Mike Nifong is the classic example of the talentless white guy who race ponders his way into a totally undeserved career in politics. Why, oh why hasn't this jerk been disbarred?

[SoldierDad]

Disbarrment proceedings may just be around the corner after this case reaches it's conclusion and people start looking at Nifong's behavior. May he rot in the hell he's created for himself. I wonder if criminal charges could be brought against him for this conduct?

Mayhap perjury.

[SoldierDad]

I certainly hope so. This doofus needs to go down in flames (and see what it is like to live in a 6x8 cell).

[WhiteGuy]

define "we"

America's voting public.

[streetpreacher]

Your post with that username... that's funny.

[WhiteGuy]

Did you vote for him?

I didn't

[WhiteGuy]

Why?

[streetpreacher]

Do I have to spell it out for you? Come on man.

“D.A. Nifong referred to the lacrosse players “a bunch of hooligans” whose “daddies could buy them expensive lawyers.”

These Hooligans’ daddies’ expensive lawyers might just bring lawsuits against him and the city of Durham for wrongful prosecution. Considering the publicity the case has gotten it should be quite a settlement.

[WhiteGuy]

Do I have to spell it out for you? Come on man.

No, you don't.

I still have no idea what you are suggesting.

Never mind

[bassmaner]

So riddle me this, Batman. Why do we as a nation continue to reelect jerks like Mike Nifong?

For the same reason that a jury acquitted O.J. Simpson. And for the same reason Cynthia McKinney was re-elected in 2004. And for the same reason that Charles Rangel, John Conyers, and Maxine Waters continue to run unopposed in their respective congressional districts.

Need I continue?

If only they could get to Mike Nifong personally instead. He needs to be made an example of.

Forty to Forty Five percent of the Sheeple in this country will vote for anyone that has a (D) after his or her name. Need more evidence. Unitl this year, the reelection of Cynthia McKinney. The reelection of Nagin in New Orleans. The constant reelection of Teddy Kenedy. And it goes on and on and on.

I'm convinced these same people would vote for Stalin or Lenin if they ran for office in some parts of this country today. That's what shape this country is in, politically and the GOP just laid down and let it happen.

We need to reinstate the original rules of the Republic - you can only vote if you own a certain significant level of property.

The public school system has achieved its aim of dumbing on the populace.

[.cnI redruM]

It's discouraging. How many people does an idiot like Nagin have to kill before the populace gets a clue?

[.cnI redruM]

I like the idea from Starship Troopers. A mandatory 2 year hitch of military service before you get suffrage or are allowed to seek office.

"Forty to Forty Five percent of the Sheeple in this country will vote for anyone that has a (D) after his or her name."

Not really what's in play here. Nifong is a (D) so he won? No way, bud. He stoked racial and class hatred.

Lot's of folks here just don't get it. White folks generally are not particularly brought to to be "pro-white" or adhere to "rules" pertaining to racial allegiance. If anything, we are taught that is bad. It has been my experience that the exact opposite is true among blacks. Buy black, read black, watch black, talk black, vote black, etc. This is a huge cultural disconnect, I think, that blacks falsely assume whites do as well but whites seem oblivious to this fact about blacks.

That's how these people keep getting elected. In this case, racial allegiance. Not because the man is black but because he was promising what no one else would. Rich white boys heads on a stick. That is the ugly elephant in this room.
