Harold Ford a Diva? In New York Senate Race, That Just Might Work

Harry wanted to be the first (other than Caucasion) U.S. President until he had his wings clipped in Tennessee. He sees a chance to garner a power base in NewYork with his eyes on the White House. He will say or do anything to anyone to bring that dream to fruition. Fortunately, I believe the good people of New York will recognize a CARPETBAGGER and snake oil salesman trying to shape himself in the mold of the Senator-elect from Massachusettes, and has visions of controling the Democratic agenda like Joe Liebermann; the "Republicrat". He has already signalled his intention by the statements he is making in this early hour. New Yorkers...Send his ass packing as-soon-as you can and don't believe the hype. Ford's pledges to be INDEPENDENT are not designed with the common people of New York; his boasts are in fact the turn coat ravings of another elitist for hire whom will use opposition to the President as a stepping stone to achieve his true agenda which is to challenge for the White House in 2012 or 2016. I am a Black man, however, I am an independent who can and does make decisions on my elected leaders on based on trust, loyalty, and my belief from past actions that an individual will do the right thing; not because he or she may call themselves Black. Ford's ranting about not doing what the Majority Leader Reid says has no more bearing on being an effective Senator than you or I taking that tag off a pillow that reads "Do Not Remove". His statement is in lock step with the prevailing popular theme for now bucking against incumbents. Why has Mr. Ford stated a position that requires a intestinal fortitude (or a Pair of BA...)like getting rid of the ancient Fillibuster Rules so that the Party in the Majority can actually get something accomplished? No, that would allow the common voter like you or I to have too much power...something neither party is willing to do. A simple majority rule would leave politicians at the mercy of you and I...in other words we could vote their asses out if they don't do what we say. The Corprations would be neutered 'cause they only have 1 vote regardless of the billions they may spend on a candidate. Imagine it if you will...Corporations would have to contribute to us voting Americans. The weekend junkets, donations, gifts, meetings,etc. to working individuals rather than the few who now get elected and begin their re-election campaigns immediately threafter. How many of you have the cell number of your Congressman or Senator? So what I'm rambling but if I lied somewhere...please respond. Respond in kind New Yorkers to Harold Ford with a rebuke of his quaisi-faux Democrat/Independent banter. YOU are a Democratic state...there is a Democrat in the White House. Support him and the rest will work itself out. We don't need anymore Liebermans at the seat of decision making... We all know that he and others (ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE)are bought and paid for many times over by big business. Keep Gillibrand.

I hope everyone comes back to view theses comments. I was the FIRST person to register with the FEC in this race, even before Caroline Kennedy was on the scene. I am anxious to get more support state-wide and welcome calls from the people posting here.

If you really are disgusted with the way Washington and NY is run, then you can help me change things. I am not a career politician nor want to be. I don't just hop States looking for an open Senate seat.
