Hilarious. Bill Clinton was a Southern governor long before he got foisted on the rest of us. Same with Jimmy Carter, another solid son of the South.
Don’t matter where they came from. They are still criminals who got a pass. This tells me alot about you. You assume that the south automatically defends its own. Projection, perhaps?
Jimmy Carter is not a solid son of the South. Neither is Bill Clinton. Both are Democrat Scalawags.
Don’t believe me? Ask them their opinion about the Confederacy. It’s the same as yours, so you should find it to be familiar.
As I noted earlier, neither North nor South has a monopoly on bad politicians, but the North elects more bad ones than the South. Furthermore, the bad ones we elect tend to be skillful liars (i.e. Carter & Bill Clinton) who are able to pose as something they aren’t to get elected and stay in office. Hillary lacks the ability to pose as a conservative, as Bill did for years, so she had to go to New York to run for the Senate.
Carter won the South in the 1976 presidential election, so you can legitimately blame us in part for his election. I say “in part” because Carter also did quite well up North. He was an unknown running as a conservative Democrat and a lot of folks got taken in.
Clinton, however, lost the South in both 1992 & 1996. Even though he was posing as a new type of Democrat we learned from our Carter mistake, so he lost most of the electoral votes down here. In contrast, he swept Yankeedom in both elections.
When another Democrat Scalawag, Al Gore, ran for president in 2000, We saw through him as well. Gore had earlier been elected to the House (1976) and Senate (1984) by running as an opponent of abortion and gun control, and a supporter of a strong national defense. He even sent his wife on the 700 Club to bemoan the moral decay in our society. But he revealed his phoniness and his true nature during his years as Clinton’s VP. The result? He lost every Southern state, including home state Tennessee, but swept Yankeedom.
I’ll repeat that. He swept Yankeedom. Ultra-leftist John Kerry also swept Yankeedom in 2004. And so will Hillary in 2008 if she’s the Democrat nominee.
If you’re a conservative as claimed, isn’t it a shame you’ll have to rely on Dixie as a firewall to prevent Hillary from becoming Commander-in-Chief?
