Which leads to the question: Did any of the Kings complain about any "pimping"?

Exactly! Thanks Nimh.

Plus, your quote line is great, I bet most people don't get it.

If you can download any of the funeral, I recommend it. An incredible thing filled with joy and sadness and humor and color. Even George Bush Sr. was a hoot, as loose and funny as I've ever seen him. Clinton was at his best too. And the singing and the poetry...incredible stuff.

In the "down is up" mode. The closest I've seen is a negative I have of dyslexia.

And according to Foxfyre, Ann Coulter is a benchmark of education and intellectual honesty.

Yes, really, she really said that.

Okay Mr. 'In-the-Mainstream", find the statement or paragraph presented as fact in the piece I posted earlier today and tell me where it is wrong, incorrect, or out-of-the-mainstream. Take your time. I'll wait.

Cyclops - the Democrats have no credibility on security. None. They are simply not serious. They are anti-Bush.


What do you mean when you say this? It sounds like what the Republicans like to call a Known Fact(tm)! You can't fall back on Defense as the trump card every election, especially when your party is screwing it up so badly.

Cycloptichorn


Cyclops - perhaps you missed the article in the NYTimes yesterday (someone posted it somewhere in this forum) pointing out that the Democrats are basically already pondering why they blew '06 and the elections are still months away. If you can drag yourself away from the talking points of DU or dailykos, you'd realize that the first sentence of that article pretty much says it all. The Democrats have failed - absolutely no-holds barred failed - to come up with anything on their own to attract voters.

Quote:


What part of "Should they settle on one" do you not understand? It's not that they don't have a nationally known leader to carry their message - it's that they DON'T HAVE A MESSAGE.

The whole NSA controversy will particularly be a political loser for you Democrats and lefties. And don't start up with all that baloney about how we're scared and Dubya is playing on our fears. It's the exact opposite. It's precisely because of the president's strong stance that the vast majority of us are not afraid to go about business-as-usual, including traveling the nation/world. It's the Democrats who are scared - scared they won't be able to come up with a PITHY AGENDA for their '06 and '08 campaigns. Hilarious, because you either have one or you don't. It's not something you can "find".

Hating Bush and being goofy on national security isn't "pithy".

Staying away from talking points is good advice, JW. But you never take it yourself. Your last post constitutes precisely what are precisely the main talking points of the RNC..."Dems have no strategy, no message, no leader". "Hating Bush isn't a policy". "Dems are weak on defence." We see it all repeated regularly by you, by others here, daily on Fox, and hourly on all the main right wing sites.

To underline JW's good observations, here's a piece from the LA Times, the Left coast equivalent of the NY Times and pretty much say ing the same thing. It even references the NY Times piece I posted yesterday:


One sorry mess of a partySOURCE

Since when are the NYTimes and USAToday "talking points" for the GOP?

When the Democrats have a cohesive message or a particularly good choice to demonstrate on national security (besides yelling and snark) I'll be sure to pay attention.

Then please tell me,because I am truly curious...
What is the dems message for the country?
What is their platform?
What are their plans and goals if they regain power?

I have not heard one articulated by any Dem Leader,and I truly am curious.

What REASON is there to vote FOR them.instead of AGAINST the republicans?

No you won't. Other than to figure out some tact to put it (whatever it is) in a negative light. You're a dyed-in-the-wool Republican. The chances of you voting Dem are what? That's fine, so far as it goes, but we might as well be honest about what is up and what is down.

"Talking points" aren't publications, of course. They are simple, easy to grasp bits of narrative which political strategists work very hard at formulating and getting into as many high profile outlets as possible.

Like JW, you don't have any reason to vote Dem. And we both know you won't. You could quite easily find the information you rhetorically seek but it isn't territory you have any interest in investigating.

Oh really,you know what and how I vote?
I dont vote party,I vote ideas.
I have said it before,and I will say it again,just for you...

IF EVAN BAYH,A DEMOCRAT FROM INDIANA,RUNS,I WILL VOTE FOR HIM!!!

Is that plain enough for you?
