Mfume on policy Iraq: "The first thing we have to do is admit that this is an illegal war. We are there for all the wrong reasons. I believe weve got to get out of there in a way that allows this nation to focus more of its time, resources and brave young men and women on the issue of homeland security. I dont believe were making the world safer by being there. Being in Iraq has found a way to slow down our machinery in terms of real homeland security." [2]
Immigration: "I like [House Judiciary Chairman] Jim Sensenbrenner, but hes dead wrong with the House version that says, Lets put up a 700-mile wall around the United States. Lets lock up every priest and every pastor that gives food or comfort to an illegal who may be dying on the street, because that means youre an automatic felon. Thats draconian, and thats why youre having the demonstrations taking place." [5]

Queasy Mfume is too liberal for even the hard-line Dems in Maryland.

Now that Mfume has spoken, I expect that Dean will soon be shown the door.

Hopefully this will be a pick-up for the Republicans. I still see us adding at least one seat this year despite all the doom and gloom I hear from the MSM.

Does Mfume realizes that he's just a tool for the Dems?
They only cared about him when he was heading the NAACP. Now that he's trying to achieve real power, they don't want nothing to do with him.
Typical liberal hypocrisy/racism...

"I can say that there will be people who will feel disaffected [if I am not the nominee],"
Like his Mom and Dad, cant think on anyone else though.

What about his record of anti-semitism? How come Conyers, McKinney, this jerk, and a LARGE number of Dems are given a pass on their open hatred of Israel?
Who says there's no bias in the MSM?

Wasn't he the head of the Congressional Black Caucus at one time?
I remember seeing him in 1994 (on C-SPAM i think) decrying with a hispanic member of Congress (Jose Torres?) about the defunding of the CBC by the Congress.
He referred to it as 'ethnic cleansing."
I kid you not. This was one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen on television.

Hey folks, don't be too hard on Mfume; he all but said if he loses the Dem primary (almost certain) he'll tacitly endorse Steele.

I think you are right. He had a regular name back then, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was.

Swami has a koolaid-swallowing constituency of Blacks in Baltimore and PG County, and that's it. The rest of the Dems, particularly the union guys, know he can't win and are scared to death they will lose a safe Senate seat if he is the nominee. Particularly so, because he would be running against Mike Steele, an attractive, articulate Black Republican with real ideas and strong voter appeal.
Actually, the Dems are worried about a lot more than Swami Buffune's delicate sensitivities. The candidate to which they are hitching their star, Ben Cardin, is is a real cipher. He is an old time ward heeler from Balmur who was a complete nonentity in the House. The unions pretty much own him, so they will fight hard to get him into the Senate. In a statewide race, though, he's not an easy sell.

I wouldn't harp too much on the illegitimate kids. Swami acknowledges his paternal responsibility and supports the kids. Not the best of all worlds, for sure, but it's a damn sight more than many Black (and White) fathers do. There are lots of things to get on Swami about. I'd leave this one be.
