Voters "couldn't find" Kerry, says Hollings

“My morals are way better than the greed of the other crowd,” he said.

ROTFL! The rats do nothing but raise money! Kerry is one of the wealthiest dims around. What lies!

[dirtbiker]

And in other news, some Kerry supporters couldn't find their a$$e$ with both hands...

....In their own back pockets....

Public education has achieved its goal in that district. Smell the irony!

“The people were looking at him head-on and couldn’t find him.”

I keep seeing this opinion expressed in one form or another -- it's just flat wrong!

Thank goodness that a majority of the American electorate looked at Kerry head-on and saw him for what he is.

"That's why I think Senators should be appointed by the states, not elected by the people. It would make the best campaign finance reform by eliminating 33 of the most expensive campaigns that occur every two years."

Bingo. About to post the same thing myself. Appointment as the Founding Fathers intended would keep the Senate responsive to the States. And it would be reflective of the political make up of the states.

The Senate has become expensive, arrogant, unresponsive and a body that is darn near unaccountable.

I concur completely; but if truth be known, South Carolina really deserved the likes of Hollings for decades.

Those Carolina folks by and large looked on their senior politicians as cult figures. Thurmond's staff really believed the old reprobate literally walked on water, etc. (I knew the Thurmond staff intimately in the mid-late 60's)

So, it is not surprising that a type-cast hack like Hollings lasted so long in the Palmetto State. Only recently has the leadership of the state de-shrouded itself from the Civil War, and the image of Rhett Butler standing at the foot of the staircase. And, there are plenty of vestiges still in the closets -- yet to be introduced to the 21st century.

“My morals are way better than the greed of the other crowd,”

This from Hollings (D-Disney, WorldCom, AT&T, RIAA, etc.)

Check out Opensecrets.org if you doubt how much swag this guy has taken.

Of course Kerry wasn't himself. As I said in a recent column, when Democrats are themselves, they lose elections. It's only when they convince people that they are hypocrits that they can win.

Have they checked Cabela's? I hear he wuz lookin' to git him a camo jacket and a huntin' license.

"Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-S.C.) — who has made a point of speaking his mind during nearly four decades in the Senate"

You can't tell me that cross-eyed klan kisser has four decades worth of mind to speak!

[kittymyrib]

Hollings is another decrepid waste of oxygen that a good rat could use. According to his definition of "morals", taking money from everyone's paychecks to buy votes with the miserable government health care and education programs makes him "moral". I guess that would make Karl Marx REALLY moral. What a blessing that this old f**t won't be stinking up the capitol any longer!

“My morals are way better than the greed of the other crowd,” he said.

He refused his government retirement?

[Paul Atreides]

On the contrary, Mr. Fritz Leghorn, we did see F'n as himself, and rejected him.

Maybe soon Mississippi will be rid of Trent Lott....and his ilk.
