District Voting is about Power and RaceDistrict voting is about the power of the Democratic party to gain some minimum amount of control over Fayette County. True about 13% of Fayette is black but the fact is that about 90% of those blacks will be likely to vote Democrats into office consistently. The Republicans have run many black candidates over the last many years, and many have done very well-in the County as a whole, but have failed miserably in the northern section of the County. Why? because that section is primarily black ergo Democrats. Mayor Brown is the Mayor of Peachtree City, which supposedly means he is supposed to be focused on our issues. Why would he put himself into an issue like District Wide voting? Because he is a Democrat and he hopes to one day run for some higher office with the support of a broad section of our County? Or he is one of those wonderful "feel good" liberals that think we are all so stupid and racist to see the error of our ways. Mayor Brown will be back. Marching for District Voting, getting into the fight for some racial harmony and diversity in our county. Stirring the fires of racism where none existed. As I said, its about the Power, and Brown will stop at nothing to keep it. Sometimes a leader, such as a Mayor, has to stand on principle when taking an unpopular but just position. But the underlying principles must be based upon logical and learned principles of justice, not upon some manical self absorbed power hungry martyr. Good Bye Mayor Brown. . . You've lived by the sword, governed by the sword, and now the citizens of PTC are going to run you thru with the power of the vote. CarpeDieminPTC's blog | login to post comments |
