1. Uncommitted is right on Dean's heals for 2nd place |
|
The others may not have campaigned in SD for quite a while, but Uncommitted didn't spend a dime in SD.

2. It doesn't matter. They're both losers. Is Kucinich going to be Nader's |
|
running mate?
I suppose he's not running for re-election to the House. Will a real Democrat run?

4. Kucincih is real Democrat, and a great Congressman, and he is running. |

We need more Congressman like Kucinich.

7. Give the Kootch a break, y'all |
|
I like what Dennis says on many issues. He's already said he backs Kerry.
Putting the word Nader in the same sentence as Kucinich is really being insulting.
If anything, a strong LaRouche backing (i.e. miniscule percentage points) shaves off on the Chimp pimp ho's.

Kucinich is a DEMOCRAT! He is bringing greens and progressives back into the democratic party. He is HELPING John Kerry. Are you really that ignorant?

10. Wouldn't suprise me one bit |
|
I used to live in MN's old 2nd Congressional District, which covered the SW corner of Minnesota, which is right next to South Dakota. Demographically, both places are very, very similar. It was one of the least-densely populated CDs in the country. The largest town in the district only had 9,000 people in it.
Back when I lived there, we had a rather large LaRouche contingent living in the district, and they were a very vocal and hostile minority at our conventions.
It seems the LaRouche nutjobs congregate in remote rural areas-- probably easier to put tinfoil around your house and not have the neighbors complain, I'd guess.

16. They were very disruptive |
|
They were bullies, and would disrupt conventions if their platform issues were not accepted into the convention. They harrassed other delegates, and were very hostile and aggressive.
They were a bunch of conspiracy-theory nuts, who were convinced that the Queen of England was an international narco-trafficker who controlled both the US and USSR. One of their great ideas was to drain the Great Lakes to irrigate the desert SW. They also advocated cutting giant icebergs off the polar ice caps and using the water to turn Arizona into a garden.
I can tolerate total whack-jobs (some are my best friends), but not when they're aggressive and threatening violence if they don't get their way.

24. Glad to see they've not changed tactics in 16 years! |
|
My most vivid memory of them is at the 1998 MN Cong Dist 2 convention. They had a candidate running for the DFL endorsement for the US House seat (then occupied by Vin Weber). I remember that they were shoving copies of the New Federalist in everyone's faces, and pushing some LaRouche publication for some ridiculous price.
I actually kept the copy of the New Federalist for a while, because it was so twisted. It was like a glimpse into a very paranoid mind. I remember one article by LaRouche's wife, Helga Zepp, about some great big conspiracy in the music world.
Apparently, a couple of centuries ago, the pitch of the note A was fixed at 440. Before that, it was at 427, or something like that. To most normal people, the difference between these two frequencies is negligible. But ol' Helga wrote two whole pages about how it was a conspiracy to ruin the greatest operatic vocalists of all time, because the A=440 pitch was too high, and was straining their vocal chords, thereby ruining their voices.
Of course the only normal reaction to this would be :wtf:. They're a strange lot.

There was some interesting happenings with LaRouchies in Illinois back in 1986: http://www.prin.edu/users/els/departments/poli_sci/state/state/larouche.htm

27. One of my best friends worked on that race!!! |
|
Yeah, that one was a disaster!!! My friend, who was 16 at the time, was working hard for the endorsed Dems. But wouldn't you know it, the WASPy "Fairchild" and "Hart" won the primary, probably because their names were easier to spell, and looked more "familiar" to many people.
He told me numerous stories about these two, and some of the outrageous things they said ("I hate Jews", from Fairchild, for example). The two REAL Dems had to actually run under a separate party banner that fall; and in a state that tends to vote straight ticket (Dem in Chicagoland, GOP downstate) it completely screwed the Democrats.
The LaRouchees may be putting on a "nice" face this year, but I STILL don't trust them. I was around the party in the 80s, and I know what they're like, and I'm not buying the nice act for a minute.

25. Totally forgot about that |

but you're right, they were there causing a scene as usual. However, I've noticed lately that they've put on a much "sunnier" face than they used to. Sometimes they're actually cordial and friendly, which is really odd for them....

The media told them they HAD TO vote for Kerry.
Or LaRouche. The media just loves LaRouche. Can't you tell by all the coverage they give him?

not very surprising. LaRouche got about 22% of the vote in Arkansas in 2000. He was the only one on the ballot against Gore.
