Think about it the Dems just dont get it during President Bush term there was 9/11,the recovery from that, but there was also, the following events the man from my state who sued to get the Pledge out of school siting it was violating his daughters right yet his daughter was a Christian and lived with her mom, than there was the Judge Moore incident what harm did 10 good commandments do to hurt people and the fact that Judge Moore paid for the stone oh yes I forget it was in a STATE building yet go to the Washington area there are many things that evoke the name of GOD it is part of our hertiage. The Gay Marriage issue once again in CA the lovely Mayor of San Fran decided he was going to BREAK the law and let people get married of the same sex yet it was a violation of the state and city law but Gavin decided he was the darling of the Dems and broke the law should I go on When you destroy ever ounce of what this country is all about people are going to stand up and rise.
And also,do they honestly think it was in there best interest to continue to attack the President on everything for the party who believes in all people they sure found alot wrong in G.W.
and finally they say (the dems )they stand up for social issue the poor, the suffering etc. well so do the Republicans and the Christians they are making fun of right now are the very people who give money to other countries in there offerings, feed the homeless, help the sick, help battered woman and children I think it was Al Gore in charity gave less than that of G.W.Bush so for the party (the Dems)who are interested in the down and out think about alot of times it is the very people they dislike who help the down and out.
and that would be who THE REPUBLICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too often we're caricatured as a bicoastal cultural elite that is condescending at best and contemptuous at worst to the values that Americans hold in their daily lives."

Caricatures work because they are true.

"How did a party that is filled with people with values - and I am a person with values - get tagged as the party without values?"

One of my favorite questions for any RAT - name one traditional liberal value. Ties 'em up in knots every time.

Someone on Fox & Friends mentioned something about Karl Rove (the architect) designing a plan to make Pubbies THE governing party - for a long, long time. Once the RATS get that news, you'll be able to HEAR the hospitals fill up with nervous breakdown victims...

For the first time in years I have been enjoying watching the MSM channels with all their lib commentators agonizing over why Bush kicked their butts.

The lame explanations are just astounding.

Of course after watching them bash Bush for 4 years non-stop it is GREAT to see them endlessly lament how he ultimately beat them all.
I am truly enjoying this.

>>>>"I remember being on a trip with him in New Mexico: I put a cowboy hat on Senator Kerry and someone on his staff shuddered and asked me to stop," he said. "This is I think an example of the East Coast not connecting with the West Coast and with the rest of the country."

"and someone on his staff shuddered and asked me to stop"

Interesting. Who was this that shuddered?

I had to correct this quote to reflect the reality. Hey, the quote is fake, but accurate.

The Democratic Party is a party looking for a soul. I hope Hillary runs.

"Party officials said they were concerned about evidence of a cultural gap between Democrats and much of the country. Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico said that his dealings with Mr. Kerry and his advisers had vividly demonstrated to him the problems the party faces.

"I remember being on a trip with him in New Mexico: I put a cowboy hat on Senator Kerry and someone on his staff shuddered and asked me to stop," he said. "This is I think an example of the East Coast not connecting with the West Coast and with the rest of the country."

I love this story.

First off, "slow in responding to attacks on his war record by Vietnam veterans"...........
well, no, not exactly, they were rather quick to respond:
they slammed and slandered O'Neill and the rest of the Swifties, threatened lawsuits,bookstores,etc... they did EVERYTHING BUT ANSWER the charges. This is the political equivalent of Scott Peterson not taking the stand. Add that to the ongoing souring of the undecideds as they looked at Kerry, continuously embarrassing himself at every turn, while assuring everyone he had a "plan" for everything.
But really, this is going to be SOOOOOOO interesting, to watch the Dems as they cast about for a direction, an identity, a face to present to the public and their lost or shrinking constituency. In his concession/congratulations phone call to Bush, I heard that Kerry lectured him on how we had a divided country and how Bush was now charged with the responsibility to bring us together. (This from a man and a campaign who were all the more viciously unfair the more gentlemenly they were treated.) I can't pretend to be able to predict what the Dems can do as a strategy to avert their inevitable withering away as a Party. They are too practiced in mumbo-jumbo and demagoguery which has already proven to be self-defeating. The idiocy of putting up a candidate like Kerry shows what poor judges of political character they are: it was an act of shooting the moon and shooting themselves in the foot, at the same time. Their hopes are pinned on Hillary, and I think it will be her careful positioning and equally careful and always positive coverage by the MSM over the next 3 years that will be the thing to watch and marvel at. The MSM's big project will be to rehabilitate themselves through a very slow and careful'
promotion of Hillary Clinton. We have to make sure it won't work, and start thinking NOW on how to undermine her, because this is one crafty broad.
