Sorry Pug, you are trying to avoid the fact that I do what a caucus is. and how do I know? Because you have continuously claimed I do not know what one is, yet NEVER show me how a meeting of black ELECTED OFFICIALS who have declared their organization BLACKS ONLY (which is what I said), IS NOT a caucus. Further more you have avoided all together the fact that ANY such gathering of WHITES ONLY CONGRESSMEN, would be considered a gathering of racists.Pug wrote:
Ahh, no.
WTF do you even bother reading anything that is posted?
Let's just start with the basics of what you don't understand:
There is not an official govt. sanctioned racist group of elected officials to compare the black caucus to, unless you were comparing the black caucus to the hispanic caucus.
A caucus is not an official government sanctioned organization. Again you fail to understand what a caucus is.
I'm done lowing. You are so twisted and unable to understand basic facts, and because of that, your entire argument is flawed. You are too tied up in your own world to see it. Or you do see it, but you are too racist to relent.
Thanks for the entertainment.
Add to all of that you fail to acknowledge that any gathering of like race elected officials, that openly meet and openly reject other races into their midst, that are allowed such gathering to discuss govt. policy and govt. action, would be considered acceptable by the govt. IE govt. approved, IE govt. sanctioned.
Funding
In late 1994, after Republicans attained a majority in the House, they announced plans to rescind funding for 28 "legislative service organizations" which received taxpayer funding and occupied offices at the Capitol, including the CBC. Then-chairman Kweisi Mfume protested the decision, which never went through.[11]
In February 2010, The New York Times reported the caucus received 55 million dollars in contributions from corporations between 2004 and 2008. Most of that money went to social events and the organization's headquarters building on Embassy Row. In 2007, it paid more to the caterer for a single event than it spent on scholarships.[12] Scholarships controlled by the caucus were a source of public concern in September 2009 when it was reported Sanford Bishop and other members directed the money to members of their families and political cronies.
The Times compared the amount of money spent on internships by the caucus ($378,000 in 2008) to the amount paid for the decorator of its annual prayer breakfast that year ($350,000).[12]
Contributors to the caucus include cigarette manufacturers, brewers, and the rent-to-own industry.[12] <---loving this
So much for your assertion that it is not govt. sanctioned. Or taxpayer money and official space to meet in govt. buildings is not sanctioning enough for you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressio … us#Funding
I also find it funny that you play the race card just like the members of the CBC to Nader... anyway nothing more than further proof that the definition of "racist, is someone who wins an argument with a liberal."
