Don't Waste Your Money In The Louisiana Run-Off.......
Edited on Tue Nov-25-08 05:13 PM by Double_Talk_Express
This morning the DCCC sent our a scary e-mail: "Dick Cheney's Last Stand." It's a fundraising e-mail to Democratic activists begging for money to fight "radical conservative John Fleming in the upcoming special election in Louisiana's 4th District." And John Fleming is a radical conservative. The DCCC shill on the other hand is just a plain garden variety conservative. If the DCCC had any respect for Democratic activists they might say something about the Democratic candidate, Paul Carmouche, not just about Cheney and Fleming.

On his own website, Carmouche emphasizes that he is "100% pro-life" and "100% pro gun." His words. The rest of his issues page could pretty much belong to a Republican, a Democrat or a Martian-- boiler plate verbiage about helping the middle class. And Paul wants to get out of Iraq "but we must do so with honor." The DCCC can shove this one up its ass. There's every reason to believe that Carmouche is likely to be as bad a member of Congress as the just-defeated Don Cazayoux, also from Louisiana and also a reactionary Democrat. Cazayoux won the special election last year because African-American voters in Baton Rouge trusted that he would vote like a Democrat. When they were disappointed to see him get into Congress and start voting with the GOP over and over, they refused to support him and he lost his seat to a right-wing Republican loon.

Louisiana's 4th CD is 33% African American but many recognize Carmouche for what he is and the latest polling shows that African Americans will make up only 22% of the voters in the special election. That's smart thinking because Carmouche is far more likely to be a drag on the Democratic Party's agenda for change than a help with it.
