The Democrats are the Rodney Dangerfield Party of American politics. They have not earned the country's respect - let alone its trust.

The Vietnam War protestors divided this country.
The 2004 election divided this country like little else in recent times.
John Kerry was a leader in the movement both tines, and he thinks HE could have brought this country together?

"Now we are all learning what it's like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence which Barbour and his cronies have encouraged," read Mr. Kennedy's post on Arriana Huffington's anti-Bush website. The eco-evangelist went on to suggest to his disciples that God may have been offended by a memorandum Mr. Barbour former Chairman of the Republican Party had written to President Bush about flaws in the United Nations Kyoto Protocol on global warming. "Perhaps," Mr. Kennedy wrote, "it was Barbour's memo that caused Katrina, at the last moment, to spare New Orleans and save its worst flailings (sic) for the Mississippi coast." What a POS. I wonder how much fossil fuel Little Bobby will burn up flying around the country in private jets over the next year spewing this BS?

Unfortunately, Kennedy and Byrd are both blissfully ignorant of just how irrelevant they have rendered themselves.
I still think one of Kennedy's funniest diatribes was regarding the "waterboarding" allegedly occurring at Abu Graba*s. To hear this, the "Hero of Chappaquiddick" talk about "almost" drowning terrorists, was just too "theater of the absurd".

Kennedy wrote, "it was Barbour's memo that caused Katrina, at the last moment, to spare New Orleans and save its worst flailings (sic) for the Mississippi coast." This is a disgusting comment from the total elitist Robert Kennedy Jr.. He should stop living off his name and fortune and get a real job like the rest of us because when it comes to the ways of the world he doesn't know jack sh_t. I doubt that he has even ever stepped foot in either Louisiana or Mississippi.

At one time in the history of our grand republic, political discourse was a much more civil endeavor. The Adams v. Jefferson election of 1800 was incredibly nasty and vicious.

The Kennedy's all have one thing in common other than their name.
The natural ability to be totally disgusting rich white trash.

Remember a time when politicans actually cared about the United States of America more than their own party.

I'm so glad I saw the light. Well, it wasn't a "light" actually. Observation, common sense, & my patriotism told me to get the he!! out of the Democrat party.

Although many still love him here, Robert C. Byrd is ripe for the taking. The problem is that the WV State Rep. Committee is in debt and disaray and the RNC is too incompetent to see just what an opportunity is at hand. This is a state that has voted in Pres. Bush twice but in which Dems outnumber Reps. by 2 to 1. A great number of people in WV are registered as Dems just to be able to accomplish anything locally. Still, the RNC ignores what could be a windfall.

Republicans are still adhering to the old rule of refusing to dignify preposterous mischaracterizations and insults with a respone.
The problem is, to today's undereducated voters, silence in the face of unjustified criticism equals not dignity but assent.
Lee Atwater and Dick Morris understood that.

The Adams v. Jefferson election of 1800 was incredibly nasty and vicious. It's true that there are countless examples in the past of very vicious and combative goings-on in the political arena, but at the end of the day, there was an underlying understanding that we're all on the same team. You fight to see your political beliefs and principles win out in the arena of ideas, and take your case to the people to decide by elections whose ideas they favor.
But I do think that Oliver North's observation is perfectly valid as it relates to today's Democrats. For some reason, they were a fun bunch of good ol' boys during all those years and years of absolute power, and the Republicans (as still seems to be the case too often) were perfectly content to be the loyal opposition, and when the day was done, to honorably accept political defeat and gracefully consider the outcome to be "the will of the people".
But with the Democrats, the hatred is real, palpable, and consumes them. It is a full-time preoccupation with discrediting Bush, demonizing conservatives and Christians, and blaming America for all the ills in the world.

Bingo. Now if we could just get the other fraction of the GOP and Conservatives in general on board, we'd be set.

The very liberal Mr. O'Neill had strenuously opposed the Reagan tax cuts, but the Speaker went on to say, "I want to wish you all the success in the world." That was gracious, but as I recall O'Neill in his biography claimed that the election of Ronald Reagan was a "sinful thing." Perhaps someone could confirm.
