Boy he's not helping the GOP's image any is he? Gee I wonder what Republican leaders think of him representing the party?

i was particularly enamored of this line:

while campaigning, hart sometimes wears a protective vest and carries a .40-caliber pistol

give us your loons, your miscreants, your lynch mobs huddled together around a noose yearning for strange fruit...and we'll put 'em on the ticket!

As Tennessee is relatively close to West Virginia, perhaps he and Senator Byrd could get together and form a bi-partisan ticket. The ex-KKK Democratic senator sounds right up his ally. If the Republicans can weather Dukes, this won't amount to much.

besides, chances are he'll shoot someone before it gets to election day and be killed in prison while awaiting trial...uh, i mean, maybe the people will come to their senses first.

Next thing we know he'll propose measuring everyone's skull to determine college admissions. Hooray for Victorian "science."

What really disturbs me is what people say on the Reply feature to the article. Are people actually that dumb or are they just looking for attention? Take one look at that and you'll be thankful for just about every poster on BWW.

Hell, in Illinois we are probably going to have Allan Keyes running against Barak Obama.

Yes, the republicans have found a black man who is against freedom of choice, affirmative action, welfare, increased funding of public education, funding of the arts, etc.

He's also never lived in the state of Illinois a day in his life...

Wow. I couldn't even get past the subject lines. There is such a thing as an overly public forum.
