Mary Landrieu: Obama and I Are Unpopular in Louisiana Because the South Is Racist and Sexist
2014-10-31
[FREEBEACON] Senator Mary Landrieu said Thursday she thinks one of the reasons she is losing her campaign for re-election is that the state that voted her into office is sexist. Landrieu also said that President B.O. is unpopular in her state because of his race.

Speaking with NBC's Chuck Todd, Landrieu said, "I'll be very, very honest with you. The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans."

Pointing to herself Landrieu continued, "It's not always been a good place for women to present ourselves. It's more of a conservative place."

Landrieu oddly didn't mention that her low approval might stem from the fact she was the deciding vote for Obamacare
... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
. The senator also didn't note in the interview that President B.O.'s approval ratings are dismal in northern states as well as southern.

#21  Voters do not like to be smeared with an "X" by their home rep.

Enjoy your life as a lobbyist, Mary. Too bad we didn't have better limits on "The Revolving Door."

#20  OS, stop expecting Demonrats to use their brains. Trying to think overheats their two brain cells and if one of them dies, they turn into Biden or Gore. If both of them die, then they become Ted Kennedy, dead but still voting.

#19  So all the recent immigrates to Louisiana are racist and sexist?

#18  Landrieu plays the racist and sexist card out of desperation. She missed the xenophobe card. I guess she didn't feel she could get away with that since Jindal has Indian origins.

#17  Great theory, Mary. But it fails to account for how you and Barry got elected in the first place. Could it possibly be your performance and policies? Nah, the people just suck.

#16  I guess there's no question Pork Chop Landrieu is out. It's the bunker scene from Downfall.

#15  South is racist? Quick someone remind Louisiana Gov Jindal that he's not white! And warn S Carolina Gov Nikki Haley (Female and India descent), and Sen Tim Scott (black) too!

Oh, hmm. Seems the Republicans have managed to elect minority candidates in their primaries...

#14  "It's not always been a good place for women to present ourselves"

Couldn't it be because she's Mary Landrieu?

#12  She's scraping the bottom of the barrel and can't find anything else. Buh-bye, Mary.

#11  I'll be very, very honest with you…

Typically speaking, whenever a politician begins a statement with that phrase the following comments are usually less than truthful.

#10  That is pretty much all the left have to run on. Racism and sexism to go with their socialism.

#2  I was wondering how long it would take for the "all non-leftists are racist, sexist, homophobic cretins who want to kill children and starve the elderly" cards to come out.


If they are coming out in Landrieu, things must be pretty bad for the Dems.

#1  The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans."


Could that be why so many are leaving Atlanta ?
