Dixie Notes

Southern Democrats, you leadership has forsaken you. In one move, they’ve managed to expand despisal of “liberal elites” from just Republicans to both their own party, too. I hope y’all aren’t expecting any help from the DNC anytime soon.

I’m subscribed to the Drinking Liberally mailing list. I’m also been subscribed to the GOP mailing list¹. The DL mailing list for Washington, DC just came out with a ringer of an email. They’re promoting this political science professor named Tom Schaller, who is pushing the idea that the Democrats should just write off the whole South, because we’re all racists anyways. You reckon the Hattiesburg, Jackson, Natchez, or New Orleans chapters are going to be discussing this fuckmook?

I guess he doesn’t know that the current Republican front-runner is a darky named Bobby Jindal. The democrats would be lucky if racism caused people to stay at home, but it sure doesn’t look like that’s happening.

If the Southern Democrats accomplish anything over the next couple years, it will be in spite of the DNC, not because of it.

_{I think it was someone I know being a wise-ass, but after a couple sarcasm-laced replies failed to get me unsubscribed, I decided to let it ride, for a laugh. They’re bitching about Clinton’s healthcare proposal right now, if you care}

Quick, fast, simple. It’s rare to see something like this nowadays.

Well, I can’t say I didn’t see that coming. Do we really need a hard-line Catholic who believes in demonic possession as our Governor? This is a man who has gone on record saying he is “100% opposed to abortion in all cases”, including rape, incest, or when the life of the mother may be in danger. Bet you a Dixie note the first thing on his agenda, after requesting the legislature draft a bill banning all forms of stem cell research and abortion, is “cleaning up” New Orleans.

Here’s a non-partisan list of Bobby Jindal’s positions.
Here’s blog coverage of Bobby Jindal’s belief in intelligent design, and Bobby Jindal’s use of racist rhetoric in Jena.

Bobby Jindal is bad has a thorough dissection of the TP’s endorsement.

The Louisiana gubernatorial race is small potatoes. Bobby Jindal should talk to Dobson about being their third-party candidate if Giuliani gets the Republican nomination.
