Black Democrats support Steele

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.

Good ole liberal Harry - He missed the point again, or rather concurred
in it by his lack of an intelligent response.

And some of his best friends are gay. He is quite the liberal these
days. I'm not sure why Harry is so mad at him ;-)

Good point! And you forgot about the increased social spending under Bush.
