The vast left-wing conspiracy

During the 2004 presidential election, veteran Washington reporter Byron York realized the Democrats had formed a vast conspiracy of party operatives, "nonpartisan" 527 fund-raising groups, liberal media stars such as Al Franken, and billionaire donors like George Soros to defeat George W. Bush.

It was no secret. In fact, Democrats were proud of it. And as York says in "The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy," the well-organized political movement that the Democrats created to outfox tough new campaign finance laws and bring them back to national power is going to give Republicans fits in future elections.

I talked to the National Review's White House correspondent by telephone from Washington:

...as long as the radical, senseless left has its Kool-Aid drinkers, it will remain a disease upon free America and a continuous challenge to our Constitution.

...as long as the radical, senseless left has its Kool-Aid drinkers, it will remain a disease upon free America and a continuous challenge to our Constitution.

As long as the Republicanos (that's right, it's not a misspelling, REPUBLICANOS) keep shipping manufacturing overseas and do nothing to stem the deluge coming across the borders, the Kool-Aid drinkers stand a good chance of regaining power. Remember, you saw it here first, Republicanos. Say it again, Republicanos.

The problem witht liberals is not that they can't get their message out, it's that they're getting their message out and hiding the truth. The success of The Pie Party depends on keeping the general public in a profound state of ignorance. This they accomplish with the more than willing help of their friends in Big Media, government schools, and the entertainment industry. That's the irony of the whole thing; they think they're not getting their message out. But it's really the conservatives who have problems getting their message out. It's getting better for us, but we still have to demolish the liberal wall of ignorance to let the public see the truth.

I dont believe either party is trying to stop the flow of Mexicans. I do believe the Republican party will have to pay for illegal immigration because it is happening on their watch.

Our ideas are right. People agree with our ideas. People just haven't heard them. We just haven't communicated those ideas well enough. So the essence of the "vast left-wing conspiracy" is really communications. It's creating a message machine to inject their ideas into the public discussion 24/7.

Bullspit! - The mesage that these well funded liars put out would be defined as hate speech coming from the Pubbies.

They would not dare voice their own ideas, they just denigrate and lie about Republican positions.

What are they gonna do? Come out for gay marriage? Higher taxes? Against free trade? Against school vouchers.

Sure, that's the ticket!!

The main thing about the 527s is that so far as I know they wouldn't have been illegal before McCain-Feingold. So McCain-Feingold simply gave them a competitive advantage that they previously lacked.

IMHO McCain-Feingold is turning the Democratic Party into a shell, a front. The real organization is George Soros's various "uncoordinated" political enterprises. I think it's a candidate for a RICO investigation . . . fat chance of that.

[llama hunter]

isn't the real problem is that people don't accept their message anymore, the problem is their message IS getting out
but it's the wrong message......

all the 527s do is smear the other guy, they have nothing to do with getting the Democratic message out because some of them understand full well that the majority of the people don't accept their message anymore so they have to distract the electorate, except it didn't work last time, even with the power of the Mainstream Media behind this machine

and of course under Kerry who knew what the message was at times.......

[driftless]

But smearing Republicans is the Pie Party message as far as I can see. That's what I mean by them getting their message ie."Republicans Are Evil" out. Republicans have a much harder time conveying the truth to the American public.

I don't think republicanos nor republicans have anything to do with businesses moving out of local economies .. rather .. I think it is the local beauracracy that taxes such entities to the point where they say, "Screw this ... I'm tryin' to make some money here."
Maybe your coining 'republicanos' is due to the "Via Con Dios" chorus you here as they sail away to make MONEY.

I think it was Jefferson that said, "The business of America is business."

Correctamundo!

That "journalist" was a freakin' commie!

Why should she be believed?

[Jaysun]

"If you listen to any of them, from either the emotional or the professional wing, you will hear the belief that we -- meaning the liberals -- we are the true American majority. Their unshakable belief is that the real majority of Americans agrees with their positions on the issues. So if you believe that, the problem really becomes one of communications: Our ideas are right. People agree with our ideas. People just haven't heard them. We just haven't communicated those ideas well enough."

This is delusional. They believe that if they can just get enough people to pay attention to their message,

Gays are great it's the Christians we hate,
protect the wild and kill your own child,
he who is rich is a son of a b*tch,
we won't take a stance that might upset France,
no drilling for oil on our tundra soil,
hike up the tax and regulate snacks....and so on

Everyone knows "the message".

What puzzles me is that there is no real party for which to vote. There are socialists, socialists light and right wing hippies (libertarians). Perhaps the Republicrats think that the conservative voter who defects will be replaced with a Latino, or whatever the PC word is. It is amazing that the electorate allows politicians who are either demented or congenitally lacking in intelligence to rise to positions of power. I see high ranking politicos on CSPAN who don't have an IQ of eighty with fish oil and niacin in their bloodstreams. Let me give Michael Savage credit for the fish oil reference.

I feel as if the birkenstockers have remade reality in their own image in an effort to blunt the shame of their perversion. They will not see the light either, because they've invested too much time in deluding themselves. It's called cognitive dissonance. What the sane American sees as insanity the anointed see as "tolerance" or "diversity" or any of the other Orwellisms. The birkenstockers can be expected to give aid and comfort to the terrorists, too, knowing at some level that they will be the first to go to the firing squad when 1683 is reversed. At bottom their aim is mutual: the overthrow of a rational cosmos.

Yep, Hillary will take some of the blue-collar folks who want a job and blame the fact that they can't get a UAW line gig on the free traitors. The question is whether A) she can get enough if she does toe that anti-illegal line and B) she can get enough people to believe her even if she does spout border militarization rhetoric.
