Black Republican Senators and House Members Outraged

at Condi's treatment at the hands of racist Democrats.

BREAKING NEWS: Scores of Black Republican Senators and dozens of Republican African-American House members expressed their extreme indignation over the treatment of Dr. Rice by partisan racially motivated Democrats. Black Republican Senator _________ summed it up when he said; "We gave all of our support 100% to Clinton appointees like Ron Brown and every single Clinton judicial nominee. As evidence, Black Republican Senator _________ provided the following:

"There had also been long delays on nominations to the conservative Fourth Circuit. No African American had ever served on the Fourth Circuit (covering North and South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland), even though it was the federal circuit with the highest percentage of African American population in the country. Clinton was determined to appoint an African American there, but conservative Republicans led by Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina had blocked every African American nominee that Clinton had submitted. Three never received a hearing. A fourth, James A. Beaty, Jr., was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, but his nomination was blocked from receiving a vote of the full Senate. Helms claimed that filling the four vacancies on the fifteen-member appeals court was unnecessary and would actually make the court less efficient (a position he reversed when George W. Bush became president). And, in October 1999, the Senate had outright rejected a judicial nominee by a full vote of the Senate for the first time since Robert Bork in 1987. The nominee, Ronnie White, had been tapped by Clinton to fill a federal District Court post in Missouri. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved him in a bipartisan vote, but he became caught up in the judicial log-jam that stalled his nomination for the next two years. When his name finally went to the floor of the Senate for a vote, Missouri Senator John Ashcroft led the opposition, calling White, who is an African American, “pro-criminal.” The Senate defeated White along a party-line vote. Later, when President Bush nominated Ashcroft to be Attorney General, Ashcroft had to respond to repeated allegations that he had distorted White’s record."

errr.....wait a second that's not the right document. You mean to tell me that there are NO Black Republican Senators or House Members? That just can't be!!!! Why these paragons of racial equality surely have at least one African American in the Senate???

Are you kidding me? The Party that has the best interest of Black Americans at heart DOES NOT HAVE ONE SINGLE BLACK IN ALL 535 SEATS IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE????

I'm shocked! Shocked!!!!, I tell you.

This must just be more evidence of those evil racist Democrats keeping the black man down.
