Democrats Dancing to Tunes of Glory?

" Kennedy's rant reflects the Democrats' blinding Bush-hatred, and marks its passage from partisanship to pathology."

Really Does!

And Rumsfeld was far too polite to point out that Senator Byrd was dottering, senile, and past his expiration date.

LOL! Good piece overall.

Son, I say, Son, these are not men; why, they are barnyard animals--at best.

John, you commended a post by Mr.Smorch on another thread that met up with your column here. He wrote,

It must be really tough to be a RAT at this point in our history. JFK once said that sometimes party loyalty asks to much, but not for today's RATs. They put party loyalty above their loyalty to their country.

A couple things:

JFK's book, "Profiles in Courage," followed the stories of Senators who stood against their parties and against popular passion in the name of principle, such as J.Q. Adams, Sam Houston, and Edmund Ross (who cast the deciding vote in the Andrew Johnson Senate impeachment trial). JFK's lessons are dubious, for each of those profiled was felled by popular indignance, and history has not been generally kind to them. Nonetheless, JFK gave the solid warning that principle is more important than popularity.

Our friends -- and the newly inscribed -- in the Democrat party won't like these lessons. At best, they'd interpret those examples to embolden their opposition to the President.

I suffered today through a C-Span airing of a John Conyers speech to a Congressional Black Caucus event. Conyers is precisely the type that JFK's "Profiles" ignores. Conyers sticks to dogma against all realities, and he wouldn't dare miss an election for principle. In his speech today Conyers complained that his constituents weren't backing him enough against Bush, and it keeps him from confronting him. Translation: "I'd really, really wail on the president if you only wanted me to."

Profile of a woose?

Whatever JFK's sincerity, or his legitimacy as an author, his point ought stand: there is no bravery in the Democratic party, c. 2003.

I still believe - the president's numbers will not improve until he allows the repub members of congress to stand up for the TRUTH.

I truly believe the President's pledge to bring a new tone to Washington (as well as a liberal leaning media) has given the RATs a license to lie, spew hate and revise history - unchallenged - and without fear of response or reprisal.

In just the last week the RATs have accused the POTUS of lying, fraud, and bribery with nary a response. Yet when anyone says anything about the mis-statements by the RATs, a whole swarm of them get face time on all the networks claiming their patriotism is being challenged. What a joke. Rove, Bush & Co. better take off the gloves when needed (judges, success of war, etc.)

I totally agree - and I think I may start a campaign to send an email more frequently to the WH stating those facts.

Only a select few of us know how high a compliment it is when YOU use the word "stupifyin'." (Do any photographs yet survive?) Thankee, kindly.

I'm sure there are photographs. At least 1000 yearbooks which include photos, plus whatever my Mother saved, and she was a Scrapbooker before Scrapbooking was popular.

My regards to the lovely "F".

This spokesman should be funny, sarcastic, smart, informed, quick witted and brutally honest. He should clearly identify Democrat quislings, traitors, cowards, Bush-haters, crybabies and media bias.

I don't know who this person will be,

This may be too brutal:

Republican Strategists Eyeing Dennis Miller

I know, not yet(unless Ahnold wins and for some reason Boxer or Feinstein resign) , but imagine him on the floor of the Senate! : )
