1. Is that so horrible?

He's still a Democrat.

[Mojambo]

2. I would imagine there is tremendous cross-over between those two address books. n/t

[jaysunb]

21. I know that's right...

n/t

[Lucky Luciano]

3. Yawn, so what...

I work for a huge European investment bank in their equity proprietary trading group division. I am on your side. Why be so divisive? We need to unite to defeat fascists.

[IndianaGreen]

10. Sorry, but Harold Ford is a fascist

He endorsed Joe Lieberman in the November Senate election against Ned Lamont.

[Lucky Luciano]

12. That is pretty odious....but I will resist calling him a fascist for now. nt

[IndianaGreen]

19. Joe Lieberman is odious, and Harold Ford endorsed him against a Democrat

Harold Ford not only endorsed Lieberman, but he made a big deal of endorsing Lieberman. Lieberman and Ford both want war against Iran. Is this the scumbag that you are defending?

14. Who's being divisive? I posted a FACT. Isn't that allowed??

[Lucky Luciano]

15. oops..I guess you are right.

I think I responded more to the spirit of the writer of the article you posted. You did indeed merely post a fact though.

[Gloria]

17. Thanks for separating the messenger from the message....

4. the "DLC" part is more concerning than the "Merrill Lynch" part

Ford is definitely a centrist...much keeping with the DLC ideology. Not my kind of Democrat. Question: What's the diff between a moderate Democrat and a moderate Republican?

[madrchsod]

6. nothing these days....

[illinoisprogressive]

5. same here. The dlc is more troubling.

7. Ford had ambitions of being a carpenter's apprentice in an Amish community but he was rejected

when his cell phone went off at the interview. What's a fella to do?:shrug:

8. Good for HF, Jr.. He's also teaching college in addition to both of those things..

And while I'm happy for him being so successful, I sure wish he was a U.S. Senator instead of the asswipe Bob Corker.

Corker, who praised Bush's State of the Union for being so "spot on".. so "perfect in every way"

Corker, who attacked Harold Ford, Jr., with bogus, racial attack ads. (BTW, How gross is it that John McCain actually hired the dirtball who created those ads?)

Corker who loves this LOSER




~~The man who SHOULD be the U.S. Senator from Tennessee~~

18. McCain

If McCain made those ads someone needs to use them in the
upcoming election.  They need to let everyone know what type
of person McCain really is.

[snowbear]

20. McCain didn't make them, he hired the guy who DID make them.. even after..

..all the news about how controversial and racist they were.

But on the topic of McCain, if you haven't seen the "real McCain" video that someone shared on here.. you have to check it out.

It definitely shows anyone viewing it exactly what type of man he is >> http://therealmccain.com/

9. The DLC

the best "Democratic" leadership repuke money can buy

[Selatius]

11. I disagree fundamentally with the DLC and their Third Way.

I was always more of a New Deal type. The Progressive Caucus and people like Bernie Sanders come closer to mirroring my views on economic issues than these people.

[Kahuna]

13. He has to make a living. I don't see the problem.

:shrug: Go Harold!

[Ethelk2044]

16. I agree

I would take a job as well.  No one can blame him for earning
a living unless of course we are willing to take care of him
until he finds another job.
