Are Democrats welcome here?

[joe_northrop]

Is anyone of the Democratic persuasion welcome here, or are you crazy Republicans going to kick me off? Do any of you know how freaking ridiculous things are getting with George Bush in office? Let's do the list: assaults the environment, rising unemployment, rising gas prices, rising hatred of us across the globe, a phony war with over 700 Americans dead, POW torture, overtime pay almost done away with.....the list goes on and on. It's CRAZY.

[liberallarry]

Liberllarry is a liberal? Wha?

Actually a Teddy Roosevelt liberal. But have at it...if you can. :)

[sarasota]

That's because the Cuban Communist has more in common with DU than conservatives do.

[wtc911]

Are you going to stay and debate or just run?

Obviously he's a runner. I bet there's a group out there whose members assign some value to getting zotted here and this is just a sophomoric attempt to break the record.

[mhking]

It's CRAZY.

Like you?

Klintoon: we trashed yer offices...heh heh

Gore: "?"

;Democrats might be tolerated, but nutcases aren't.

And the difference would be what ?

'Twas but a joke.

But apparently not a funny one.

assaults the environment, rising unemployment, rising gas prices, rising hatred of us across the globe

Why are the first several items in your list simply a left-wing laundry list?

"Assaults on the environment?"

Please, elaborate...

"Rising unemployment?"

And the President is responsible for that? Spoken like a true socialist citing meaningless statistics. As if more government intervention would alleviate that! You want to see truly high unemployment rates? Look to Europe and the rest of the world!

"Rising gas prices?"

The market should decide that. Is that not the case?

"Rising hatred of us around the globe?"

What else is new?

Ah, yes, if the US would just "go along to get along" and subordinate its will to that of timid, socialist Europe or some such, instead of doing what is necessary.

Europeans claim to hate America for her questionable-at-times foreign policy. Support of Israel, etc., etc. That, of course, is just a convenient excuse.

The real reason Europeans hate America is simply that we're not socialist enough. We're too free, and too prosperous. The main impulse is, alas, jealousy. And it provides a very convenient external enemy which helps divert attention from Europe's own internal Tyrannical and essentially Marxist governmental systems, which have produced nothing but economic malaise, less freedom, and high unemployment.

And then at the end, of course, you threw in the Iraq War complaint, as if to equate it to the other leftist issues.

What a nice, tidy, schoolbook-simple world leftists live in.

Many Democrats, in the general populace and in elected office, disagree with you on the need for the Iraq War. The genuine, sometimes legitimate antiwar movement will continue to undermine itself if its adherents continue to denigrate, trvialize, and misunderestimate the nuances of the Iraq War issue.

BTW, one Democrat who I am sure is welcome among "crazy Republicans" is Zell Miller, the Democratic Senator from Georgia.

SHUUsh... be vwery,vwery quiet, I'm hunting Weftists -Fudd.

so proud of himself

It worked, didn't it? 150+ posts and counting.

[solo gringo]

If you are a democrat as for as i am concern take a hike

[Twinkie]

You've had four years of President Bush.
Relax and inhale. - We had EIGHT years of
daily CRAZY with the degenerated Clinton
administration. Graft and corruption . .
lies . . suspicious deaths of people in
the administration . . Waco . . Joycelyn
Elders . . . missiles rained on the wrong
country on the day Monica was to testify. .
not about sex, but about a President
perjuring himself. A daily drip, drip of
corruption for eight years. Just relax.
Things could be worse; they were for the
eight Clinton years. He was impeached, he
should have been removed and would have if
the Senate wasn't a good ol' boys group.

"If you want to hang with Democrats, the internet is full of other forums. This one was designed as a liberal-free zone."

Good point and well taken. The thing is I don't want hang out at DU with their single-minded all liberal line. Is there any forums anyone knows of that have a mix of liberal and conservative viewpoints with rational debate and discussion that does not degrade into partisan name-Calling?

BTW I like FR and hope to stick around, I have learned much here. The point about this being a liberal-free zone is appreciated

[Snerfling]

The real reason Europeans hate America

Europeans don't hate America. If you doubt this assertion, ask one this summer. Oh, haven't you heard? With the dollar at an all-time low against the Euro, foreign tourism is expected to be off the charts. It will probably be hard to see (or hear) a native in NYC or LA this summer.

[Blue Scourge]

Let's do the list:

alright...sounds like fun...

assaults the environment

Sure...we all know that Bush is out to destroy the world....because we didn't sign the Kyoto Treaty. Perhaps you like China and India who did sign the treaty but just ignore it.

rising unemployment,

Survey says....wrong....Look at the facts, unemployment is coming down.

rising gas prices,

Yup, it's all Bush's fault....didn't you and your group say this was a war for oil?

rising hatred of us across the globe,

My personal favorite....The Mid-east has hated us since we started supporting Israel...the rest of the world is strictly "penis envy". We are the big dog on the block, alot of people are jealous and want to see us fall...this hatred was there under Clinton, but the Eurocrats viewed him as one of their own so they kept it quiet.

a phony war with over 700 Americans dead,

It's a real war, part of our war on terrorism which you and your buddies think we brought on ourselves....you dishonor our dead by calling it a phony war.

POW torture,

That is humiliation and sensory deprevation, a common interrogation tactic. Torture is inflicting so much pain on a person that they beg for death....something that would be going on today under Saddam if your Democratic congressmen had had their way.

overtime pay almost done away with.....

Cause Bush and his evil republican army are out to destroy the middle class, we must rise up in a revolution comrade...the time is now...DOWN WITH CAPITALISM!!!

Get your facts straight before you speak....foot in mouth syndrome is very prominent among democrats....it's terminal...you may only have another 60-70 years to live.

Only Dimocrats who know how to make a reasoned argument instead of anti-Bush, anti-conservative screeds. In other words, intelligent Dimocrats would be welcome but I don't think they exist.

[RogerWilko]

You see, there is only so many times an undecided voter can hear things like LIHOP, BFEE, economy in tatters, poisoning the environment, stolen elections, takin' away muh overtime an' muh union benafitz, I was in Vietnam, yada yada until they simply cannot stand it anymore and they run screaming into the light of day. Conservative day, that is. Because eventually we all must come face to face with that cruel mirror called reality, and we must change. Or else you'll end up stuck in a hateful, aberrant loop like the pathetic freaks on DU

WOW!! You said it ALL! I can see you've made a couple of visits to the dark and DUmb side! It's just like I was RIGHT there torturing myself like I do soooo often!

Good Job!!
