Damn shame he's a Democrat

Before this is over, there will be lots of coalition opportunities.

The People do not want what the major parties are selling.

He looked at the current Dem field and saw an old Red and a worn-out Lady Macbeth. How could he resist?

I don’t think he’ll have any difficulty getting to the right of the field.

"Damn shame he’s a Democrat."

Webb is an old fashioned Democrat. Back in Roosevelt's day he would have been called 'an Al Smith Democrat' for opposing Roosevelt. Meany, the head labor leader in WW II era was another who was a strong anti-communist. The Democrats lost their way when they became left-wingers. A Webb resurgence would be most welcome in the Democrat party, even the Republican.

Webb needs to be invited to read aloud some of the raunchy passages from his novels.

I am not running, but I have formed an exploratory committee.

I must first consult with the big money guys in the ‘you’ve gotta be kidding me’ party to determine the viability of the campaign.

Yeah, that’s quite a list. Someone sent me an even larger list, but it’s too big and too ridiculous, even for a political campaign. ;’)

After Hitlery is dragged down by her fellow jackals, Bernie could be the nominee; the Pubbies aren’t the only party that likes to “clear the deck” in a year they know they’re going to lose.

“What the hell, I’m running too.”

I’m still waiting for a vote recount when I ran for Pope.

Webb switched parties because he was opposed to the invasion of Iraq.

So, he left the party that voted for the invasion, to join the party that voted for the invasion?

Yeah, I haven’t wanted what either the Repubs or the Dems have been selling for some time now. One party wants your guns, and the other one wants control of everything else...

Webb is or tries to be a Hubert Humphrey Democrat rather than a Barack Obama Democrat. What he doesn't realize is that the constituency that gave Humphrey the Democratic nomination is gone and it isn't coming back.

The Democratic Party is now the radical party, not the liberal party. Obama and Hillary got where they are thanks to radicalized "minorities" and college kids/yuppies who vote on trendy causes like homosexual marriage, radical feminism, and gun control. The socially conservative or moderate working and lower-middle class whites who were once the core constituency of Truman, Humphrey, O'Neill, etc. are A. much fewer in number, thanks to mass Third World immigration and on account of economic policies that turned working/middle class into an underclass and B. voting Republican.
