Another Carson is going to Congress.
Democrat Andre Carson won Tuesday’s special election to succeed his grandmother, the late U.S. Rep. Julia Carson, and fill out the final 10 months of her term.
Carson’s win makes him the first Muslim to represent Indiana in Congress, and only the second Muslim nationwide to serve there.
Carson’s 54-43 percent win, with 100 percent of the vote tallied, over Republican state Rep. Jon Elrod, was strong. But it might not have been the type of knockout blow that would fend off the competition he faces in the May 6 primary.
The campaign for that election, a mere 55 days away, begins today.
He now must win the trifecta of not only Tuesday’s special election, but also the May primary election and the November general election to win a full term in Congress and be more than a footnote to his grandmother’s legacy.
  Andre Carson. |

These aren’t real Muslims. They’re your typical black urban dolts who use Islam to get attention. Real Middle Eastern muslims in Congress would be a true concern.

Time for a new Democratic Revolution for White Christians in the America their forebears created from this North American wilderness. . To Hell with these Communist, racist ,political, non-representative parties! Time to start anew. This shell of our former Republic has ceased it’s utility, and fairness to any Constitutional Patriot.

“These aren’t real Muslims. They’re your typical black urban dolts who use Islam to get attention.”
Also, they love to play “dress up”. Did you ever see those picture from a Black high school prom that were circulating on the Internet a few years ago?

What the heck is in the corn out there in Illinois and Indiana? We can understand Minnesota. It is, after all, mostly inhabited by descendents of those great multicult liberals from Scandinavia!

The 7th Congressional District has a large black population. If I’m not mistaken, I believe it is in Indianapolis. Indiana is much more conservative than Minnesota or Illinois.

Actually, Minnesota is far more conservative now. And Keith Ellison got in with a minority of the white vote. He got 55.6% of the total vote, while the Republican got 21.3% and an independent woman 21.0%. The nonwhites in Minneapolis voted for Ellison as a bloc, giving him a majority.
