Thursday Open Thread: Crenshaw Edition
by PubliusYesterday, Cedra Crenshaw defeated the Chicago Democrat machine and won her rightful spot on the ballot this November. Voters in Illinois’ 43rd Senate District will now get a choice, not a coronation. A white Democrat election board threw her off the ballot and a judge restored her. Through it all, the NAACP was AWOL.

BTW- Loved your article on BG earlier. Promise to keep checking back with us.
Good luck. I hope you win.
Cedra is a threat…otherwise the election board wouldn't have bothered to give her the time of day…case in point…Green ( I think ) from South Carolina…nobody from, nowhere, with no job, no money and yet his feeble attempt at speech giving the other day…what can I say, he is no threat to anyone, but he's a Democrat…so they are not worried..even though he's black like Cedra, it's the party, not the brains….I hope she wins by a slam dunk!!!
Cedra got ignored by the NAACP ? That's a good thing, cuz lately, they've been throwing folks under buses.
Best of luck, Cedra.
heh…heh…heh… More cracks in the ol' Chicago Democrat corruption machine. Watch the "sleeping" Chicagoans wake up and elect her to office. This WILL be remarkable ! GO CEDRA !
Alright pretty lady!!! Still..don't let your guard down. Those Chicago Democrats are sneaky. Good Luck!
GO CEDRA!!!!!
Off topic… My Senator wrote a newsletter praising the financial reform crap signed into law. Here is my response…
Sir I respectfully yet STRONGLY disagree with you! This partisan Financial reform bill is every bit a bad as the ObamaCare bill.
There are no financial geniuses on Capitol Hill and the fact you think the Government who can’t even balance their budget can REFORM Wall Street is a JOKE! This “Financial Meltdown” we are in occurred almost entirely due to idiots in Washington, specifically Chris Dodd an Barney Frank engaged in politically correct lending an market manipulation at Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac (Remember they were EXEMPTED from this REFORM). Heavy handed Government meddling by Democrats caused this recession, and this idiotic bill rammed down our throats will fix nothing.
This bill is just another partisan hack job foisted upon “We the People” by a bunch of Democrats listening to their Dear Leader and not “We the People”.
Enjoy your term in office; I will actively work with ANY opponent that rises against you and Jim Webb who promises to listen to THE PEOPLE who elected them rather than their Party Leadership.
Good day sir,
Angry constituent.
Best wishes and blessings Cedra, I hope you kick your opponents ass.
And try to avoid any endorsement from the NAACP……………you stand a better chance of winning without it.
Go get em girl.
Boy, Andrew Breitbart sure has stirred up the hornets nest, and I just love how most of the news media (MSM) keep refering to him as "a conservative blogger". They're afraid to even mention his name, and that's saying alot in and of itself……………….cool. He should be happy about that.
Awesome, good news!
Now lets support this citizen, our candidates need money to fight the entrenched politicians. We must stand up and give whatever we can, this is our responsibility. What better to support a conservative Senate candidate from the home state of Obama.

Also, I am stockpiling fireworks and pork butts for the coming November celebrations.
Now go and do what is right for the people.
Congratulations Cedra! Hopefully you will win!
Way to go Cedra, thank you so much for not giving up. I'm certain there are too few Crenshaws in congress right now so you're needed badly.
I sent you some money and I guess I'll just have to send you some more. Well spent. I was watching oiut to see how it turned out. We didn't give up because we knew you wouldn't either!
.
The Racist Democrats lose again. What did the NAACP do to help get on the ballot????? NOTHING!!!!! When you rip off the white sheets from the KKK you see a lot of black faces. Who would of thunk it??? MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same ask the Paranoid ones in the whitehouse.
Congratulations Cedra! Sometimes the good guys do win, even in Illinois!
Since this is an open thread…

Congratulations and Good Luck Cedra….Now go and beat the machine again!!
Nice beat down on the senator. You really nailed it good.
Do those pricks even realize that everybody has a TV and we can see what they're doing?
.
You go, girl! I'll look for a website to contribute to your campaign. And, don't forget to check six at all times.
Unfortunately, we are stuck with those two yahoos as Senators for a few more years. Webb is such a chicken, that he didn't even hold a Town Hall during the Health Care debate. Warner hid up in Fredricksburg to have a Town Hall instead of Richmond where his office is located. I have NO respect for these two traitors.
I can just imagine the bills liberals are going to be shoving through until January of next year.
Good Luck Cedra! Remember, we're behind you!

Yesterday I was watching a video of Michelle Obama presenting awards to recepients in the arts. She seemed especially sweet. The result is: Attorney Jekyll and Mrs Obama
Has any seen the,…………NAACP,…..????????????
I know it's around here somewhere,……..
Mr. Jealous,…?????/
Mr Jealous,…….?????
come out, come out,..where ever you are
This is good to hear. What's even louder is the silence from the NAACP. They continue to be on the wrong side of the issues.
Anyone know how she is polling? I don't live in Chicago so I don't know the race well…
Right on Cedra! Now kick some ass!
I recently found that the NAACP is following me on Twitter. Not sure why, because I'm sure they won't like what I write. They are watching us. I think I'll post this story all day on Twitter and add their @NAACP just to make sure they get the message. Maybe they were busy….
This election cycle is shaping up to be the year of the Conservative Woman/Mom. Conservative Mom's all across America are fed up with waiting on a bunch of Fat Old Blue Blood Republicans to fix our country, so we've decided to start running for office ourselves! Sarah Palin has become a powerful campaigner for many of these women this year.
Never ever p*ss off a Mom! Good luck Cedra!
This courageous woman is a mama grizzly fighting the Chicago Machine. Stand with her. Go Cedra! http://www.cedracrenshaw.com/meet-cedra.html
Way to go Cedra! Keep fighting! You'd have my vote if I lived there!
You can find out more about Cedra on this site,……..
than in all of Chicago's media outlets combined
"A white Democrat election board threw her off the ballot and a judge restored her. Through it all, the NAACP was AWOL."
Absoluely Priceless! Keep up the good work Cedra AND Publius.
"……….Fat Old Blue Blood Republicans,……….."
best line I have read on this site in a very long time,……………
The proliferation of Republican women getting involved in politics is,………
the best opportunity for this country.
Morning Ralph! How is my Land O' Lincoln friend? I heard a snippet on the news the other day about Wrigley Field going up for sale? Say it ain't so?!
My cousin who lives in Northern Illinois is yet another casualty of a factory going out of business. His company makes Hummer parts I think and is closing this summer. So many of my family members up there have lost their factory jobs.
I just donated; now, everyone else go do the same!
Wow! That's great news! Cedra, you have our support.
Yeah, got my e-mail from the president of USAA. He's onboard with this monstrosity……pathetic….
Watch your back, Cedra. You've got more to fear from those Progressive Republicans than the Democrats that you 'know' are out to get you.
Government is a thug with a gun and not a helping hand.
Does you favorite politician fear government or are they holding the gun?
Never forget our politicians willingly dive into the cesspool of legalized bribery covering themselves in the filth of dishonesty and hypocrisy . They took the money and thus it is incumbent upon them too prove they are clean and what they are clutching in their hand is not our ruin . Our fossil politicians have squandered our prosperity too benefit themselves and drove our country to the verge of destruction and bankruptcy.
In November we will play again the other side of a broken record, receiving the same empty actions of shallow politicians as they drag our country into a progressive grave. I would speak of hope, greatness, or even victory, if words alone could make it happen, but without truth, accountability, and honor from elected officials and the general public we face a future unworthy of the sacrifice of those we placed on death’s ground.
It is time to throw away that broken record of two progressive government parties and register unaffiliated and demand real representation.
Is that right Ralph??……….Why am I NOT surprised?
NAACP has been AWOL maybe because they don't want to get involved in politics?
And if you believe that, I'll show you a Chicago politician who wants to be involved in a fair election.
Congrats Cedra, good luck to you!
NAACP = National Association for the Advancement of Chicago Politics.
HEY IDIOT OP!!!!!!! YEAH YOU!!!!! DISTRICT 43 IS NOT CHICAGO!!!!!!! GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND IDIOT!!!!
She will be able to after she loses everything. since she will unemployed by dec, she should have all the time in the world.
youre seriously mental if you think she is going anywhere in illinois. its highly laughable. in fact i start now. haahahahahahahhahahahahahahHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
she isnt running in chicago moron!!!!!! it nowhere near chicago!!!!! google use it.
You sound like george wallace. very stupid.
How's that Chicago thug mentality working out for you? Go back into the basement!
a chicagoan subscribing to this crap? how many kings live by your house?
dude youre so stupid. she isnt going to win a damn thing. she is using you for your contribution because she WILL be unemployed by dec.
i suspect you'll win in the arena of ideas, Cedra, (most Progressive Liberals shutter to think at that possibility), but, most importantly stay true to who you are and let them re-invent themselves like they always do.
Walk tall in the den of political evil that represents the machine!

You're right… look how far the 43rd is from Chicago… It's on the other side of the map.
http://www.illinoisatlas.com/illinois/political/j...
Oh… wait, that is the CHICAGO AREA MAP… do you libtard trolls have anything better to do than split meaningless hairs?
nice talking point mindless moron.
nice trick spastic.
The NAACP was way too busy writing the resolution calling the Tea Party racist. Cedra's case would not have fit the narrative.
Or, maybe Jealous didn't want to take the chance of getting "snookered".
You mean, Dude “you’re” so stupid… That being said, I always love hearing from “Team Parasite” now back on your knees slave, Barry loves you! Hahahaha… Oh, and you’re a racist for not backing Cedra!
So, you're bigoted against bigots. That makes you a bigot and you hate yourself. How do you live with yourself. Maybe you shouldn't. Is your oven electric or gas?
IMO, the NAACP are a disgraced organization that should be required to file as a PAC.
No more free rides.
No George Wallace was a Democrat. Home of the KKK. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same ask the Slave owning Democrat party.
iHB is also bigoted against "spastics".
I love it. "A choice, not a coronation." Crenshaw is a huge patriot and she has a strong will to go up against the Chicago machine. That takes cojones. And we all wish her the best.
Now why would the NAACP be AWOL That makes no sense. A black women being shut out by a white board…I mean that smacks of racism. Why would the NAACP ignore that…I mean…could it be….that, that, perhaps….no can't be. I was thinking that the NAACP really doesn't care about race at all but is actually tied to the hip to the Democratic machine to keep the money flowing…but that would be just ludicrous to think that.
The only color the NAACP cares about is green.
NAACP is on the attack when it comes to the Tea Party movement. Joe Hicks, Alfonzo Rachel and Dana Loesch discuss allegations of racism in the Tea Party movement. If it's true, can Tea Party detractors prove it? Hear more about the NAACP Tea Party resolution. Does the NAACP have a victim mentally? Should Tea Party organizers police itself against fringe elements?

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.
