I love this one too....recently our state senator passed away, and they're holding a special election to fill his seat. These candidates are so afraid of the "L" word it's ridiculous.

The candidates to succeed the late John Hainkel in the state Senate, at least those with a chance, all sound pretty much alike.
They can't stand liberals. If that stance lacks the appeal of novelty, it still works in a district that stretches from New Orleans to the conservative bastions of Old Metairie and St. Tammany and on to the would-be theocracy of Tangipahoa, where the school system has continued its prayerful ways in defiance of a federal court order. ............
LaBruzzo, whose House district not so long ago was represented by the Invisible Empire's own David Duke, is appropriately rock-ribbed and promises to take on the bogeymen "liberals in the State Senate" and fight for the standard conservative causes................
Capella is way out on the right too and is "sick and tired of the ACLU and liberal judges." He wants tougher sentences for criminals, although Louisiana's incarceration rates do not suggest that a criminal justice system is exactly namby pamby. Perhaps Capella has forgotten that, when it comes to locking people up, we are tops............
The fourth, Una Anderson, is a Democrat and a member of the Orleans Parish School Board.
Those are two very difficult obstacles for Anderson to overcome. She, however, is at pains to emphasize that she is for guns and against taxes and abortion, so nobody should stick the dreaded "liberal" label on her.
Welcome to 1850.....errrrr......my county. (Here we call them parishes though)
