Carol Mosely-Braun is the biggest joke since Alan Keyes. When I say; as a black female that I am soundly insulted that SHE was the best "black candidate" we could come up with in the first real mayoral race in over 20 years that is an understatement. Let's take a quick look at Carol's travails this election cycle:
- Said she wasn't disclosing her tax returns (the only candidate to not do so) changed her mind the next day, revealed she earned $15,000 in 2008 and $0 in 2009; but has a 4.5 million dollars worth of mortgages. So you earn so little you qualify for food stamps, but you have a home in the millions. Either she is a dumb ass or a liar. I won't venture to say which.
- Tells a marginal candidate during a community forum in which the candidates are sitting on the altar, for all intents and purposes, that she doesn't know what Carol's been doing for the last 20 years because she's bee on "crack". So you calling folks crackheads now?
- Releases her sole tv ad invoking the fact that she wasn't allowed to play with her white neighbor when she was 7 years old as the impetus for not allowing patronage. HUH?
- Maintains she is in 2nd place; she is barely holding on to 3rd
I launched the ABBC campaign several weeks ago not realizing that I would have so little work to do because the idiocy of the candidate would do the damage all by itself.
I will say that Carol is proof that just because you're black, doesn't mean black folks 1) like you 2) will vote for you. If the black folks running for office would take the time to actually NOT take the black vote for granted, they would figure that out. It is my fervent hope and prayer that Carol and her hair will go softly into that good night, back to her million dollar house, avoid the muggers, and brew up some coffee at her sham company. But please Carol; leave Chicago alone; just like you've done for the last 13 years. We've been doing just fine without you.
So Chicago, vote early, vote often and vote for Anybody But Carol!!!!! *two fingers*
