The hard left had a candidate then — Henry Wallace — and don't have one now.

Shux! I wanted them to all line up from ugliest to dumbest behind Dennis Kucinich.

It is a little astonishing. Lear is one of those libs who dissociate ideals from practical consequences and as a result hold themselves blameless when their policies cause more harm than good. Children do that a lot.

Hey, be fair - you throw Kucinich in there and you have to normalize for species as well.

Aw come on. You don't feel that Kucinich groundswell. That tide of activism rising across America.

How could I possibly feel the Kucinich groudswell, when I’m being swept up in Lieberman’s “Joementum”?

Besides, I don't think Dennis scored with any chicks the last time he ran. The poor guy deserves another chance.

The Democrats already have someone they can get behind. He has been there right under their noses.

The news story recounting the event went on to report that "some Democratic activists are already warning that these votes could affect turnout in the 2006 midterm elections."

Wow, I hadn't thought of that element of "strategery" - the hardcore dems, having been whipped into an anti-Roberts frenzy, stay away from the voting booths in disgust at Senators who cast a principled and correct vote in favor of Roberts' confirmation.

I wonder if the Pubbies will pick up a seat or two in the Senate in '06?

Lear's idea of free speech is to protect the speech he likes and to bar that which he doesn't.

I'm trying to figure out the differences between what you post, versus what former FReeper "iconoclast" always wrote.

I'm not finding any differences. The vitriol is the same.


If you want a Google GMail account, FReepmail me.
They're going fast!
