DNC...D&C....hmmmmm.....

[noexcuses]

That last seconding guy had to slide one last "greatest" in at the end there to make his quota. Pathetic.

Everyone of those groups have agendas that the Democrats have kow tow to keep them in the base. That is why the Democrats will never be in power again. They have to pander to them and not to work for the country as a whole.

It's Dean vs. Clark
Here's another reason why some Democrats are fretting over installing antiwar former presidential candidate Howard Dean as chair of the Democratic National Committee. He might cede national defense to the Republicans. That's the charge from associates of another former presidential candidate, former NATO boss Wes Clark. Seems the Clark and Dean teams have been warring over the future of the Democratic Party, and now that threatens to spill into the public if Dean, as expected, wins the chairmanship this Saturday. Here's the fight: Clark wants the Democrats deeply involved in foreign policy and the war, and Dean's team isn't as jazzed about that. They see domestic policy and issues like Social Security and the deficit as the keys to success. But this might be the real rub against Dean: Clark fans think the retired general will be marginalized by Dean. Chart the fight on their blogs.

They are also now on record as pro-abortion, pro-union and pro-gay marriage.

What??? Texas is only a great state not the GREATEST??

[MKM1960]

The state rep for MA is asking for discipline from the Dems. Isn't that the equivalent of people in hell asking for ice water. In her beginning and wrap up she mentions God didn't sound very enthusiastic about it.

[Taffini]

I'm 5'3"...I wonder if they have a chair for me? Women under 5'4"...probably not, they aren't that nuts

[Musket]
