats are dying to cash in and any perceived corruption on their side of the aisle, changes the numbers on their lottery ticket. And this is where the problem lays, the democrats (whites) sent a letter to the Congressional Black Caucus, inquiring as to its "feelings" of having Jefferson step down from his committee position. At first the CBC had no problem, but something happened that changed their mind. Theres no way to explain it or illustrate this except to say this. We all have heard some folk say this, "My family and I ain't close, we don't need to call each other all the time and we can go long periods of time without seeing each other, but oh buddy!! let something happen." You see that saying implies that although the family ain't close, in times of trouble and something going down, the family comes together. This is exactly what happened within the democratic party. The white democrats are trying to mess with Jefferson in getting him to resign his position on his committee. Jefferson hearing this, went to his folk, his family, the CBC and told them that he was in trouble. The family (CBC) came together and immediatly threw down the race card and planted it directly on the forehead of Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi, a liberal democrat, has now been branded a racist because she is going after a black congressmen suspected of wrongdoing.
White democrats looking to throw Jefferson under the bus is now looking for a bus of their own to throw themselves under. And if they lose seats in November....
They might want to keep the same bus around.
