I met Edwin when he got out jail at a fundraiser. It's weird when he was released from jail people acted like he just got back home from vacation. That's how much people in Louisiana love Edwin Edwards.Silly Burrito posted:We're all related here, don't you know that? What part of the State are you in?

I'm from St Rose (St Charles), but I've lived in Baton Rouge since 2008. Christ it's been longer than I thought. I'm in Denham Springs (Livingston, the Meth capitol of Louisiana!) now though. I used to think I'd move, but now I've got this mortgage. I'm going to be watching Cen Lamar's twitter for most of my election news, what about you guys?

If anyone likes watching live election coverage of the Louisiana races, here's a good link: http://www.wafb.com/story/30341936/watch-live-oct-24-2015-election-night-coverage-poll-results I do like that one of our candidates for Attorney General is literally named Baloney.

http://www.examiner.com/article/donald-trump-supporter-assaults-hispanic-protester-drags-and-kicks-himquote:Joining seven other student protesters from Florida International University, Ariel Rojas held up a joint sign that spelled out "Equality." Within moments, a crowd of Trump supporters grabbed their signs, ripped them away, and tore them to pieces. One of the supporters allegedly held up a sign reading, "The Silent Majority Supports Trump," and clobbering a fellow FIU student protester in the head with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXl3uZ9Fc_o The face of the right Every video I've found is shittily edited so that's the best you've got tl;dr

What stood out to me in wikipedia was: Saturday services Dietary restrictions "Judgement is totally happening next Saturday!" literally every week When you die, you are merely asleep until judgement day, your soul is an inseparable part of you and doesn't float away to wherever The "wicked" don't go to hell, they're simply destroyed Comparatively hyper-conservative dress and lifestyle So yeah, the kook factor is higher than most, and it does have significant differences from other denominations. Funny thing, though, is their doctrine is cool with abortion for health reasons, which we could see a RINO attack on Carson for from a desperate candidate.

At that time, it was apparently an enforcer who had been with the D for a very long time, showed great loyalty, huge loyalty and dispensed with any of my nay-sayers with aplomb. *edit* I'm not sure what happened there. I'm sorry.

I think someone has to get above 50% to win which the dem candidate isn't expected to get. One of the republicans will win it in run off elections.

Most of Bernie's speech at tonight's JJ dinner will be "I was right, she was wrong".quote:After I came to Congress, corporate America, Wall Street, the administration in the White House and virtually all of the corporate media pushed for passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement. I didn’t believe their arguments. It didn’t make sense to me then that American workers should compete with people making a fraction of our wages. I also opposed CAFTA and Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China. History proved me right. Since 2001 we have lost nearly 60,000 factories in this country and millions of decent-paying jobs.
