Democrat on Leftist Website converts to Bush-Backer; Read Testimony

May 17, 2003

On my monthly drive-by of left-wing websites, I noticed a mountain of collective scorn heaped by DUmb denizens on a recent Republican convert over the war on Iraq.

The poor fellow seems to have had it with the indecisiveness, the pettyness, the stale rhetoric and the lack of new ideas from his old party. Here are some exchanges between this enlightened soul and delusional posters on this sanity-challenged website that will go unnamed:

***********************************************************************************

Convert: They (Pelosi and Daschle) know Bush is right! Our so-called allies were in bed with saddom. It was a great stroke into the war on terrorism. Even Syria is wanting to take credit for the latest capture. The Democratic party is pretty much dead in the water cause they are living in the past. This isnt the 60s and it isnt vietnam.I havent heard a single Democrat talk about anything other then universal health care and thats a dead issue. Americans dont want it as a whole. None of the dems even stand a chance agaist Bush in 04. Maybe you should all take the next 5 years to open your eyes and see its not 1969 any more!!! lol

Idiots: Let it go, brother. Ain't no one here talking about the past as much as you have in this one post of yours alone.

What we're talking about here are timeless issues of peace, social justice, the common good, human dignity, fairness, democracy. We're not talking about things limited to the "'60s", we're talking about the very issues that humanity has struggled with for 60 centuries or more.

The Democratic Party... has been spineless since the 2000 election when they allowed the media, repubs, and Bush's cronies to attack Gore unfairly and then steal the electio. You can't find a democrat in Washington, DC who is pissed off about the 2000 election anymore. Our party is spineless and that is why we will lose seats in the house and senate in 2004 and will probably lose the White House for the first time since 1988.

I truly hate the Washington, DC dems. They are suppose to give us a voice in Washington and all they do is kiss Bush's arse!

As of tonight I don't have a party...

Agree completely, they are ALL pretty much completely out of touch. I really had high expectations for Pelosi, it looks like she is just another spineless wishwashy wimp or worse. The system appears to be beyond just broken it is dead and rotting.

Convert: All 15 nations on the security council knew they existed The entire security council voted yes to knowing that those weapons existed. Then when it became obvious the U.S. was gonna go ahead they all got desperate. They were all in compliance with Iraq and made sure saddam had time to either destroy or hide or move the weapons to another country. Viva La France!!!

Seems all you who wanted to give Hans Blix More and More time...wanna not give the inspectors that are there now any time. The war isnt even near 2 months over and you wanna cry U.S. foul. You are all a bunch of hypocrites who see the world as a socialist experiment. That experiment has been done over and over and it DON'T work.

I was raised as a democrat...grandfather was teacher, mom teacher, brother teacher. Its a really sorry thing for me to see that the Left has gone so Nutso that they can only bash Bush rather then offer ideas. What a sad commentary, I have always been registared as a democrat but I can see myself shifting. All the Democrats stand for seems to be bash Bush and not offering up ideas. I think universal health care is a mistake. Canadiens that can afford it come to the U.S. for critical care. I dont wanna have to wait for 3 days when i am having a stroke or a heart attack.

I for one, will vote for Bush in 04. He is sincere and has done what he said he will. With Bush the country is safer and thats #1!!! Mike

I spent the entire period during the war (Iraqi Freedom) "underground"- behind enemy lines so to speak. I don't know if I made any difference. I gave it my best shot though.

That is absolutely my favorite part of the movie and the ensuing battle as well

One of many great lines!

I hope he finds his way to FreeRepublic.com.

[Anamensis]

Yeah, it's probably a troll, but if not, yay, you know?

[ladyinred]

The democrats all parrot the same tired old lines. There must be a memo sent out to each party member weekly.

I'm sure he's been to this board a million and one times by now. Half of the DUmpster children have at one time or another signed up, and they regualry read this board. Several of them have e-mailed me to complain about my old tag line, saying they were crying and calling me a sicko. They check this board more then there own.

By the way, my old tagline was

"If you want a few more Wellstones, well, just play with the screws a little bit, not that I did that or anything.

The average rank-and-file Democrat probably wants to write-in President Bush's name when primary time comes.

[JSteff]

I sincerely hope so. I think they are going to get much nastier by then. We are going to see despicable things like we have never seen before in politics.

We need to stay strong and be wary because it will come.

Yes. Pray for the best ,but prepare for the worst.

So, uh, I would suppose that on that post he was banned ??

Thanks for the post and the ping. A sane voice in the DU well of insanity . . .

I read this until it turned red, then my hair started to hurt. Don't get me wrong. I tend to agree w/the article in some respects...but the red stuff gott'a go.

Mustang sends from "Malpaso News"

[pettifogger]

Hmmmm. While it's heartening to read this "conversion," sounds like it might just be a FReeper trying to talk sense into those folks. Either way, it's a good story.

I grew up in a democrat household. My whole family is democrat, except for one cousin. When I was in college, 21, and voting for the first time (back in the dark ages when you still had to be 21 to vote) I became a Republican. I tell you, it is refreshing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lurky]

The Dems, terrorist-like, dislike

Does every opponent now have to be a "terrorist"? We're gonna dumb down the definitions of "terrorism" and "terrorist" until no one knows what the hell anyone is talking about anymore.

All of his relatives are Democrats and teachers and check out the spelling and grammar:

"I was raised as a democrat...grandfather was teacher, mom teacher, brother teacher. Its a really sorry thing for me to see that the Left has gone so Nutso that they can only bash Bush rather then offer ideas. What a sad commentary, I have always been registared as a democrat but I can see myself shifting. All the Democrats stand for seems to be bash Bush and not offering up ideas.

It speaks volumes, however brave and true the message is.
