Between now and Nov 2006 you will see lots of "conservative" issues being pushed to get the base placated, docile and in line.

Kinda makes one suspect that they NEVER intend to give the base what it wants... they'd lose campaign issues, and have to start actually EARNING their votes..

Don't trust any of them.

[DeweyCA]

And the Republican counter-part to him in the Senate is Elizabeth Dole, who has done a horrible job in recruiting candidates. Why did the Pubbies pick a "nice" Southern moderate woman to do the job that requires a "hard-nose" attitude? We needed somebody with an attitude like Tom DeLay, Mike Pence, or Tom Coburn.

Only Paul Begala would fantasize about a ballet dancer's balls.

Nominate for best reply of the day!

Rahm sounds more psychotic than "intense".

[Panic in the Streets]

Spare me your name calling.

Congress has little or no say in foreign affairs.

Even the Dems arent stupid enough to pull funding for troops on the field.

The last appropriation for them passed unanimously in the Senate.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Rahmmy should find Michelle and have a Clinton creep reunion.

Emanuel reeks of slime.....he sands off his horns every morning.

"Only Paul Begala would fantasize about a ballet dancer's balls."

LOL

"He's got this big old pair of brass balls, and you can just hear 'em clanking when he walks down the halls of Congress," says Paul Begala, who served with Emanuel on Clinton's staff.

"Even the Dems arent stupid enough to pull funding for troops on the field. "

Yes they are that stupid. Democrats cannot be trusted with our security

[McBuff]

"He's got this big old pair of brass balls, and you can just hear 'em clanking when he walks down the halls of Congress," says Paul Begala,

He also knows how they taste.

[Panic in the Streets]

Well, the Senate voted something like 98-0 for continued appropriations for Iraq and Afghanistan.

Again, they are not dumb enough to yank funding.

[StAnDeliver]

"That's a view Emanuel wholeheartedly shares. "We get into this stupid argument every four years: centrists vs. leftists," he says. "That is not the argument today. It is change vs. status quo. In 1992, Bill Clinton was a change agent -- he won. In 1994, Newt Gingrich was a change agent -- he won. In 1996, Bill Clinton was a change agent to Dole and Gingrich -- he won. In 1998, Democrats represented a change from the Republican drive for impeachment -- they won. In 2000, George Bush was a credible change agent. In 2002, Democrats failed to convey change -- and they lost."

What about 2004, dipshit? You know, the election where Democrats were stomped like grapes!

You might think you're in a safe seat, ballet boy, but you're not.

[brazzaville]

Good morning.
"Even the Dems arent stupid enough to pull funding for troops on the field."

If they thought it would hurt Republicans or advance the socialist agenda, the DemocRATs would pull funding for the troops in a heartbeat. Hell, they would sacrifice their firstborn with a flint dagger if they thought it would help create a socialist America and you should never underestimate the stupidity of liberals

His actions sound like somebody on drugs! I'm serious.

But I loved this statement: "'We're the party of change,' Emanuel tells me." ROTFLOL!

Everything the dems say is rehashed stuff they've used before. If they really wanted change - they'd come up with some NEW stuff.

[Sabramerican]

Emanuel lost the [middle] finger to a meat slicer

Didn't know he knew Lorraine Bobbit.

[ncountylee]

Rahm Emanuel and Paul Begala aren't the face but the butt ofthe democrat party.

The other Monica Lewinsky speaks out.

[RedRover]

Congress has little or no say in foreign affairs.

Not so. Among other things, it was Congress that gutted the CIA in the '70s and '80s and that had an enormous effect on foreign affairs. The times are too dangerous to let the Dems regain control of Congress.

[NHResident]

Rahmmie sweetie sounds like a gay, cuban ballet dancer dealing with his 'issues' with a combination of drugs and rage. Belgala sounds like he'd like to let Rahmmie sweetie work out some of his rage on him.

[Lancey Howard]

Figures - - a long-time bag boy for the Daley mob is the perfect choice for the Democrats.
Actually, I'm surprised that Fitzie hasn't thrown the little scumbag in jail yet.
