Black Democratic Congressman Joins Republican Party!

Look who else feels like the Republican Party is home.


Can Artur Davis Win in Alabama?

I salute Congressman Artur Davis, the former Black Democratic Senator, who has left the Democratic Party because in his words,”wearing a Democratic label no longer matches what I know about my country and its possibilities.
On the specifics, I have regularly criticized an agenda that would punish businesses and job creators with more taxes just as they are trying to thrive again. I have taken issue with an administration that has lapsed into a bloc by bloc appeal to group grievances when the country is already too fractured: frankly, the symbolism of Barack Obama winning has not given us the substance of a united country.”

And you Progressives had better think twice before you call him an "Uncle Tom".

You mean like Democrats did with David Duke?

Didn't know about him - until he ran for sheriff.

What the hell does this have to do with the topic, aside from derailing and hijacking the thread

Actually it has a lot to do with the topic because Enemy asked why these people felt comfortable in the GOP, so clearly other people who feel comfortable in the GOP would have some value, right? Or do you want to repress these individuals from running because they are black GOP members?
