I was just hoping.

Well, you DID buy into that whole, hope & change thing.

She ain't my rep. She's in the 3rd District (up around Orlando) . I get Alcee Hastings in the 23rd district (down in Palm Beach). I do like the fact that if you google Corrine Brown "Corine Brown Idiot" is one of your options. Sadly though, if you Google the 23rd district in Fl., you should  (but you don't) get "impeached federal judge Alcee Hastings is still out of prison and in Congress"!
FQ13 who is not at all bitter

Why not?  Clinton was impeached and still served out his term in the White House?

Alcee is a disgrace. I don't want to be racist, but I do want to be honest. If this guy were white, he wouldn't be elected dog catcher. He needs to be gone, but that won't happen until blacks stop reflexively voting for the incumbent. I mean he supported Hillary! And still the black churches support him. What does a brother have to  do to piss off the hood?

7 words, Marion Barry, Charlie Rangel  Affirmative Action, Democrat.
Blacks are held to a lower standard, as long as they didn't get caught killing some one in a drug deal it's all OK.

Well he got caught taking money to cover up for someone who did just that, but apprently if you're black its ok.

And yet you keep sending Corrine Brown to the House. 

I won't bring up your choice in president......

Corrine Brown is in the 3rd district here in N.E. Florida. Luckily, I'm in the 4th. She is a complete buffoon. But like Quaker mentioned, AAs will never turn on someone of their own race. I have seen it not just in politics but in other parts of society too. The exception to this is when that person aligns him/herself to "the man" and then they will cut them off at the knees.

I'm not too sure of that. Seems to me they will turn on each other at the drop of a hat if it means that the other guy takes the fall and they get away. Also, look at how they treat each other in every other part of the world. They have no loyalty, except to themselves, and whoever is buying them off at the time. Race be damned, it is all about selfish indulgence. Why else would there be so many single AA mothers living in the hood, if AA's were so loyal to each other.

JC,
Not to be disagreeable but I grew up in the south; all my life have I lived here. I come from a working class background, and went to integrated schools. You're going to have to trust me on this when it comes down to a perceived white vs. black issue. They will side with their own race, even though they knew it may be wrong.

Friends of mine who are black have verified what I have observed. Like all things like this, it's not 100%, but it's close.

There is no arguing about this one JC. I don't care if its the preacher who gets caught with ten bastard children, the athlete who's accused of a crime, or a Congressman with his hand in the cookie jar, AAs will support them come hell or high water just because they're black. Why I don't know, but I would bet my bottom dollar that they will in any given case. And like fullauto I've lived my whole life in the South, went to a black majority high school, and lived in DC. I know whereof  I speak.

Marines it was the same way. If you had a beef with a white guy, or a hispanic guy you dealt with him.
If you had a beef with a (We called them Nairobi's    ) you dealt with him and 20 or 30 of his friends.
Every time.
