Dem Problems - A great political party can't thrive on snob appeal.
http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pnoonan/?id=110003143
Speaking of the death of the Democratic party, go over to DU to witness a meltdown first hand. I cannot stop laughing. It really is amusing--you won't be sorry.
No. But the Dem Party will move solidly back into the Clinton control.
x42 moved to center to win and govern. Hilllary will move the Party the same way. She isn't as stupid as Kerry, Dean, et al, to think the liberal wing wins National elections. She will build a more centrist Dem Party the next four years, in preparation for 2008.
The truest statement this morning is the title of Zell Miller's book- A National Party, No More.
D*MN, IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A FREEPER!!!Great morning!
Bump
I wish it was truly dead.
Liberalism still has its fanatical adherents, and they still flock to the democratic party looking toward the next election. These people are a festering sore on the political landscape.
I personally think a big surprise is coming from the US Democrats on policies soon. I predict Hillary Clinton will adopt Bush's WOT to the full, and she will act like New Zealand's Roger Douglas by putting forth free market reforms of superanniuation (social security) on the table, and who knows, maybe a Singapore-style medical care scheme as well. These three will take enough winds out of the Republican platform and make Hillary the first female President of the United States.
I've been predicting the party will dissolve, then return with a hyphenated name. It will contain the word 'green" or "children and families"...
And still, God be praised, the good guys won!
You may be right, but by whatever name it returns as there will always be a hidden slash (.../Socialist) after it.
Somewhere, at this moment, Terry McAuliffe sits alone in a hotel room reading the Help Wanted ads.
Thanks for reposting this article. She says alot of what needs saying (with a few exceptions - i.e., The start of the modern socialist elements in the RAT party appeared at the national level with FDR) and she nails the major indictments as clearly as Luther's thesis' on the Wirtemberg door.
Let us hope that they will enter a genuinely irreversible death spiral and fragment for several generations. A word of caution: Do NOT say that they have already been destroyed as this would be our Achiles heel of foolhardy hubris.
"Why did he wait until one week before the American election to reveal this ''news?'' Could it be that the mighty and corrupt United Nations feels its world supremacy is threatened by President Bush?"
First major act in second term-pull out of the damn UN.
Leave them to debate their own irrelevance.
The only hope for the Dems is to purge the clintonistas-McAuliffe, Carville, Lockhart, et al...
but dont tell them...
We better not listen to this and start watching that steam roller bit@# in the US Senate from New York.
Starting my Neener Attack list for 2008 . . .
I like your thinking....We should nominate all of them for the Nobel Prize in The Emporer Has No Pants On category-they just might win!
