When I lived in D.C., the pastor of my neighborhood Methodist church was the coolest sister who ever stepped into a pulpit. On one Sunday morning, she said that she saw a rainbow flag on a bumper sticker and on the other side of the bumper was another sticker that read “Father, protect us from [...]

Democrats’ Santorum Dilemma
Posted in politics, tagged Kos, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, Santorum on February 16, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
The word “Santorum” doesn’t appear in my local newspaper this morning but presidential candidate Rick Santorum could be leader of the free world or should I say the less free world. While Gingrich and Romney are presidential material, “President Sanatorium” scares the daylights out of me because he is small-minded in my opinion. Santorum has been [...]
Belichick, Newt and Obama: Let Them Score
Posted in politics, tagged Belichick, democrats, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Super Bowl on February 6, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I can’t stand Bill Belichick but must admit that he was smart to tell his Patriots defenders to allow the Giants’ Ahmad Bradshaw to score a touchdown in the last few minutes of the Super Bowl. Belichick did the calculations and knew he wanted the ball back in Tom Brady’s hands. The decision, which [...]
Democrats for Newt Gingrich….Really
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, Michelle Obama, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans on January 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I am voting for President Obama in November and Newt Gingrich in March. Obama supporters in conservative states with open primaries should know that giving the president Newt as a target is as important as their general election vote. Every Mitt Romney associated super PAC T.V. ad regarding Newt’s negatives actually reinforces my contentions. The [...]
Clarence Thomas: Good Brother
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, Clarence Thomas, Conservatives, Georgia, Obama, sanford bishop, savannah, Sowell on January 23, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I just finished reading Clarence Thomas: My Grandfather’s Son and now feel that Justice Thomas could be the most misunderstood brother in America. Grandfather Myers Anderson’s story could have been the story of any southern striving Black man before 1970 and reading the parts of this book about him was like reading about my father’s [...]
That S__ Crazy: Huntsman, Gingrich, Bishop, Romney
Posted in politics, tagged Jay Z, Jon Huntsman, newt, Newt Gingrich, Obama, rap, sanford bishop on January 17, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Kanye West saying ”That S__ Crazy” on that song with Jay Z is one cool rap lyric. But, the line should apply to some political matters as well. Jon Huntsman: The GOP had an opportunity to select this decent conservative as their nominee but he left the race while polling in the single digits. Huntsman could have easily [...]
Economy Recovery and Working at McDonald’s
Posted in politics, tagged bill cosby, jobs, Mcdonalds, Obama, work on December 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
My homie Candy passed yesterday and I think he might have had a bigger influence on the community than most American presidents. Candy started working at McDonald’s in high school and moved up to manager before making a lateral move to a kids pizza chain. He hired a ton of local people and started them on [...]
2012 Political Season: Magic Wand and Understanding
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, GOP, hip hop, Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, sanford bishop, tea party on December 27, 2011 | 3 Comments »
If I could wave a magic wand on New Year’s Eve, the notations I would place in southern voters’ minds as we enter the election year would involve understanding. Kandi from the Real Housewives of Atlanta was in a hip hop group with T.I.’s lady Tiny back in the day and they had a hit called [...]
Genesis 4:15: Herman Cain, Jon Huntsman and Charlie Ward
Posted in politics, tagged Herman Cain, Huntsman, moderates, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans on November 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »
My thoughts today turn to Genesis 4:15, the original Cain, Herman Cain, Jon Huntsman and surprisingly Charlie Ward, Jr. From Sunday School, we remember that Cain killed his brother Abel and we joked “what did Eve do after Abel died…she raised Cain.” Seriously, I asked the Sunday school teacher (a high school student) “who was [...]
Rush Limbaugh’s 2008 “Support Hillary” Plan Could Help Obama 2012
Posted in politics, tagged Obama, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Hillary Clinton, Doug Banks, Tom Joyner, Jon Huntsman, Michael Baisden on November 18, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Did Rush Limbaugh create the operational plan in 2008 for Obama/Biden primary success in 2012? At the first public event for the unlikelyalliesproject.com, someone pointed out that Limbaugh created and pushed a national strategy which called for Republican crossover voting. The plan was for conservatives to vote for Hillary Clinton in open primary states and [...]
Michael Steele on Jon Huntsman and Open Primaries
Posted in politics, tagged Herman Cain, Huntsman, Michael Steele, Obama on November 17, 2011 | 5 Comments »
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Michael Steele stated that the majority of GOP primaries are open primaries. Jon Huntsman and Herman Cain aren’t exploring Democrats as a vast pool of curious voters. Polls indicate that Huntsman is the Republican who most non-Republicans actually would consider in the general election. (Watch Steele on this video link from the 1:00 [...]
Open Letter: Regarding Southern Democrats and All Presidential Campaigns
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, GOP, Herman Cain, Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Rick Perry on November 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If the GOP presidential primary process continues deep into the winter, all candidates will benefit in some way (including President Obama.) We should pause to think about Tim Pawlenty and Mitch Daniels—good guys that most voters never got to know as presidential candidates because they exited too early. Those exits should be a lesson for [...]
Presidential Candidates: Rebranded
Posted in politics, tagged Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Obama on November 3, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
When did branding become so important in politics? A brand, as defined by the American Marketing Association, is a name, term, sign, symbol or design or combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of others sellers. It is about [...]
Obama vs. Cain, the Black Women with White Men List and Other Insults
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Bill Clinton, Black college, Black women, Blacks, Congress, Fox News, Georgia, GOP, Herman Cain, hip hop, Michelle Obama, Obama, youth on November 2, 2011 | 1 Comment »
People get and give insults in the South all day every day. If you have thin skin, you should move. These insults come to mind. The Michael Basiden Show’s list “8 Reasons Black Women Should Date White Men: First, Black Women should date whoever makes them happy and treats them well. But, the list from Basiden’s [...]
Red State Democrats and Hillary’s PUMAs: Inconsequential or Potential Game-changers
Posted in politics, tagged Cain, Conservatives, democrats, Herman Cain, hillary, Huntsman, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Rick Perry on October 25, 2011 | 1 Comment »
To hear experts talk, the next presidential election will be decided in a few swing states. Democrats in red states must sit back, donate and watch. The only say many moderates have during the process is the primary elections. President Obama will be the Democrat nominee but should Dems hedge our bets by voting in [...]
Politics and Football’s Veer Option Offense
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, football, Herman Cain, Hershel Walker, hillary, J.C. Watts, Newt Gingrich, Obama on October 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Presidential politics puts college football’s option offense in my mind. Mixing metaphors is risk as we remember Obama/Palin with lipstick on a pig and more recently Herman Cain’s 999 with apples and oranges. Those other candidates at the Western debate knew full well what he was saying. State sales tax will still be there anyway [...]
Double Dog Dare: Primary Vote for Herman Cain
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, Herman Cain, Isakson, Mitt Romney, moderates, Newt Gingrich, Obama on October 17, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Herman Cain’s presidential campaign has created a fascinating scenario for southern voters. Since folks are digging his simple, straight-forward style, I will break it down straight, no chaser. Romney vs. Obama: The White House is prepping for Romney because he is the candidate, as a former moderate, who would be most attractive to centrist voters. [...]
Cain/Huntsman 2012?
Posted in politics, tagged Blacks, Herman Cain, Huntsman, Michelle Obama, Obama on October 8, 2011 | 2 Comments »
When looking at presidential possibilities, two questions should come to a voter’s mind: who do you want to be president and who ensures that the other team’s guy isn’t president. As a centrist Democrat, I want Obama and if someone from the other side became president with a snap of my fingers, it would be [...]
Uncle Sam and Rev. Wright
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Conservatives, Herman Cain, Michelle Obama, Obama, youth on September 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
For me, being an uncle is an important role and we should all know our roles. Avuncular is an adjective that means “of or pertaining to an uncle.” Uncles and aunts serve as part-time parents like the Parents Reserves—one weekend a month and two weeks per year. A kid may hangout with good old uncle [...]
Congressional Map: Rep. Bishop and Rep. Austin Scott safe at home
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Conservatives, democrats, Obama, republicans, sanford bishop on August 23, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Georgia’s proposed congressional map is out and I feel just fine. President Obama once said don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. I would have liked my hometown to remain in Rep. Sanford Bishop’s district but we took one for the team. Since my county is GOP-dominated, it’s better for Bishop that we bounce into [...]
