In elections in the patriotic parts of the country, Democrats keep producing candidates that look like they're out of a Norman Rockwell painting but vote like Karl Marx -- which is to say, they vote like the typical member of the Democratic Party. Naturally, Republicans respond to this tactic by linking the local phonies to the national party.

It is beyond outrageous for liberals to complain about the practice of linking Democrats to the national party when their calculated strategy in race after race in the red states has been to run Democratic candidates who appear to be Americans.They're not Americans. They're liberals! I don't care how much hay is sticking out of their straw hats.
Ann’s column this week, while factual in every way, does not seem to have the usual bite.
Agreed: the the Democraticans are running faux-conservatives and faux-macho guys in a lot a places, but this was much more a failing of the Republican leadership at the national level, than it was of any real resurgence of patriotism by the Democraticans.
But worse, the national leadership of the Republican party apparently has pre-emptively surrendered, not even putting up a token fight at ANY level. John McCain is only the most obvious example of this surrender to the “mushy middle” and total abandonment of whatever few principles still remain in play.
In the election, a self-proclaimed pro-gun and pro-life candidate won.
Prolife and progun wins elections.
But apparently lying to the voters wins too, since this same man endrorses obama, who is rabidly pro-abortion and for the DC gun ban.
“
The ad showed a clip of Obama’s pastor g-damning America and mentioned Obama’s recent remarks ridiculing rural folks for clinging to guns. It then concluded that Childers “took Obama’s endorsement over our conservative values.””
Childers is a g***amn liar or a fool. How can you go around telling people you are prolife and progun and yet endorse such a man??
"On the very day of a special election to fill a vacated congressional seat this week in Mississippi, The New York Times accused the Republican candidate of running racist ads against his Democratic opponent..." - Ann CoulterThat would be, from www.nytimes.com:
Republicans Use Obama as Weapon in House Contest in MississippiSOUTHAVEN, Miss. — Hoping to hang on to a Congressional seat in a tight special election here on Tuesday, Republicans in this mostly white and very conservative district are trying to make the vote more a referendum on Senator Barack Obama than on the candidates themselves.
In advertisements and speeches, Republicans have repeatedly associated Travis Childers, the white Democrat threatening to take the seat away from the Republican Party, with Mr. Obama. Republicans say Mr. Obama’s liberal values are out of place in the district. But for many Democratic veterans here, the tactic is a throwback to the old and unwelcome politics of race, a standby in Mississippi campaigning.
Former Gov. William Winter, a Democrat, expressed shock at the current campaign.
"I am appalled that this blatant appeal to racial prejudice is still being employed," said Mr. Winter, who lost the 1967 governor’s race after his segregationist opponent circulated handbills showing blacks listening to one of his speeches. Mr. Winter went on to win the governor’s office 12 years later.
"I had thought we had gotten past that," Mr. Winter said. "That was a tactic that was used against me in the 1960s..."
-- snip --
...The Republican candidate, Greg Davis, said in an interview he was not raising racial issues, but was instead pointing out that his conservative values made him a better fit for the district.
"We’ve run ads against him with John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi," said Mr. Davis, referring to Mr. Childers. "Just because one of them happens to be African-American has no bearing on it.” Mr. Davis, 42, is a former state representative who is now mayor of Southaven, a fast-growing Memphis suburb...
Since Polar Bears are now on the endangered species list the government should close the New York Times due to their contribution BIG time to global warming and the destruction of the Polar Bear.
I will write my royal members of the Royal 100 Club and ask them to do their sworn duty to protect the bears and close the New York Times due to their contribution to global warming.
bump for later
Just wait until B.O. gets the democRat nomination and the MSM lovefest begins. Anyone who criticizes B.O. for any reason will be immediately branded a racist.
As usual, Ann closes with a bang:
“In elections in the patriotic parts of the country, Democrats keep producing candidates that look like they’re out of a Norman Rockwell painting but vote like Karl Marx — which is to say, they vote like the typical member of the Democratic Party. Naturally, Republicans respond to this tactic by linking the local phonies to the national party.
As soon as the Democrats stop running these mountebanks, Republicans will stop exposing them as lickspittles for their liberal masters in Washington.”
Wasn’t she recently advocating voting for Hillary over McCain since Hillary was closer to conservatives on the issues than McCain was!
Mississippi Ping.
Boy, does Ann have this guy pegged:
“... Travis Childers — another in a long line of fake-American goobers claiming to be “conservative Democrats,” but who get to Congress and promptly vote to ban guns, surrender in Iraq and fund full-term abortions...”
Gotta love this lady.
