WHY I AM NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT

Over the past few years I have realized that, while the rule of law means a lot to me, it means very little to the Democratic Party. Three years ago, I was so disgusted with how they had protected Clinton that I left the Party. Then, late in 2000, I was so horrifed with their attempts to use the courts to change inconvenient state election laws that I decided to do whatever I could to keep them out of power. And to me, that meant doing the unthinkable-- I became a Republican. So in a way, it's nice to see the New Jersey Democrats confirm that, while my decision might have been hasty and rash, it wasn't wrong. This time control of the Senate is at stake and the "Party of the People" is yet again attempting to use a state supreme court loaded with Democrats to shamelessly keep themselves in power.

What kills me is that being a Democrat means never having to pay for a mistake. The New Jersey Democratic Party knew all about the allegations against Torricelli when they nominated him. On the last legal day to change the ballot, they gambled that they had a better chance with Torricelli than with anyone else. Now they suspect they were wrong and want the Court to rule that the Law is not what the legislature votes on and the governor signs. Apparently the Law is whatever suits the Democrats the best at any given moment. But this time, I doubt the US Supreme Court will stop it. Only the good people of New Jersey will be able to do that. They now seem to know a crook when they see one, so maybe there's hope.

I still don't kow whether this is "true" or not, but a couple of things come out: 1 - this is a decent "up yours" note if anything, and 2 - if it IS actually Ms. Garafalo, then it's good to see someone come over to the side of light from "the dark side."

Even I was on the "dark side" at one point...

Expect her to deny it publicly as soon as the Hollywood Democratic Mafia get a hold of her.

[wideawake]

I don't believe for a second that she is Janeane Garofalo.

But the post is excellent.

[BibChr]

Ii think this is a double-post, but kind of worth it to me -- I don't think the other IDed Janeane. I never, EVER would have figured her for a Repub. How interesting! SHe says on her site, though, that now that she's "outed" as Republican, she'll probably never work again!

It's well written and to the point -- and states exactly how I feel about the corrupt dems of NJ and nationally who would claim that the democratic process outweighs the law. Huh? How sleazy!

[91B]

Oh-please let this be true. I always thought that Garafalo was way too bright to get suckered by the dark side for long.

BUMP for her finding her way out of the darkness.

[andrew]

hate to spoil the garafalo love-in (as i did on the earlier thread)... She is one of the most self righteous libs out here. that said, she is in the super twisted, and i say, brilliant comedy, 'wet hot american summer'. it is not a g rated romp, friends.

[JohnGalt]

Perhaps, but do recall this gem from a few years ago:

PLAYBOY: What do women insist degrades them that you suspect might not degrade them at all? What do women view as self-enhancing that is in fact degrading?

GAROFALO: When Pat Buchanan came out against the Beijing Women’s Conference and there were women standing next to him, smiling and laughing when he was making fun of it, I was so embarrassed. I don’t mind when the more liberal or moderate Republican women talk about smaller government or money issues and things of that nature. But when I see a conservative Republican woman in line with the Christian right or coming out against abortion and day-care issues and for taking away women’s aid, I see a self-hating, unenlightened woman, like a self-hating Jew. That blows my mind. I don’t get it at all.

This is an interesting read, but help me please. Who is Janeane Garafolo?

[Seeking the truth]

Is this J. Garofalo the actress?

[RobRoy]

Who is Garafalo?

[shadowman99]

Yeah, um....

I'm doubtful on this. If Janeane Garafalo were to leave the dems I think it would be that the party drifted too far to the right for her. I doubt if she's gone home yet from the world bank protests.

If she put this out as a press release or public statement it should be easy enough to get her or her agent to confirm.

[Seeking the truth]

Even I was on the "dark side" at one point...

Wait a minute, you're not saying you got one of those "Michael Jackson" cosmetic jobs, are you? :)

[mhking]

She is one of the most self righteous libs out here.

Agreed, but just suppose, for sixty seconds, that it is her.

Anyone can be turned away from "the dark side." You willing to give up on her as a result?

[shrug] If it's not, hey...I wasted a few pixels. I'm sure the Entertainment Tonight-types will be all over her soon enough.

[enough]

Okay, I clicked your link and saw her photo & film credits. Still don't know who she is but I know WHAT she is. An idiot. Sheesh.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

All of the decent Democrats have left the party by now...all that is left is the putrid rotting core of mindless morons.

[wideawake]

That is what is being alleged. The real-life one is a total left-wing whackjob, however. So I've got my grain of salt handy.

[mhking]

Still don't know who she is but I know WHAT she is.

Ah, no matter.

Let's just say a left-wing Hollyweird type who has a few more brain cells than the average Hollyweird-type...

[HamiltonJay]

Well never been much of a Garafalo fan, but at least she can think. Kudos
