Why is this fellow more articulate, more compelling, and more enjoyable to hear speak than 50% of the Republican congressman in DC?
He may be a politician no different than the others in DC, he may be as easily co-opted, he may be just blowing with the wind, etc. I don’t know him or his politics beyond this video.
But dagnabbit, I would rather listen to him speak on themes of Freedom and the Republic than most of the knuckleheads we send up to the hill.
Is it just me, or do we need more good orators in our party like this gentleman?
Ironically , on the immediate figures available for the 2012 elections , Louisiana has the highest % of citizens voting.
It wa not clear if this was of the citizens registered or those eligible but apples for apples – this was very impressive. A huge turn around for a reluctant state that that never trusted politics.
Louisiana never trusted politics? Given the peculiarities of Louisiana voting methods for plurality run-offs, Long won the Governor’s office with 96 percent of the vote. He abolished the poll tax, adding about 300 thousand to the rolls. He then was elected to the US Senate with 57 percent of the vote. “Every Man a King,” indeed; he makes the current executive look like a piker.
Yep. They’ll bully him into silence just like they bullied Dr. Ben Carson into silence. Carson operates on little kids brains to improve their lives. And the left despised him because he didn’t tow the lefty line.
Wonderful. But I felt bad for him when I thought of the who and what of the party he’s lauding: Boehner, McConnell, Rubio, Ryan and the rest of the corrupted and complaisant and clueless GOP. He deserves better. We all do.
I learned about this on Rush, who gave the carefully-spelled website address with glee that he was about to crash it. Seconds later, the website gave me an error message….
I got a little watery-eyed watching and listening to Elbert. His earnestness and sincerity are astonishing; I wish the Republican party had more like him.
Ha I just realised that it was not Huey Long & The News as I always thought but Huey Lewis & The News.
This gent has the makings of a larger than life figure with an unforgettable name . I am joining his fan club right away.& I only heard 30 secs.
I like the look of him. Beam me up Elbert .

Darn it. I was just about to post this! 🙂
Louisiana is not really America. If. Any state ha aright to leave it is Luoisiana.
I just wish he realized that the GOP of 2013 is not friendly towards ideas like the rule of law, freedom for citizens and less regulation on commerce.
Yes, the Republican Party has many faces, but that is not to say that making the Republican Party republican again can not begin with a Black man.

Sorry…that’s Huey Long, the “Kingfish.”
Oui . C ‘est vrai et avec tous les votes.
This weekend Huey’s bridge celebrated a $1.2 billion upgrade – ahead of schedule & under budget.
Louisiana is leading the way. Next this guy will have his own show.

I love it when Americans speak! I get chills & tears listening to him.
He will be targeted by the racist bullies of the Left. They fear the truth.

Swell people, those lefties.

I wish other fellow Republicans in Louisiana could articulate this well.

This man is wonderful. We need more like him.
Is he available to run for the US Senate?
I got a little watery-eyed watching and listening to Elbert. His earnestness and sincerity are astonishing; I wish the Republican party had more like him.
