"Useless idiot"

#3 But even she voted against the motion after Fonda herself tried to have it withdrawn to avoid controversy. A Republican leader forced the vote to go ahead, saying members of his party wanted to go on record against it.

Had a "Murtha moment," did she? LOL! I heard Sen. Douglas on local radio (I live in ATL too) and he was hot! In between this, her ties to the UN, and heck, her ties to Ted Turner, I'm soooo glad that common sense reigned in this matter. What a smackdown of a vote, too! Why must everyone think it's o.k. to forgive over idiots like this during Vietnam? There's no SOL (Statute of Limitations) on treason in my book. Funny that this, and the recent arrest of a Vietnam marine deserter in Idaho (he volunteered, then skipped the country to Canada, of course, and was recently arrested re-entering the US in Idaho, taken to Camp Pendleton, but no charges are forthcoming) hit at the same time. The marine deserter was discussed last night on O'Reilly, and Col. Hunt was fuming mad and pissed at the Canuk "immigration attorney" who was trying to say that it makes no sense to charge him 35+ years later with this. Col. Hunt smacked that atty down and hard! I loved it, and O'Reilly lit into him too!

#4 Now we need a Feingold moment. These libs need to be held up to ridicule. It is the best way to get them to realize they are the minority and they need to be careful about running their mouths now.

#5 The only yes vote was from JONES, Democrat, 10TH District. Jones
He should be removed from his committee position of Veterans and Military Affairs. It's outrageous that he's allowed to sit there!

#6 I'm sure Jones is now cast out and will silently end his tour and go back to the farm he came from. Jane does not concider what she does a betrayal to America, watch the interviews. She feels she crossed the "military", not America. She still does not get it! I say hi to her, her decal anyway, every morning when I get rid of my morning coffee!

#7 Nope, not likely to be going back to the farm. His district is the middle of the LLL/moonbat central here in "the ATL." Same area that's home to Cynthia McKinney (D-Looneyville) unfortunately. However, I would note that the area is changing (has been large majority black there for some time) for the better. One of the up and coming (middle class) areas for blacks around the ATL. Just that some will never vote for a "R" no matter what their moonbat Rep/Senator says or does.

#8 To bad for Atlanta there BA. It's a nice town. I can only hope the rest of the politico's in power drown out his stupidity.

#9 Pretty much, outside of that district (DeKalb County, if you're familiar with this area), the rest of Georgia (and even Atlanta) is as red as can be, with the exception of a few smaller, urban areas, like Macon, Albany, Valdosta, etc.

I'd note that down south of Atlanta in Fayette County, you have one of the wealthiest, majority black suburban areas in the country. In fact, Fayette County had a higher median income than any other county in GA, and at one time (may still be too), Fayette was the richest, majority black county in the country. And, it is a VERY conservative area. The ATL area is interesting...lots of blacks here that are movin' on up to the middle class, and many speculate that their politics will change very soon. A win/win in my book.

#10 The demographics of Fayette County, Fayetteville, Peachtree City and surrounding area are indeed changing, but it is not yet predominately minority. Peachtree City is a planned community which began in the late 1960's, but really did not take off until the late 1970's and early 80's. It is similar to Reston, VA. It was built around golf courses and lakes and is connected via cart paths. Fayette County is populated by farmers, Delta employees and retirees who are commonly referred to by the natives as "Delta Yankees." Fayette County is also home to many military retirees, and folks who used to live closer to Atlanta, but moved southward to avoid crime, poor schools, and declining housing markets. In Peachtree City and Fayette County the demographics are indeed chaning. Crime is on the increase and graffiti and trash are now found on the cart paths. Things be a changin.

#11 I thought Albany was infraRed.

#12 Ahl-been-EEE may be red, 6, I'm not sure. I just know that there are some very ROUGH parts to those towns I listed...typical Demo/LLL strongholds.

And, EG1382, thanks for that correction. I thought about that after I posted, and I shouldn't have insinuated it was Majority-minority without facts. However, it is changing, and according to friends who live in P'tree City, and study this type stuff, it is supposedly one of the highest income (close to majority) minority areas in the country.

#13 No problem. It is indeed true that wealthy minorities are moving there which will eventually impact the local politic. They are moving south for the same reason everyone else moved south and away from Fulton County years ago.
