That kind of concept requires the ability to think.

And just for the record and to be very clear — just as Jane Kidd was my first Georgia candidate, mentor, and idol when I first ran her State Senate campaign, helped elect her as Chair, and while I served her at the DPG, she today still remains a political hero, mentor and idol for me and I am in very close contact with her and her staff helping turn Georgia blue in each and every way we can. Jane Kidd is a visionary, one of the most genuine politicians I’ve ever met or worked for, and someone that I fully believe is the only person who should be in the position of Chair of the DPG right now and who I believe will be a leader in Georgia politics for years to come (and to the benefit of Georgia).

But thanks for your comment, since we don’t even know each other I take that as jealousy or whatever, but that’s fine, the important thing is winning in November…back to work…Take Back Georgia!

Do you really want someone with Institutional Knowledge of the DPG around? Just saying that change might be good

In your research did you find out who all of the applicants were for positions that you’re disputing?

Did the party hire a white guy with a middle school education over a Harvard educated black guy…?

It seems to me that as Democrats we’d want our state party to hire the best available person for the job and not set a policy saying that of our staff 50% must be women, 30% must be black, 20% must be latino, 5% must be Asian… etc…

You claim “white-washing” but yet you give us no proof that either minority employees were fired because they’re minority or that applicants were hired because they’re white.

It may come as a shock to you, but the Democratic Party of Georgia is working to rebuild after a couple of disasters in elections… so it’s easy to see why they’d have the combination of more staff and less money than the GOP… it’s currently harder for a Democrat to win over votes in Georgia than it is for a Republican.

Now instead of tearing down the party, I’ll be working to win in November.

The party is not held accountable at the ballot by teams of lemmings, so it does as it pleases professing to be the progressive party of “the people” while in reality being rather elitist.

Its OK to leave the plantation Andre…..you could not do much worse…SFG

It’s not so much an instance of “character-building” as much as an instance of “character-demonstration.”

You’re right, you’re clearly more courageous than me. I mean posting on a blog is really a character building experience.

Back to the “subject matter,” what about Jane Kidd? Does she not count as a minority (woman) at the DPG?

Didn’t you work for the DPG? Why did you leave?

Didn’t you used to work at the DPG? Why did you leave?

It takes a lot of guts to sit behind a computer screen and hurl insults while using a pseudonym that prevents you from ever being held accountable for your words.

You may believe that I “whined and whined”, but I submit to you that if you go back and read what I wrote, I congratulated Tondee’s Tavern on being credentialed.

I did not whine.

Never did I say or imply that I was upset over Tondee’s Tavern being awarded DNCC blogger credentials. What I did do, however, is echo the sentiments of many black bloggers across the nation who questioned the diversity of the DNCC’s state blogger corps.

Now GAR, I could follow you down that road of petty insults but I won’t.

What I will do is strongly encourage you to refrain from the personal attacks and limit your comments to the subject matter of this blog entry.

I’d tell you to go pretend to be a journalist at the capitol (“ooo look at me! I’m a credentialed blogger!), but they’re not in session. So please just stop the whining.

By the way, how’s that Vernon blog you designed going? HAHAHAHAHA

There was no whining on my part. I followed the application process as outlined by the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) and was previously informed that my site would be considered for the general blogger pool if it was not credentialed as part of the state blogger corps.

I should also point out that I was not the only black blogger who questioned the diversity of the credentialed blogs by the DNCC. In fact, Francis L. Holland of the Francis L. Holland blog led the charge on the issue.
