Real Clear Politics:

Four summers ago, then-Democratic Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama delivered a nominating speech in support of Barack Obama. The Illinois senator's election as party standard-bearer “takes us closer to becoming what we know America can be," he said at the Denver convention.

I used to be a democrat myself until I found my old country wide mortgage was giving sweetheart deals to Chris Dodd, Barack Obama friends, Barny Frank and company. Last presidential election I was staying at a homeless shelter.

No bail outs for me fine. No more votes for you. I am an ex-Reagan democrat from Macomb County Michigan and will vote republican this time around!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Davis, you chose to be a tool for the Republicans. They will have no other use for you when they have gotten what they needed from you. You'll be no better off. Nobody likes a tool like you.

Is Davis maneuvering to be on the national Republican ticket? If if memorizes Limbaugh and Fox talking points and barfs them up on que, he'll be a star. That's all it takes.

He use to represent me, and I liked him. Good speaker. Then he ran for Governor of Alabama, and his positions moved to the Right trying to win. Problem was the Democrats didn't want him back after he had changed his position. His desire to achieve higher and higher offices and his lack of conviction did him in in this state. Now he's a Republican from Virginia. LOL

Arthur Davis is a sell-out to not only the democratic party, but to himself, the educated people left in Alabama and to his cultural group....
How can any democrat let alone an African American southern support the Repubs & Mitt Romney the ultra-rich out-of-touch businessman, don't mention my governorship in Mass. Mormon. The Mormons didn't even accept Black people for years and their bible have a disparging view of Blacks and yet not only are there African Americans supporting them but members too. I wonder if Rich Mitt gave him some money or made promises to this sad pathetic politicians who would sell himself off to the repub craziness... It also proves just how pathetic Alabama has sunk and how important all the sane & educated people left should leave quickly.

Self-hatred is an ugly, pathetic condition. Mr. Davis must cover all the mirrors in his home in order to close his eyes at night.

The NEW Republican butt-pig. He's not fit to shine President Obama's shoes , let alone be in the same conversation. Thomas should just stay with his GOP friends because AA's wouldn't give him the sweat of their rears if he was dying of thirst.

Artur Davis, you are hereby de-Blacked, never to mention it again. While still not white, you will receive an official certificate of lack of melanin based consciousness and cultural awareness.

In your official kit you will find a six month supply of oversized handkerchiefs to provide suitable headcoverings for you as you Tom about.

A very insulting comment that disallows a person's ability to think for themselves not to mention the extreme racism and bigotry. Indeed, a fine example of Liberal tolerance and respect for the individual.

That was not a liberal comment, although liberal I am. That was a Black comment.

Davis' behavior and attitude is insulting to many of us. I couldn't care less if you cannot understand what it is about or where it comes from.

Who needs the failed congressman? That he failed be re-election is not Obama's fault. We are better off without him in the Democratic party
