More from Imus this AM...Harold Ford, "Things aren't that bad in Iraq"

Now, if I truly believed that there was NOTHING political in Bushwas war, then I wouldn't have a problem with that statement, the problem is that we all know that Rove is pulling the strings on the war in Iraq. If he weren't...we wouldn't be there...there was NO reason to preemptively attack Iraq.

This is really a black mark on Fords record as far as I'm concerned. I had high hopes that he would "someday" run for President. If he is too stupid to realize that the whole fiasco known as the Iraq War is really politics, then he's not deserving of respect.

If he did realize that it was politics, then I hope that he'd be smart enough to not agree with the administration...even if they said the sky was blue.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that we have to dismantle the DLC. They are absolutely destroying our party.

nt

DLC Democrat = Moderate Republican.

I have seen Harold Ford interviewed many times, I would call him a black Lieberman.

huh ?

Did you see the interview? I believe that my comments are reflective of what he had to say. I would welcome a second opinion, if you saw the interview...as I stated before, I really had a lot of respect for Ford, but this interview blew my mind.

"Delegation departed Iraq early." Sort of belies his words.

The hits just keep on coming.


First, we purged the conservatives from the Democratic party


Then we purged the moderates from the Democratic party

Then we purged the traditional liberals from the Democratic party


And then there was no one left but me.

I'm afraid I have no recollection of that. Nor of moderates being purged, for that matter.

(No argument about liberals being purged -- that part's clear enough.)

I take it you are here to save us from our loony leftist views. Sorry, you are pissing into the wind.

here where I leave in East Tennessee. God-fearing, gun-toting, tax-avoiding, racist, conservative Democrats.

What the heck, they vote for the Democratic candidate so I try not to complain too much.

Maybe not quite.

If things aren't so bad there, let's send him. And he can take Imus with him. :mad:

race for house minority leader. Now he is back tap dancing for the powers that be.

If that is what he said. I have really been all for him and like someone said-I hoped he would run for president someday. I could kind of understand his vote at the beginning of the war but anyone who can say that things aren't so bad in Iraq is crazy as hell or falling in line with the administration.

I can't imagine a weaker, more shrill minority leader. She's an embarassment.

what's up with that dead cowboy motif? It's very gaudy. Plus Mr. Imus has a very annoying voice. And all those suckups around him - don't even get me started.

or the "up-and-coming" Black Democrat.

EVERY TIME he opens his mouth, I am disappointed. I MUCH prefer the rest of the Black Caucus. He is the ONLY ONE to consistently favor Republican policies!!

:puke:

Of course that would mean that Kerry, Lieberman, Gephardt and Edwards would have to tell the truth too. Maybe you're right, we should expect to see the lies continue.

and we have a bridge we would like to sell you.

Democratic Losers Councel?

heh.

but he does need to appeal to his constituents, many of whom are not real lefties like most of us here at DU.

When will Democrats learn not to publicly compliment or agree with Bush?

To think there were fiery arguments here about his attempt to grab the Minority leader position over Pelosi...I wonder what his angle is - cuz he's sure campaigning for sumptin'

I don't know his district's demographics, but many southern black officials need white votes to get and stay in office. Sometimes that can lead to overmoderation, I guess. Too bad if so, since I kinda liked his earlier potential.
