Greatest line is Zell speaking of Kerry posing with a surfboard tucked under his arm: "It made me wonder, are there more surfboards or shotguns in America?"

"... the correct response to people who want to kill us is to kill them first" Bump!

"Miller believes the correct response to people who want to kill us is to kill them first. His party's presidential contenders, he frets, prefer asking the United Nations to issue stern warning resolutions."

As a son of the south, I say, yup.

Other than Zell Miller and Sam Nunn, yes, they are clueless. The Democrats(outside of the cities anyway) are way more conservative than these whackos who are running for President.

The Democrats, as a post-Jimmy Carter party, have pretty much abandoned the South. The fiction that the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" represented anything about the South as a region was perpetrated by the power centers in the Northeast and the Left Coast. As a job, being governor of Arkansas was not all that lucrative, but the potential for guiding a few additional perks to yourself was a tantalizing prospect. And it gained ingress to a circle perhaps even more select than the US Senate, the caucus of governors. The "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" worked the room among the Democrat governors well, and at times seemed to be the seasoned pro. He developed an almost Machiavellian talent for finesse and parsing of meanings, which made him seem to be a more intelligent and learned person than he was in reality. But what he represented was not the South, old or new. He was a usurper who set out to hijack the Democrat party, and he was extraordinarily successful. The Democrats are still in trall to him and his venomous viper of a spouse.

The democratic party is out of touch with the whole country. The only people they appeal to these days are the very poor... they have nothing to offer anyone else but tax, spend, and take away everyone's rights.

So how do reasonably intelligent Dems get to run as reasonably intelligent human beings when they try and go national? There has to be something other than a total electoral whitewash that would disentrench a few of the dumber liberal intrest groups.

It's not just the South. It's almost all of rural America.

Bush even won the UP of Michigan and West Virginia which are very historically democrat. He also won the NE part of the state as well, also historicaly democrat like the UP.

The dems currently are the party of Big Cities over 100,000, government unions, inner cities, and the elitist type crowd that has billions but don't want you to have any. That's about it.
