#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.

#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.

#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.

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

#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... :-)

#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.

#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...
