I like everything I know about Mitt Romney---he may emerge soon (but only if he wants to) as one of the strongest candidates. The stupid "macaca" thing was apparently just a warm up for what was later to be revealed about Alllen.Something about these charges against Allen sounds exactly believable, like the details.Seems like his accusers are only too willing to stand by their accusations. I don't think the GOP needs their own version of Robert Byrd. Goodbye, George Allen.Not interested in him anymore. Allen has already risen to the level of his incompetence, and won't go beyond.
And something about you doesn't.
Welcome to Free Republic
You signed up last week and are already calling Republicans KKK racists.
I lived in Virginia for 22 years, including while George Allen was Governor. I attended an event at a public housing development in Alexandria for a candidate for the general assembly, at which George Allen spoke passionately and movingly of his commitment ot end poverty and help people own homes. Afterward he spoke cordially and worked the crowd which was entirely African American. He did not have to do this, and there were no TV cameras there, but he did it because he believed it. I had forgotten about it until all this stuff came up, and now I am pissed off.
You may not believe it, but there are actually conservative Republicans in Virginia who are not racist! And you don't have to be a redneck or act like one to get elected in Virginia. People pushing this story are ignorant and bigoted themselves, about how modern Southerners think and vote. We know the truth about George Allen. And we also know the truth about the sleazy liberals who are behind this outrageous, unprecedented smear campaign.
There is always John Mc Cain for you.
