Democrat 'Metrosexuals' Hard to Believe

Chicago Sun-Times ^ | November 2, 2003 | Mark Steyn

[Tom D.]

This guy is the H.L. Mencken of the 21st Century.

[Guillermo]

It's taken as a given among Democrats that somehow this administration has needlessly offended the French and Germans. But insulting Britain, Australia and Poland as a cheap way to get at Bush demonstrates your superior sense of the subtleties of foreign policy?

Good point Steyn.

I've just recently started reading Mark Steyn. My son put me on to him. I don't know nwcessarily where I have been all this time, but somehow I managed to miss him. He must be considered one of the best.

...The wackos end of the Democratic field...

I would seriously like it if someone could tell me where are any non-wackos in the Democratic field.

"[W]hat defines metrosexuals isn't that they're gay or straight but that they're preening narcissists."

He is, dear, he is.

[Holly_P]

"He (Wesley Clark) may have flirted with the Republicans at fund-raiser after fund-raiser but he got into bed with the Democrats"


...That's called "being a whore" isn't it? (rhetorical)

[finnman69]

Sorry, but NONE of the Dem candidadates are stylish enought to be metorsexuals. They are all dorks.

"If the candidates' position is Bush's photo-op on the Lincoln was...premature triumphalism, what..of Clark's call -- on April 10 -- to break out the champagne: ''Let's have those parades on the Mall and down Constitution Avenue."

Let's slam this down Clark's pie-hole a time or two.

Actually, I think this is Dean's way of coming out of the closet without actually admitting his homosexual tendencies...

[KarlInOhio]

More likely is that some campaign consultant told him that metrosexuals are to the 00s what soccer moms were for the 90s. He chose the middle road between pandering and idiocy.

[vanmorrison]

I've always enjoyed Steyn's observations, particularly since he brings his ex-Canadian sensibilities to the idiocies perpetrated by the leftists of the world, who he knows well. What strikes me about his descriptions of these leftist Democrat losers is the realization that this Democrat dreck continues to poll in the mid-40s in this country. What an example of collective lunacy!

[FITZ]

It seems that metrosexuals are men who aspire to be soccer moms. They dress, shop, and act the same.

Regardless of how you feel about Kerry's domestic program, (it stinks, but that's beside this point) he could have appeared very "presidential" if he would have gone along with Lieberman and agreed that deposing Hussein was necessary. However his vanity and ambition are so great, he believes that people will forget his lies and flip-flops regarding the war. He's got the physical thing and the war record, but he wants to attract the very leftist base of the Dem party so badly that he's willing to say and do anything to get their support.

The irony is that he won't get it anyway after all this groveling before them. Dean has the anti-war crowd locked up. Kerry looks very much like a big hypocrite and a fool for chasing after that vote.

[Montfort]

I just love how the Democrats are generating lots of material for us to use against them in advertisements. Just playing back the outrageous statements they made to win the crat base will sink them in the general election.

Of course, we should lead with our positive material, and then contrast it with their wacko comments in the crat debates.

Just keep talking, crats.

...That's called "being a whore" isn't it? (rhetorical)

You should have more respect for the world's oldest profession.

[Rummyfan]

Ping!

[Huck]

Pokey78 has been posting them here for some time now. Freepmail him and get on his Steyn ping list and you won't miss. Steyn is THE best. No one's even a close second.

[Beck_isright]

The DNC in action.

"his vanity and ambition are so great, he believes that people will forget his lies and flip-flops regarding the war"

Not as long as we're around to remind them:

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ...

He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction.

So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

Then there's Hillary, who believes that there is proof (not just *evidence*) linking those who attacked us on 9-11 (al Qaeda) with Saddam:

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapon stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program.

He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members.

It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
