How much Moore do we have to put up with?

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

House Democrat Gwen Moore of Milwaukee today plans to join a protest at Sudan’s embassy over the genocide in Darfur – and expects to be arrested.

Being concerned over the situation in Darfur is laudable and taking action as a legislator in the U.S. House of Representatives is appropriate.

But how effective is a legislator whose only solution for a political issue is to get herself arrested?

Isn’t this grandstanding the equivalent of saying, discount viagra ailment “I have no power. No one will listen to me. I can influence nothing without making an ass of myself?”

This ridiculous gesture would probably have grave consequences for Gwen Moore’s image in the House and at home, viagra sale here if she hadn’t already been trivialized by the actions of her son.

I’m so glad I’m not a black man in America.

Not just because of the racism that still exists in many places, but because I believe I would die of shame if I were represented by:

• Gwen Moore
• Michael McGee, Jr.
• Lee Holloway
• Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney
• or Marion Barry.
