Something that happened in 2000 shows why the media is attacking his black support.
http://www.nprsucks.com/links.htm
"A local NAACP official has been suspended after urging members to support Republican George Allen in Virginia's U.S. Senate race. Paul C. Gillis was stripped of his post as Suffolk branch president last month by Kweisi Mfume, national president and chief executive officer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In a letter, Mfume accused Gillis of violating NAACP policies against partisan political activity."

Lots of connections with the old lone star and the bonnie blue not surprising give many texicans came from the old southwest
Indeed. And there are even more *Bonnie Blue* similarities to the earlier Texas *Independence Flag* of Captain William Scott.
And when in November of 1835 the outnumbered Texians sent out an appeal for help against the Mexican army, the *Georgia Battalion* was organized in that state, drawing men from small towns and large. Their *Troutman* flag reversed the colors of the *Bonnie Blue,* with a blue star on a white background:
There's always been a solid link between the southern states of the USA and the Texas nation.

I'm asking a simple question, Why can't any of you confederate flag defenders condemn the people that did the most damage to the honor of the south, that of course being the Democrats? Actually, I'd have said instead that Andrew Jackson and his New Democratic Party of the 1828 election might well have been the root cause, or at least the example, for much of the political [if ever-pragmatic!] corruption to follow in the South. But there were certainly equal ills among the anti- monarchical Whigs opposing the man they called King Andrew the First.
Perhaps that's why Jackson's portrait is on the 20-dollar bill, the going price for a bought vote through much of the XIX and XX Century.

Campaigning for the Senate four years ago, former Virginia Gov. George Allen stated he favored keeping in place the federal semi-auto ban, saying his goal in "fighting criminals was to enforce, not repeal, existing laws."

What's not to understand?
He was for the 'Assault Weapons Ban" before he was against it.
Is that statement inaccurate?

EV is a Keyster.
Unless Allen turns his back on a gay child or favors reparations for Michael Jordan, as Keyes does, he won't get EV's endorsement. No candidate will, unless EV can snag a paying position on his campaign gravy train.

I've caught onto that. But I think the spelling is "keister."

Hey, while I've got you here, and since you seem to have access to the Allen staff ping list, maybe you could finally answer my question from days ago:
Does Allen support abortion up "until brain waves commence" or is it actually "until viability"?
There are, as you know, sources quoting him that could leave a person believing either...
