Bingo!

Leftie blogs will do a far, far more effective job of crippling the donkey party than we mere rightwing bloggers could ever hope to achieve.... Its a perfect logjam. The leftie activist-blog hordes won't allow a winnable Dem to take the Dem primary and and the person who dioes take the Dem primary won't be winnable in a straight nationwide prez contest.... chicken-egg situation, eh?

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Sure, the DemonRats are reaching for center. Right now, Stalin and Chairman Mao are to the right of their positions, so the reach toward the center means nothing.

[goresalooza]

I thought Kaine was the rat pundits' choice to beat all the other dwarves in the primary in 08. This is going to be fun! Just another day as the animal channel broadcasts on "animals who eat their own".

They are enraged with the fact that not everyone agrees with them.

I really find it quite humorous---it is like watching a bunch of adolescent girls off in a corner pouting.

Most of them were going to leave the country last year after the election. It would be nice if they had.

[Cicero]

Maybe all that money from George Soros and the Billionaire's club isn't helping as much as they expected. Instead, it's hung an albatross around their necks.

a flaccid Democratic response

The ultimate insult to Clinton Democrats.

I love the smell of burning liberals in the morning...

"John Kerry is beginning to bring the traditional Democratic leadership in Washington together with the untraditional netroots activists of the country,"

I almost took this story seriously until I read that. A losing agenda can not be spun into something palatable without the MSM monopoly intact.

making their influence felt through relentless e-mail campaigns

"Making their influence felt"? Same people who think that 'SPAM works!'

[Babu]

The DemonKats in Washington are beholden to the George Soreass/Liberal Blogasphere Kooks $$$, and they know it!!

...While we on the Right gleefully watch the Kooks take the Dim party down the tubes.

It's a bootiful thing ...

Would a split in the Democratic Party that could create a new moderate party have any effect on the Republican Party? Is it possible that the fence riders and RINOS might join such a movement that could in many ways appeal to a very wide segment of the population? As a conservative I value the Republican policies of reducing the size of government and the taxes that have been inundated on us to pay for it. But the Republican Party has not really lived up to it's own agendas. We haven't had a balanced budget since Bush came to office. Government has only grown. And my paycheck is still getting slashed for the same amount as when Clinton left office. The Republican Party may be affected as much by the emigration of moderates from the Democrats as they would be.

That is unless the Republican Party really starts to turn the heat up on it's agenda. An increase in the Republican numbers after the November elections could do much to facilitate just such an effort. With a clear majority in both houses, the Republicans can begin to chip away at age old progressive idols such as Social Security and the IRS. It can tackle the issues of the bloated federal government, lower taxes even more than they already have, and find ways to balance the budget.

I realize there are many more challenges today than in previous years, but I also believe that is why America is turning to conservatives for leadership. These leaders voice the ideological opinions that people in crisis like to hear. They offer solutions rather than complain about the problems. They give a message of hope and an attitude of success rather than depression and failure. Yet, the message has still not been acted upon by those leaders in the House or the Senate.

2007 should be a banner year for the conservative movement and the opportunity to further it. With the expected increase in the majority of Republicans, conservative based legislation should move through like a kayak down a fast river. But this can only be assured by a vocal and adamant conservative constituency. One that promotes conservatism as a way to solve the problems we face today, and not just as a way to combat liberalism and big government.

Crazy Cindy Sheehan's threats to "run" against Feinstein and Rodham have them going through the Depends by the truckload. LOL!

[Talking_Mouse]

This is going to be a WONDERFUL year.

[Soul Seeker]

Basically, this is sort of the flip side of what happened with Miers.

The base uprising and demanding a certain result.

In our case, we got Alito.

In the Dems' case, they are bordering on giving the GOP 60 seats by adhering to their kooks despite the GOP's attempts to slam the door in its own face throughout the last year.

Since they got such a kick out of our fight a few months ago, I'm going to just sit back and observe with some enjoyment their predicament. It can't end well, no matter the result. Long term it's going to hurt them. In the shor term? Probably hurt them too provided the GOP remains firm.

Popcorn, please.

Blogs like Kos and MoreOn.org?

They're always ready to toss the drowning man of the Dimocratic Party an anvil!

[de Buillion]

Let's you and him go out and fight!

[goldstategop]

The Lefties are frustrated the Democrats don't move to where they are... and they're taking it out on the likes of Reid and Pelosi. Life is beautiful!
