#4 "He's always talking about those people. It's always somebody else's fault. It's the gays' fault. It's the immigrants' fault. It's the liberals' fault. It's the Democrats' fault. It's Hollywood people," Dean said.

I don't recall Bush ever making any such remarks.

This is the kind of dishonest bullshit that drove me out of the Democratic Party after 31 years. I will *NEVER* vote for another one of these lying bastards, not even for County Animal Control Officer.

#7 "If the Democrats of yesteryear were alive today, which party would they belong to?"

I don't know what party they'd belong to, but I'm pretty certain JFK wouldn't be too happy with what the Democrats have become.

The Democratic Party used to be the party of the Working Man, dedicated to making sure everybody got a fair shake. The Democratic Party used to be the party of citizenship and service whose President said, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." The Democratic Party used to be a party that believed in America and believed that America and what it stands for are worth defending and promoting around the world. The Democratic Party used to be a party that proclaimed, "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

But no more.

No longer the party of the working man, the Democrats have become the party for the NON-working man: the party for every parasite, freeloader, freak, fuckup, felon and fatass who thinks the world owes him a free lunch, unlimited second helpings, and a personal escort to the front of the chow line ahead of everybody else, because they're too goddamned lazy to get off their friggin' asses and work for a living like the rest of us.

The Democrats are no longer the party of service and citizenship: they have become the party of smacked-asses, cranks, misfits and malcontents, to whom the Party says, "Ask not what you can do for your country; ask-- no, DEMAND!-- that your country do more for you! You shouldn't have to do ANYTHING for your country! You're a victim, and this country OWES you!!!"

No longer believing in America, the Democrats have become the party of America-haters, the party of loathesome vermin like Michael Moore, to whom it gave a seat of "honor" next to Jimmy Carter at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

And far from being willing to pay any price or bear any burden to assure the success of liberty, the Democrats now are unwilling to make even the least effort to bring freedom to those far from our shores. Instead they spout mindless crap like "No blood for oil!" and "Bush Lied, People Died!"

#9 I don't think today's Democrat is anything like yesterday's Democrat, either. It seems it has drifted to the point of having been pretty much hijacked a few years ago by moonbats susceptible to every conspiracy theory that comes down the pike. People like to blame Bush, but I don't feel that's the problem, just a coincidence that people can't seem to separate from cause. Why does this party exist? If it were to be offered as a brand new party today as compared to the Democratic party of yesteryear, would it really be able to attract a lot of members? Have its members forgotten to do a reality check and have drifted with the party to wherever dysfunctional eddy it has ended up today? Does this party really have enough relevance to continue to win in the future, or are people going to abandon it come vote time? Is the party's present form really reflective of the thinking of a large part of American society? If so, what has changed?

#10 "I for one am tired of these fundo breeder homophobe so-called Christians and the Israel lobby and the racist inbred southern yahoos and greedy bloodsucking super-rich capitalists--no, not you, Mr. Soros! I meant those other guys over there--and all the rest of those un-American Rethuglican bastards dividing this country with their hate-filled name-calling. I say we line 'em all up against the wall and shoot 'em! Yeeeaaaggghh!"

#12 Common perception was that Democrats disavowed the label Liberal because it evolved into a moniker that represented Tax and Spend. The truth is, politically speaking; the essence of the word Liberal means that when making decisions it is prudent to take other viewpoints into consideration. Something Dean and his Progressive supporters are incapable of doing.

#13 The party should be renamed the Progressive Party, 'cos they keep purging the true Dems out.

#15 Even if you win elections doing that, you drag down our country.

Yeah, Howie, like you wouldn't settle for that? You'd beg for that...

#17 He's the most divisive DNC chairman in history, far outpacing McAuliffe. An Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade Kaffiyeh wearing tool, accusing the Iraqi PM of being an anti-semite. That Kaffiyeh is the very definition of anti-semitism. Apparently the man's hypocrisy knows no bounds. But then again, neither does other dems'.

#19 Our side is the one that's supposed to stop being divisive, not his.

#20 Once we have voter ID in place throughout the US, democrat turnout will fall to about 38 percent. At that point, republican cross dressers could be winning elections over them. We should attempt to find and support good men and women to run as republicans. Good people to do good public service. Put a final end to the corruption of democrat mindless spending and all the uninvestigated crimes associated with todays democrats.

#23 He's a great Vermontacrat and American. Hope he lives to be 150 and is remains active in dumocrat politics until the day he dies. He's absolutely the best thing going for the Republicans since the Hilderbeast and Ted.
