#1 If they'd renounce their paychecks for not showing up for work I might be willing to settle for lesser charges.

#2 I heard the sour comment from a democrat: "The question is who are we going to vote for, the democratic party candidate or the Hillary party candidate?"

#3 Dem's new motto: "Winning is for losers!"

#4 ''As long as they're suitably contrite and admit they made a mistake," Zuniga says

Why, thank you, Commissar Koz. And if they don't, what, the reeducation camps?
So it looks like Kos and Ariana Huffington are among the Dems goto people for advice on how to get out of loser land?
Then they are well and truly screwed...

#5 Warner is perceived as a centrist who won the governorship in a conservative state. But Armstrong, who co-wrote a book with Zuniga that assails the Democratic Party establishment, says Warner is popular because of his potential to rout the Republicans from the Oval Office. ''Why does he do so well with the netroots?" said Armstrong. "Because he wins."

Well, he won't be doing much winning anymore if he embraces these Nutroots™ moonbats and gets slapped with the "Left Wing Lunatic" label.

I'd have thought that by now the Democrats would have realized these people are pure poison; but they seem to be locked in a death grip with them that grows tighter every day. It'll be an interesting election.

[Kerry] has also proposed an exit strategy for Iraq. His troop withdrawal plan is "among the most aggressive and progressive. Without a doubt, John Kerry has burnished his Iraq credentials for progressives," says Tom Mattzie, Washington director of MoveOn.org

The Most Aggressive And Progressive Troop Withdrawal Program. Ever!

Jesus weeps...

If the people of America don't have sense enough to reject this, we simply don't deserve to win this war.

#6 Democrat Centrists? Plural? LOL. Right.

There's only lonely Joe Lieberman. The rest are KIA.

#8 Yup. I shudder to think of the consequences of any such "aggressive and progressive troop withdrawal plan." It would be Mogadishu writ large-- irrefutable proof that OBL was absolutely right about us when he claimed we have no staying power, that if you bleed us enough we absolutely, positively WILL give up and go home sooner or later.

And the next round would begin, with Iranian nuclear weapons delivered by terrorists to American cities...

These Donk morons simply must be stopped. No matter what it takes.

#9 TS - Bill Richardson [D-NM] is working the Lieberman side of the party.

What hasn't dawned on the party apparatchik is that in the end Hitler had to turn on his Brown Shirts to attain power and Mao had to turn on his Red Guard to retain power. Both figured out the rads were more a threat to their own future than anything in opposition posed.

#10 Um, forgive me, but...

Is that Bill "I was an All-Star SS for the Yankees!" Richardson?

The Clinton Amb at Large that helped Maddie Halfbright negotiate with Li'l Kimmie?

No offence intended, but he doesn't generate a single particle of interest for me. Lieberman is an honorable man, not a liar. AFAIK, he just sucks as a TV personage. Otherwise, I could get half interested in him. None of the others has a scintilla of honor that I can detect. Just my two cents.

#11 Makes me wish that Zell Miller would run again. Now, there's a Demo even I can vote for. Ultimately, as much as I hate to say it, *cough*, this is bad for our Republic. If the Demos go completely nuts and overboard, we're left with a 1 party system. I'm 110% behind Bush in this war (THE #1 issue, no matter what Prince Chuckie says), but the domestic issues are killing me (spending, immigration, his first veto threat over the ports deal - even though I was o.k. with it in the end, and on and on). Not having competition can spell long term bad news for this country, seeing as how the current Repubs are not true conservatives in many areas. Of course, *snicker*, I do love watching the Dems go over the cliff personally (great graphic BTW).
