Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) appeared on Crossfire last night to discuss his endorsement of the 'Reverand' Al Sharpton.

CNN's Paul Begala: 'Congressman Serrano, are you presently under a doctors care or on medication for any reason? I mean are you nuts , sir? As a Democrat who loves his party, are you our of your mind?

Serrano: 'I could be, due to the fact I am appearing on this show talking to you, but other than than I am doing fine.'

Tucker Carlson: Have you taken a lot of grief from your fellow Democrats for your heroic actions? (endorsing 'Crazy Al')

Serrano: Absolutely not. I am very serious and people will nod in quiet agreement that my party has become a mini Republican Party and that Al Sharpton put forward issues of racial profiling, of help for minorities, for poor working whites who somehow never got attention from the major parties.

And if they are not involved in the process, those issues will never be discussed. So Number 1, I am hopeful that he will get the 2004 Democrat nomination. But in the process, he will make my party behave like the party that I joined when I was 15, 16 years old and that is the Democratic Party.

I notice in your pic he's wearing white shoes.

Are you sure he's not secretly a Republican.

;^)

If KS had a presidential preference election I'd change parties and vote for Al just for the fun of it!

[Oorang]

How quickly we forget. If you are voting democrat age nor actual existence matters.

[SwinneySwitch]

"Al needs to lose a few pounds to become 'Boy Wonder!"

I was thinkin' of him as a child preachin' prodigy!

[Howlin]

CNN's Paul Begala: 'Congressman Serrano, are you presently under a doctors care or on medication for any reason? I mean are you nuts , sir? As a Democrat who loves his party, are you our of your mind?

And that's how he treats his FRIENDS, people.

In the upcoming democratic primary (2004) ...

BIG AL NEEDS OUR HELP! - Register as a democrat and vote for Crazy Al!

Rev. Al Sharpton is officially running for president in 2004.

During the May 3, 2003 demoncrap debate in Columbia, S.C., our man Al stated “The way to move a donkey is to slap the donkey,” and “I’m going to slap the donkey until the donkey kicks”.

Let’s help Crazy Al slap the donkey until it kicks.

Assume GW has the Republican nomination sewn up. Its time for all good republicans, libertarians, and independents to stand up and be counted. Lets take a page from Sen. McCain’s play book. Prior to the 2004 democratic presidential primary in your state, re-register as a democrat and vote for Al Sharpton!

Wouldn’t it be great if Crazy Al won! At the very least, lets ensure he gets prime time speaking rights at the 2004 nationally televised democratic convention. You gotta love it. Line up, sign up, and send this to all your like-minded friends.

Check here for the rules governing primary voting in your state: http://www.fec.gov/votregis/primaryvoting.htm

In case you’d like to send Big Al a donation:

Anyone need a bumper sticker or button?

How about an Al Sharpton yard sign?

Oh yea, and don’t forget to call the local demoncrap party headquarters and ask them the following before the primary election:

1. Can I get a ride to the polls – help them spend their money during the primaries so they’ll have less during the national election. Have them take you the scenic route and stop off and do some shopping on the way home.
2. Are you giving anything away free for voting democrat? Cigarettes, box of cigars, box lunch, etc. Ask for two of each.
3. Send 25 cents in the mail to the DNC and watch how much they spend on mailing you to give to the party. Great way to help them spend money and keep you up to date on their propaganda.
4. Can you think of any other questions we should as them?

[eureka!]

bump for Al...

[RJayneJ]

I was reluctant to register as a Democrat because I didn't want to get all of the Dem junk mail, but you make a compelling case that the more they send to me will help us deplete their funds. So, I have decided that I will make this sacrifice for my country. It's my patriotic duty.

Quote of the Day by GOPJ

[Lawgvr1955]

If Al makes it as far as the Illinois primary, he's got my vote. Heck, I might just sign up to be a delegate for him.

[Libloather]

As a Democrat, are you out of your mind?

Should be put on ballots across the country...

[RJayneJ]

There you go. There is only one thing that could happen to prevent this skulduggery, and that would be McCain deciding to run against Dubya, if he is that devious.

[fightu4it]

Evidently the "forehead" doesn't think much of Mr. Sharpton either.

Well, we have that much in common!

[aristeides]

Speaking of ranking members, have Conyers and Rangel announced yet who they're endorsing?

[Liz]

......I fully plan to pull the lever for the Rev Al come primary day. I cannot wait!!!!.....

Al graciously accepts all endorsements.

"I'll show dat suckah Clintun who de first Black president be."

As a Democrat, are you out of your mind?...... Should be put on ballots across the country...

LOL....And have a psychiatrist at the polls to certify they're non compis mentis.
