With Democrats like these as friends, who needs enemies?
Let's start with Chris Matthews, then Zell Miller, Susan Estrich, Judy Woodward, Tammy Bruce, Margaret Carlson, Donna Brazile, Terry McAuliffe, etc. Why do these people pretend to speak for us? I know I missed a whole bunch of 'girls' in the back room of the political brothel. Throw out the names and let's out them. These Democrats do not stand for the ideals that we do, so why do they call themselves Democrats?

17. Don't Think MORRIS Claims to be a Dem
Pre-CLINTON, almost all of his clients were Repukes. Will Google the POS again on this. Plus, he's cousin to both Roy COHN *and* contradictorily, Jules FEIFFER.

18. HELMS, LOTT, RIDGE, WELD, WILSON, Shrub, Prescott BUSH
Yeah, it's from a LaRouche site, but it's the top o'the list.

******QUOTE*****

http://www.larouchepub.com/pr/1996/morris_resigns.html

.... For the past 15 years, Dick Morris has been a behind-the-scenes operator, whose political clients have included President Clinton, as well as such Republican enemies of the President as Senators Jesse Helms (N.C.) and Trent Lott (Miss.), and Governors Tom Ridge (Pa.), William Weld (Mass.), and Pete Wilson (Calif.). In 1988, Morris worked on George Bush's Presidential campaign staff (his ties to the Bush family date back at least to 1980, when he ran Prescott Bush Jr.'s unsuccessful campaign for the U.S. Senate seat from Connecticut). Under these circumstances, it is no wonder that many Democratic Party campaign officials considered Morris a "GOP mole." Those feelings were buttressed by stories about Morris telling his GOP clients that Clinton was going to be brought down by the Whitewater special prosecutor. ....

5. Chris Matthews? He calls himself a Democrat?
We are living in the twilight zone. No doubt about it.

6. Yeah, and he used to write a column for the SF Chronicle.
He even sounded like one then, but he became one of the pod people.

10. Heh, probably directly related to his paycheck.
The tendency to vote Republican increases with one's income.

Makes me think of that movie with Roddy Piper, "They Live". The scene where the formerly homeless man tells the two protagonists that they can 'live the good life' if they only betray their fellow humans.

What a parable for modern life in America!!!!

15. Oh, yeah.
She's really dumb too, but I have to guess that Arnie likes 'em dumb so he doesn't feel stupid.

13. There are times I would put Begala on the list.

14. Yeah, he has said the same about Devilya, but I give
him the benefit of the doubt because he has really said stuff against BushCo on the air that other Dems have been pussyfooting around, like about the WMD lies, the military deaths in Iraq that I can think of now. There are many other things he has said about this administrations bungling of our economy. I think when he says he is friends, he's trying to indicate that he's a Washington insider and that he still can socialize with them without becoming one of them.

19. Shhhh! That's impermissible!
Merely raising the topic confirms you as an out-of-touch left wing extremist who just can't understand that you're not going to get 100% of what you want and who has failed Political Science 101 where we all learn about the necessity of compromise.

(point, point)

See the D?

(point, point)

It's a D! Now stop making trouble, troublemaker.

:crazy:

22. Alan Colmes, DLC, Tom Daschle.
Here's some more: Dick Morris is no Democrat, he is a Scumocrat. Tammy Bruce is a far right wing nut. Some Dem. Tim Russert is Rush's tongue boy (ever see one of his fawning interviews with Mr. Anal Cyst?). Won't comment further on Colmes and the DLC, but Daschle presided over the 2000 debacle, and is inside the Beltway so far you couldn't pry him out.
