Actually, I'm reminded of this because of <i>Washington State Grange v. Washington State Republican Party</i>, it seems to me that the LA Repubs attempted to challenge his affiliation change and were rebuffed. reff, didn’t Duke change parties to run as an R in Metairie?

Actually, I’m reminded of this because of Washington State Grange v. Washington State Republican Party, it seems to me that the LA Repubs attempted to challenge his affiliation change and were rebuffed.

Duke ran in a Metairie, LA, State Congressional district as a Republican, and while he was completely disavowed by the LA Republican Party, he won, and served one term.... But, notice, that he was immediately disavowed by LA Republicans when he qualified to run... As soon as he qualified....not after 20 years.... Then again, he was disavowed by Republicans all the time, but, the local/national MSM didn't accept that.... Unlike now, when they accept anything/everything Obama says about his racist/hatemonger pastor.... Actually, Scott…

No, Phil, I can't be his friend...his beliefs are too far out of the norm of what must be for our country, our world, to exist today....I can have one final, desperate, long conversation with him, and try as hard as I can to change what he believes, that blacks are not the enemy, that white racial superiority is wrong, that God does not want me to destroy blacks... And, I'd have to have had that conversation about 20 years before I decided to run for President, so, in our discussion that would have had to be sometime around 1966, and I couldn't run for President till after 1986 or so.... Obama has been in that church, supporting, encouraging, sustaining, participating, and all of those things....a church that believes that <b><i>if God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. </i> </b> He knew of the beliefs of the church, and the leaders of the church, and didn't walk away.... And, now, he expects me to believe that he does not believe that italicized, bolded line above, even though he did support, encourage, sustain, participate in, and, in the end, believe, in all those things... This can't be true??? And, respectfully, you can't believe it either, can you??? Phil…now, I’ll answer…you can too…
