The November 3, 1998 Elections
(don't forget to read the caveats!)
I am glad the Republican’s got crushed in the 1998 elections. In Orange County, the election for the 46th Congressional District was between Loretta Sanchez and Bob Dornan. The Bob Dornan supporters and Fong supporters were at a post-election party (or I guess, Post Election Republican Loser’s party) and supposedly Dornan was taking too much time speaking to the rest of the supporters(losers) at the Republican defeat party. Supposedly Dornan took too long giving his loser speech. According to the OC Weekly report on the event:
The man who avoided combat duty and who was once jailed for violent spousal abuse peppered his incoherent remarks with references to "character, D-Day, citizen arrests, "the Beast", talk radio, Martin Luther King Jr., strong women, Newt Gingrich, sexual predators, and the "Antichrist." Despite all the talk, Dornan couldn’t summon the maturity to concede the race to Sanchez. In fact, the man who invented voter-fraud allegations against innocent Latinos to explain his 1996 loss said he would "never" concede.
One of Dornan’s scary daughters, then walked to the edge of the stage, glared at the TV cameras in the back of the ballroom and yelled: "It’s not over Loretta. We’re coming after you – bad. Do you hear me?"
According to other local newspaper reports, "During Dornan’s speech at a
gathering of Republican in Newport Beach, an impatient supporter of state Treasurer Matt
Fong began chanting "Fong, Fong, Fong", apparently because the Senate candidate
was scheduled to take the podium next. Offended by the outburst, Dornan’s son, Bob
Dornan Jr., approached the Fong group and demanded, ‘Show some class’. The
confrontation briefly brought the younger Dornan’s sister into the mix, but a
California Highway Patrol officer quickly dragged her aside. That, in turn, sparked a
shoving match between the officer and Kate Dornan’s boyfriend, Pete Caroline, who was
wrestled to the ground and handcuffed. Newport Beach police later arrested Caroline. As
the tussle raged at the side of the stage, Republicans in the packed ballroom tried to
drown out the noise of the melee by singing, "God Bless America".
My Opinion on this: And the Republicans wonder why they lost the election? Would you want
people these people representing YOU? They can’t even get along in their own damn
party. How are they going to get any unity in their city/state/district between people of
different opinions/ethnic backgrounds? They are so out of touch with reality is it
incredible.
Jesse "The Body" Ventura’s stunning win in Minnesota
I am glad that Jesse beat out the Democratic nominee and the Republican nominee for
governor. You might come to the conclusion that the Minnesota voters think politicians
suck, and the voted for someone who doesn’t have the "characteristics" of a
politician. A sample quote from Jesse, "A vote for Jessie Ventura, is a Vote for
Jessie Ventura". HA HA HA.
NBC's Tom Brokaw asked him if he should be addressed as "Governor Jesse Ventura, or
Governor Jesse 'The Body' Ventura." HA HA HA.
Mr. Ventura ran as the Reform party candidate. He asked Ross Perot for help with the
campaign, since Ross is one of the money guys for the Reform party. Ross said
"No". Jesse won anyway. HA HA HA. Ross, you loser, maybe you should watch and
listen to Jessie, maybe you will learn something about winning and inspiring voters
instead of looking like a fricking wacko. Rumor has it that many Republicans are trying to
get their WWF certification.
When the Republican candidate was informed that with half the votes counted, Ventura was
leading, the Republican loser said, "We're just coming around the corners. I think
they're going to be showing a Humphrey victory." After all the votes were counted,
the local newspaper’s chief political reporter said that the next day, neither
the Republicans nor the Democrats could be found, that they all went into hiding. HA HA
HA. Better yet, can you imagine some of the people who were ragging on Jesse as
being a ridiculous candidate, now have to work with him and suck up to him now that he is
governor?
Impeach the President?
Perhaps instead of worry about someone else’s sex life, those Republican
bastards who are screaming for impeachment could get back to running the fucking country,
and making it a better place for us to live. If anything, with all the money we are paying
them, those politicians should be doing volunteer community service for the poor and
needy, instead of wasting thousands of hours reading up on impeachment laws and consensual
sex allegations and trying to bring down the guy who is heading up America. Think of it
like a team sport. America vs. the rest of the world. Why are these boneheads trying to
bring down the guy who is LEADING OUR TEAM? Especially when our team is winning
economically…..and our team is still recognized as the leader of the free world. Would you fire the captain of your sports team halfway through
the season if your team was winning and kicking ass on other teams across the globe?
Also, check out Vincent Bugliosi's huge article on "Kenneth Starr's War
Against America", where the ex-Manson Prosecutor(who won 105 out of 106 felony jury
trials) in this month's Penthouse Magazine. (Note: I cut out the articles, and I
throw the rest of the magazine out) explains "how the so-called independent
counsel and his right-wing supporters are trashing our traditional and fundamental
freedoms in their attempts to destroy the president." The quote from the
magazine is that Vincent " basically launches a full bore attack on the Court and
particularly on Starr for his "outrageous legal tactics," asserting that the
independent counsel "is a disgrace to prosecutors everywhere".. Now you
got a legitimate reason to buy a copy of Penthouse. Tell the wife that "PULP
made me do it". But seriously, it is a really good article. It doesn't
Suck!
