I agree, Harold Ford Jr. is one of the "few" democrats that I have ever heard speak anything sensible. Too bad he is likely to be afraid of such a move. The black or minority population have democratic slaves for many decades and it's time for them to get free!!
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Aren't the Fords sort of a black version of the Kennedys down in Memphis? A powerful multi-generation pol family that basically owns the Democratic machine in West Tennessee?
I thought this guy was running to the left of Pelosi, not her right. Interesting.
Now if we can finally crack the NAACP/Rat Party stranglehold on the black community, especially the working- and middle-class. Socially they're a lot closer to Republicans than they are to the Rats.

My take on the Ford-Pelosi battle:
Democrats in DistressIn addition, if this is true (it probably is), it only confirms what a lot of people were saying about Pelosi. She's a jerk. Really, really unpleasant. Conservative democrats aren't going to stick around under her leadership, there will be a mass exodus from the Democratic Party.

Personally, I think that HRC is the one who is backing Pelosi. We all know that Hillary is a leftist, and she's the only one who has the power to pull off that kind of quick easy victory for her handmaiden.

In the grocery store today in the magazine rack was a copy of a magazine for blacks ("Black Enterprise", maybe?) and it had three African-American males smiling into the camera with the headline "THE NEW BLACK LEADERSHIP".
Those new leaders? Harold Ford, Jr., Ron Kirk, Carl McCall.
Eh, guess not...
Can we now start a list of blacks the Democrats have been dissing lately?
McCall
Alan Page
Colin Powell
Condi Rice
now Harold Ford, Jr...
Seems the Dems are just intolerant unless blacks act like the house slaves.

There's room for you in the Republican Party. Ford is Al Gores sock puppet. He is one of the more liberal congressman. He is very leftists. He wants to position himself to take over when Pelosi is a giant failure. Every one knows she is going to be a bust.
In the last 10 years the the Democrats have been Gerrymandered into 192 very very Democratic seats. There are about 11 seats that are not real leftist. The result is that very very leftist Democrats get elected to those seats.
Once Gephardt is gone, the very very socialist leftist nature of the house Democrats will be shown.
Ford was sent out to make the case that not all Democrats are lefist wackos. The fact is 90 percent are. . They think the MEDIA is going to have to be reminded that all DEMOCRATS are not LEFIST WACKOS.
If the Democrats turn sharply to the left they will go well to the left of the media. They may go far to the left of the media.
That could cause the media to almost be unbiased.... If they start to see the left not as Daxchle, Gephart, and Gore but Pelosi and Conyers and some more wackos.. ther media coverage could almost get fair.
Gore Knows he can't stop Pelosi.. He just wants to make the case that all Democrats are not Pelosi. The problem is the elected house members are.
Ford is far to the left of Mondale and Wellstone. And in comparison he looks conservative. That is scary.

Why does everyone want improvement in the Leftist party now? They must be decimated before restructuring may commence.
To: Common Tator
I think Ford is going to rise in the ranks, and it may be possible to lure him from the dark side by using the force.
I'll bet he becomes a Senator soon, and the Republicans would be well advised to try to woo him over to their side. Hey - it could happen!

Get out the FBI files and everyone starts saying, "Time to move on."
We should call the Clintons the Borgia family of America.

We don't want him!!!!!!
The American Conservative Union gives him a rating of 12! (Bela Pelosi a 2)
The rats have to decide to give power to a female left wing extremist or a black left wing extremist. Hope the pick the women. She's more obnoxious and it will tick off blacks.

The written text doesn't do Pelosi's slap down of Ford,justice- it was venomous . Now, what was it Belafonte said about the slaves not being allowed in Massa's house??
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Pelosi launched into a diatribe against Republicans today and concluded, "I am convinced that the American people share our values and our hopes for the country." Lord, preserve this belief! Amen.

I agree except for believing the media will care. The House is full of scary far left Marxist Dems. My favorite is Maxine Waters urging Fidel Castro NOT to extradite a cop killer back to the U.S. because the cop killer was a Black Panther "freedom fighter." Another little taste of this was Bonior and that other idiot in Bagdhad saying the real problem is that American anti-tank shells caused all the childhood leukemia in Iraq and should be banned! Hopefully the American people will get the picture. We'll see.

"Can we now start a list of blacks the Democrats have been dissing lately?"Don't forget Maynard Jackson, the man cut out of the DNC chairmanship so that they could give the post to Terry McAuliffe. To be fair, though, from the brilliant leadership and keen political acumen Terry has demonstrated since then it's obvious he was chosen purely on merit, and not because he was a rich white crony of rich white guy Bill Clinton.

"The rats have to decide to give power to a female left wing extremist or a black left wing extremist. Hope the pick the women. She's more obnoxious and it will tick off blacks." The Democrats have just about 'victimized' themselves into a box.
