<p>I don’t remember Duke getting the Democratic nomination but I do remember George Bush getting the Republican nomination and that my friend will be a long time embarrassment for your party. Especially now that Cindy Sheehan is more popular than this failure of a President.</p>
<p>Your hero helps the Republican Party. Hillary, Kerry et al won’t go near her because they know that. I know that some of you revere her, but every time she opens her mouth she helps the Republican Party. She’s a part of the very noisy fringe left that is crowding out the few remaining moderate Democrats in the Party. The fringe Left is coming closer and closer to taking over the Democratic Party. When that happens the Democrats will become a footnote to history.</p>
<p>“The fringe Left is coming closer and closer to taking over the Democratic Party.”</p>
<p>Interesting, isn’t it? Here’s a defunct SAT analogy for you:</p>
<p>The “Fringe Left” is to the Democratic Party as—</p>
<p>a) Asparagus is to Soup
b) Hilary Clinton is to Wellesley College
c) The Taliban is to oppression
d) The “Religious Right” is to the Republican Party</p>
<p>I bet even Citygirlsmom could probably get this one right.</p>
<p>Hint: Cindy Sheehand = “Fringe Left”</p>
<p>Oh, and—anyone care to take a stab at the question I asked a couple of posts ago? Why haven’t congressional Democrats (John Kerry, in particular, Ted Kennedy in general) joining us in the demand that The United States leave Iraq with all deliberate speed? WHAT DO THEY KNOW THAT WE DON’T? …Anybody…?</p>
<p>Sorry about the grammatical faux pas. The sentence should read, "Why haven’t congressional Democrats (John Kerry, in particular, Ted Kennedy, in general) JOINED us in the demand that the United States leave Iraq with all deliberate speed? I didn’t catch the error before the “edit” time limit had run out.</p>
<p>Fundingfather, I noticed that there was no way to PM you in your profile. My e-mail is in my profile. Please feel free to e-mail me so that I can respond to your kind message from a few posts back. Thanks.</p>
<p>Congressional Democrats know that nationally it’s a losing issue for their party. Remember too that 90% of them signed on in support of the War. It’s the same reason that the only Democrats who visited Crawford, Texas were the likes of Al Sharpton (by the way his driver was arrested after the visit for speeding and not stopping when signaled to pull over by the police - guess the law doesn’t apply to Reverend Al). The whole protesting the War works well in some college towns and the Upper West Side of Manhattan, but nationally it doesn’t get them very far.</p>
<p>SUpport the President having the powers to go to war that was warrented, and they and the American people got twisted facts</p>
<p>Lets talk Delay. He’s a beacon of ethics</p>
<p>And you want to talk values- who was it that divorced his wife as she lay suffering from cancer than married his mistress</p>
<p>We could go on and on about the hypocrtical family value Republicans, but I only have so much time.</p>
<p>
That was LOL funny! The day you don’t have time to post about the evils of Republicans will be the day that I plan a ski trip to Hell (which is where you and Howard Dean think all Republicans will end up - being “evil” and all.)</p>
<p>Well, you can’t say I ain’t got a sense of humor ;)</p>
<p>You do have a sense of humor. I’m still laughing from your description of a smirking President Bush over on the hurricane thread.</p>
<p>cgm, all you do is bash everything conservative. It is funny because these extreme liberals like yourself are only making it easier for Republicans to get elected. Anyone that is a moderate Democrate or moderate Republican does not want to associate with extremists that seem to be growing in number on the left. I can almost guarentee you that in 08 a Republican will be elected president. </p>
<p>Maybe instead of protesting and bashing everything you disagree with, you should actually do something to make your side look proactive.</p>
<p>YOu have no idea what I do</p>
<p>At least I care about people</p>
<p>don’t see much of that coming from compassionate conservatives these days</p>
<p>But, hey, you bash everything that is not conservative</p>
<p>And see what great shape our country is in now:</p>
<p>We have more poor- in percentages and real numbers than ever before
Fewer people have insurance
We are in an unending war
Schools have little money
We don’t have enough money to take care of our infrastructure, unless you live in a certain state</p>
<p>Yeah the bashing is deserved, so why not?</p>
<p>When I see people with real jobs, when I see people getting medical care, when I see an end to this war, when I see the environment being protected, when I see corporations having to take responslbity for what they do, when I see someone, anyone in this Republican Administration one time, say, hey, opps, when I see the profiteering going on in Iraq stop, when I see accountability for all the money spent and the missing money, when I see how Haliburton spent so much of my tax dollars, when I see science taken seriouslly, when I see us treating the rest of the world with respect, when I see religion and government seperated, when I see our veterans truely being take care of, when I see some accountability from this administration…</p>
<p>Maybe then, I can shut up, till then, well, there are a whole lot of angry people out here doing whatever we can to have a two party system in this country again</p>
<p>Bush did not have a mandate, yet he acts like it. He had a slight victory. He has ignored almost 50% of the population of this country. </p>
<p>He has a disapproval rating of over 50% and its not getting better</p>
<p>We will see '08 we will see</p>
<p>You keep saying that fundingfather and I are part of the “Bush Cult” and saying we just agree with everything Bush or conservatives in general do, yet we have both specifically stated we disagree with different policies of Bush. If anything is a cult, it is the Bush Bashers who look for every single thing that goes wrong in their lives and our country to blame on the president. </p>
<p>You seem to put conservatives in a negative light in each and every one of your posts. We are just defending what we believe is the right thing to do. I haven’t bashed everything not conservative, just lunatic liberals like Cindy Sheehan and Al Sharpton. You seem to have selective hearing, or in this case reading.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am an ardent non-supporter of both Bush and Clinton. But I wholeheartedly agree with the above statement.</p>
<p>I wanted link to an article, but this is no point</p>
<p>To some , this war is justified and nothing will ever convince them otherwise</p>
<p>It was a good one too</p>
<p>Rasmussen Reports today released the results of its most recent poll on the favorability/unfavorability view of Amercians towards Cindy Sheehan. The wording of the question was simple and direct…“do you have a favorable or an unfavorable opinion of Cindy Sheehan.”</p>
<p>Only 31% of Americans now have a favorable view of Cindy Sheehan DOWN from a 35% favorable view in mid-August. 39% have an unfavorable view UP from 38% in mid-August. She is starting to approach Michael Moore territory with his 23% favorable view.</p>
<p>I know that certain ones of you here will use this an opportunity to call our President a dunce, a liar, or bring up Halliburton, or WMDs, or poverty, racism, tax cuts for the rich, Tom Delay, etc. Fire away. It’s standard operating procedure. Those comments will not belie the fact that Cindy Sheehan’s support is in the cellar.</p>
<p>Some have argued here that your hero will gain strength as she approaches Washington and that she’s more popular than the President. She’s not…and that’s a fact.</p>
<p>" If anything is a cult, it is the Bush Bashers who look for every single thing that goes wrong in their lives and our country to blame on the president. "
Truer words were never spoken.</p>
<p>“…said it once before
but it bears repeating”</p>
<p>“If anything is a cult, it is the Bush Bashers who look for every single thing that goes wrong in their lives and our country to blame on the president.”</p>
<p>As the bodies show up, I am sure that repeating your mantra will help you to avoid facing the truth… Bush has been nothing but bad luck for this country…Most of the people you to whom you respond by name calling are simply speaking the truth…Bush has been nothing but bad luck for this country. He has screwed up in two gulf regions and people have lost their lives for his arrogance…not for freedom, not wmd but his sinful pride and arrogance.</p>
<p>“sinful pride and arrogance” getting a little fire and brimstone eh?</p>
