The next generation, with redemption from God, will hopefully fare better. AG Former (to be soon) Senator,

It is high time for you to retire and lead a peaceful non-controversial life, without having to face the controversy of being branded and having to defend for your racist thoughts and beliefs!!!

It did seem that Mr. Allen was seething in anger on the inside while he was smiling on the outside. Why pick on somebody so obviously. He does not deserve to be a candidate that represents a political party for this country that is based on progressive principles. we are making a big deal out of similar feelings in other parts of the world, then we should remove these guys out of public life as they are weeds in the lawn. we have plenty of nice people who want to represent our country and they should get the chance. this is not a mis reading of a statement. He is bad for us. thank you for the opportunity. I have seen the video. It did seem that Mr. Allen was seething in anger on the inside while he was smiling on the outside.
