It’s Time for Democrats to Attack, Pelosi Says [Dems are such wonderful unifiers, eh?]

New York Times ^ | 10/4/2010 | JOHN HARWOOD

[JohnHuang2]

If Washington normally blends the business of government with electoral politics, this week signifies a turn toward an unalloyed electoral brawl.

Democratic Congressional leaders have sent members home without resolving their greatest outstanding disagreement with Republicans, over the Bush tax cuts due to expire at year’s end.

[JohnHuang2]

What if they held a "massive," "humongous" and "mammoth" rally and nobody came?

So few bothered to show up for the "One Nation" gathering Saturday that the AP claimed the "DC rally shows support for struggling Democrats."

For five weeks, the nuts who organized the nearly nonexistent 'event' billed their little get-together as a counterweight to the Glenn Beck rally, which actually had attendees.

The day before the failed "rally," the always neutral and detached Washington Post ran an article headlined, "One Nation rally energizing liberals." The AP ran a story entitled, "Labor, civil rights groups seek to energize base." 'Expert' political 'observers' predicted that the "enthusiasm gap" would close once America sees and hears Ed Schultz and Al Sharpton ranting like maniacs on a stage.

But the "huge" crowd that was supposed to attend Saturday's "rally" was such a no-show, the media noticed it. Even the AP had to admit that "Saturday's crowds were less dense and didn't reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck's rally." The New York Times similarly acknowledged sadly that "significant areas of the National Mall that had been filled during Mr. Beck's rally were empty." (Rick Sanchez blamed it on the Jews' rally-suppression operation.)

Organizers counter that the Mall was filled to capacity, but that's only if you count Ed Schultz's potbelly.

Liberals left the Mall area filled with empty soda cans, coffee cups, plastic water bottles, posters, food trays, Twinkie wrappers, used condoms and crack pipes. These sanitation-oriented marchers wanted to show how much they revere the environment.

Now that their "massive" "rally" bombed, the Beck-ophobes claim they were not responding to Glenn Beck at all. It was just a coincidence that they held their "rally" near the Lincoln Memorial to not respond to Beck.

Libbies also insist their failed "rally" was a chance to unify America, which had to be why the unifying emcee Ed Schultz warned that "we must fight the forces of evil, the conservatives in this country across the board . . . The conservative voices of America, they are holding you down! They don't believe in your freedom!"

Building on these inspiring and motivational remarks, Schultz then added: "They hate freedom! They reject tolerance! They despise all dissent. They have objectives" -- oh, wait, that was President Bush describing al-Qaeda, a description the New York Times hysterically rejected as too "simpleton."

With the same mindset, the media accused Glenn Beck of trying to discredit the communist nutjobs who organized the "rally" by presenting them as communist nutjobs.

The bottom line is that the unions burned through millions of buckeroos for a low-turnout self-parody to protest the bastard conservative evil-doers for blocking the angelic Democrats who own the House, Senate and White House from enacting their lunatic agenda. That's a chunk of money that won't be available for the usual November vote-fraud ops and other honorable mischief. The "rally" also further nationalizes the elections, and if you're the ruling party presiding over a lousy economy after "Recovery Summer," that's not the first thing you'd want to do. But Democrats have never been accused of having any brains.

Anyway, that's...
My Two Cents...

It’s time for Democrats to attack?
That’s all they know how to do.

[BobP]

What have the Dems done in the past two years that warrants a reward at the polls?

We're tired of footing the bill for anti-American agendas. We don't want our wealth stolen and re-distributed.

Governments do not generate wealth, free-market enterprises do. The policies of Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes only work in academic debates, not real life.

Since Obama took office, 7,000,000 people have lost their jobs. You are a fool, following this inept liar who has lied about everything he has promised, from 'no lobbyists,' to 'most transparent,' to 'won't lose your current health care coverage.' This guy is a narcissist, who in truth, feels nothing for anyone. He is just about 'words' and the drones will willingly follow him over a cliff.

Kick the bums out, repeal Obama's policies, cut taxes, cut the red tape, cut the budget and close the border.

[Ev Reeman]

The dems know one thing: attacking (personal attacks as opposed to military war winning strategy).

They wrote the book on it.

They are not a positive political party; they are divisive and destructive. That is all they know how to do. That is how they govern using a kind of scorched earth policy.

What was once a great political party is now nothing more than a communist front organization.

[Just Lori]

I wonder what Truman would say about all this.

It’s Time for Democrats to Attack, Pelosi Says....

So whatever happened to "tolerance and compassion?" (/snix) God Almighty, these people are a bunch of phonies....political con artists....the lowest form of human life. Typhoid Pelosi is toxic --- her name alone will elect numerous Republicans. Dems are so far out of it---I hope they do attack. The backfire will reverberate for years. Pelosi is the Dems' kiss of death.

REFERENCE Clinton Plotting Tea Party Counterattack
BigGovernment | Feb 17, 2010 | Capitol Confidential
FR Posted on 02/18/2010 by MestaMachine

(Snip) Democrats are facing political annihilation this November. Not only do Democrats face the possibility of losing their congressional majorities, massive losses in state house races could jeopardize redistricting next year and set back the progressive agenda for at least a decade.

So, the Clinton Empire is planning to strike back. Big Government.com has learned that Clintonistas are plotting a “push/pull” strategy.

They plan to identify 7-8 national figures active in the tea party movement and engage in deep opposition research on them. If possible, they will identify one or two they can perhaps ‘turn’, either with money or threats, to create a mole in the movement. The others will be subjected to a full-on smear campaign. (Has MSNBC already been notified?)

Big Government has also learned that James Carville will head up the effort. Obviously, there is no love lost between Obama and the Clinton machine. It may at first seem odd that Clinton would rush to Obama’s defense, but the tea party movement poses a threat far beyond the immediate goals of the Obama Administration.

The tea party movement could evolve into a new political realignment, one founded on a belief in limited government and less government interference in the economy.

The Progressive agenda, which has been painstakingly built up over the last three decades, could be left in tatters. As the Clinton’s know, “politics ain’t beanbag.” Expect the counterattack soon. Don’t say you haven’t been warned. (Excerpt) Read more at biggovernment.com ...

CLINTON HAS THE SMEAR MACHINE IN HIS HIP POCKET

Clinton pictured above with ACORN founder Wade Rathke.
The tax-exempt Clinton Foundation had just donated $250,000 to ACORN.

=================================================

BACKSTORY The tax-exempt Clinton Foundation also provided $275,000 in tax-exempt grants supposedly for ACORNS’S "Katrina Benefits Access project" and ACORN'S "Operation Hope Project; Restore Hope." The tax-exempt Clinton Foundation also helped secure "private sector" commitments for ACORN.

JUST WONDERING Can ACORN produce records on how they spent the money? Oh, nevermind. The IRS, SEC, FBI, Congress and the GAO can find out (/snix).

========================================

James Carville will head up the attack effort? The same James Carville who wrote the book on Dems' 40 year dominance? ROTFL.

[rambo316]

Along with The Usurper, Clinton ought to be thrown in prison for all the he has done and what he is currently doing to America. America is held “hostage” by these douch bags, Slick Willey, Hitlery and the illegal.

...why do images of knights facing a white rabbit enter my mind??....run away - run away -

I saw this this morning looks like the start of smearing Demint. After reading this it explains it. Care is an arm of the DNC and Progressive movement. http://www.care2.com/causes/politics/blog/sen-demint-keep-gays-unwed-moms-out-of-public-school/

[hoosiermama]

“tolerance and compassion?” Only toward dem not by rats....

[Ezekiel]

That cover always pegs the creep-o-meter. There's the serpent CarVILE holding the Ouroboros while embracing Pharaobama, announcing 40 more years of demoncrat bondage - the generation wandering in the wilderness.

Hey bill... we have PICTURES of the wh0res you have been ****ing while your fat arsed canklesaurus has been playing at being SoS... we will release them and all of the beast's baggage too... keep it up blojob.

"It’s Time for Democrats to Attack", Pelosi Says

[bert]

The penalty for the big lie should be big death. The pols need a warning.....never again

[sickoflibs]

RE :” Nor, with her speakership on the line, does she object to Democrats in conservative districts appealing to their constituents by criticizing her. “I say go for it,” Ms. Pelosi said. She would counsel those vulnerable Democrats, “Just win your election.”

That was at the very bottom of the article at the link. Pelosi doesn't care if her house democrats run against her, as long as it works and they win the election and she gets the Speaker-ship back from it.

Moral: Don't trust house Democrats claiming to be against Pelosi, as Pelosi controls what gets voted on. A big enough loss and Pelosi wont even be minority leader.

[bert]

Her penalty for the destruction she has wrought should be much more than just not being speaker. The penalty should be final.

[MrB]

Seriously, I’d like to know exactly what leftists mean when they say “freedom”. It certainly doesn’t mean “self-governance” like any of the founders would have meant.

I’ve always thought that their definition of “freedom” would boil down to “freedom from responsibility”.

[MrB]

I think having the giant gavel shoved up her butt would be penalty enough... as long as they showed her on TV with the handle sticking out.

[sickoflibs]

I am going to miss her. Back in 2007-2008 no one knew she was Speaker. But I kept saying that as soon as Bush is gone and a Democrat takes the presidency that everyone will know who she is, and she will bring down Democrats.

Liberals are frustrated that most of the bills she passed got hung up in the Senate.

I am going to miss seeing her on TV making those crazy statements.

[Ev Reeman]

Self governance to a democRAT means the government is all in control of EVERYTHING, EVERY ASPECT OF ONE’S LIFE, MAKES EVERY DECISION FOR THE INDIVIDUAL since the democRATs believe the government is THE SELF.
