Landrieu's Reelection Goal: 95 Percent of Black Votes, 30 Percent of White Votes

The Shreveport, LA, Times | 11-10-02 | Hill,John

[Theodore R.]

Ron Faucheux, editor of Campaign and Elections magazine and a LA native, predicted on C-SPAN Sunday that Landrieu would win her general election on Pearl Harbor Day. Faucheux said that the Dec. 7 electorate will not be the same as those who voted on Nov. 5, where there was a national Republican trend brewing. Each election has a different electorate, he explained. Under his reasoning, many Republicans who voted for third-place finisher Rep. John Cooksey, R-LA, may sit out the second race. More blacks may turn out to assist the Democrat, who is now the center of national attention. Undoubtedly, however, the supporters of fourth-place candidate, State Rep. Tony Perkins, are now solidly in the camp of Republican nominee Suzanne Terrell. Perkins opposed Landrieu on nearly every issue and make a strong showing in the debate. However, due to his lack of name ID, youthfulness, and lack of a record, Republican voters chose the better-known Terrell. By the way, Faucheux also predicted victory in MN by former Vice President Walter Mondale, running to succeed Paul Wellstone in the Senate. Faucheux once ran for Congress in LA -- as a Democrat -- and lost.

What a condescending and disgusting formula. The white 'cRAT massas count on keeping the Louisiana Blacks on their plantation.

The question is: will the blacks (and others) come out to vote for will they be Christmas shopping on a Saturday. Can't you see the headline now if Landrieu loses: "Democrats Blame Loss on Christmas Shoppers."

Note to Bush: Send Powell and Condi to Louisiana.

[Theodore R.]

No, Cabinet officials (esp. State, Treasury, Defense, and Justice) and National Security Advisors are not supposed to take part in partisan campaigns. Since Watergate, this has been strongly discouraged by both parties. However, there may have been a few who showed up here and there in what turned out to be a mostly partisan gathering. If Powell or Rice came to New Orleans, the media wiould go ballistic. Their appearances would be counterproductive and would not swing many black voters against Landrieu either. It would be best to confine big-name appearances to Bush and Cheney only (separate appearances). Too many people coming in will, as Rush Limbaugh said, will allow Landrieu to play the "picking on me" card.

I say this all depends on much money Mary Landrieu has left in her war chest to pay off Black ministers (to exhort their congregations) and to pay off Black get_out_the_vote election workers who will ferry her people to the polls and bully people at the ballot boxes.

[cynicom]

Amusing, if any pub candidate said they were sure to poll 95 per cent of the white vote, howls of racism would abound.

Will the blacks ever learn? I think not. The dems are slowly but surely polarizing the American political scene into one of color.

[Tacis]

95% of what blacks? These are democrats; are we taking about dead blacks, only 'live blacks or all blacks, alive and previously alive?

And, the dems continue to rely on the stupidity of blacks to vote for the dems, rather than for themselves. The scene is a slave galley owned and operated by the dems. A dem precinct chairman opens a locked hatch in the deck and blacks, thin and shackled hand and foot, climb out of the hatch, shuffle over to the ballot box where they are handed a ballot by another dem and deposit the ballot in a box marked "dem votes only." The blacks the shuffle over to another hatch on go back down into the darkness.

Sure, there are some fat black race baiters, many of them clergymen, who are fat and happy but what does the average black voter get from the dems? Nothing! They don't get much from the good guys, either, but at least the Republicans don't take them for granted.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

And at this point, Fields says he's unsure what he will do with his organization in the runoff.

I have an idea that includes running off of a very high cliff.

[A2J]

I believe that the key here will be whether whites will feel the need to vote.

I don't think the blacks will be energized at all, but if whites stay home and Landrieu heavily carries New Orleans, she will win.

[A2J]

Can't you see the headline now if Landrieu loses: "Democrats Blame Loss on Christmas Shoppers."

Would they then sue Santa?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

They don't get much from the good guys, either, but at least the Republicans don't take them for granted.

No, not much, other than the Emancipation Proclaimation and the right to vote.

[KLT]

You seem to have it right...here in NY...95% of blacks vote RAT....I personally don't get it!

But I can only guess they enjoy the imaginary handouts...Because the RATS talk a good game, but deliver little...Unless you give them huge campaign donations...

The Democrat Party = The party of Racial Division.

[fortheDeclaration]

Did Mr. Faucheux predict that the Republicans would pick up the Senate this election?

If he didn't, his opinions are just that opinions.

Republicans are itching to vote against Landrieu who stole the last election.

Landrieu will not get 95% of the black vote or 30% of the White.

What do the blacks have to gain by voting for her?

What do they care which white woman is a Senator?

[hoosiermama]

Thinking of the same line......SEND CONDI! Have here repaet again and again the story of Why her family is republican. Give 'em something to think about!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Get 95 percent of the black vote and 30 percent of the white vote.

In other words, 95% of the black vote for the Democrats, 70% of the white vote for the Republicans. I'm concerned about a body politic that is so racially polarized.

Where does the blame lie? I'd say with a Democrat party that panders to black voters, and horrendous black leadership that reinforces all the worst fears and tendencies of black Americans.

Blast from the past - a Phyllis Shafley column dated 1997

The Senate is finally facing up to the biggest of all the many scandals about last November's elections: the stuffing of the ballot box with fraudulent and paid "votes." The Senate Rules Committee just ordered a full investigation of Mary Landrieu's narrow 5,788-vote victory over Woody Jenkins for U.S. Senator from Louisiana.

And the follow-up exploitative campaign by the gormless Madame Half-a-Brain Jim Brady Brigade and the other bastard offspring of the Communist Party of America -- the ACLU, ABA, Trial Lawyers, Bar Association, AARP, NEA, NOW, NAG et al -- to ban shopping carts and to obtain several Trillions of Dollars of feral-gummint funding to alleviate the underlying cause of Christmas Shopping.
