"Oh, a principled stand on war from Al Gore? It seems quite unlikely. He's not aligning himself with the anti-war movement," she said.
Notice how they always try to get in a blurb about how they are not working with the Democrats? They don't try to distance themselves from any other political party but they go out of their way to cover up their association with members of the radical wing- now the dominant wing- of the Democrat Party, even if they have to tell the biggest and most obvious lies imaginable. Mind you, these are the very same people who were crying most shrilly during election 2000 and working behind the scenes on the al Gore Propaganda campaign, on the net and elsewhere, and were conveniently ready any time the DNC needed them. Sure, there's a few who think they are independent, but the players leading them by the nose are people who are tied in with Clinton in some way.
For Tom Daschle and some of the freaks now leading the Democrat Party, the only way to look like "moderate" Democrats and not like the radical extremists they are is to say one thing with their lips and do the other things, the extremist things, in the shadows, all while cultivating a small group of "third party" vocal radicals to play the role of "left wing nuts" to perfection. It doesn't matter that they all still believe and do the same things so long as the public is mislead into believing that the real movers and shakers in the DNC are more moderate than the third party "diversion."
We need to show the public that the moderate Rats are courting the favor of these socialist extremists.
