'No Labels' rally: Bipartisan with Democratic tinge
Washington Examiner ^ | December 13, 2010 | Byron York

The people who attended the "No Labels" conference here on the campus of Columbia University really, really want the government to get things done. "So much partisanship, and not enough getting things done," said Antonio Villaraigosa, the Democratic mayor of Los Angeles who traveled across the country to join No Labels' fight against the "excessive polarization and hyperpartisanship of American politics.".....

The event featured appearances by a number of Democratic politicians: Villaraigosa, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, and retiring Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh. For some reason, most of the Republicans who showed up were recently defeated officeholders: South Carolina Rep. Bob Inglis, Delaware Rep. Mike Castle, and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. God knows why a group devoted to principle above politics would invite the opportunistic Crist to speak, but No Labels did.

The events were moderated by MSNBC personalities Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Dylan Ratigan, and Michael Smerconish. If Fox News seemed to be associated with the Tea Party, then No Labels was an MSNBC affair

For the RINOS, “Don’t call us Losers!” And they say RINO sitings are rare these days.

I think it is quite normal for RATS to hide, and do their work when no one is looking.
In the light of day, they certainly want to hide.

It’s not a Tea Party. It’s not even really a Coffee Party. It’s the Postum Party!

And I know that if publicity is involved, Antonio Villaraigosa is there, dude, but seriously...New York? In this economy? The man’s a tool.

"Labels ... get in the way of getting things done," said Tom Davis, the former Republican congressman from Virginia...
...and current leading moron and dickhead from the "global community".

Same thing as always - fascism.

But they’ve come to find out that whatever label they put on the can, folks soon find out what’s in the can.

Now, you see that can over there that has all the labels ripped off? Yeah, that one. It has fascism in it.

If you want compromise, just support the Republican RINOs. Maybe name it the ‘Weak Tea Party’

Kinda funny how this moderate push always seems to come up when conservatives start winning.

The ‘No Labels’ party so we can attempt to fool you again! As we sit here, Obama’s Czars are working to dismantle the very core of our Society.

If we actually tell you what we will be doing, you would never vote for us. Pay no attention to the Socialist behind the curtain (Soros)!

The fact that Smerconish is involved shows there are no underlying principles at play here, other than a love of power and influence.

What a gaggle of loser whiners. Given who attends and supports this “no label” party, it is obvious why why they want no labels. I guess they are uncomfortable with the apt label they all have: L O S E R S.
