Well Mel Carnahan was Irish ..... Reagan was Irish, McKinley Scotch
Irish, John F. Kennedy Irish, John F. Kennedy Jr., etc., guess the only
way to beat the Irish is to kill them - and don't forget Robert F.
Kennedy and George Wallace.
However if you read this item (pull up original to see pictures) you
find Carnahan did a black face role in a Minstrel Show....shame, shame
but the sang Swanee and not Kill Whitey like Black Rap Musicians......
So maybe its about time the Palestinians and the Irish started to fight
back - notice Ireland, did the USA send missiles and guns to Ireland to
fight the tyrants in England?
Oh No - so why do they send missiles and guns and bombs to Israel and
give them billions of dollars to murder and slaughter the domestic jews
and arabs? In the name of God when it should be in the name of oil?

Missouri Senate Race: Senator John Ashcroft vs. Governor Mel Carnahan
Incumbent:John Ashcroft (R-Running for reelection) Challenger:Gov. Mel
CarnahanGOP primary:March 7, 2000Democratic primary:March 7, 2000
In what is already proving to be one of the nation's most hotly
contested Senate races, Missouri voters will decide whether to re-elect
Republican Sen. John Ashcroft (R) or to replace him with two-term
Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan. Polls indicate that the candidates are
statistically tied among likely voters, with Ashcroft winning 47 percent
of the vote and Carnahan winning 44 percent.
The race had its highest-profile moment last October, when the campaigns
turned in turned ugly briefly. By the end of the month however, both
candidates were trying to elevate the tone of the debate.
The furor began when Carnahan's surrogates accused Ashcroft of racism,
following Ashcroft's efforts to block the nomination of a black Supreme
Court judge, Ronnie White, to a federal judgeship. In response,
Republicans circulated a photograph of Carnahan entertaining audiences
in a 1960 blackface minstrel show. Carnahan quickly acknowledged his
participation in the event and apologized for his insensitivity.
Ashcroft is touting a comprehensive economic plan to cut taxes, limit
government, pay off the national debt, promote free and fair trade and
allow the information economy to grow unhindered by regulation. Ashcroft
also counts protecting Social Security, encouraging family-friendly
workplaces and expanding the role of religious organizations in
providing charity among his major issues.
As Governor, Carnahan has implemented a number of popular initiatives.
During his tenure, Carnahan eliminated the 3% grocery tax, created an
income-tax deduction for the self-employed who purchase health insurance
and raised personal income-tax exemptions. His FY01 Budget Request
includes $55.6 million for Jump Start Programs, calls for greater
student performance through accountability and new school funding
formulas.
