Who's Afraid of Alicia Hughes?

... Democrats in Alexandria, VA couldn't stop Councilwoman Alicia Hughes from being elected.

Now, they're trying to overturn the results.

Seadog,
No need to be sorry!

Now that Gov. Palin has resigned, so that the ridiculous legal attacks will stop, the wolves will need a new target. I hope it's not Ms. Hughes.

But I suspect that Tea Party and cottoneyed are correct. Alicia Hughes will be villified for being smart, pretty, black, and conservative.

By G-D we can't have that,
a black woman who's a Republican, no way. Look out Mrs. Hughes, your about to get Clarence Thomased!! They will accuse you of "not asking questions in oral arguments". You see, Justice Thomas is just not smart enough to axe em'. That about right, you leftist scum, out there?

So very, very sorry.

Just goes to show you, Julie -- the democrats are totally corrupt!
Tea Party writes: Friday, July, 03, 2009 3:11 PM
That's because
the DemonRAT Party hasn't changed since it initiated the KuKluxKlan..they have just found a better, easier way to keep the slaves on the plantation. And when one dares escape, they send the Bounty Hunters after them.

God Bless her..I hope she keeps fighting.

Seadog,
Not to be picky but it's Julie, not Julia. I don't want to be like "call me Senator Boxer", but I don't want to be confused with someone else.

Isn't it amazing that this astute young lady is being attacked, while an existing congesswoman from California has defaulted on her huge mortgage, with no media attention?

What is wrong with this picture?

Julia
"She probably won't get as much flak as Palin did, because she is black."

I'll bet she would were she to run for a major national office.

First, they'll call her dumb, then poke around in her family until they learn something bad, or make up something bad. Maybe, like, her family not only did not arrive on a slave ship, but they fought for the South!
Julie writes: Friday, July, 03, 2009 2:49 PM
The Plumber,
Yes, she is another pretty conservative woman. She probably won't get as much flak as Palin did, because she is black.

But I'd be willing to bet that Ms. Hughes is ready to defend herself.

What a brave woman!
The Plumber writes: Friday, July, 03, 2009 2:31 PM
Another pretty conservative woman
How do I know she's conservative, and not just another Republican statist?

Colin Powell. Imagine the grief she gets for being a Republican.

The Minnesota election
Should have been a run off. They started with 3 candidates, none of which got a majority. In that case the best thing to do is run-off election between the top two the following month. They did it in Georgia and they do it in Texas all the time. Works like a champ. We dont need three parties. The final vote needs to be an election between the top to candidates.

They didnt do it in this case. They just added up what was there and then did a recount....and whoops found some missing ballots.

Furthermore, the state should require the same voting rules for ALL counties when it comes to voting and submitting ballots of all categories accepted. That way if you happen to find a few hundred in someones car, they wouldnt be allowed because they broke the chain of 'evidence' so to speak.

Its how the dems work, through lies and
crapola. I am still wondering about their LEADERS true birth place.And FRANKEN STOLE MINNASOTAS election with total fraud accepted by a idiotic court.This country is in real danger right now, hope everyone has their own gun to help take the country back, how many dems have one since they profess to be against them, or is that a lie too.
Retired Lady writes: Friday, July, 03, 2009 1:00 PM
Obviously she is the right
color but, unfortunately, for her, she is a member of the wrong party, hence the demo-RATS outrage! Yes, indeed, isn't this party, the demo-RATS the party of the "colorblind?"

Whats new
In Cuyahoga county Ohio, The democrunt county commissioner is blaming the Republicans for his misfortune of being under investigation for corruption. He is blaming his problems on the republicans trying to keep Odumbo from being elected. Unfortunatly for his fat jabba butt, all of his cronies have been indicted, and are starting to squeel. By the way, A Republican has not been in county government, or the city of Cleveland for years. See a pattern here?

Extremists, racists = new democrats...
...don't like your opposition? make them political "enemies" then accuse them of trumped up crimes and jail them - the beginning of political prisoners coming to your country soon.
