The Democrats Gloat Thread

re: Wild Cards"

Evangelistic christianity compulsory in the Air Force? Isn't that just about the most chilling thing you've read? Creepy.

Yeah. Americanism going downhill very fast, and most don't give a shet or are ignorant of what Bushco has done to this country.

... and anybody else who hysterically fears Christianity.

hysterically?

Evangelists of any religion are the most dangerous sects; why is it odd to keep an eye on their antics, and to ensure that their stated goals of a theocracy here in America don't come about?

Cycloptichorn

Most don't fear christianity or christians, just some fundamentalist christians that wants to change our laws to reflect their religious' beliefs. Now, that's dangerous!

Late in coming, but...

Robert Byrd to President Bush: We Can Impeach You

In a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, former Ku Klux Klansman, Sen. Robert Byrd, pledged to put President Bush on trial in the Senate if the House impeaches him.

Addressing the president in absentia, Sen. Byrd began by warning that Congress retains all its original powers under the Constitution.

"You better read that again in the Constitution," Byrd said, declaring that the Senate's powers include "serving as a court of impeachment.

"You better believe it, Mr. President," Byrd continued. "The Senate can send you home. You better believe that."

The ex-Klansman then added: "If the House impeaches you, the Senate will try you. The Senate, don't forget it, serves as a court of impeachment and has an equal say with the House on legislation."

Over at Democrats.com, where a transcript of Byrd's remarks turned up, the outburst was greeted enthusiastically.

Reacting to the West Virginia Democrat's impeachment threat, one poster declared, "Man, I like the sound of that . . . you've got to like whatever gumption some of these guys found while they were on their congressional break."

George Will just said on TV (the roundtable discussion on Stefanopolis's show) something about the Democrats' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Sometimes he's right.

JLN, So true. Some of us have been saying that Bush is incompetent; we must also say that democrats have nothing over Bush.

Yes, C.I., second only to Republican maliciousness is my fear of the Democrats' political incompetence.

Even Kerry would beat Bush Jr now, if there'd be a re-run - by a seven-point margin:


Democrats should heed an implicit word of warning in these numbers though: note that, although Bush would get 10% less now, Kerry would not get a single percent more.

nimh, I'm afraid those kind of "what if's" don't hold much water. Kerry lost the election all by himself by his inability to debate Bush one-on-one.

I also used to think Kerry was much smarter than Bush as far as college education was concerned, but it seems they both had similar grades at Yale.

I prefer another candidate over Kerry; Obama seems like a good one for 2008.

Dick Morris: Only Gore Can Stop Hillary

By Dick Morris and Eileen McGann
Special to NewsMax.com

As we look toward 2008, it is obvious Republicans would like to see their GOP nominee triumph. Democrats clearly want one of their own in the White House. But there are many who want to see ABH -- "anybody but Hillary" -- get elected.

The former first lady's unique brand of transparently phony moderation, heartfelt inner socialism, Nixonian disregard for the norms of civilized politics and governance, and her well-documented tin ear on ethical issues make her the most dangerous aspirant for president since George Wallace (and he never had a chance of winning). (Story continues below...)

The more John McCain runs and Rudy Giuliani tests the waters, the clearer it gets that neither of these good men can command the Republican nomination.

McCain is too independent and Rudy too liberal. Republicans will not forgive the Arizona senator for his anti-torture bill, his backing for campaign finance reform, his support of major reforms in corporate governance, his opposition to big tobacco, his antipathy toward making the tax cuts permanent and his backing for citizenship for illegal immigrants. Nor will they overlook Rudy's support for abortion choice, gun control, affirmative action or gay rights.

But Hillary Rodham Clinton will campaign and she will run. Why not? She is the smartest woman in the world.

The point about Kerry being able to defeat Bush now reminds me of the quip that after "Stagflation" had hit the country and Carter had shown his "cowardice" against the Iranians who held our people hostages, Gerry Ford would have been able to beat Carter handily.

That was science-fiction.

Carter served for four years.

George W. Bush will serve for eight years.

One thing is certain-G. W. Bush will not become President in 2009. He can't run again.

George W Bush can't run again, but he will be known in history as the Worst President in American History; that's saying a whole lot that people like you miss. Bush is a disgrace not only to Americans, but to the world at large.

With three more years remaining in his term, we can almost be assured his rating will be the lowest of the low; like in the teens when he's forced to leave office. Be patient; he'll not disappoint you.

Democrats may consider him the "worst president," but this Republican reserves that title for James Earl Carter.

Carter's history is past; Bush still can prove his incompetence - over and over and over and over and over...... His rating will be much lower "after" Bush finishes his term. Carter's rating is "fixed."

So you're saying Bush's history is present?

Presents as of the latest polls showing Bush at 29 percent approval rating. That'll move up or down, but more than likely, following trends, it's headed much lower. He hasn't shown any competence in anything he does; doubt very much he's going to be changing any time soon or later.
