When will this happen? 2007? 2008? These RATS are just full of it...
(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)
Little Freudian slip of the tongue there hmmm Ms Nasty Pelosie?
The Democrat Party! For people who prefer slogans to solutions.
they're promising things they can not possibily achieve. Its about how could we fool people today.
The "New Direction" sounds a lot like the "New Deal." And we all know how well that worked out. BTW, there's absolutely NOTHING in the dems' "New Direction" that deals with national security, border security, defense, immigration, the war on terror (including Iraq/Afghanistan) or ANYTHING that the American people are concerned about. And, oh, hooray for raising the minimum wage (like all Americans make the minimum wage) and reducing community college costs. This is the best they can do?
I notice that there isn't a single point dedicated to the War on Terror. Which, I think, is kind of a big deal.
Guess they just have to redefine the Plantation.
(Maybe just admit that they have one)
TT
If they can't answer these questions then they don't have programs, they have talking points. There's a big, big difference.
A country at war, terrorists who would like to kill us by the bushel along with myriad other concerns and the Democrats worry about slogans.
These jerks are pathetic.
That must explain all the nonstop excitement at my work, which is full of liberals. They are apparently so charged up about this incredible agenda that they haven't mentioned it once.
This slogan has probably been used in every single election, ever. Really fires people up, don't it?
This article showcasing the Dem's is just perfect. Don't comment, you might spoil it. Just ping!
They're screwed.
They left out immigration and national security. Either the omissions will doom them, or they'll have to come up with a New New Direction which will make them look wishy washy.
Democrats Announce their 'Contract with America'
Remembering how Newt Gingrich's 1994 "Contract with America" helped Republicans end 40 years of Democrat domination in the House of Representatives, leading Democrats have announced their own version. Called
"Six in '06," the Democrats' contract has six planks:
(1) A congressional pay increase, also known as the "William Jefferson plank." "Representative Jefferson was forced to take on a role of a corrupt politician in what he thought was an independent film, but turned out to be
an FBI sting operation," said House Minority Leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). "If members of congress were paid a decent salary, this type of tragedy could have been averted." (Senators and Representatives currently
receive salaries of $162,100 per year.)
(2) Nationalizing health care. "Our medical care is a mess," said Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y). "America's health is too important to be left up to the medical profession. It's time for the government to take control to ensure a more rational and equitable distribution of benefits."
(3) Impeaching President Bush. "Republicans impeached President Clinton for diddling an intern," said Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.). "It'll be payback time once we get the majority."
(4) Increasing taxes. "Republicans want voters to believe that lower taxes encourage investment and hard work," said Senator Minority Leader, Harry Reid (D-Nev.). "We say IRS audits and the threat of going to jail is all the encouragement required to make people work hard. Congress will do the investing once we restore the revenues given away by the Bush tax cuts."
(5) End the war on terror. "No matter how brave our soldiers are, no matter how valiant, no matter what their caring," said Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). "Our soldiers cannot bring democracy to Iraq at the barrel of a gun. Some on the right use the fact that U.S. troops were able to defeat tyranny in World War II and bring democracy to Germany and Japan to try to support President Bush's ambitions for Iraq. But those were different times. We had a Democratic president, bipartisan support for the war effort, a cooperative media, and grateful foreign allies. Due to an unfortunate decision by too many voters in 2004, none of these key factors are present in the current crisis. Until that decision is reversed there is no hope. So, let's bring the troops home and end the bloodshed."
(6) "Wild card." "We really wanted to have six key issues-you know, six for 2006-but we couldn't agree on what the last item would be," said Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. "Some wanted recognition of gay marriage, others suggested a law guaranteeing every woman's right to an abortion. So, we're keeping one slot open. Voters can fill-in the blank with whatever they want. On the other hand, there is this 'feces for fascists' idea coming out of Colorado that represents the kind of fresh
ideas our party needs. Eventually, maybe we'll get some focus groups together to figure out where our Party stands on some issue or other."
It's expected that Democratic candidates would stage some kind of televised signing ceremony as Newt Gingrich and the Republicans did in 1994. House Democrats are expected to pledge to enact all six items within six months of taking back the majority in congress.
