Why Is Paterson’s Color An Issue?

New York Governor David Paterson is a poor leader. It is not hard to see (no pun intended) that he is lost in his position much like Obama is lost in his. Paterson, the accidental governor, is doing stupid things to try to close a budget deficit and he is causing a lot of problems. He is making Democrats nervous because they are worried that he might lose the next election to some evil Republican.

The high rollers in the Democratic party have told Paterson that he has until November to get his poll numbers up or they might decide to run someone else for his position. This is the business of the Democrats and of New Yorkers so I really don’t care about it but while reading the story I came across this:

“Nobody really wants to go to a sitting Democratic governor who’s African-American and say, ‘Hey. You’re a disgrace. Get out.'” NY Daily News

Why is it that his color makes any difference? They had to say that no one wants to go to an African American and tell him he is a problem. Why is this? Is it because they do not want to be labeled racist? The left screams racism all the time. I just can get my hands around the issue of his color. Why is it any part of the equation? They would not worry about color if they had to tell a white guy he was doing a terrible job.

They could have easily said no one wants to go to a sitting governor and say “Hey, You’re a disgrace. Get out” and left the race component out of it. Does the left have to constantly put race into an issue? I know the left is full of racists but a statement like this translates to; “we can’t get rid of the black guy. He has been oppressed and if we don’t help him out he will never get anywhere. Besides, people will say we were racially motivated.”

David Paterson is incompetent. His color has nothing to do with that. He is incompetent because he cannot lead. He and Obama have that in common, neither can lead. I don’t care what color they are because incompetence is not confined to one’s skin color. It is simple, he is incompetent because he cannot lead. He espouses liberal philosophies, the philosophies that have caused many cities and states to run up huge deficits. He is in the same boat and his inability to lead makes it impossible for him to solve the problem.

Democrats in New York have to worry about color but that color is red. That is the color of the ink the state is drowning in.

    The mainstream media wouldn’t do it. So we are trying to get your important messages to the American people. This post is a suggested read at, http://aresay.blogspot.com/

    Rush is pulling out of New York over the taxes and Donald Trump is complaining, so I expect he will go sooner or later. Hey, when all these incompetent Democrats get done, we just may get all Republicans back in office in the next election.

    Speaking of ACORN didn’t I hear that those lame folks were going to try and create havoc at some of the tea parties? Hope someone puts that image up on Youtube. Crazy libs getting a taste of real Americans. LOL

    Pretending ACORN is going to mess with the dumb tea bag parties is to pretend liberals care enough about a pathetic plan.

    Bob Cesca quoted this site today about folks at these protests:

    I take it they don’t like the economic stimulus package, but that’s already passed. They don’t like budget deficits, unless they’re run by Republican presidents. They don’t want their taxes to go up, but Obama has already passed a significant middle-class tax cut, which by most measures, is the largest tax cut ever signed by a U.S. president.

    So, angry, right-wing activists are going to get together to demand … what exactly? A 36% top rate instead of a 39.6% top rate? A $3.1 trillion federal budget instead of a $3.5 trillion budget? It’s hardly the stuff of a credible and coherent political movement.

      I have seen some reports where lefties (don’t know if ACORN is among them) intend to show up with racist signs to discredit the protesters. It is amazing to me that when people protest tax increases you find them nuts but when they protest war you praise them.

      No, there was not the largest tax cut in history by Obama. LIE.

      LIE LIE

      Show me this middle class tax cut. His budget had tax cuts removed and he plans on letting the Bush tax cuts expire and they benefited the middle class more than anyone.

      Also, remember, 40% of wage earners DO NOT pay taxes. He might have given them credits so they get more of someone else’s money but they got no tax cut because they pay no taxes.

      I don’t want either rate. I think progressive taxes are discriminatory and we should all pay the same rate.

      I am tired of paying for other people. I am tired of homeless people with cell phones. I am tired of people complaining they need more when the standard of living for our poor is better than many people in other countries. Cesca is wrong but telling lies is nothing new for his kind. Libs love to make stuff up. That fairy Franks is lying through his teeth as are a bunch of them.

      So I do not accept what he says. He can lie all he wants and you are free to believe it but it will take proof (and not gubmint math) to convince me.

      One facet of the tea parties is to say ENOUGH! This money that O’bama is ginning up is your money, and my money, and my daughter’s money, and we should have a voice is whether or not the big O is spending it right (He isn’t)The government uses our money, and they do not have a right to any more of our money than is needed for basic services.
      I am so tired of the phrase “too big to fail”- there is nothing that is too big to fail, and O’bama is trying to prove this by taking America down the tubes.
      The problem with many libs is that they will not admit they are wrong until it’s too late. on’t worry, Adam, you’ll thank us later.
