Garry Cobb played football for USC and then for 11 years with the Philadelphia Eagles. He is now running for New Jerseys 1st District seat as a Republican, and his explanation of why he is no longer a Democrat is very compelling.
Explaining that he kind of discovered that he was Republican due to his upbringing, he said that the massively negative effects of Lyndon Johnsons War on Poverty had the most impact:
This was an incentive for the man to leave the home and its destroyed African-American families throughout the country.
I didnt realize it but as I started thinking about it and growing up, because as a kid going to college, you know I was all into the Democratic Party and everything; then I started realizing they helped destroy our communities and were supposed to be celebrating electing these people.
One of the towns in our areas, Camden, is still suffering. I want to put an end to this.
He goes on to explain further how the Democratic party and its policies have impacted youth, the economy, and more. He has some not-so-complimentary things to say about the President as well.
Its refreshing to see a man in a position like Cobbs so clearly explain why liberal economic and social policies are not as compassionate as many are led to believe
Well, yes - but the Democrats have been destroying Black communities for fifty years now.
Hasn’t this become a kind of fixed and unswerving national policy?
Sadly he doesn’t have much chance in NJ-1, Romney got only 34% of the vote there. He almost ran in NJ-3 instead.
I wonder if he is distant kin to Booker T. Washington.
You know what when I watching that PBS special finding your roots with Henry Lloyd Gates they have celerbtity forgot who was he was distanted related to Booker T Washington
He was a white celebrity
And this is not Jerry's first pass attempt... so he has the situation well in hand--
Bender. I know you are excited about Johnny football, but the success of the Brown’s drafted quarterbacks is only slightly better than the Chief’s drafted quarterbacks. And we did draft Roger Stauback when we were AFL.
