"“To be very, very honest with you, the South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans,” she said. “It’s been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. It’s not always been a good place for women to present ourselves. It’s more of a conservative place, so we’ve had to work a little bit harder on that.”
The two basic truths of Life: There is a God. He isn't me.
"Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a possible contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, called the comments “remarkably divisive,” and Republican Rob Maness, who is also running against Ms. Landrieu, called for an apology."
Divisive? Nothing wrong with that if you're one of them. They feed on divisive.
"Black racism is the toxic glue that holds the ‘progressive’ coalition together.”
"It’s the politics of envy, anger, entitlement, lawlessness, violence, and bald-faced lies.”

Maybe Mary Landrieu should take a page from Hillary when looking for the vote down South.

"A desperate Mary Landrieu smears the state she represents"
Article in the New Orleans Times-Picayune
"Things must be going even worse for the Democrats than the polls suggest. The campaign of incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., for example, has hit rock bottom.
How else to explain her lame attempt to blame her electoral peril on racism and sexism? Modern illiberals are incapable of thinking their record or their ideas could lead to misfortune...
Landrieu's opponents properly lambasted her shallow and mean spirited rhetoric. U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who holds a narrow lead in the race, urged Landrieu to spend less time insulting her home state.
Cassidy and retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness stressed there are very good reasons Landrieu's bid for a fourth term is in jeopardy, and they have nothing to do with racism or sexism.
"Maybe if Sen. Landrieu actually lived in Louisiana, she would know that the reason why she and President Obama are so unpopular is because of the policies they support and the big government agenda they have imposed on Louisiana's working families," Maness wrote in a statement. "Quite frankly, Sen. Landrieu owes the people of Louisiana an apology for relegating them to nothing but racists and sexists."
Correct. But don't hold your breath on that apology."

Let's HOPE so!!!
BUT DANG!!!
Isn't that the truth? always blaming failure on others?
When my Lib friends agenda fails in the public marketplace it's because of the Koch Brothers or this intransigent "so-nothing" Congress or racial prejudice or the greedy power mongers controlling the message. They don't get it when the American people deal them a rejection.
I point out that they're disrespecting the American voter, that the "do nothing" Congress was put there, elected!!!BY THE PEOPLE!!! to thwart their dopey One's agenda. But they cannot comprehend that whole concept as possible.
They really believe that they are righteous and we are corrupt. If they accept their failure as the will of the people THAT would be giving in to big money and its corrupt manipulative politicians. What else could it be?
I hate it!! There's no use arguing with them. Their facts are gleaned from the partisan likes of MoveOn and Robert Reich and the Candy Crowley School of Journalism.
This is a damn sickness!!!
