CNN's meme: You can't be 'comfortable' being a Democrat
I was just going through yesterday's CNN transcripts. Blitzer and Whoreduff kept asking so-called 'moderate' dems how they could stand to be in the Democratic party. Here's some examples.

"BLITZER: You often have been on the side of the Democratic Party, that's not necessarily mainstream from the Democrats, more liberal. You are much more moderate. *Do you still feel comfortable as a Democrat?*

BREAUX: I think it is a good balance on the ticket. We have someone from the Northeast. We have someone from the South."

http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0407/28/wbr.00.html

"WOODRUFF: Senator Lieberman, *do you feel at home in this Democratic Party?* You support the war. Most of the vast majority of these delegates did not support the war.

LIEBERMAN: Yes.

WOODRUFF: You've taken positions to the moderate to conservative side of the Democratic Party. *Do you feel comfortable here?*

LIEBERMAN: Yes, I feel totally comfortable. First, on a very personal basis, I've been through a lot with these folks. "

http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0407/28/se.01.html

Here's Whoreduff playing the Hollywood card using ominous tones.

"WOODRUFF: Do you think there is what some people like to refer to as a cultural divide in this country, where you've got, you know, *solid mainstream values on one side and something different altogether on the other side?*

DREYFUSS: I think that there are two Americas. There always have been."

http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0407/28/ip.02.html

Then there's Bill Schneider saying over and over again that the Democratic party is "a party of doves." How opposing an unwise and unnecessary war makes you dove is beyond me - I think the term should be 'smart hawks'.

1. I'm perfectly comfortable.
* solid mainstream values. That made me :puke: WTF is she talking about? My values are quite mainstream - honesty, integrity, compassion. Don't see much of that on the other side.

2. They asked a similar question of Dean on PBS
They asked him if the Democratic Party was a party for liberals, implying "liberal only"

Dean knocked it out of the ballpark

3. Did you guys see Wolf on The Daily Show?
When Jon asked him about the Iraq WMD screw ups and should someone be held accountable, Wolf's answer was, 'Haven't you ever made a mistake?'

Oh yes, Jon losing his car keys is just like invading a country. These guys don't even try to hide it anymore. Where are my They Live sunglasses when I need them????

5. Judy, do you feel comfortable on your knees, fellating republicans?
I mean after all, you've really given a lot of head over the years.

WOODRUFF: Yes, I feel totally comfortable. First, on a very personal basis, I've been through a lot with these folks. Second, it tastes good.

Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 03:36 PM by NoBorders
something different altogether on the other side?" I can hardly believe she actually said that. What the hell is on the other side? A bunch of free-sex heroine addicts? Unbelievable.

"I think that there are two Americas. There always have been"

One's that live in the past...way WAY in the past and the ones looking to move forward to better days.

Whats happening in this country is what normally happens when we lose sight of where we need to go and the right ways to get there. When you have the wrong person steering you will get to a destination but will it be the right one?...will it be the better for ALL American's even the ones that are kicking and screaming all the while the journey is going on?

It depends on who is in control...we have in the past three and a half years see what happens when George Bush has control of the wheel.

I just hope its not too late for us to turn back and fix those mistakes he has asked us to all be a part....

16. the old line of blarney they feed Oklahomans; they're real America,
and the coasts are just plasticy afterthoughts tacked on, out-of-it Californians and latte elitists in the Northeast and Chicago. "Withawt ya, them yuppie citislikkers and damnyankees'll dah in droavs," honk the "local" politicos in their store-bought accents. This claptrap is funneled by oillionaires laughing in their sleeves as J.C. Watts fiends wail about "sound science" and big-haired televangelists turn their eyes towards heaven and beg for dough from atop their solid-ruby thrones.

15. I am just so sick of all their personal opinions
sprinkled into everything they say and do.

These talking airheads continually bombard us, with their snide remarks and relentless bashing of all things democratic.

What they don't realize is that everyday more and more people are turning them off. These days, it seems everyone is getting their information from the internet, except for the talking airheads and the loyalist Bu$hbots. They are so out of touch that really have no clue about reality anymore.
