I sense we are witnessing the beginning of the destruction of the Democratic party. Heheheh.
Norquist is correct about the trial lawyers, but I believe he has overlooked the all-powerful Government Unions - this is where the labor unions' power base has transferred. And the teachers unions and the huge NEA, which has nothing to do with real education, it is all about money for their union in order to “vote” their candidate into office, in this case Kerry...like trial lawyers, they vote their pocket book, not for America.
If this was part of Kerry's calculation in picking Edwards, it's a bit of a no-brainer. The labor unions are shrinking in numbers and dollars, whereas the trial lawyers are increasing their earnings, some of which they contribute to the Dems.
Crossing my fingers!
I hope the media jumps all over their combined tax history! It gets me so mad when he says he is looking out for the middle class. He is looking out for us all right and he is going to tax us to death!!
I think most people who pay attention knows that the labor unions have not been the Demorats power base for a while. They still get lots of votes from them, but the unions like the blacks have started to figure out that the Demorats are all about Demorats and one one else.
Can't be. The alphabet networks have been telling us this is the most united the Democrat party has been in many years.
And, that amounts to peanuts!
Bill and Hillary surely do not want to see Kerry/Edwards drink from **Their cup..and offshore banking : )
Clintons and their ilk will manuver to undermine the Undertaker and his smiling puppy.
If blacks are figuring it out, their actual voting patterns aren't reflecting it yet. As for the labor unions, in a State like Michigan, they offer organization which is invaluable. Having said all that, as long as trial attorneys appear to be on the same side of the issues as blacks, unions, Hispanics or whomever else, I doubt they will sense a transfer of power in the selection of Edwards.
Has Norquist taken a break from kissing the butts of Islamists long enough to think this through and write it?
I still don't think we've really figured out what is going on here on the Dem side. Unlike Clinton, who was purely evil, I think Kerry is 100% incompetent, which makes him no less dangerous in office.
Rush Limbaugh had a funny way of putting this today: Now that Kerry has made his VP choice, Hillary is switching her gun mode against him from stun to kill.
And, when these 'Establishment' Democrats step into the voting booth, may we count on their support, there behind the closed curtain, as they make a checkmark beside the Bush/Cheney Electors' entry on the ballot?
But that would be counting on lifelong Democrats to be doing the right thing. Always an uncertain proposition.
Even if sKerry/Fratboy win (*GAAK*) Shrillary will get what she wants...first biologically female Chief Justice.
Leaves her out.
So exclusive that he gave the same interview to FNC twenty minutes later.
Republicans are going to be in for a big surprise on election day if the Democrats are able to get out a large voter turnout! Norquist's reasoning if perfectly logical but not very realistic, in my opinion.
Tune in to C-SPAN any morning, and you'll hear every stripe of Democratic thinking from far-leftists to blacks, gays, and especially nearly all women callers. They HATE GWB with a passion, and would vote for anybody to see a Democrat win the White House in November, and perhaps even one or both houses of the Congress.
President Bush should be running scared, but from what I read in Human Reports recently, mostly liberal Repulicans are going to be prime time speakers at the convention. Is Sen. Rick Santorum going to be able to speak? If not, Pennsylvania may go Democratic. How about Senators Mike DeWine and George Voinovich of Ohio. No Republican has won the White House without carrying Ohio. Both states are up for grabs, and all it will take is for a large turnout of Democratic voters.
