Democrat's open letter to Hillary: "You Democrats blew it big time....."

Subject: You Democrats blew it big time.....

To: Sen. Hillary Clinton

November 6, 2002

Thanks to the spineless Democrats now in office and a party that had no platform or the guts to stand up to Bush, we are now stuck with Bush with unlimitless power at his disposal. He finally has control of everything like he has wanted.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of real concerned citizens out here - afraid for our futures, our jobs, our retirement and medical benefits, whether we're going to some unprovoked war - do you people actually listen to anyone????? We write and write and get no response and then our "representatives" go ahead and do what they want anyway. Where is our voice???

Up until now, I have followed politics very closely. Yesterday was the final straw- I'm not going to get an ulcer worrying about this country anymore. The people that voted for this lunacy deserve what is coming and you have to live with your own conscience for what you do. The past two years have ended an "innocence" that I enjoyed- and that was actually believing that this country stood for integrity, honesty and democracy. In reality, we are no different than the citizens of Afghanistan- we're at the whims of the very rich and very corrupt.

"unlimitless" was created for the occasion. It is a result of the "unboundlessly bottomlessness" of the writer's despair. Can't you see he/she/it is distraught?

It is now left only with the choice of fleeing to Canada, or, as the sun rises in the West, to commit 'seppuku'. He's been facing Buffalo, waiting for it to come up all day, but the Repugs even played with that...

Note to self: be sure to introduce this word to the official FR lexicon!

Just make sure you use it in sentences like, "All your unlimitless base are belong to us."

Being a follower of #42 and Hitlary, this person ( if they had half of a brain) would already know that they have been living the last 8 years at the whim of the very Rich and Corrupt, which those 2 Skunks certainly are both!

Hey, I didn't even realize you are from NM. What was the deal with that amendment anyway? Was it just a benign alteration or was it more sinister?

By the way, I had a friend who had a NM drivers' license. He said he was always getting harrassed by people who thought New Mexico was not a part of the US (he is Caucasian, by the way).

We are facing a huge deficit that Davis says is "not a spending problem, but a revenue problem". Translate that to 10 billion in new taxes. I am considering leaving the state, but not sure where I want to go.

Come to Tennessee. While the RINO's put Dimbulb Phil Bredesen into the governor's seat last night and we shifted from a 5-4 GOP US House split to a 5-4 Dem split - it's still a conservative state.

These winning Dems have to run on GOP ideas to get elected.

Besides, the cost of living is lower than California while we do a pretty good job keeping up with incomes! Here in Williamson county, just south of Nashville, the average household income is around $120K-$150K!

Oh, and we have AlGore to push around - it's a LOT of fun! lol

Is "unlimitless" a real word?

By the time you read this, the news media will be reporting that Bush said it.

The Dems actually think (or want us to believe they think) an "unlimitless" Bush is a good thing, according to CNN's Candy Crowley:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- It was history. It was surprising. It was pretty much everything George W. Bush wanted. The president invested a lot of political capital and risked his prestige with an intense election season effort, and he hit the trifecta: a Republican-controlled House (that has increased its margin), a Republican-controlled Senate and his brother returned to the governor's office in Florida.

It is a sweet day for the president who now has the raw materials needed to move his agenda through Congress in the last two years of his term. Politically, the president has never been more powerful than he is now -- nor as vulnerable.

In a logic that may seem twisted to anyone not living inside the beltway, Democrats see Bush's trifecta as their best bet in '04. "This is only good news for the '04 field," said one source close to one of the Democrats mulling a presidential bid. " Bush now has an unchecked government, " the source added. "That means voters will hold only one party responsible for the state of play, in particular the head of that party."

The public gave the popular president what he wanted, a Congress dominated by his own party. Now he has to produce. If he doesn't, he can't blame Democrats.

Welcome to the 2004 presidential race, which begins to quicken now as Democrats flirting with the possibility of a run begin to read the details of the '02 votes for signs that would point them toward a yes or no. Here's the early take:

•House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle have both been mentioned as presidential possibilities. Gephardt's lust for the top job is obvious. Daschle's has been noncommittal They are way diminished. For the months prior to the election, Democrats have suggested that for both men the decision will be "up or out," meaning: run for president or retire. "Seems to me they are history, " said one political strategist. At the very least they have lost a platform in the Senate.

•Freshman Sen. John Edwards' presidential computations now may have to include the defeat of Democrat Erskine Bowles in Edwards' North Carolina home.

•The reverberations of '02 probably are felt most keenly in the inner-circle of Al Gore's deliberations. The former vice president (who won the 2000 popular vote) [Really? Oh, that's right - voter fraud] was the first highest profile Democrat to speak out against the president's policy on Iraq, energizing others to speak up. Many partisan Democrats say the failure of elected Democrats to take on the president is what led to last night's debacle. If that is so -- and as yet there is no exit poll data to tell us -- then Gore may be on the right course.

Still, Gore was fairly prominent in two of the highest profile defeats of the night. Gore often invoked the specter of the 2000 debacle telling Democrats to take their anger to the polls. No sign that's an effective get-out-the-vote mechanism. Jeb Bush easily won re-election in Florida, despite Gore efforts on behalf of Bush's opponent. Likewise in Maryland, where Gore lent an assist to Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, who lost her bid for the governorship -- handing the office to Republicans for the first time since Spiro Agnew.

•Sen. Joe Lieberman? He's waiting for Gore to decide. Vermont Gov. Howard Dean? If it's an anti-Bush that Democrats want, he is to the left of Al Gore without the baggage (but without the household name).

•And Sen. John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) was probably the season's luckiest Democrat. He ran unopposed in the country's most Democratic state and saved himself a lot of money in the process. All the better to run with, but he may first have to explain what happened in neighbor state New Hampshire. Jeanne Shaheen, who got a lot of visitors in her first primary in the nation state, lost her bid for senate to Republican John Sununu. "No matter who is looking at '04, " said one Democrat, "you gotta be wondering about jumping in."

Of course, that's what a lot of Democrats said when they took a pass on another Bush with sky-high approval ratings. It left the field open for a little known governor from Arkansas named Bill Clinton. link.

I think there was something more devious involved. Realize that we have been staddled with a Demorat State House and Senate for the last 70 years.

On the ballot the proposed ammendment only said "to allow certain individuals the right to vote."

There was no clarification on the ballot as to who these "individuals" were.

On the other topic. Our Chamber of Commerce here in Alb. gets thousands of calls every year by people asking questions like. "Do I need to bring my passport?" and "What is the exchange rate?" Tell your friend to do what I do. I bring my Passport when I'm traveling out of state.

No. The guy is an idiot dupe. The innocence he enjoyed was the bliss of ignorance. That he felt betrayed by his own party does fill me with some schadenfreund, but the fact that he seriously believes that the Republicans are out to take his job and his social security etc only proves why the democrats lost -- they have nothing to run on but fearmongering, and now he will have to live his worse nightmare. Of course, in the end he will realize that things aren't going to be so bad after all... and the Democratic party just may have shot themselves dead after all since when he realizes that the GOP is going to make his life better, he will probably not care to see Democrats win ever again.

Indeed, and not just winning, but winning big. The press wanted us to believe JEB was in trouble, but his margin of victory demonstrates what a bunch of liars they are.

Alas, if only we had it so good here in the Copper State. Whichever way it goes here it is frustratingly close.
