If your going to play act a Conservative charade, you have to keep a little kayfabe going. It's like when Tom Hanks' personal male package fell out of his skirt in "Bosom Buddies". That ended that. He did rebound when he played "Tootie" in "Facts of Life."
Darth says Jim smoked him because he opposed Bush. Darth was liquidated because he's a Democrat.
It's too late. He's gone too far. He lost the Sun. He's come undone. Bop a booda babba badda bop bop bada bop.
I don't think we should allow Reagan or Bush to post here.
No sooner had David Duke announced his bid for Bob Livingston's congressional seat in Louisiana than the national Republican Party began disavowing him. "There is no room in the party of Lincoln for a Klansman like David Duke," said Jim Nicholson, chairman of the Republican National Committee. "David Duke is a vicious racist and bigot," said Representative Peter King, a Long Island Republican. Yet, in the state where the election will be held, the reaction has been a bit different. While many in Louisiana talk about how Duke "embarrasses" the party, few have called him what he is: namely, a racist and an anti-Semite.
With a crowded field of strong contenders arrayed against him, and the highest negative rating of any politician in the campaign, Duke is a long shot. His only chance is to get a fifth or so of the vote in the open primary and squeak into a runoff against a Democrat in the overwhelmingly Republican district. But that begs the question: Why are so few Bayou State Republicans going out of their way to disavow this man? The answer can be found in the recent past, for, in the Louisiana Republican Party, David Duke has frequently been accepted -- and, in some cases, even welcomed.
The dichotomy between the national and Louisiana Republicans over Duke became apparent almost immediately in 1989, when Duke first burst on the scene as a credible candidate for the state House. Then-Republican National Chairman Lee Atwater responded by condemning Duke for intolerance and bigotry. Atwater also said the RNC would provide no assistance to Duke. President Reagan, who had just left office, and President Bush each made the unusual move of intervening in a state legislative race by endorsing Duke's opponent.

He missed it "by THAT much!"
Sometimes the Democrat is more conservative than the Republican. Darth believes in remaining true to his ideals, his principles, more than to party labels.
Darth says Jim smoked him because he opposed Bush.
No.
Here is what Darth says:

Darth was liquidated because he's a Democrat.
THAT may be the reason why he was "liquidated", but it isn't true. He wasn't, and still isn't, a Democrat.
In either case I don't recall for someone being a Democrat a good reason to "liquidate" anyone around here.
