SANTEE, S.C. - The Rev. Al Sharpton says his run for the White House has something in common with actor Arnold Schwarzenegger's candidacy for governor of California.

"When you have someone that is not a regular politician, somebody who already knows how to be a fighter and one that has stood up to the, quote, system, it attracts people who might have given up," said Sharpton, one of nine candidates vying for the Democratic presidential nomination. "I think that's why Schwarzenegger is getting a reaction because people are tired of people just running for a career move, rather than really stand for something.

"After the 2000 debacle, you need people like me that can bring people back into the process, inspire them to not give up and surrender to their despair," Sharpton said Sunday after a campaign stop at the Chapel Hill Baptist Church here. "If the Terminator can run California, I sure can run the United States."

The only thing Al and Arnold have in common are the initials "A.S."

Arnold is so strong, even Sharpton can try to ride his coattails!

[Redwood71]

He looks like Don King but he wants to be Rocky Balboa.

[blau993]

In the upcoming democratic primary (2004) ...

BIG AL NEEDS OUR HELP NOW MORE THAN EVER!
*** Register as a democrat and vote for Crazy Al! ***

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.

Here is a link to planned 2004 primary dates from the National Association of Secretaries of State:

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, booze, 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. Always send their solicitation back to them with all associated literature in the prepaid envelope included in the mailing. They have to pay that postage upon return. Great way to help them spend money and keep you up to date on their propaganda.

So your saying Al should shove it in his "S" hole?;>

[ChewedGum]

Ouch. Painful truth. It is rather sad to watch as try to use AS as a stepping stone. (not gonna work either)

Gum

[Redwood71]

That may be your opinion. The jury's still out. Personally, I don't know what he is.

[blau993]

Ahem, Red, that was a funny, OK?

See, by calling Al "Frontrunner Al Sharpton" we might get some gullible Dems to believe that and jump on his bandwagon.

And, we get to tweak the liberal media who are always dissing Al, even though he should be their darling.

It's a joke, Red, but don't spread that around, cause it's OUR joke, and we don't want the RATS to find out about it.

[Redwood71]

Of course it's a joke, he's a joke. But conveying he might qualify for "a man" is going out on a limb (let alone the man). You'd probably find it tough to sell that one even to a sheep liberal that only repeats what the NY and LA Times said.

[weikel]

Arnold will win unlike Al.

[goldstategop]

Fat Al you're no Arnold Schwarzenegger!
