Dick Gephardt is the biggest loser that the Democratic Party has had in the last 50 years.

Well at least they got something right here.

"Democrats have to understand that this (anti-war stance) is a position that resonates with the American people," said Medea Benjamin, a spokesperson for the peace group Code Pink. Benjamin, a panelist at a workshop called "Next Stage for the Peace Movement," said the anti-war community fears what it sees as the Democratic Party's shift to the political center.

And I thought the liberals were flipping out!

The communists are barking mad.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

They figured out how America thinks and what is happening. The DNC got sucked in by the VRWC.

[MEG33]

Yes

[hellinahandcart]

Does progressive American = Communist pig now?

Congratulations, you've broken the code.

(It's meant that for quite a while now. :D)

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Why shoot fish in a barrel? This is more theraputic.

[hellinahandcart]

"Code Pinko" alert. Medea Benjamin hasn't died of embarassment yet.

[gulfcoast6]

Don't you just love it? I do, to see them 'come together' as a party.

[MEG33]

hehe

A massive capacity for warfare is an essential aspect of any thriving state, even one that requires liberty for its citizens. One could argue that most democracies require occasional engagements in warfare to protect their borders and political interests. Given the fact that America provided peace for the free world in the 20th century, and that peace was neither lasting nor acceptable in the face of Islamic jihad and communist aggression, we need to debunk the myth of a war to make the world safe for democracy. As long as there are evil people, there will be wars against those who live free.

In other words, NPR's view of the world is wrong. Americans will always fight for freedom, or America will cease to exist.

If Americans do not accept the notion of preemptive warfare for the defense of our nation and its revolution, the American revolution will soon be crushed.

He he he!

Any Dem that can juggle ALL the leftist special Interest groups various agendas and actually get them to support him/her deserves some special recognition. i would nominated Him or Her to be included on NewsMax's deck of weasels cards....... not as a clown, but as a Juggler.

I saw a brief news clip of the seminar and it seemed to be composed of every special agenda leftist group in the country. The poor Dem candidates who have to try to cater to all those folk- I feel sorry for all the candidates.

[bart99]

well said.

[bigghurtt]

"Democrats have to understand that this (anti-war stance) is a position that resonates with the American people,"

it sure does...a whopping 23% of them.

[BigWaveBetty]

"Democrats have to understand that this (anti-war stance) is a position that resonates with the American people,"

Uh yeah,, all 30% of them.

[bart99]

An interesting sidebar to the seminar - Lieberman wasn't there, and he's (according to National Polls) got the lead in their race - nationally. Interesting that he wasn't there. Perhaps because he's more of a centrist? Oh - I'm sure he had a scheduling conflict *snickering* OR simply realized this was a really really poor group of folk to be in front of stating ANY case for being the President.

Guess the only theme that won was anti-war, an even that's a losing proposition for the Dems. Wonder if anyone said "ALL the people represented here are just plain right and I support EVERY cause that's got an anti-bush banner attached to it and I"ll fight for your rights not to let anyone feel any differently about the cause YOU here represent." *sigh*
