They love to stir up trouble dont they. Shelia is unprofessional & Del Carter simply tells the truth and they hate it. You know what though someone has to keep it real. I love and support her all day.

Just to set the record straight about Delegate Jill Carter, the hardest working person, woman or man, that I have ever seen. She certainly works harder than most, if not all, of the other delegates in Annapolis. It was common knowledge in the last legislative session that Sheila Dixon never came to the Baltimore Delegation sessions because everyone was talking about how she was afraid to expose her lack of knowledge and some said she was afraid to face Jill Carter. Whatever the reason, she never came.

During the legislative session, Delegate Carter received a call while she was in session that her mother had been rushed to the hospital and that it was very serious. Delegate Carter left Annapolis and went to the hospital. She sat in the hospital with her mother every sngle day and night, all night long, never going home or to Annapolis for about a week. She said that bad things always happen in hospitals late at night, and while people are sleeping and not paying attention. She was not willing to take any chances of anything happening to her mother because she wasn’t there or wasn’t paying attention. I know Mrs. Carter went home and that the delegate stayed with her there for a few days as well, and after that, for the most part, the delegate was at just about every floor and committee session in Annapolis. She used to work in her committee until somethimes 10 and 11 pm, and later at times.

Sometimes there would be meetings and other events in Baltimore and people would want the delegate to leave Annapolis and attend them. She never liked doing it, but sometimes she did. I worked part-time in Annapolis and I saw these things first hand. I have great respect for Delegate Jill Carter because of her high principles and strong work ethic. This woman works all the time. I don’t even believe she sleeps. I have received emails from her at 3 am and 5 am in the morning. I’ve never even known her to do anything for fun. I’ve heard her say that she’s had fun before, so she knows what it’s like, and she’s more interested in being productive.

Delegate Carter is an inspiration to me and many of us young women and men could take a lesson in commitment and accomplishment from her.

I think Mitchell, Bundley and Conaway should step down and out of the race and yes let the Black Woman do something. I’ve changed my opinion as before. This may not win me any friends and it should not be called a cat fight. I am a Black Nationalist and I stand for Black people. If we are honest Carter has a stronger fighting spirit than many of the men. I do respect Mr. Conaway though, he is a little independent though he needs to be baptized in blackness. It is said that Mr. Conaway is into Real Estate. I wonder why he does not have more wealth himself. I don’t understand how Black Politicians that have made decent salaries do not and have not accumulated any independent wealth. Many politicians are frivilous and personally fiscally irresponsible. How can someone that does not handle their own wealth attainment and finances possibly run a city. Maybe I’m missing something, but somehow someone told Black Politicians that they are supposed to be poor. I hope Jill Carter does not listen to Poor people or the typical black middle class attitudes towards business, life, politics and wealth. Anyway, I almost feel sorry for Sheila Dixon she is a black woman though she does not love herself or black people. I wanted to believe though if you go to her website she does not speak of radio one 1010 AM. http://www.sheliadixon.com for her supporters to call. She suggests folk call the white shows 680 A.M. as well as 1090 A.M. I would like for Del Carter to open up opportunities for Black people. Meaning this Black people have a disproportionate amount of wealth. Some might say it starts with Education which she has fought for of course though I think that Del. Carter could have challenged some of the other candidates records on their support of her in Annapolis. Now just in all fairness and dailogue there was an article I believe in the sun comparing Del. Carters presence in Annapolis. I tried to defend this in dailogue before by my understanding of the Annapolis Culture. I theorized that with O’malley controlling yes Annapolis even from Baltimore or at least controlling many of the Delegates and Senators from Baltimore, Del. Carter was operating in a hostile environment and have basically been neutralized, isolated, ostracized and lynched. I understand this and it would be wise for her to understand and yes in fact speak out about how she felt in Annapolis around spies and turncoats. I do not know what her comments on this was though for those that are not controlled by the powers that be we understand. I wouldn’t want to vote on USELESS legislation anyway. So I would not show up either!!!

I hope Ms. Carter can engage the Mayor in a more credible forum than The Larry Young Show. No credibility at all on that station other than Darrin Muhammed. Make yourself visible Ms. Carter in these dog days. You will have no problem passing Mitchell. If what I hear is true, crash Dixon’s endorsement party where the former mayor is due to speak on behalf of one of his favorite black lackeys.

I’m going to expound on the races a little bit later.

In the meantime, check out this site I just found:

Apparently this is an effort to remind voters about Dixon’s past “transgressions.”

Dixon was very rattled byDelegate Carter. Sheila Dixon flung her headset off and threw it down on the table. Honestly, It was funny. But, the delegate conducted herself with class at all times. Dixon looked like she was ready to take it to the streets.

Bundley said “children are listening.” Delegate Carter said good they need to hear this, then she turnd to the children and said, “This woman has been on the city council for 20 years and she’s done nothing for you. What do you think about that.” I tell you, it was very funny. But, the delegate was smiling and Dixon was scrunching her face all up getting really, really pissed off.

Being new to the area, I’m not too familiar with either of ‘em. What’s your take, Heb?

I know that supporters of both of these candidates visit this blog. Let’s try to remember the “Rules of Engagement” and be respectful even in disagreement people. Thanks.
