Swann, Steele and Blackwell

Gateway Pundit directs our attention to three very exciting state tickets – and while it is noteworthy that in each case the candidate is African-American, what is more interesting is what they are saying (you know, content of their character stuff!)

The Pennsylvania Republican State Committee on Saturday endorsed Lynn Swann for governor and by the sound of his acceptance speech you can see why he is well liked by Republicans:

In his remarks to the state committee, Swann renewed his call for lower business taxes and a nonspecific overhaul of local property taxes, but shed no new light on his platform. He blamed Rendell for the political logjam that has held up property-tax cuts that were approved in 2004 but vetoed by local school districts, and portrayed him as too willing to raise taxes and fees.

“The cost of a birth certificate is more. The cost of a death certificate is more. And the cost of life in between under Ed Rendell is just too damn expensive!” Swann said.

Despite Bryant Gumble’s routine idiocy the perception that “George Bush hates black people” and that the GOP is inhospitable to African Americans deserves to be worn down.
