Put a rebel in Congress?

Here is one of the candidates in the November elections for Congress in Mississippi. Jim Giles (the candidate) wants to "put a rebel in Conress for a change to shake things up".

This might be a breath of fresh air for some. See what YOU think.

There's rebels, there's the rebellious, and then there's those who can't spell. (I just thought I'd say it before a Yankee did.) Frankly, anyone looking for a place in the Federal occupation government is suspicious.

3 names come to mind : Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore. Technically, all 3 of them came from "Rebel" states...

I for one like "dark-horse" candidates in any election ... they're far and away the most entertaining in any open debate.
However, those that base their whole pitch to self-identified "outsiders", those who have been forever unhappy with government, always seem to actually be surprised when those same people remain unhappy with them.
True pessimists take too much comfort in their pessimism to take a chance ruining it by voting for someone that agrees with them.

I like a lot of what he said, but his "Zionist" & semi-anti-Jewish rantings turned me off: especially when it is written w/in the 1st paragraph of his political statement! Altho I personally disagree w/ him on term limits & I consider a national sales tax to be unconstitutional (as well as the 16th Amendment too). I respect him for being proud enuff to show the Stars & Bars on his website.

Sounds like a good guy. Is he independent or what?

That's for the ping. I like Giles views on free trade and states rights. Sounds like an honest man - he doesn't seem afraid to tell it like it is.

Let the great people of Mississippi decide for themselves!

Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore

And not a one of them, except maybe Jimmy, espoused anything close to Southern values. I feel sorry for Carter. He was too nice of a guy to be POTUS and in his old age, he's starting to believe and act out all the crap the liberals spew.

Well that's true. But, as a Virginian, I need to point out that we didn't vote for any of them. We were the only southern state not to vote for Carter and we haven't voted for a RAT in the White House since 1964.

Well, Mississippi's 3rd District is in the East/Central part of the state, so he's out of my area. But Chipper Pickering [whose daddy was the Mississippi Republican Party Chairman, and who served as Trent Lott's legislative aide from '91 to '95] beat out 8 other candidates in the primary last go-around and was challenged in a runoff by Republican Bill Crawford. In the general election, Pickering spent a million and a half dollars against John Eaves and took about 60% of the vote, so Chipper looks pretty safe.

But if Mississippians want to send a message on the state flag issue, gun control or other issues, here's their chance to do so without handing the store over to the socialists.

And best of all, since Giles is using the Confederate battle flag as a part of his campaign, any attempts to censor or restrict it while he's running will constitute suppression of political activity, a felony offense. That could make for some interesting possibilities, especially in Mississippi high schools with voting-age students willing to make a point.

Thanks for the ping. From his site:

If you’re an honest person and not part of the good ole boy network, I want your vote. I especially want the black vote because you normally vote in a bloc for the Democrat who ends up doing nothing for your community except paying off a couple of your phony black leaders.

Doesn't pull punches ;o)

All three of those are what we Southerners call "scalawags". Any of them is about as much a rebel as Arlen Spector is.

[justshutupandtakeit]

How do you make Jimmy Carter out to be a scalawag? Without disemboweling the definition of the word that is.

[Free the USA]

Bump list

[Twodees]

Just shut up and take it, boy.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Like I figured you have no justification for making such a dumb comment which is consistent with you having no knowledge of or regard for the truth.

In fact, Ole Jimmy was not a scalawag (a white southern Republican during Reconstruction) though John Mosby was.

[Twodees]

The term scalawag doesn't mean "white Southern republican, nor has it ever been defined that way. A scalawag is a Southerner who will sell out his state and the people for some money or some power. A scalawag can be white or black, republican, democrat or any other party. All that it takes to be a scalawag is that the person be Southern politician who sells out his home folks.

You're a know it all imbecile, boy. Don't try to correct a Southerner on Southern dialect, or you'll make a bigger fool of yourself than usual.

Just shut up.

Honest to a fault! I believe I would vote for him.
