Interesting story on George Allen.

[areafiftyone]

Actually I don't think Allen has a racist past I just think he wanted to be Redneck Southerner and he created a whole persona around it. I think the only thing that should be looked at about Allen is his record in the Senate and as Governor.

From his back pocket, he removes a tin of Copenhagen--"the brand of choice for adult consumers who identify with its rugged, individual and uncompromising image," according to the company--and taps a fat wad of the tobacco between his lip and gum using an impressive one-handed maneuver.

He CHEWS?? :-D OH MY GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWD! The LameStream Press will have a fit over that fact!! LOL!!!

I'm likin' George Allen more already. :)

[Recovering_Democrat]

As the GOP has grown increasingly adept at turning elections into contests about style and character rather than issues and ideas...

LOL. A typical liberal worldview...that is why they'll keep losing big elections. I love seeing them delude themselves.

Senator Allen is no phoney, he is a real person. Authentic. Which is more than can be said for the author of this hit piece.

We're suppose to forgive and forget yesterdays transgressions comitted by adult Democrats and yet hold grudges against the youthful indiscretions of Republicans committed 25 years ago.

Allen will be the nominee. I think Romney is more qualified but it will be impossible for a ormon to get elected. Maybe the VP sot although I think Allen Rice oar Allen Pawlenty would be a better ticket.

its not the fact that he's a mormon that'll stop him, its the pro-abortion, pro-universal health care issues that'll sink him.

[AmishDude]

Getting a Mormon in the WH would be tough but not impossible. Getting a liberal Republican Mormon from Massachusetts into the WH is impossible. You're right, though, I don't see how he can't be the nominee.

[areafiftyone]

I think the problem with Allen is that he created his whole persona it's not genuine. I think the problem is that the Republican party also helped in making him that way too. BUT that being sai, If this is all they can find on Allen - it will blow over. But he should chill out with the redneck stuff - its a turn off to alot of folks and only creates controversy when there is none.

A hit piece on Allen. He will be in a relatively tough race against Jim Webb. The New Republic and the Dems would like to see Allen defeated in 2006, or at the very least, be in a close race in order to derail his 2008 Presidential plans. This is the opening salvo of the 2006 campaign meant to paint Allen as a racist, pseudo-Southerner. Look for the picture of him wearing a Confederate flag pin in his high school yearbook to be widely distributed in the urban areas of Virginia.

The Dems are fighting dirty this time around so be prepared.

What do you base that assertion on?

[kabar]

...this time around? The Dems always fight dirty. They invented large scale voter fraud.

[areafiftyone]

The leftists are doing the same thing to Rudy too. You notice the only one they don't touch is McCain? How is Allen doing in the Virginia senate race by the way?

[Vaquero]

Shad Planking?

Isnt that what Rosie O'Donut and Ellen DiGenerate do?

[areafiftyone]

Did you read the article about his childhood? That is where I based it on.

Senator George Allen is the only person in Virginia who wears cowboy boots.

Oh, horse...poopie...thousands of Virginians wear cowboy boots.

Thanks for posting this. I wasn't about to register with them online to post it. I think we'll see a lot of this kind of hit piece.
