My advise to Allen is that everytime the Confederate flag issue comes up, he should point out how it is a symbol the democrats used during their high of power in the south to control who voted how in the south.

Oh yeah. Like that's gonna carry the south...

Well, facts ARE facts. South Carolina got their "hertiage" over the state capitol thanks to Fritz Hollings in the '50s. If "the south" doesn't like the party of Lincoln they can vote back in the DemocRATs (come to think of it, Arkansas and Louisana did exactly that... good going, guys).

The "evil kennebunkport damnyankee carpetbagger" George W. Bush pointed out during the 2000 campaign that TX took down the confederate flag, and all the "confederate hertiage" types ranted and raved about it and then Pat Buchanan ran around the south touting his "pro-confederate" credentials as the 2nd coming of George Wallace.

Well "the south" gave the "damnyankee kennebunkport liberal" about 57% of their votes, and "Mr. Confederate hertiage" Pat Buchanan about 0.25% of their votes.

Looks like you guys aren't as representative of "the south" as you think.

I wouldn't know, I've only lived in the south since I was born. It's time to face the facts, as long as they can get away with it, the democrats are going to use the confederate flag however they wish to, but mainly they use it as a weapon of intimidation and racism.

As a Southerner, I've been given a choice, support that flag however the democrats want to use it against my conservative ideas or see how they use it for their own purposes and refuse to support those efforts by them, knowing that by doing so I have to turn my back on a flag that honestly I like, have flown and respected at one time.

Sometimes the best way to win a tug of war is to just let go and watch the other guy fall on his as....

We're not talking about the South, this is only a Senate race in Virginia. Allen has not declared for higher office. Try to keep up [lol].
