Dumb things Democrats say
"The only difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is that the Democrats allow the poor to be corrupt, too."
-- Oscar Levant (1906 - 1972)
I hope you enjoyed laughing at the silly, dumb, and plain irrational things our president has said in public forums. He surely provides a lot of fodder for those of us who like to keep up with public servants speaking oddly. As I promised last week, here is a compendium of Democrats speaking strangely. I am certain you will notice several are politicians from the great state of Louisiana.
"You can give to my campaign early, and have great input into my administration. Or you can give to my campaign late, and have good government."
-- While I cannot verify that Huey Long, former governor and former U.S. Senator from Louisiana, actually said this, I have given him credit for it for so long if he didn't say it, he should have.
"Hard work is damn near as overrated as monogamy."
-- Same guy, but this one is verified.
"African Americans watch the same news at night that ordinary Americans do."
-- Bill Clinton, former president of the United States, on Black Entertainment Television. Which one of us is ordinary, Mr. President?
"I should have had a circuitous answer that was a non-answer."
-- Geraldine Ferraro, 1984 V.P. nominee on her intended replies to media inquiries about her family's finances. I think I know why she lost.
"I consider myself 40 percent Catholic and 60 percent Baptist. but I'm in favor of every religion, with the possible exception of snake-chunking. Anybody that so presumes on how he stands with Providence that he will let a snake bite him, I say he deserves what he's got coming to him. "
-- Earl Long, former three-time governor of Louisiana, and younger brother to Huey Long.
"The kind of thing I'm good at is knowing every politician in the state and remembering where he itches. And I know where to scratch him."
-- Earl Long
"I remember you telling me earlier today that you were looking forward to not talking much today. I was looking forward to it, too."
-- Randy Ewing, Louisiana state senator, to Louisiana state senator John Hainkel. You just have to love those Cajun politicos.
"He's a brilliant actor, but what makes Republicans think he could do well in politics? Of course, it's hard to argue with Arnold when you're hanging upside down by the ankles."
-- Teddy Kennedy speaking about Arnold Schwarzenegger running for governor of California.
"The best audience is intelligent, well-educated, and a little drunk."
-- Alben Barkley, V.P. of the United States, 1949-1953. He's probably right.
"I don't like bipartisan. Whenever a fellow tells me he's bipartisan, I know that he's going to vote against me."
-- Give 'em hell Harry Truman, president of the United States, 1945-1953. Do you know who one of his V.Ps were?
"They may be just as intelligent as you say. But I'd feel a helluva lot better if just one of them had ever run for sheriff."
-- Lyndon Johnson, president of the United States, 1963-1969, on the important advisers to President John Kennedy.
"It was the black vote that decided the 2000 elections Clarence Thomas."
-- Carol Moseley Braun, 2004 presidential candidate. Clarence Thomas is an African-American Supreme Court justice who rendered a decision in favor of President Bush to decide the winner of the Florida vote. One of my favorite quotes from any of the candidates this year.
"Maybe it's at a level my brain can't reach."
-- Zell Miller, former two-time governor of Georgia, and current senator. What level would that be?
"Are you big enough to make me, you, you little wimp? ...I dare you, you little fruitcake!"
-- Pete Stark, congressman from California, after having been told to "shut up" by Colorado Republican Congressman Scott McInnis. Now that's bipartisanship in action.
"I'm an elderly gentleman. I haven't been in a fight involving bodily contact in 60 years. Look, I fall trying to put on my underwear in the morning."
-- Pete Stark trying to deny he threatened another member of Congress with physical violence. Can you say "spin?"
"A bureaucrat is a Democrat who holds some office that a Republican wants."
-- Harry Truman.
"I'm for anybody from Chicago coming to New York."
-- Hillary Rodham Clinton, senator from New York (raised in Chicago) on the possible trade of Chicago Cubs slugger, Sammy Sosa, to the New York Yankees. At least she's honest.
"I could not lose unless I was caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
-- Edwin W. Edwards, former governor of Louisiana when asked about his chances of winning against the Republican candidate, David Duke, a former grand wizard of the KKK.
And finally, my very favorite:
"My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference."
-- Harry Truman
I hope you have enjoyed these as much as I. Next week we will return to topical commentary.
--Roger Kahn owns a cattle farm in White and was a candidate for the 11th Congressional District.

bttt
Are you Roger Kahn?
Found this article on Roger Kahn, seems some are confused about what party he represents.
Why is Roger running for congress? We're not really sure. We're not really sure how he decides which party to run with. Roger seems to like Florida Republicans just fine - but given the problems Florida Democrats have figuring out how to vote, we can somewhat understand that! Roger seems to like Democrats in Georgia so much he even contributed to them while he lived in Florida. From what we can tell, he was such a strong supporter he even sat on the Georgia Board of Elections as one of their appointees while he was still living in Florida! Of course, it is illegal to sit on such a board unless you are an actual resident of the state - but Democrats don't usually worry about such things. In any case, Roger did ultimately move to Georgia where he resided in Metro-Atlanta's upscale home of the rich and not-too-famous - Buckhead. Somewhere along the way Roger decided he wanted to be a congressman, so he purchased land in the 7th Congressional District and declared himself a cattle farmer. He wasn't really riding around on horses driving cattle to the barn. He just needed it so he could claim residency in the district when he ran against Bob Barr. Roger did run and lost to Barr. Luckily for Roger, the Democrats redrew the district lines - creating a new district where Roger could run yet again ... this time in the 11th Congressional District. Between elections Roger had his property developed and can now claim to actually live in the district ... assuming he isn't actually living in Buckhead like he was in the 2000 race for the 7th! Not to worry where Roger lives, because if he should win he'll be going to Washington! Got that straight now? He lived in Florida while participating as a political appointee in Georgia. He moved to Buckhead and ran as a rural Georgian in the 7th Congressional District in 2000 despite living in Buckhead. He lost and is now running in the 11 th Congressional District where, if he wins, he'll get to go to Washington! That's as clear as his political principles are. http://www.advcomsys.com/Kahn/
THAT is the only rational sentence that Ferraro ever said!
-- Geraldine Ferraro, 1984 V.P. nominee on her intended replies to media inquiries about her family's finances. I think I know why she lost.

I will tell you what level Zell Miller's brain can not reach, it is the low lying , bottom of the barrel, that is lower that whales poop in the Bottom of the Ocean that most Liberals Live on. Zell Miller is so far above Democrats , that he can not even comprend, who low they are.... AS DO WE ALL, HERE ARE FREE REPUBLIC.

MARIETTA — In the hotly contested District 11 race, a pair of last-minute endorsements from former President Bill Clinton failed to sway residents to vote for Buddy Darden.
To help Darden defeat millionaire Bartow County cattle rancher Roger Kahn in the Democratic primary, Clinton made a recorded phone call sent to 17,000 houses and a radio endorsement, both of which targeted black voters.

Ex-candidate Kahn's ranch site of bird poisoning
Associated Press
CARTERSVILLE, Ga. - The attorney for former congressional candidate Roger Kahn says the Democrat is cooperating with state and federal authorities investigating more than 3,000 dead birds on his Bartow County cattle ranch.
Authorities have gathered 3,270 dead birds, including doves, ducks, geese, blackbirds, grackles and hawks, from the ranch and nearby property.
Lisa Doty, a spokeswoman for the state Wildlife Resources Division, said there have been no reports of deaths further up the food chain such as possums, raccoons or dogs.
A black tarp covers remnants of pesticide-tainted corn found Jan. 22 on the edge of a pond on several hundred acres owned by Kahn Cattle Co. in the community of White, Doty said. The tarp is to prevent more wildlife from getting to it, she said.
In a statement released by attorney David Vaughan of Cartersville, Kahn said he "was greatly saddened to learn of the loss of numerous birds on or around my ranch here in Bartow County." He said he will "cooperate in every way with federal and state wildlife officials."
A neighbor of Kahn's reported a large number of dead birds in her yard Jan. 21. Results of tests to determine the type of poison may be available as early as Monday, Doty said.
Kahn lost to Republican Phil Gingrey in the November election for the 11th District congressional seat.

Seems this Kahn Guy who came up with all of these quotes from Democrats, Is himself a Democrat, who has lost numerous times to Republicans. Even a pal of Clinton.
NOT knowing anything about that particular candidate, but describing a politician as not knowing which party to run under, to me, shows an independent mind stuck in a political system that only alludes to freedom of choice by effectively barring all 'outsiders' from running for public office.
Notice I said EFFECTIVELY - this means when it suits their purpose (dems & reps alike) they allow a third party to join in the election process and they BOTH proceed to ridicule the outside representative and destroy the will of another "outsider" from attempting to truly represent Americans.
Vote ALL incumbents OUT OF OFFICE! They are ALL mostly lawyers or puppets of lawyers.
We will take our country back!
Roger Kahn, I doubt this once liberal Democrat has changed.
What happened to the 3rd 4th and 5th repeats of the article?
Liquor Distributor Roger inherited his wealth in the form of a liquir distribution business he operated from Buckhead until recently - moving to the district to run for congress. He purchased a "ranch" and didn't begin construction on a house after he began his run for congress!
Where to vote? Roger was a member of the Georgia Elections Board illegally, appointed by the Democrats. At the time of his appointment he lived in Florida and, usually, voted in Georgia. Apparently some Florida voters aren't even sure what state to vote in!
Elder Abuse? Roger admits his involvement with a Jewish Elder Care home. What he doesn't talk about is the loss of certification by Medicare due to patient neglect amidst charges of patient abuse. Some charge he was more interested in profit than caring for the patients!

Kahn Ran as a Democrat in 2002....http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.asp?storyid=23211 : 10/24/2002 2:52:53 AM
The race for the newly drawn 11th District between Republican Phil Gingrey and Democrat Roger Kahn has become increasingly bitter as the election draws ever closer.
Kahn admits he checked a box on a form saying he was a Republican while he lived in Florida. "It was a mistake," he said. Meanwhile, Darden said that fact was common knowledge and he only asked a friend in the Sunshine State to verify it.
"I've been a good Democrat," Kahn said, claiming he has donated to Democratic gubernatorial candidates for nearly 40 years. I've supported many Democrats -- including Buddy when he ran against Bob Barr. And he supported me when I ran against Barr, too."
