[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am white and vigorously support Grey. Here is why:

- Kaya Henderson - kept Rhee methods but better (still needs improvement though)
-More money to affordable housing
-City in good fiscal shape (much better than what Fenty left)
-Streetcar is coming
-bkeshare expanded
-Sustainable DC

I could go on, but the "I am not him" won't do it in this election and none of the candidates provide an alternative to the status quo.

Catania as a gay white male won't be electable in November either.

Catania can't run a shadow campaign or rig the vote the way someone like ShadyGrey did.  Grey is cut from the same cloth as his two  former council members now serving prison terms.

And, as we've seen from the complete lack of response to Marion Barry's repeated violations of D.C. 's hate speech laws, no one will speak out about the level of homophobia in many parts of DC - particularly Ward 8 where you can say racist things like "dirty Asians" or insult immigrants. [/quote]Except that Barry was roundly criticized for saying those things.  And what do you mean, DC's hate speech laws?  DC doesn't have a friggin' hate speech law.[/quote]
