4. I agree. We don't need Bush-lite Dems. They are useless.
The Bush-lite Dems vote with Bush, so in fact, that creates two problems. One, a REAL Democrat could have his/her space and vote against Republican proposals and two, it 'legitimizes' Reichwing bills by showing the world that even Democrats agree with Bush's insane ideology by voting with him.

7. There Is a Difference, Even if Real Democrats Can't Win in Your State
Even your Democrats would oppose Scalia for Chief Justice,
and the parade of Fundie justices that Bush* and the Repubs give us,
wouldn't they?

3. God Damn the Bushevik-Water-Carrying, infiltrated and parasitized AP!
Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 11:49 AM by tom_paine
With their f*cking corrupt Exit Poll Faking Bushevik-leaning "librul" (LOL) editorial staff.

Just WHO wrote that headline?

It should read: La. Congressman to Stay DemocratIC

or perhaps: La. Congressman to Remain A Democrat

But instead (and I'm suuuuuure it's just a coincidence here) they chose to repeat the "Jew Lawyer" type slur and use the Bushevik Slur of "Democrat Party".

Fuckers.

And you can bet your ass that, now that infiltrated, parasitiszed 60-70% Imperial Footstool AP's "Exit Polls" will 100% match the Diebold Touchscreen "Vote" Tallies and of ocurse, while it won't match 99% of the polls, it will match their own pre-"election" corrupt, fixed poll, even though that corruipt poll in and of itself is a Bushevik Pravda Lie designed to set up the upcoming theft of the "election".
