Since Evan Buh-Bayh is going "home" to become a lobbyist, now there is hysteria of carnage come November for Democrats. Let's be a little more realistic!
1. Evan Bayh wasn't going to win in the long run because Indiana is one of the bipolar states of the nation where rational is wrong and irrational is right. In other words, if you have a sense of rationality you would likely lose an election. He was polling well, but he would have lost simply because the Democratic caravan of wagons would abandon him over the healthcare debacle.
2. These other Democrats or Dumbocrats as I call them, would have jumped ship as well because they are letting the Angry White People Coalition AKA "TEA Party" scare them. You can win if you run a campaign based on the platform rather than rhetoric. However, most of these Dumbocrats can't even do that because they are the proverbial "wind guage" of the politcal establishment.
3. Republicans aren't going to gain many if any seats. If anything this is election year is going to be a "wake up call" to a number of complacent politicos. Those who are buying into polls are IDIOTS. The common political reality still exists, older whites are going to be the majority of those voting come November because the other demographic of voters are lazy and just as complacent as the politicos.
Now since I've said that, it's time to call out what needs to occur and can occur to as resultl
1. Black and other non-white voters needs to step it up and get out and vote. If you let older, simple-minded white voters make up your representation in Congress, state capitols, county government, or municipal governments then you deserve what you get. 2008 proved that there is power in numbers, knowledge, and awareness. The Angry White People Coalition isn't that powerful, they are just more vocal, and the media gives life to their fuckery.
2. LGBT/SGLs with common sense and logic needs to cancel out the fools and vote for progressive pragmatic politicos and not let the bitch-asses who will follow the fools by "jumping off the bridge" by force feeding legislation that doesn't stand a chance in hell of passing this year. Most politicos are paranoid this year and with jobs as scarce as they currently are, yeah they are going to be as careful as possible.
3. Fuck the Libertarians, Angry White People Coalition, and the Conservatives! They don't give a fuck about anybody but themselves and if you give that life by letting them define any candidate or agenda then you will lose. Ron Paul and his ilk are asses, and call them what they are asses! Also let's not forget that aversive racial bias will be at work, so don't fall on those silly laurels of being those doesn't exist (see Angry White People Coalition).
Those are the facts of reality with this political year we are living in, and if those who are running for office doesn't realize this then they will suffer the consequences of stupidity, paranoia, and letting others think and define you...
The discussion of social issues and happenings across the South (sometimes the nation). Along with some rants about things such as the media (radio, TV, and internet), music, etc. from a socially progressive yet politically independent perspective.

TEA Party Convention in Nashville????
After watching some of the coverage of the TEA Party Convention at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in the east Nashville community of Hertimage, I've come to the conclusion that most of those who are attendees are nuttier than a fruitcake. The coverage has shown people continue with their "Obamanation" signage to the prayer rallies where they are calling President Obama, "Satan's helper". Special as hell if you ask me because these (white) people are obviously just as lost as compasses without needles since they don't know what the hell they are talking about or saying.
The speakers at the convention includes the moron and former GOP VP candidate, Sarah Palin. However, my favorite idiot in the U.S. House, Michelle "Bach-Bachhead" Bachmann of Minnesota (Republican), who is the queen of word-vomit and idiocy along with U.S. House Rep. from suburban Brentwood in Williamson County, Marsha Blackburn, pulled out of the convention for fear of violating campaign finance rules. LMAO
The sudden change from non-profit to for-profit status of the Tea Party Nation seems to be beacon of contraversy with this convention and its organizing organization.
What's even more twisted and screwed up, that The Tennesseean newspaper in Nashville was denied media credentials to enter the convention, but the Nashville area attorney and Tea Party Nation Corp. founder and convention organizer, Judson Phillips, wouldn't even tell the newspaper why.
This is just a H.A.M. sandwich.

Is there conspiracy to destroy ACORN?
According to the current CEO of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), Bertha Lewis believes so.
However, I can see where she is coming from because the recent controversy associated with 2 conservative film documentary makers, Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe, have posted videos that would depicts themselves as a pimp and prostitute at ACORN offices in a number of cities including New York, Baltimore, Washington, DC, San Bernardino and San Diego. Giles is daughter of conservative commentator, Doug Giles, and contributing member of the BigGovernment.com, a site that peddles conservative ideology. O'Keefe is the founder and editor-in-chief of the The Centurion, a conservative magazine at Rutgers University.
Sounds like to me it "gotcha journalism" more than trying to get to bottom of the issue because these 2 clowns are 2 twenty-year-olds with nothing else better to do with themselves. Interestingly, they have only done interviews associated with this story with FOX News. Also its another form of attempt to destroy community organization amongst inner-city, lower-income people (usually people of color). Ironically, ACORN had endorsed Obama in the Democratic Presidential Primaries and General Election and now more than ever because they helped him get into office. Hmmm........
Also one worker caught in this prostitution mess said they edited the story to look like ACORN supported prostitution and tax evasion.
The relentless attacks on ACORN's members, its staff and the policies and positions we promote are unprecedented. An international entertainment conglomerate, disguising itself as a "news" agency (Fox), has expended millions, if not tens of millions of dollars, in their attempt to destroy the largest community organization of Black, Latino, poor and working families in the country. It is not coincidence that the most recent attacks have been launched just when health care reform is gaining traction. It is clear they've had these tapes for months.Now ACORN is without its own self-induced controversy associated with the proven claims of voter fraud, but according to Lewis that they were the ones that reported the fraud themselves.

Jimmy Carter said it: "Wilson's outburst is based on racism" and Tim Wise has already reiterated
LOL, former President Carter said in an interview with Brian Williams for a future special on NBC and again Tuesday at the Carter Center in Metro Atlanta said explicitly that Congressman Wilson's outburst last week during the speech before the joint session of Congress was racially based.
"Aversion to have a black person as president.”Well, you have to give it up to President Carter because he is saying what most rational and coherent individuals without presumptuous ideals about the controversy surround President Obama have been saying for awhile now. The LGBTs have been complaining, but due to the inactivity associated with the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT), Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), and federal hate crimes laws covering sexual orientation and gender identity. However, that doesn't really lie along the lines of true aversive racism rather privilege idealism and impatience.
“I think it’s unprecedented to attack a president, wishing he were dead, and equating him with animals and Adolf Hitler. That was the point that I made.”
Now, the fools associated with the "tea parties" also known as the "Taxed Enough Already" groups, they seem to focus on things that should have been talked about during the Bush administration. This will talked about right now since this past weekend on CNN Newsroom, Don Lemon interviewed Tim Wise, an anti-racist author and public speaker from originally from Nashville, spoke about how much of the Republicans and Libertarians that have been gawking about the President's "out of control" policies is based on "white racial guilt".
Interesting because I've been wondering that myself about most of this resentment even before this outburst and all that jazz. Ironically, I know of one gay Army reservist that is white and "Libertarian" that tries his damnest to ignore the foolishness of so many of the "tea parties". I mean how many signs does one need to see to know that there is something up with some white Americans in this nation with this presidency. There was little to no real controversy aside from the liberal Democrats booing Bush during joint sessions and other meetings, but it seems that these conservatives and border-line anarchistic individuals seems to be hell-bent on destroying the Obama administration because he is black more than he is a Democrat.
Clinton had dealt with the foolishness of the social conservatives and Republicans by just throwing it back at them and essentially shutting down Washington in 1996. However, Obama has to tread shallow waters of not seeming to be bias on basis of race, party, or ideology.
Boy, what a mouthful!
