If the Vice President isn't so important, then why do we even bother to a 'ticket'? Why not appoint the Vice President? The "State's Rights Democrat Party" died in 1948. The book 'The Dixiecrat Revolt and the End of the Solid South, 1932-1968' goes over the Thurmond/Wright campaign and some other informative stuff. The party died. The people who could be categorized as that still live on. That would be like saying that Hockey Players died in 2004 if the NHL closed. No. Hockey Players will still be around and so were "Dixiecrats" I don't know if the mainstream of the GOP has much room to talk about Civil Rights in the 1960s. Considering they nominated a man who voted against the Civil Rights Act, they refused to pass a platform plank saluting the Civil Rights Act (at the 64 convention) and they had no real problem with getting the support of Southerners. Some of them being segregationists (some weren't, of course). Everett Dirksen did the right thing, but the rest of his party didn't follow his ideals. I think there's at least 3 groups of Southern politicians (going up until the 1970s) (1) the progressives (who usually didn't get any power due to the race issue. Ellis Arnall) (2) the opportunists (who used the race issue as a way to get elected. Strom Thurmond, Jimmy Carter [the 1970 campaign], George Wallace) (3) the "believers" (who really did believe a lot of the racist crap. Theodore Bilbo, J.B. Stoner) Hollings might be between 2 and 3, I'd have to check some of the stuff with his governorship. The Talmadges of Georgia were close to 3. Granted, they were also dictorial (if you've ever heard of the "Three Governor's Controversy", it's just bizarre) Carter did technically 'flop-flop' and say that 'segregation was over' when elected. Even if his campaign involved praise of George Wallace. I'll use restraint with Miller and the Civil Rights Act. Due to Robert C. Byrd and all. Not according to focus groups. Well, not according to at least one focus group (the Luntz one). It's red meat. Some will like it, some will not. It's the matter of where the "moderates" are. I don't think the Moderates will be coming out for Bush after hearing Zell claim Kerry would "out-source our National Security to Paris" or hearing that Zell knocked on the door of W's soul and got an answer. Times change. Kerry has changed. Wait.. Zell Miller condemned Kerry for bashing the weapons which won the Gulf War. The Gulf War being in 1991. Kerry also had some other votes against various weapons (which were in general packages, if I recall correctly), this happened in the 1980s. Zell Miller said that John Kerry worked to strengthen our military. Now Zell Miller says that John Kerry voted against the weapons used by our military in conflicts which happened before Zell Miller praised Kerry's record. I'm sure that Zell's paperwork (which is more stuff than the New York Public Library) has all sorts of Kerry evilness which happened after that speech. But, the fact remains that Zell Miller contradicted himself. The Electoral College does. Except for in the case of a draw, of course. And also they're around just in case. Bullshit. H.W. Bush denied that he had bashed Reagan's tax cut idea in the primary, and then they showed the "Voodoo Economics" clip. I'm pretty freaking sure that Bush didn't come right out in 1981 and stand against the tax cut.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5810451 The Hardball video is halfway down the page. Zell quotes: "What?" "I wanna get in your face!" "I think we oughta cancel this interview!" "You're hopeless." "Get outta my face" "I wish we lived in the day where you could challenge a person to a duel!" "I don't even know why I came on this program"

"I WAS FOR JOHN KERRY'S VOTING RECORD ON THE MILITARY BEFORE I WAS AGAINST IT!"

Maybe the Republicans will feature Zell in the next "Wild Eyed Democrats" ad.

Of course, Dean showed signs of delusion when he said he would win the Massachusetts Primary. "CHRIS MATTHEWS, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL. WHATCHAGONNADO?"

Tyler.. does Zell Miller's face of optimism not tell you that while he praised Kerry in this decade, he has realized that Kerry is bad, because Kerry voted against stuff in the 80s, before Miller praised Kerry, and um.. my eyes are now crossed out of confusion

From where did this bullshit come? http://miller.senate.gov/speeches/030101jjdinner.htm "TAKE THAT BACK TYLER!"

You wouldn't say that if he was a DNC mole.

I'm SO loving this. Zell is not taking Chris' shit here. -=Mike I'd take Zell Miller over Chris Matthews in a fistfight. And I don't like what Zell did either.

Zell Miller is the wrong sort of guy to be interviewed by Chris Matthews. This is just a compressed ball of rage

You know your chances are bad when you can't find anybody in the state to run for office. Keyes was beaten easily twice in his own state.

"A number of social problems arose. I had been told that neither smoking nor alcoholic beverages were allowed in the Royal Presence. As I was the host at luncheon I raised the matter at once, and said to the interpreter that if it was the religion of His Majesty to deprive himself of smoking and alcohol I must point out that my rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred right smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after, and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them." - Churchill on his meeting with Ibn Saud, King of Saudi Arabia I don't think Bush is close to Churchill.

passing this on. Apparently the DNC had various Republicans/Conservatives talking on the cable networks after the speeches. Yet, the RNC hasn't had that. Damn Liberal Media. At least Theresa LePore lost tonight

Advantage does not equal Outnumber. Sorta like how those cops didn't have an advantage on Ken Patera and Masa Saito, but they outnumbered them. The thing that got France deeper into this was banning the hejab. Of course, France was right in banning it.

Since of course that bill was the same the entire time and never changed. But, why would the Republicans lie? They're trustworthy when it comes to John Kerry's record. Just like how I can trust the people of Coca-Cola to tell me the truth about Pepsi. http://www.factcheck.org/article.aspx?docid=155 John Kerry: So evil, he insists on a solution where we run up less of a deficit on Iraq spending. Can we trust him? As for Rudy running for President. That'll depend on if he can get past a conservative candidate in the primaries. Such as in Iowa and South Carolina. The 2008 Republican primaries will be interesting. Or vicious. Either one. I want a primary that isn't all settled by March. Also, when it comes to Ahnuld's speech. It's simplistic. Granted, I think I agreed with a lot of stuff on a "yes/no" thing for the GOP platform. You know why? because it's hard to say no to a lot of the fluff they put on a platform. I sorta consider myself a Libertarian Democrat, or a Liberaltarian. Which is probably not fashionable

The issue is that Bush has went against something that he's been saying for the last 3 years. For being a decisive optimistic leader, he just contradicted himself and he just made a very pessimistic decision.

A STATEMENT FROM CANDIDATE SHARPE: "Once I am nominated by the Republican Party in 2008, I will decline to field a Vice Presidential candidate. I feel that the position is irrelevant. Vice Presidents should be appointed like Secretaries of State or Attorney Generals. That is all."

It seems anything with the words "War on" doesn't have much of a history of success.

source Well, I could have sworn his campaign was one of optimism, not pessisism. I thought that the Pessismists were on the other side. Bush also does a great job of contradicting himself and his administration: Bush, 12/4/01: Bush, 1/22/02: Bush, 6/2/02: Bush, 7/10/02: Bush, 11/3/03: Bush, 1/21/04: Bush, 1/31/04: Cheney, 7/2/04: Cheney, 7/16/04: Hmm.. there's more quotes on how the War in Iraq was part of winning the War on Terror, if you want some. I'm sure something changed his point of view. But, we know that he's not a flip-flopper at all. And just my own thoughts. The War on Terror is a war on an action. There has been no criteria for victory in this war. Bush's "make terror less acceptable" idea would be good, if he could show that under his administration, terror has been made less acceptable. That would be a hard case.

Former SJL superstar and cult sensation Leon Sharpe will run for President of the United States as a Republican in the 2008 elections. Here are his comments on the issues and current news. Leon Sharpe on.. The Republican National Convention and Protestors - "If they want a war, they should get one. If they want to protest peacefully, they should do it in their own damn states. New York City is crowded enough without thousands of whackjobs holding signs" Iraq - "Honestly, we should find a way to cut the testicles off of the resistance" The Swift Boat Veterans - "They validate everything I've learned about the media. That the media is ratings hungry, liberal and out of touch. They keep bringing this up for ratings. They slide it against these guys and they're clueless. I guess the truth hurts" His own military service - "There wasn't a war, so I never served" The fact that he graduated from High School in 1991 and there was a war around that time - "Well, the other soldiers did a pretty good job. Don't mess with success" Iran - "They can't be trusted" Economy - "It's pretty good right now, and once elected, I'll make Hong Kong seem communistic" Tax Cuts - "I'd prefer to keep the tax cut that I was given." The Income Tax - "It should be repealed" What should replace it - "We should repeal all federal drug laws and then find ways to tax the hell out of people who go to buy the stuff" Abortion - "It's no skin off my ass if some woman is irresponsible or something bad happened to her. If she wants to do it, she should." Campaign advertising - "McCain/Finegold is a disgrace. Banning or restricting 527 groups is a stupid idea. Survival of the fittest." Gay Marriage - "There's more important things to be concerned about." Separation of Church and State - "You know they put that in for a reason. I don't want to have to do any mandatory BUTT-kissing to any religion." Sex Scandals - "If you're without sin, you should be able to throw out accusations" Potential Sex Scandals involving him - "I'm not married, so I can have sex with whoever I damn well please. I can't cheat by definition." Drugs - "If you want to do them, you're responsible for the side effects. If your destiny involves overdosing on cocaine then why stop you?" Cuba - "Saturate them with our stuff. We're not the problem here. If we lift the embargo, Fidel Castro will not allow Cubans to just get Leon Sharpe t-shirts and all that. Therefore, we look good and he looks like a jackass" Video Game Violence - "If your priorities put stopping violent video games over stopping real violence then maybe you should look into removing your head from your ass" War on Terror - "It requires better airport and airplane security. It requires better monitoring. It requires moles in these groups. It requires cutting off supply lines. Sadly, I don't think much of that is being done." Immigration - "If you're an illegal immigrant, President Sharpe will deport you. I wouldn't let an intruder in my house stay even if he was doing an important task. As for the effects, some people are just going to have to get off the unemployment rolls and take the crappy job" Race - "It's not important. But, Bill Cosby said some stuff that I could never get away with saying" Outsourcing - "It was destined to happen. If you're a company, do you pay somebody $5.15 or 25 cents? Companies have to make money too. If having jobs in America is made profitable, then factories will return. The Minimum Wage is too high as well. Just my personal opinion." Education - "Trillions of dollars spent won't make a difference unless they buy mind control devices to make the kids want to learn" College - "You know there's probably a good reason why college is so expensive. Once I find that reason, I will work to eliminate it" His Political and Economic Philosophy - "Capitalistic Libertarianism. The Government is not your mommy. You are not stuck in the passenger seat. You should get into the driver's seat and make yourself a living." Wrestling between now and 2008 - "I think I could do it. It'd work out fine for the campaign fund." Offending people - "So what?" Supporting Bush over Kerry - "I'd rather be kicked in the ass than in the balls. Let's face it, with my income situation, John Kerry will raise my taxes. And let's face it, I might need some of that money sometime" His campaign slogan - "SHARPE - A shout, not an echo" So yeah.. Leon Sharpe is open to questions on the issues and on his radical right-wing viewpoints. A shout, not an echo

Saturday, August 28th USC vs. Virginia Tech Thursday, September 2nd Texas A&M at Utah Northwestern at TCU Friday, September 3rd Washington State at New Mexico - Tiebreaker #2 Saturday, September 4th Miami of Ohio at Michigan Bowling Green at Oklahoma California at Air Force Virginia at Temple Michigan State at Rutgers Oklahoma State at UCLA Wake Forest at Clemson Oregon State at LSU Tulane at Mississippi State Colorado State at Colorado Toledo at Minnesota Notre Dame at BYU Sunday, September 5th Syracuse at Purdue Kentucky at Louisville Fresno State at Washington UNLV at Tennessee Monday, September 6th Nevada at Louisiana Tech Pittsburgh at South Florida Florida State at Miami - Tiebreaker #1 Tiebreaker #3: How many total points will be scored in the Florida State/Miami game? 36 points Tiebreaker #4: How many yards will USC's Matt Leinart throw for against Virginia Tech? 235 yards

So, I assume this site is part of the plan to make it look like they've done this for awhile. So, because a group with ads blasting Kerry is accused of having Republican ties, that means a group of guys on bikes are coordinating a protest with the DNC? Riiiiiight My area has at least two traffic circles. And one of them is two-way at the moment. I hear there's more plans for the area that will make the "roundabout" (as they actually call it). Here's the traditional traffic circle (which is only by an ammo plant): http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp...=21645&z=15&w=1 and I'm sure traffic circles are a complicated way to confuse drivers. And I forget if it's Texas that has the 'horizontal' traffic lights, or if it's Arkansas.

Friday was the last Friday of the month, the usual day that they do that anyways. The RNC just happened to be coming into town. Now, if they tried to clog the streets on a convention day. "I'd expect them to do that" is not proof. In a court of law, using the argument "Well, this sounds like something he'd do" without any proof doesn't go over well. As a total number or a percentage? Don't worry about the traffic light thing, i'm just messing around there. There's other small jokes I could use to expand on that though, like "If they're riding in South Carolina, they would need mountain bikes" I might be wrong about the traffic circle claim though

More on what happened. http://www.times-up.org/cm.php http://www.times-up.org/rnc_2004.php Oh yeah, the Democrats are sending out the Critical Mass bike people. "How can we protest the RNC?" "Get people to ride bikes in New York?" "Brilliant!" Right Mike.. just wait until the Bike-people come to your state, it'll clog the traffic around the state's one stoplight. (Nah, I know there's at least 30 stoplights in South Carolina and a traffic circle too)

let's be fair, the Anti-Christ will not be a woman
