The Democratic Party is dead, presidential candidate Rev. Al Sharpton said Thursday. And it's Bill Clinton's fault.
Launching into a tirade against Democratic centrists during an interview on Washington, D.C. TV station WJLA, Sharpton complained that's it's been all downhill for Democrats since Mr. Clinton took over ten years ago.
"Bill Clinton won, the party didn't," railed the radical reverend. "And Bill Clinton may not have won if it had not been for Perot."
"That is my point - centrism killed this party," he insisted. "We didn't regain the Congress in 1998. . . In 2000 we lost it all. In 2002 we were demolished, we were demolished. We lost everything as a party."
Sharpton said Democrats certainly couldn't do any worse if they nominated him for president, since the party seems to be flat-lining already.
"People are saying, 'Will Sharpton, the Progressive, kill the party?' The party's dead. I've come to help start the resurrection," he announced.
Though Sharpton's comments are among the most politically explosive uttered during the presidential campaign so far - with the exception of radio host Rush Limbaugh, who played the Sharpton audio during his Friday broadcast - the reverend's outburst has gone unreported.
As I've pointed out several times here, Bill Clinton is a secret operative hired by Karl Rove to destroy the Democratic Party. He has done sterling work, and will be suitably rewarded when his project has been completed.
And I'm starting to think that George Bush is a secret operative hired by Terry McAuliffe to destroy the Republican Party. He has done sterling work, and will be suitably rewarded when his project has been completed.
Please, all you RATS, keep going farther to the left, we need that 60 vote SUPER-majority in the senate and a 9 justice, conservative Supreme Court (not to mention blowing the 9th Circus apart).
The good thing here is that the RATS can't turn back. If they do the People will see through it like Victoria Secret underwear. Bill Clinton demonstrated a big campaign lie and the actions that followed and the People responded by electing conservatives to a majority in Congress. That was just the beginning. This is going to get sooooo good! They have finally dug the hole so deep that they can't get out.
Al's a Freeper ? Who woulda thought ?
That is hilarious... the Democrats are becoming the "stupid" party, just like the GOP was for so many years... Now, we get to be the smart, unprincipled, winning party for a change.. :-)
Now here is MY point: How is it that Mondale lost by a landslide and yet the Democrats stayed in power in Congress in 1984? Why didnt Reagan have coattails? If I'd guess anything I'd say it was the Democrat "moderates" ability to lie to constituents and get away with it - they cant do it anymore! That is a big reason for the Democrats current inability to figure out how to get back to a majority.
They were able to have their cake and eat their cake too for so long that they dont realize they cant win elections by selling a product the people dont want.
And you know why the Democrats cant get away with lies anymore? Because of the internet, Rush talk radio, FR, and a host of information channels that the liberals dont control.
The Truth is out There. And it hurts (the Democrats).
Ummmm ... OK ... how's he doing in the Republican primary?
?Que? Yo no puedo hablar ingles. Pero soy legal ahora.
!Gracias, Presidente Bush!
Todos nosotros estamos condenados.
"If Al Sharpton became a boxing promoter, and Don King became a race-baiting 'civil rights activist,' would anything really change?"
It's called the power of gerrymandering, since only a few Congressional districts are truly competitive in any given year.
Clinton: Democratic Party 'Killed Sharpton!'
Well, from Sharpton's vantage point on the hard Left, Clinton probably did seem too conservative. Just as, for some on the hard Right, Dubya seems too liberal. All depends on where one stands on the political spectrum.
