Congressional Candidate Bernard Sansaricq issued a statement denouncing the Democratic double standard that has permeated the debate over the nomination of Appellate Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court.
“The rush to confirm Judge Sotomayor prior to her being properly vetted is premature. But far more disturbing are the accusations of racism that many Democrats have made toward those who take pause at certain past statements made by the nominee. It should be noted that many of these same Democrats, including President Obama, tried to prevent so much as an up or down for the nomination of Justice Alito,” said Sansaricq, the Republican challenger to Representative Alcee Hastings for Florida’s 23rd congressional district.
Sansaricq continued, “Most disturbing of all is the double standard that has met this nomination when compared to that of Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991. No one has ever suggested that the unsubstantiated and often provably false mudslinging at Justice Thomas, the second African-American justice ever to be nominated, was racially motivated. Yet mere question of Judge Sotomayor’s qualifications or past comments are met with accusations of ethnic bias. This double standard is wrong and needs to be exposed for what it is.”
Congressman Alcee Hastings, who Sansaricq is seeking to unseat, previously served as a Carter appointed federal judge, prior to being impeached by Congress in 1989. Hastings has most recently come under fire from the Law Enforcement Examiner for his proposal of Bill HR 645, the National Emergency Centers Establishment Act, which the Examiner excoriated as a call for make shift prison camps throughout the United States.
Sansaricq served as President of the Senate in Haiti from 1991-1994 and led the struggle for human rights in that country. In 1964, Sansaricq saw 13 members of his family killed by the Duvalier regime which then ruled Haiti. His life was again endangered in the late 1980s, forcing him to seek refuge in the Argentine embassy.
Having lived in America for decades in between, Sansaricq returned to the United States in 1994 and has led the struggle for better economic conditions for South Florida’s most economically depressed areas ever since. His platform calls for a complete economic redevelopment of the 23rd congressional district. To this end, Sansaricq is currently working with leading small business development consultant and candidate for State Representative Yomin Postelnik, to formulate a comprehensive small business regrowth plan for South Florida’s economy.

What is this, the “who is the most discriminated against po folks in the room” annual competition for self important aholes??
Bernard’s a great Republican candidate. He’s sticking it to Dems in areas they’ve felt safe in for 40 years.
Seriously, why don’t we institute a “culture of corruption” line against this band of murdering, pimping, thieving, lying SOB’s...I just don’t get that...OK, the press won’t help, but that shouldn’t stop us from saying it at every opportunity in a radio or TV spot and interview...that’s how Big Head Ted got away with murder...we just give up in the face of the overwhelming gall and don’t hold their feet to the fire...although, I guess, Ted will be seeing plenty of fire soon...sooner, rather than later, I hope...
I don’t know why we don’t decry the double standard more. Here in South Florida there’s a whole group of us that finally are. Allen West in FL-22 (against Klein), Bernard Sansaricq in FL-23, Dennis Lamb in FL-20 (against Debbie Wasserman Schultz) and a few of us State Rep candidates are getting the message out to local groups. But we need to do this nationally.
“I don’t know why we don’t decry the double standard more.”
Wellll...even more than that...when we catch someone crooked...THEY ARE GONE...Dims keep electing these indefesible scumbags over and over...we have more DIMS sitting in office that should be in jail than the Bloods and the Crips...
