In a general election, I just won't vote for an independent when there is a viable Democrat in the race. That costs elections and lives.

That being said, the DCCC's "Washington knows best," money-driven, contra-democratic manipulation of the primaries drives essential constituencies out of our party. That costs elections and lives.

joined in the assault on ACORN instead of standing up for black people fighting for black people.

The indictment is a f'ing accusation made by the Trump Justice Department AFTER it had been resolved by state officials.

I wonder why anyone would assume there was something to this? What possible reason is there?

Shaun Brown, 58, was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Norfolk on charges of wire fraud and theft of government property. The scheme lasted at least nine months in 2012, according to the indictment, and involved more than $400,000 in fraudulent reimbursements. But feel free to proceed with your claims of racism? Even if the facts don't support your claim.

with NO criminal action at the state level and became a criminal matter ONLY in 2017 under Sessions.

Of, course, that fact seems to have escaped you.

How can the state set aside federal charges?? It was related to a federal program, not a state one.
"Brown worked in 2011 and 2012 for a nonprofit called JOBS Community Outreach Development Corp. that worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program to provide meals to low-income children during school breaks. Prosecutors say that Brown and others directed employees to fill out fake forms inflating the number of meals served and would then pocket the extra funds."
Apparently the overage was caught by an audit in 2013-14.

It's similar in that sense to Medicaid, known here in Tennessee as TennCare. The state and the federal government are separate sovereigns. As such, where they have concurrent jurisdiction, such as here, both may prosecute or not. Here, Virginia looked at this and determined that it was nothing more than an administrative matter. After that was done, Sessions stepped in and went to the grand jury anyway.

Under Obama, this would have fallen under the Justice Department petit policy and because it had already been handled by in sovereign, Virginia, would have been dropped.

The accusations made against her were in essence that she was instructing poor claimants to make false statements in order to get payments that were beyond what were permitted under law. ACORN was falsely accused of doing exactly the same thing as it relates to housing. In both cases, centrist Democrats barely waited for the starting gun before running away from anything that might be used to accuse them of going easy on blacks.

The only difference here is that the DCCC apparently thinks "It's okay to throw this 'ACORN' under the bus because anything is permissible when it comes to stomping out the 'far left.'"

Big difference. i saw what you did by trying to smear me as racist for bringing it up . BS on you.

As for what you have been accused of, I have said nothing more than that you have taken the same position as many in our party did when it came to ACORN.

I'm not sure I would call that racism. What would you call it?
