... A Sad Time (Barbra Streisand on the election)

[MP5]

She forgot to mention starving children and torturing puppies.

Also...restricting a womans' right to choose, rolling back civil rights, blah, blah, whatever the hell else you wanna put in there. (gimme a C, a bouncy C)

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

She doesn't even know what the phrase "Lets Roll" is all about, thus her comment about Sen. Lott wanting to "roll" bills through the Senate! She says and I quote her diatribe "The Republicans are excited to, in Trent Lott's words, "roll" their agenda through the Congress." How ignorant is that?

She says we will have to live with things that are actually quite good. Being wealthy she doesn't realize that the "wealthy" she mentions who will get tax cuts are the average income people like us. That we need to make sure that people who make 500,000 dollars a year who are seniors, don't get the same benefit as someone who makes 5,000 a year. That our Foriegn policies were decimated by Clinton, and we suffered as a nation from that lack of security (IN no small part thanks to the Torrecelli Ammendment among a multitude of other Democratic agenda's, or lack of any knowledge of how to secure our nation. They UN-DID a ton of measures in order to protect criminals.. international terrorists being on the top of the list).

Now that President Bush has taken the helm, things are improving. But he inherited a HUGE mess.

She is of Jewish descent, yet she does not understand what the Israeli people are enduring. It doesn't happen to her.. so logic be damned.

She is so out of touch with reality, with the average American that she can't see past the nose on her own face (Which was already a problem for her).

Her main problem is, she isn't invited to the Whitehouse anylonger.. she doesn't have a direct line into the Oval Office. (wahhhhhh) She is as much an ego maniac as Bill Clinton and Hitlery are.

For those of us out there in the REAL world, Baghdad Babs is insignificant. Irrelevant.

A nuisance that we wish would just go awaaaaaaay!!!

Go hang you laundry out to dry Bagdad Babs!! Do what you suggest so many other "lesser" folks do. In otherwords,.. get out in the trenches with the rest of us.. maybe then you'll understand why the Dems lost. (I might add.. you being outspoken and "out there" really helped this past election "Oh wise one")

ROFLOL!! She is such a joke!!!

[Triple]

I bet the treasury will take her additional voluntary tax payment - to help the government in its quest to put a chicken in every pot.

You mean Babs is paying only the minimum she is required for taxes, and taking 'deductions', but what about the children, the poor children?

I am shocked, shocked I tell you.

[seamus]

The Democrats who stood up to the president and showed strong opposition leadership were the ones that won on Tuesday.

Name one, Babs. Name a single, solitary Democrat who ran against the president's agenda and won (and uncontested liberals like Nancy Pelosi and Jijad Jim McDermott don't count).

[belle99]

Do these liberal Hollywood types get some type of 'artist' tax breaks through the Dems? I find them highly hypocritical when they whine about tax breaks that go only to the rich...they are the rich.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Blue-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-s-s-s,despai-r-r-r-rrrrr, and agone-e- on me....

Hey Babs!, you have enough grief and heartaches to make the switch to singing and writing country music-I mean the old fashion suffering kind, gal. You ever go nasal, you'll blow the rest right off the charts.

I'm not greedy, Barbs, but You should be willing to cut me in for ten percent of the profits, just for pointing you on the path to a brand new career.

Maybe for better effect you could grow a beard, like some of the other successful CW singers have these days.

[Jaxter]

[Flint]

You recken that when Bush wins his second term she'll pack up and leave? I mean, what's it gonna take?

[toenail]

"These judges are guaranteed to threaten ... a woman's right to choose [abortion]."

An act so vile that she dare not speak its name?

Dear Babs, your useful idiocy is appreciated by a long train of rich, white people who don't mind a little genocide.

So as we move forward, I, for one, will continue to urge the Democrats, even as, or especially as, the minority/opposition party, to be vocal in conveying the differences to the American public.

Based on the poorly constructed sentence above, I'd say she wrote it herself.

[Mike Darancette]

The Democratic Party was not able to articulate a clear message - was not able to convey the very real and very many differences between the two parties.

And that was the DemocRATs' problem, if they had articulated a clearer message as to what they stood for they would have lost even more badly than they did.

The Democrats who stood up to the president and showed strong opposition leadership were the ones that won on Tuesday. Hopefully, by 2004, the party - and the people - will get the message.
