MacAuliffe statement on Thanksgiving

[FuriousMNDem]

Not that I like MacAuliffe particularly well, but...

"As American families prepare to join in the national celebration of Thanksgiving, millions will pause to reflect on all that they are thankful for. But when the American family is compared to the Republican special interests it's clear that the Bush administration has reserved its feast for the fat cats. From a planned $20 billion tucked into the energy bill to $12 billion in subsidies to HMOs in the Medicare bill, Republican special interests are already stuffed. In stark contrast, American families have had to endure record job loss under President Bush with nearly 9 million Americans unemployed, hundreds of thousands giving up looking for work and more than 43 million Americans among the uninsured. With President Bush's record, I believe more Americans and their families will be especially thankful next year when a Democrat is President-elect."

1. i get this

bull shit from the dnc ,i don`t bother to read it anymore...talk is cheap. fuck them...

[Cocoa]

2. your loss

it's good, though you can skip it if you want.

[Scott Lee]

3. Terry, why don't you stuff your empty rhetoric in a plump turkey.

Oh, and have a nice holiday you worthless lump of humanity.

[bambo53]

4. Is there any way to "recall" these so called "leaders"?

I'm about to give up on either party being responsible to the common welfare of the American people.

These greedy little toads must know something the rest of us don't, they're grabbing all the loot they can get their hands on from our stock market and treasury, and helping their friends to the loot too. I've seen it in both party's now after some of these bills are passed and it sickens me to no end.

Where are our "leaders"? This is corruption at it's worst. These sociopaths tell us with a straight face everyday out & out horseshit and we let them get away with it.

I truly believe this global economy is nothing more than a pyramid scheme that's about to explode, leaving the rest of us "non insiders" to hold the bag and fend for ourselves.

5. Terry MacAuliffe: QUIT you turkey!

You are a disgrace to the Democrats. Having let us all down not once but repeatedly the only decnet thing you CAN do this holiday season is QUIT!

[IndianaGreen]

6. I thought the sob was going to step down

together with that worthless Daschle.

[Scott Lee]

7. Axiom number two about the Establishment -

They usually don't go down willingly, without at least some golden parachute. I'm sure that Daschle and McAuliffe are coming up with one (or already have one) as the cry for their resignation intensifies.

[Cocoa]

11. why does a Green care about the dem political chair?

Or the dem senate leader?

McAuliffe and Daschle get a lot of criticism for losses in the Congress, but I never hear the Greens hurling profanity at their own party leaders, despite the fact that they have ZERO seats in Congress.

[Scott Lee]

12. Because Greens aren't constrained by a small minded partisan view

They tend to see the bigger picture. I'm so sorry that's upsetting to you.

[Cocoa]

14. so why the interest in the DNC chair?

by definition he's the main partisan.

I have absolutely no interest in Ed Gillespie. I don't care if he's replaced, his replacement will automatically be a GOP hack.

Why would a Green want McAuliffe to step down? Makes absolutely no sense. If McAuliffe steps down, they're not going to put a Green in there. You realize this, right? If you don't, think about it,`it's pretty obvious.

[bpilgrim]

17. probably because most greens want the dems to change

so they can come home :shrug:

peace

[Cocoa]

19. you mean Greens want the dems to lose?

Is that what you mean by come home? That would make sense, since Greens are a competing party to the Dems.

Is that what you mean?

[Scott Lee]

24. Boy, the Dems have sure been knocking the votes down lately huh!

Care to rephrase that ridiculous insinuation that the Dem leadership status quo is a winning one?

[Robin Hood]

22. Yeah, you all saw the bigger picture in 2000

NOT!!!!! Bwahahahahahha!!!

[AntiCoup2K4]

8. Go get stuffed, McUseless.

It's because of "turkeys" like yourself and other useless, spineless DINO's , that the criminal fascist corporate Bush agenda keeps pushing their SHIT through congress. Let's see... a majority leader who happens to own the biggest corporate hospital chain in America.... a Fraudministration packed with ties to pharmaceutical and insurance companies.... can anyone with two functional brain cells REALLY believe that any true reform of Medicare could come from these lousy fascists??

[Cocoa]

9. what utter mindlessness

people click on this thread not to read his words, but to spew invective at him.

Makes me think, do people know why they don't like McAuliffe? Or did they "decide" he was worthless based on the consensus on a message board?

[Scott Lee]

13. What's "mindless" is clinging to McAuliffe.

Face it, the guy is a 100 lb. weight around the neck of the Democratic Party. He has done nothing but helped bring about a slew of election defeats and his only answer to questions about his own questionable stock dealings was "Hey this is capitalism. If you don't like it, move to Cuba!"

Please. What an ignorant statement, worthy of a Repuke, I should add.

Terry McAuliffe should own up to his own deficiencies and stop milking the Democratic Party for a salary and his own vainglory. He would better serve the party working somewhere else closer to his own nature - like the RNC.

[Cocoa]

15. what's mindless is the distorted view of McAuliffe

ridiculous exaggerations stated as fact.

"He has done nothing but helped bring about a slew of election defeats."

Yes, I remember the very sophisticated analysis of the KY and MS losses, it was basically "McAuliffe sucks."

I never understood why when the dems soon after won LA, no one said "McAuliffe rocks." :shrug:

Oh, and should I mention that very authoritative predictions were made about the republicans winning LA. Very strongly worded predictions, a lot of swear words to drive home the expertise behind the predictions.

Yes, I believe people that call McAuliffe and Daschle funny names truly understand what they're talking about.

[Scott Lee]

16. McAuliffe presided over the decline of the Democratic Party

If that upsets you, that's a good thing. Anger is an energy.

[Cocoa]

20. repeating the assertion doesn't make it true

Maybe it's as simple as you say, but somehow I doubt the dem losses can so simply be blamed one person. I'm positive it's more complicated than that.

I personally don't care for McAuliffe from most of what I've seen of him. I would have no trouble blaming him. But you know what, what the hell do I know about what makes a good party chairman? Seriously, what good is my impression of him from his TV appearances?

But like I said, one thing I'm sure about is that to boil down the dem losses to one person, who is not even an elected official, and whose role is not fully understood, is idiotic.

[Scott Lee]

23. In a business, do you know what they do with managers who

preside over a losing department?

They FIRE them. Why? Because always a failure can be traced back to poor LEADERSHIP.

And yes, it's that simple. Terry McAuliffe is a proven arrogant, know nothing prick who suckles from the teat of the DLC sow. His tenure has overseen major Dem loss after major Dem loss. The last three governor's races were supposed to be in Dem safe states. They held only ONE.

Case closed. Terry McAuliffe would better suit this party by seeking work in the fast food industry.

[bpilgrim]

18. maybe it's due to his recent track record?

could be...

peace

[Cocoa]

21. I've heard better opinions on sports radio

in fact it would be impossible for a sports radio discussion about whether some coach should be fired to be as meaningless as the DU discussions about McAuliffe and Daschle.

For one thing, the callers couldn't swear. Also, if a caller just started ranting against the coach without a single reference to any decision the coach made, they would be hung up on. Know why? Because that's stupid and pointless.

[Unknown Known]

10. Who cares what Terry says or thinks

This is one useless POS:puke:

[Scott Lee]

25. Obviously, those who worship Dem underachievement care.

WHY...now, I don't know.

[Dr Fate]

26. Terry- can you get on TV and say this???

Otherwise, you are talking to the wind.

If it aint on TV, it NEVER happened.
