Well.. MSNBC just declared the "death of the Democratic Party"

"being torn to pieces over race, (pause) and gender. (period)" - followed by just about what you'd expect in the way of meaningless blather. . .

I just had yet another one of those "shoot the damn screen out moments...

It amazes me how many people here have fallen right into line with their plan.

"Yep...and who started this fight and this meme?"

Sometimes I think we (DU) did (was that your point? I'm a bit daft, today). And if we didn't start it, we sure as hell are enabling it.

While we'll be self-righteously withholding our votes because our choice didn't get the nomination.

Just based on recent history.

- calls by a general to pull out of Guantanamo
- * pushing for a peace plan in the ME before he leaves office
- pull back of troops from Iraq
- cash to americans to stave off recession

are just some of the things that are being massaged so that when the nominees for both parties are finally selected - a lot of wind will be out of the sails of the Dem nominee.

and vote strongly for Edwards or Kucinich in the coming elections, so that it isn't Clinton/Obama/Obama/ Clinton 24-7. I'm sick of the MSM telling us who are candidates are and who we are to pick.

reak democratic eh?

I said let the voters choose. Last time I heard, letting the voters decide rather than the MSM WAS democratic.

It's amazing how much I don't miss it at all.

it's a "save free tv" commercial from 1974

It had nothing to do with keeping "free TV" and everything to do with not giving people another reason to skip out on the movie theatre. I was digging the ad until I heard to sign the petition in the theatre lobby. Then I realized it was just a chain of movie threatres fighting in their best interest...except movie theatres aren't free, either.

So, it's "dueling zombie parties" in November!!!

It'll be HUGH!1

on other outlets.

And it's such an obvious trap to walk into.....:(

We seriously need to keep building our media outlets. :(

"torn apart".. (pant,pant) "It COULD be torn apart, right?" (pant, pant)

Whatever works.

blech!

(that would be Tucker Carlson, genetic Affirmative Action beneficiary)

at the Wellstone memorial. What a little waste of skin he is.

The truth is the opposite. The Republicans are dying. Unless they find a savior like Ronald Reagan, the November election will send them the way of the Dinosaurs.

has been spending some time over in GDP on DU. It wouldn't be hard to form that opinion after 30 minutes or so. :crazy:

:dem:

Michigan and Florida have been told to "fuck off" and will (almost doubtless) vote 5% more to the right in November than if the voters had been respected. I can only credit that to the "blue dog" wing - feeling safe due to their absence of any guts whatsoever.

:shrug:

and we know what the agreement is.

that made fools out of the MSM with the Iowa and NH poll results!

:banghead:

hopefully they will completely marginalize themselves over time

What did you think would happen? This is just the beginning, and it's going to get worse, a lot worse, the repubs haven't started in yet. But, everyone is so jazzed about a black man and a woman running for President that they have forgotten what the REAL world is out there. Damn, sometimes I think dems are really stupid, or is it they just have their head in the clouds. Obama and Clinton should never have run for President, they should have brokered a deal with Biden or Dodd or Richardson or even Edwards where they would be the VP nominee. When their time for running for President came, they would be vetted and people of the entire US would welcome their run. It would have been no big deal, to anyone that a black man or a woman was running for President, as they had already been VP.

Oh well, let the whining, bitching and wringing of hands continue.

Hooray for the 5 new voters we picked up in Nebraska, though! :eyes:

Punchline to Nietzsche's declaration that God is dead.

Arrogant pissants. When will they declare the GOP has been torn to pieces over religious bigotry and fear of the fundies they pander to? When will they point out that these famously fiscal conservatives have no plans for America's economic safety?
Oh. Right. Never.

Amazing how opinions vary depending on who is doing the talking and which orifice they're using.

This article said that the house that Ronnie built is crumbling and that much of it's demise can be laid at the feet of the war on Terror!®. Of course there's plenty of blame for the horrible field of candidates they have running this year also.
