Reply #27: One of my best friends worked on that race!!! [View All]

[no name no slogan]

Yeah, that one was a disaster!!! My friend, who was 16 at the time, was working hard for the endorsed Dems. But wouldn't you know it, the WASPy "Fairchild" and "Hart" won the primary, probably because their names were easier to spell, and looked more "familiar" to many people.

He told me numerous stories about these two, and some of the outrageous things they said ("I hate Jews", from Fairchild, for example). The two REAL Dems had to actually run under a separate party banner that fall; and in a state that tends to vote straight ticket (Dem in Chicagoland, GOP downstate) it completely screwed the Democrats.

The LaRouchees may be putting on a "nice" face this year, but I STILL don't trust them. I was around the party in the 80s, and I know what they're like, and I'm not buying the nice act for a minute.
