Can we exchange party mascots with the rupubs? I give up on them!
Because they are the most stubborn jack-@$$es I've ever met!

My local radio host had the CHAIRMAN OF THE RNC on his show, asked soft questions..the chairman said he had just gotten through 'correcting' Wes Clark on his war stance (Strangly the Drudge story popped up about an hour later!).

So after the guy was gone, the host told callers he didnt fully understand what Bush was up to. I sent him all of the PNAC and draft info and asked BEGGED him to read it. He did...I got the following reply:

We aren't taking over all the other countries. Challenge or threathen us and we will react. I believe we will walk softly and carry a big stick just like Roosevelt (Teddy). Best dave

Yesterday, he accused me (and one of the DU writers) un-american because I oppose the IRAQ war!

3. This isnt a 'tow the line' person...
He wrote back after returning from a protest he organized on our state capitol steps, to protest how our school reform is being handled.

6. funnily enough
It was the racist post civil war democrats that earned democrats the donkey mascot. After democrats decided to support civil rights in the 1950-60's, many of those racists joined the republican party.
