I'm enjoying this. In any event, Democrats need to stop worrying about the southerner because they stick where they land. It took 50 years of crap before they abandoned the Democrats and they will not return at the snap of the fingers or for light reasons. The author of this piece seems to think that the Democrats need a dose of "populism". Nice try, but Gore couldn't make that work. It's going to take more than mentioning the confederate flag or putting an ad on a NASCAR car or putting on a fake southern accent.

They might as well write off the south. If it weren't bad enough Zell Miller has given the remaining conservative southern democrats permission to vote for Bush like they wanted to do anyway.

What ever happened to their "NASCAR" strategy? These people are just incompetent...and they dare question Bush's intelligence?

What Dean meant to say was "I want to get the vote of the southerner with the GUN RACK in the back of his pickup.

The moron confused race and RKBA in his pea-brain, and shot himself in the foot.

I was just listening to one of the NBC cable channels and Cook and Fineman were pretty much saying that same thing...they've lost the South.

So now we have General "Lightspeed" Clark vs Howard "Stars 'n Bars" Dean vs "Deeply Saddened" Tommy Daschle.

I have the Confederate flag in my truck and Calvin is pissing on a Toyota and a Made in China Emblem.

It's interesting to watch these stuffed shirts. All just stand there in the middle of the road waiting to pounce on any comment made by one of their "fellow Democrats".

This is kinda funny. Competing for the Bubba Vote? Reaching out to Rednecks? Confederate flags on trucks? Talk about stereotyping people. The indignant Democrats are inferring a level of incompetence is present in people who display these tendencys. They also forget......... most of those same Rednecks are also NRA members, sportsmen, and far more intelligent than Democrats give them credit for. And States rights were the real symbol of the Rebel Flag, not racism. Bubba knows his history too. LOL

The author is so so lost, just like the party he belongs to.

Just try to figure out this little gem.

: Why do so many white working-class males vote against their own economic interests?

Voting democrat is in their economic interest?
Higher taxes are in their economic interest?
Re-educating their children into socialist robots is in their interest?

As Zell said, they didn't leave the party, it did a left turn and left them to discover how they had been used and abused since FDR.

The whole flag thing, most of these so-called "white working class" males work with "black working class" males,
they know their families and their histories, the political
"elite" of the democrat party doesn't have a clue about how
they think OR feel.............but one thing they don't like is being lied to.

Noticed on the xpressway now more flag signs saying "Sonny Lied". They wouldn't take it from Barnes and they won't take it from Purdue.

The "Elite" just don't get that the south was and is a part of the United States of America and isn't about to deny it's history or it's heritage to appease some sniveling socialists.

Now and then Freepers post photos from gay pride parades to invite funny captions. The costumes that the paraders put on are some of the most bizarre -- and hilarious -- I've ever set eyes on.

Then I noticed something. There's always a Howard Dean contingent at those parades. He's their guy. I went back over some of the collected photos and did not find support for any other candidate. For the freak vote, it's all Howard Dean.

Now we hear that the same Howard Dean is wooing Good Ol' Boys with confederate flags on their trucks and gun racks in the back of the cab. It's a frightening alliance. Can you see the new metrosexual Good Ol' Redneck Boys getting out their leather jockstraps, pink wigs and confederate flags to march side by side down the main street of Valdosta with their gay pride brethren, the dykes on bikes and the rest of the freak Left?

If you're not already on this thread somewhere, come take a look. You'll like it. Nothing like having the 9 dwarves shoot themselves politically over guns and the CBF.

Bump for Wednesday read....

Dean was actually right. The Dems already have the black vote and it's not going anywhere. They'll push those buttons without question. Their only hope is the redneck vote.
