Gary Hart: " We Got What We Deserved"

But he has NEW IDEAS. Of course he should run for president. /Sarcasm. Actually, he is the second most embarassing political figure to come out of Colorado in my life.

His one innovation was that he was the first to try the "I'm different than those other democrats," scam. Clinton borrowed his technique of repackaging liberalism by wrapping it in moderate rhetoric and calling it NEW AND IMPROVED. Clinton succeded for a while.

The problem for Gary is that the public has now seen the scam over and over and it turns out to be the same old baloney. In fact, the 2002 election might be properly regarded as a repudiation of democrats who run to the center and govern to the left. Noone really believes them anymore. Noone will believe Hart.

"The message was, vote for us if you hate W."

Their message was, vote for us even though we don't have a position on any issue on the floor. We are leaderless, directionless and powerless. BUT, we hate W.

[Timesink]

They communicated hundreds of reasons why no one with any education should vote for them.

What I think of every time I hear a Democrat talking about their "strategy":

[uncbob]

Democrats “didn’t offer alternatives, they didn’t offer any ideas on how to make the economy grow, about America’s role in the world, [or] a defense policy that was not just militarism,” Hart said. “We got what we deserved.”

And that is your real problem you boob
Alternatives for the sake of being different not because they are correct. What does it matter which party comes up with policy if it is correct
About getting on board a correct policy and getting re-elected because tou have enough sense to go along with what is RIGHT

[uncbob]

The old school of centrist, gentlemen democrats are a thing of the past

LONG Past

I remember well when Gary Hartpence was caught with Donna Rice in his lap on board the "Monkeyshine" "Monkey Business".

Hartpence will carry on the Sick Willie Clintoon tradition very well.

[Illbay]

Well, now I know that Hart must be serious about 2004--and the press are going to do what it takes to put him in the limelight. They are beginning to rev up to get a "strong" field of candidates.

As Ricky Nelson steps up to microphone to sing:

Hello Donna Rice, goodbye Hart...

Do the Rats have anybody left except geezers and moral degenerates?

[DeFault User]

Come to think of it, Hart is both a geezer and a moral degenerate.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

The Democrats have not yet received what they REALLY deserve.

Post #23...

All over the place and most of it bad. You got it!

[inflorida]

I was listening to the Hannity radio program yesterday and there was a democrat caller who said that Gary Hart now refers to the USA as the USSA (referring to the communist USSR), since the elections went Republican.

One of his best friends and advisor is Condi Rice.

# 18 - Why do these aging liberals all look alike? It's gotta be the hair and the tortured look in their eyes.

The Democrats are a bunch of loud-mouthed scary old men. My seven-year-old daughter calls them...

Not to mention the American people were just plain tired of their bashing, hatefulness, whining, nastiness, ugliness, "anything to win" behavior.

The people of this country have been listening to this kind of stuff since Clinton went into the White House. Blaming everybody else for everything. Talking about a Right Wing Conspiracy. So silly when Hillary did that. It went on and on. Carville, Begala, and all those who refused to make Clinton stand up to his responsibilities. The biggest one of all was Al Gore. They wanted to stay in power and win at any cost.

What they didn't plan on was the American people thinking for themselves. Imagine that! The people saw a true leader in George W. Bush and how he related to the people became more and more evident. His kind nature, goodness and caring emerged while the nasty nature, ugliness and non-caring from the democrats emerged as well and the people saw the light.

Yep, Hart is right...the democratic party got what they deserved and they're gonna be paying for it for a long, long, long time! I won't gloat either...I only have joy in my heart for the people of America.

[cubreporter]

You got it. Hatefulness. Their best tool.

YUP.....the real MEAN Party LOST.
