When I was in High School in the 70s Ernie came and spoke to our Political Science class.
I really felt he was tweaking the little white suburban kids, by his outragous statements, and I was genuinely mad after he spoke.
Partly because I thougth of some good rebuttals after he left.
I remember we had some good discussions in class that week, and I agree that Ernie is sometimes out-there just to get peoples attention.
In my opinion, the only good he did at the legislature was to take the teeth out of the 55mph laws of the time.

As obnoxious as he is, he has prevented more stupid legislation than any other State Senator in the history of this state!

Frankly I don't see where you guys are coming from. You can make people think by having a civilized debate as well. This man was an outrageous SOB and the BS that he pulled in the legislature was downright criminal. He is a hypocrite as well in regards to hating on guns and gun owners since he is one himself. His relentless support of abortion on demand and fighting reasonable restrictions on it makes him a sick sorry piece of trash. He is a racist bigot, and had no respect for anyone but himself. He showed up to the legislature wearing shorts and t-shirts thinking he owned the place which in a sense he did because he held the entire state hostage to his demands. He was supposed to be there to serve but he served himself and his ego is bigger than the sun. His blatant disregard of the constitution showed he had no respect for any authority but himself. His illegal attempts at infringing on the 2nd Amendment should have been enough to try him for treason which carries the death penalty.

DanClrk51,
This is an open forum where members are encouraged to speak their minds. You need to come out of your shell and not be so timid about stating your point of view. ::) (SARCASM)
Seriously though...I see Ernie in the same light as Jesse Jackson. I can't think of anyone who was less about doing the right thing and more about getting their face in the paper. Whatever group (religious, ethnic, socioeconomic, etc.) they were trying to endear themselves to, they were all about presenting the image of support instead of acting morally. If either of these men see a chance to jump in and defend someone, regardless of the defendant's guilt, they will do so just to score points with those that support them. Their defense, regardless of the facts, is that the persons were justified in their crime or in some way should not be held accountable.
On a side note...I met a pilot who saw Jesse Jackson at an airport. He walked up and addressed Jesse in a respectful manor and attempted to shake his hand. JJ just looked at him, did not speak, and did not extend his hand.

Well, he has sued God, now who does he have in mind? Need to make sure people remember what this idiot has cost the taxpayers before so he doesn't do it again.
