Social Network of African American Conservatives & Moderates

A liberal rainbow coalition charge conservative calls for secession from the union as " racist " in the wake of Obama's re-election victory.
Comment by Tothian on November 14, 2012 at 11:21pm It would be unfortunate for any states to have to succeed. Especially any of the conservative states which could help add some electoral votes for potential Republican Presidential Nominee Chris Christie against potential Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.
It's weird how in the era of the first Civil War and even in to the Reconstruction Era, all the southern states voted Democratic, all of the Northern states voted Republican. There was even a clear line, too. Nowadays it's all reversed. The northern states vote Democratic while the southern states vote Republican.
It was originally that the Republicans favored black's rights. While now it's appearing to be the Democrats. It's widely known but little regarded fact that Lincoln the first Republican President freed the slaves. Or how Martin Luther King Jr. (who didn't just seek black power, but rather that man be judged not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character) was also a Republican. Of course got to give credit to Democrat JFK for his role with civil rights groups in regards to racial desegregation.
Also I hope Allen West runs again in 2014 and wins again. It happens often when ever Congressmen lose their re-election bids to a 2nd two year term. Even happened with Bill Clinton at a time when Arkansas' Governors terms were 2 years instead of 4. (He won in a two-year term in 1978, lost in 1980, won again in 1982, 1984, won a four-year term in 1986, 1990), also former Gov. Ted Strickland of Ohio when he lost a re-election bid for Congress in like the 90's. And Alan Grayson had a weird win/loss thing in the U.S. Congress in Florida. He lost in 2006, won in 2008, lost in 2010, won in 2012. It could also help to run in a more Conservative/Tea Party favoring district. They don't even have to live in the Congressional district that they run in. They just have to have residence in that state. U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich from Ohio (also sough Dem Nod for Prez in '04 and '08) lost a renomination bid against another fellow incumbent Congressman in 2012 due to redistricting, and weirdly enough considered running for re-election in another state entirely - Washington (state). He most likely would've had to have residence there, which I think he did but not sure? Anyway, he decided not to, and instead just chose to retire from Congress entirely.
Nadra Enzi, would you still consider running for Congress in 2014?
