Still reeling, Democrats struggle over '04 strategy

The Clintons will suck all the political oxygen up, greedy swine they are, leaving nothing for the 2004 Rat presidential candidate.

and that, exactly, is the plan. What all these liberal media articles can't come to grips with as they struggle to come up with a strategy to win in 2004, is simply that - the plan is for the Dems to LOSE in 2004, because that is what the Clintons want.

''I share some of the frustration -- not because of where Bush is, or all the money he's raising, but because I want a little more of Harry Truman in the party,'' said former Illinois senator Paul Simon. ''I want us to stand up and be willing to take unpopular stands.''

Is Simon on Mars? Geeze, that's all the Rat party does is take unpopular stands!

He continued: For that reason, Howard Dean, who comes out of nowhere, almost -- with all due respect to Vermont -- he has picked up a lot of steam because there is a feeling that here is a guy who really is fighting for things.

Same tired old drivel.... Rats think the public wants to hear about them "fighting for things". Thank God they haven't a clue that their constant pessimism and negativity is not only a huge turn off to the electorate, but so very old already.

Yes the GOP has done an excellent job of implementing the Dems socailist agenda. Great work GOP.

"Vermont Populist" Dean is actually a born and bred very wealthy Park Avenue, New York (literally) limousine liberal, member of mega-exclusive Private Country Clubs including his summer family mansion in the Hamptons. You know, the kind with blacks or Hispanic servents, but no members.

Ya gotta love these rats. They take hypocrisy to outer space new heights.

[jpsb]

Why sould any Republican vote for more
entitlements,
tax cuts for people that don't pay taxes
federal takeover of public schools
citizenship for tens of millions of illegal aliens
acceptance of the homosexual agenda
continuation of insane trade policy
etc
Why?

Thanks for shedding light on Dean's silver spoon background. Maybe one of these days the dimwit sheeple will notice that the Rat party only consists of hypocritical power mongering race pimps, but I doubt it.

That's why they are sheeple, molded by a completely corrupt lamestream media. Our job is to educate them and to liberate them from the liberal plantation.

[liberalnot]

it may take them several years or even decades to realize what happened. meanwhile, this is not to say that hillary and her ilk might not run and win in 2008.

what the democrats do not understand is that it's their 70-year history of gradualism to the left that's at issue, from fdr and the old left, thru' the new left and the disintegration of the democrat party.

the democrats are no longer "for the working person", if they ever were.

the democrats are for the rich unions, hollywood moguls, public schools and universities--all of which betrayed american working people.

the democrats are laughable, and rush has made probably $100 million laughing at them.

when they wake up to this reality, they'll get real again.

I speak as a former ACLU card carrying, naive democrat (Hey I was 20 years old, smoked pot and Marlboros, and was a complete moron in Graduate School).

Having escaped my slavery, I know from personal experience that there are many democrats hungering for freedom. We just have to teach them, to break their psychological chains.

Inside every liberal, there is an Ann Coulter or Mike Savage yearning to be unleashed.

[demkicker]

Okay, here's my true confessions... I smoked cigarettes and pot in my college days and early twenties. However, my most embarrassing admission is that I voted for Jimmy 'Catuh' (yikes).

You are right, of course, about educating people. I will always be indebted to Rush Limbaugh for opening my blind eyes and to Free Republic for knowledge, comfort and keeping me on my toes.

'We are near rock bottom, " ... ''The good news is, there's nowhere to go but up.''

Political rock bottom was demonstrated in the 1993 Canadian election. The Progressive Conservatives were Canada's ruling party from 1984 to 1993. In the 1993 election, they won only 2 seats in Parliament out of 295. A comparable Democrat performance in 2004 would be 3 seats in the House, and zero of the 33 Senate seats up for grabs.

Now that would be something to see! This is where Bush's $200M will come in handy.

"The 'rats are under the iron thumb of the narcissistic sociopath Clintons who control the DNC through their vile winged monkey Terry McAwful, the DNC chair-vermin. "

They are, dear, they are. As my grandmother might say. It's sad in a way, I feel sorry for them, but I wonder why they can't see this, and do something about it. McAwful keeping his job after the debacle of the mid-term elections staggers my mind. What evil power do the Clintoons have that they continue to control the Dem Party?

[friendly]

Who cares how or why the Clintons run the DNC? I say it is an endless blessing for the Republicans.

The day the Rats wise up and kick the Clintons out of their control of the DNC will be a sad day for Republicans.

"Inside every liberal, there is an Ann Coulter or Mike Savage yearning to be unleashed."

LOL, does this frighten me? I hope it frightens them, anyway!

Every time I hear Ann Coulter or Mike Savage, I think of the Hulk... "Don't make me angry'... "You won't like me when I am angry!"

LOL
