Democrats vow 'Dire Revenge'™ for 'stealing' Florida in 2000
2003-12-06
Democrats Vow to Avenge 2000 Florida Loss
In the state that decided the 2000 presidential race, Democratic leaders on Saturday accused Republicans of stealing the bitterly contested election and pledged to avenge that loss next year. "Al Gore won the state of Florida in 2000, and we should never forget it," Democratic Party whiner Chairman Terry McAuliffe said as state activists gathered for the second day of a three-day convention.
Just before her lips fell off...
"Recount? We don' need no steenkin' recount!"
Meeting amid the resorts and attractions at Disney World,
A very approprate setting for the Donks
the 5,000 delegates were hearing from most of the party's presidential candidates, all of whom were serving up criticism of President Bush. "Everything that you care about ... is vanishing," said Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo. "Our good jobs are vanishing.
A lie.
Our civil rights are vanishing
A lie..
Our clean air and clean water is vanishing.
Another Lie
Osama bin Laden has vanished.
Probably dead - no new videos for awhile.
Saddam Hussein has vanished. There is only one way to fix the problem: We've got to make George Bush vanish."
Eh. Dick, President is not spelled v-a-n-i-s-h.
Added Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts: "On issue after issue, George Bush has given Socialists America a raw deal, and everyone in this room knows it." Kerry, in remarks prepared for delivery, said that the president "goes to Baghdad to carry around a fake Thanksgiving turkey while he cuts support for our troops and 40,000 veterans are left on a hospital waiting list."
Ok. Flash test. Who cut support for the troops the most - Bush (either) or Clintion? And yes Kerry you can look at your books.
Kerry was referring to Bush's visit last week to U.S. troops, during which he posed with a turkey cooked to perfection and adorned with the makings of a table setting.
Was the turley faked?
The freewheeling program also was planned to include front-runner Howard Dean, retired Army Gen. Weasle Wesley Clark, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Sens. John Edwards and Joe Lieberman and former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley Braun. The ninth major candidate, Al Sharpton, skipped the event to guest host NBC's "Saturday Night Live."
Another fitting venue....
At least it was intentional comedy...
Florida Democrats say memories of the 2000 election still energize party voters. The Supreme Court halted the recount of state ballots after five weeks, with Bush ahead by just 537 votes out of 6 million cast. "We're going to beat George Bush again in the state of Florida in 2004," McAuliffe said.
Just like we did in 2000.... in our wet dreams....
Carrie Meek, a former congresswoman from Miami, accused Bush of stealing the 2000 election and shouted to the crowd, "We should be ready for dire revenge!" Kerry, a Vietnam veteran and national security expert in the Senate, said: "I'm running for president because George Bush has shown he has no experience to be commander in chief and no plan for peace in Iraq. I know what it's like to be serving on the battlefield and looking back toward home at an administration that is failing the troops."
Me, too. That's why I wouldn't vote for Kerry while I still have fingers...
Kerry accused Bush of bowing to special interests over domestic policy, particularly the Medicare bill Congress recently passed. "The AARP (which supported the bill and just happens to represent millions of elderly) pays actors to play seniors in TV commercials. But real-life seniors are getting left out in the cold," he lied said.

#8  Dems think in terms of the Great Unwashed putting on their cloth caps and grabbing their lunch buckets in the morning and going down to the plant. It's still 1933 in Demland...

#7  Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo. says "Our good jobs are vanishing."
Which "good jobs"? Democratic congresscritters? Democratic staffers that plan how to screw the Constitution? Democratic "power brokers" who find they're so marginalized they have no power to broker?

I've been offered two "good jobs" this past week: one as a computer software test technician ($38K a year) and as a technical writer for a computer chip manufacturer ($36K a year to start). Unfortunately, my disabilities make it impossible for me to take either.

In this city, there are two kinds of jobs: jobs related to technical services that require a strong background in science and a high competence factor in reading, writing, and speaking technical English; and tourist/service related jobs that require a warm body, strong back, and who cares what you think. The first pay well, the second pay minimum wage or a bit above. The higher the education level, the better the pay in the first category, while the second is cannon fodder, no matter what you know. The Democratic/Socialist political agenda has created thousands of people who cannot even think of filling the better jobs - their education is a joke, they have no skills, and they can't string five words together in a coherent sentence. At the same time, the Democratic party has jacked up the minimum wage so high, most jobs don't produce enough to make it worthwhile to hire someone to do them.

It's not the good jobs that are vanishing, it's the good candidates. And the blame for that can be laid directly at the Donkeys' feet.

I am constantly amazed at how fitting the Democratic Party's mascot is, and how the party grows into the image more and more every election.

#6  Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo. says "Our good jobs are vanishing."
A lie.

Since this is Gebhardt speaking to the Democratic faithful, a case could be made that this is actually a true and factual statement... :-)

#5  Kerry served in Vietnam? I'll be darned.

#4  That's the problem with these Democrat types. It's emotion that runs their whole show. No thinking, no analysis.

#3  LOL. The Donks didn't want a straw vote at the Florida donk fest.... the drawfs thought it might affect their standing in the Iowa livingroom ballot. Thank you Mayor Maddox! Who BTW has the most pissed upon SUV in Tallahassee.

#2  Was the turkey faked?
Must have been. Who would know more about fakes and turkeys than Gephardt and Kerry?
They look into a mirror often.

#1  "Carrie Meek, a former congresswoman from Miami"

you'd think the "former" part of that statement might give them a clue as to how well this will actually play out. But it's tough to clue in the clueless.
