Washington D.C. politics has been under Democrat purview and control for decades. Unfortunately, democrats don't have any success stories they can point to that might instill confidence in voters to re-elect them for yet another term. The dollars per child that the District spends on education is among the highest in the nation and with what result? Only 58.1% of Black students that enter high school will graduate. In the same district, the graduation rate for White students is 84%. Candidate Dennis Moore correctly sees the problem as people and family oriented, rather than financial. 'It's the people stupid' is the tough-love message that Moore brings to the city. It's not that people are the problem, but rather the culture that the people are in is more destructive than constructive. Like actor Bill Cosby, Dennis Moore carries the right message, to the right people, and is determined to turn this up-hill battle into a new Washington.
DC has been a kind of anomaly in the human condition and city politics. This is a city who re-elected Marion Barry after being caught in a cocaine bust. The city's soul has suffered, not to mention the city's children. Along comes a voice of reason, Black Republican mayoral candidate Dennis Moore, whose campaign slogan is "Mayor for a New Washington."
Libertas at HipHopRepublican writes about the uphill battle Moore and any other Republican candidate in Washington faces. Time is right (no pun intended) for the people of Washington to say, we're fed up and we're not going to take it any more and to get out and support Dennis Moore.
If John Lennon had been a politician and still around today, he might have written it's time to 'give Moore a chance.'
