Poll question: should LaRouche have been allowed to speak?
I think it'd make the convention a bit more uh...interesting

1. No.
Only Democrats should speak at the Democratic Convention.

How hard is that to figure out, anyway?

7. Ummm...he's a registered Democrat.
Not suggesting that he should speak, hell, Zell wasn't allowed. But, remember, LaRouche is a member of the party, a bizzare, strange fact, but yes, he's a Dem by name, but not by action.

10. He may be
a registered Democrat, but he's also a certifiable LOONY.
No way he should get a platform at the convention.

2. Though I didn't want him in the debates and all...
...I do wonder what they used as a justification for keeping him out. Is there a party rule that we will not run a convicted felon on our ticket?

4. probably the fact that Richard Nixon is more of a Democrat.
And he's been dead for years.

3. LaRouche should be in a padded cell
Maybe he could be roommates with that other psychotic "Democrat", Jim Trafi-cunt.

6. A friend and I sent Traficant a few phony fan letters.
Apparently he didn't understand the sarcasm and thanked us for our support.

Traficant cracked me up during those dark post-9/11 days, when precious little comic relief was on the air. All that ranting about busting out of jail "like a gladiator" and stabbing people in the crotch...

8. Beam me up.


When I go to the floor for this final execution, I will wear a denim outfit. I will walk in there like Willie Nelson, combination of John Wayne, Will Smith -- 'Men in Black' -- James Brown. Maybe do a Michael Jackson moonwalk, right up to the stand and ask unanimous contempt to undress and revile the House.

9. Has LaRouche ever done anything for the Democratic Party?
Might as well bust James Traficant out of jail to speak. At least he'd give a more interesting speech.

Fred Phelps ran as a Democrat once. Should he speak at the convention?

12. LaRouche - Nader, how about me?
You can't let every nut in the country speak at the convention, Democrat or not!
