Black Democrats support Steele
By S.A. Miller and Jon Ward
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Published October 31, 2006
Former Prince George's County Executive Wayne K. Curry and five fellow
black Democrats on the county council excoriated their party yesterday
and endorsed Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, a Republican, for U.S. Senate.
"The [Democratic] Party acts as though when they want our opinion,
they'll give it to us. It's not going to be like that anymore," said Mr.
Curry, who in 1994 became the county's first black executive and remains
influential in the mostly black and heavily Democratic county.
Mr. Curry and the lawmakers said Democratic leaders repeatedly have
snubbed the black community and their county, noting the lack of party
support for the Senate campaign of former National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People chief Kweisi Mfume, who lost the Democratic
primary to Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin.
The Democratic ticket lacks black candidates, they said, and candidates
from Prince George's County, which is home to more than 320,000
registered Democrats -- the most of any jurisdiction in Maryland.
"We're not puppets. We're not gullible," Mr. Curry said during a press
conference at the Infusion Tea Cafe in Largo. "This ain't the first time
we've charged up a hill."
He was joined by fellow black Democrats David Harrington of Bladensburg,
Samuel H. Dean of Bowie, Camille A. Exum of Capitol Heights, Tony Knotts
of Temple Hills and Marilyn Bland of Clinton -- all officials on the
nine-member county council.
Other black Democratic leaders endorsing Mr. Steele yesterday included
Major Riddick, former chief of staff for former Gov. Parris N.
Glendening; Ron Lipscomb, a major fundraiser and trustee of the state
party; and businessmen Clayton Duhaney and M.A. "Mike" Little.
"There's a revolution going on here," said Jerry McLaurin, a county
developer and Steele supporter who attended the announcement. "This is
going to radiate throughout the county like an explosion."



Steele is Bush's man.

Probably. Nobody has elevated more blacks and minorities to positions of
power than George W. Bush.
