On Friday, Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA), in an act of pure political desperation, has now labeled her own constituency racist and sexist. “I’ll be very, very honest with you,” Landrieu said. “The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans. It’s been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as leader.” The goal: drive out the black vote, the same way President Obama did in 2012.
Landrieu then added that the South is “more of a conservative place” and said that women have a problem “presenting ourselves.” The goal: driving out the female vote, the same way President Obama did in 2012.
Mary Landrieu has been in office since 1979. So for three decades, the people of Louisiana weren’t sexist enough to oust her, but now, apparently, their latent woman-hatred has come to the fore.
But Landrieu isn’t the only desperate Democrat pulling out all the stops in the late stages of a failing campaign. Here are seven others:
Charlie Rangel. On Thursday, the Democratic representative from New York performed his act at a rally for New York Governor:
We have to win!...Everything we believe in – everything we believe in – they hate. They don’t disagree – they hate! They think if you didn’t come from Europe 30 years ago, you didn’t even make it. Some of them believe that slavery isn’t over and they think they won the Civil War![continued]

Why doesn’t anyone tell the true history of southern slave owners? Where does “Uncle Tom” come from, oh .... that’s right. BLACK PLANTATION OWNERS!
“I’ll be very, very honest with you, OK? None of this is my fault.”
If the actual election were held in October, you could call it The Orange Crush!
They (the Republicans) did. They defeated the slavery party, the Democrats.
That is an amazing statement...luckily her minions in the press will suppress the story as best they can.
charlies blown right past absurdity an into utter insanity with that MESS...
Yeh poor Charlie Rangel-—he’s been a DemoRat slave to congress lo these many years.
They just won’t set the old boy Charlie free there in yankee NY. Racists..
Anyone who precedes their remarks with “Let me be very honest with you” is very likely someone who lies most of the time.
guess she missed all those riots up north in the 60s and early 70s.
After the last 2 major elections, I don’t believe any of the media hype.
I really think this latest gaffe, trying to pull the “Race Card”, really put the final nail in the political coffin for Senator Thunder Thighs. She’s toast. I live in Texas, a stone’s throw from the Louisiana border and I can tell you, that did not go over well down here in Cajun country.
That is an amazing statement...luckily her minions in the press will suppress the story as best they can.

Oh no; that has gone “national”. The genie is out of the bottle. There was a Black journalist on Greta’s show tonight. He tore her up!
Dont count on it. We had record early voter turnout.
Today, Halloween, is the last day of early voting. If today was the last day of voting, period, you’d have a lot of adults up all night, scared of the results.
Shapiro put this together. He is pretty good at this stuff.
This is all wishful thinking... Not going to be a blowout. Trust me.
Why trust you?
Sort of like being at the airport and hearing, "For your convenience.....". Whatever comes next is not good news.
