the 'Pukes are claiming that Breaux--of all people--is not a Louisianian. They know that Breaux will clean little Bobby Jindal's clock.

Former U.S. Sen. John Breaux said Friday he plans to become a candidate for governor if the state’s chief legal officer says he is eligible.

At issue is whether Breaux, a Democrat, is a “citizen” of Louisiana, as the state constitution requires of candidates for statewide office.

“I know I’m a citizen of Louisiana. … My family probably got there in the 1700s,” he said in a telephone interview.

Legal opinions from the attorney general do not carry the weight of a court ruling, and Republicans say they might take the “citizen” issue to court.

But such opinions are the official position of state government’s chief lawyer.

The Louisiana Republican Party contends Breaux is not eligible because he lives and works in the Washington, D.C., area. Breaux, 63, is a lobbyist with the Patton Boggs law firm.

Breaux dismissed the party’s stance as old-style, destructive politics.

The election is Oct. 20.

3. Of all the politicians in Lousiana to the right of Rudy Giuliani, Breaux is my favorite.

8. He'd probably win, but he's still a Dem ally to the BFEE - a LONGTIME ally to

Poppy Bush and his agenda.

4. A lot of Democrats would have run; however, only Breaux

has the power to stop the Red surge in Louisiana.

5. Who controls the courts down there?

And, is there any way they could sleaze it into a repuke-stacked federal court? :scared:

[lies and propaganda]

6. I was just a kid through most of Breaux's career.,..

but i damn sure know that Bobby Jindal is an evil fuck that i dont want involved in my precious homestate in any damn way...

7. He LEFT Louisiana after Katrina.....hasn't been a resident of the state since....

....he decided to LEAVE therefore he should NOT be allowed to run in a state where he doesn't reside...so his DINO ass should stay in Maryland.
