Angry Democrats: Lost Birthright - Why they hate Bush as much as Republicans once hated FDR

Opinion Journal ^ | 09/22/03 | ROBERT L. BARTLEY

To protect democracy, three judges of the far-left Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals have just canceled elections in California. The last horselaugh, I'd hope, for the Democratic charge that Republicans are subverting democracy. As we saw in this space last week, the charge was already a pretty silly explanation of the patent anger surging through the Democratic primaries.

This title is a lie. I still hate FDR.

Those liberals I know that are capable of speech, seem angriest at the fact that with the exception of his pathetic little useless taxcuts(which drive them insane)
he is implementing their agenda at twice the rate any of their champions could have hoped to accomplish.

There is simply no longer a need for democrats.

Did I mention they hate his tiny little tax cuts?

As Rush says, the Rats are most entertainig when they are out of power.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Mr. Bartley nails it.
ENVY !

[Cicero]

The chief reason for their anger is, indeed, that they think they deserve to run the country, and they blame Bush for throwing them out of power and for threatening to reduce even what little power they have left to block and obstruct.

It would be pathetic if they didn't have the wretched, dishonest media on their side.

If so, Reagan was right to hope that George Bush would complete his legacy--just a little premature . . .

And Jeb, supposedly the smart one, is currently the most prominent vote-getting Republican Governor. If GHWB's sons end up providing the leadership that keeps the Democrats in the political wilderness for a generation, I might actually forget Dick Darman.

I think much of their anger comes from the fact that they are being exposed for the devious little malefactors that they are. They have lost the ability to pull the wool over the eyes of Americans (but for the most uninformed) so they compensate by shrieking their lies and outrage loudly and repeatedly in hopes that if what they say is heard often enough and at a high enough pitch, the people will believe it. The dumbest ones will.

If roles had been reversed and a Democratic president's party had actually gained seats in both chambers of Congress in the first midterm election, we'd still be hearing about it 24/7 for 10 months or more following. The blatant bias of the media makes me sick.

[sweetliberty]

"The blatant bias of the media makes me sick."

You and me both. And what makes me even angrier is the fact that they can spew their lies and insinuations without conscience for the sole purpose of influencing the opinion of an ignorant and uninformed public for whom theirs' is the primary, if not the only, source of information when it comes to news, politics and current events.

[libstripper]

"Not many of them actively hope the U.S. fails in Iraq, of course"

Everything he says is dead on right, except for this. The entire DemonRAT pArty is nothing but a criminal conspiracy of traitors and dupes.

[whereasandsoforth]

Fine article, except it leaves out one of the more obvious truths. The democrats are liars and socialist. Their hatred for President Bush stems from the fact that he is a good and decent person. He makes democrats look, by comparison, to be exactly what they are. To see them for what they are is the most dangerous scenerio for them. President Bush is a necklace of garlic and a golden Cross in their dark sinister world.

>>>>Current Democratic anger will likely in the fullness of time prove to be the rantings of an establishment in the process of being displaced.

How true. The so-called Democratic Party has degenrated into America's version of PRI.

The Democrat Party: The Party of Perjury and Obstruction of Justice; the Party of Corruption; the Party of Election Fraud; the Party of Race-Baiting; the Party of Class Envy and Warfare; the Party of Demagoguery; the Party of Appeasement; the Party of Sedition; the Party of Hand-wringers, Gloom-and-Doomers, Naysayers and Nitpickers...

Marking a great article (and your great description of the Democrat Party).
