Kerry, Kennedy, Mikulski, Reid, even Obama and Hillary and DiFi; all the rest who stand with us now.

I will support them forever. Or until I'm living in a dictatorship, which I guess won't be long.

That's it. We must take this party over NOW. That means: no more money or free labor for any non-progressive Dem (for progressive read: believes in the Constitution and the Republic and will fight for them.)

Progressives? Pro-constitutional? PFFFFFFFFT.

We've tried playing nice with the DLC--or at least, I have. No more now. No more support. Let them try and staff their campaigns without the "liberal base" they sneer about. Let them try and fund their campaigns without the "grassroots" they ignore. No more.

My only regret is Howard Dean. Taking our money away from the DNC will make him look like shit. But I can't help that. Not one penny of my money from now on will go to Ben Nelson. Or Bob Casey. Or Bill Nelson. They can all go to hell.

The people at DailyKos are absolutely NUTS. Saying they're fed up with the Democratic Party and are going for alternative socialist parties.

Good. Makes it easier for us. They'll be to the Dems what Ross Perot was to George Bush Sr.

Do you think they are committing mass suicide over there?

Without a doubt. I can hear them popping their prozac pills and swallowing them with kookaid through the barred door.

Everyone knows they have "His Majesty" stone cold guilty of violating the FISA Act and Article 4 of the Constitution.

Article 4? Did Bush fail to guarantee each state a Republican form of government? Did he fail to make a state turn a traitor over to another state wherein he was charged with that crime? Did he create a new state out of parts of one or more existing states? How did he violate Article 4?

The world waits.

I heard what appeared to be a tearful Lincoln Chaffee today saying he's pro-choice, pro-this, pro-that and he can't vote for Alito. I just thought it was funny that it made him cry.

Wouldn't you know.

How very, very sensitive of Senator Chaffee. Barf.

People like that should avoid politics and stick to yoga or selling candles, or whatever.

I think Freepers are far more closer together than DUmmies will/can/should ever be.

Absolutely!

As for this:

we still love each other--the way the freepers [readers of the generally right-wing Free Republic Web site] never can/will.

just maybe WE don't want to "love" each other like they "can or will," if you get my drift.
