What Is The Difference Between Shady Moves By Democrats And Shady Moves By Republicans?

Answer - the Democrats have the majority of Black people in their party and thus when they do things for self-serving reasons it is NOT called "racist".

Just imagine if an evil Republican leaning state made a law to counter the powers of a Democratic governor to appoint a Democrat. The governor would only need to make the case that of the 5 candidates that he had in mind for the Senate - 3 of them were Black. Thus with this Republican move there is a high amount of suspicion as to the RACIAL MOTIVATIONS of this move.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, a Democrat, told CNN Tuesday he supports the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's wish to appoint an interim senator to serve during the five months before a special election is slated to be held.

Calling the proposal "eminently reasonable," Patrick told CNN's Larry King. "Massachusetts needs two voices in the United States Senate, especially at a time of momentous change like this."

Under current Massachusetts law, a special election must be held 145 to 160 days — about five months — after a Senate seat becomes vacant. The winner of that election serves the remainder of a senator's unexpired term.

Last week, Kennedy — who died Tuesday at age 77 after serving nearly five decades in the Senate — urged that the law be changed to allow the governor to appoint a temporary replacement until the special election can be held.

Patrick also said he has no interest in running for the post itself.
