I watched him yesterday and a little bit today (it is on right now). He seems to go out of his way to paint Hillary in a good light. He claims Obama is his friend though. Hmmmmm....

26. I even sent him $5 in 2006 to help build the senate
knowing what a slimeball his family was. His brother ran against
the progressive democrat for Congressman Steve Cohen who
thankfully won. I sent him $5 to help steve.

4. If anything, Harold Ford is just as conservative as Gerald Ford.
Maybe even more so.

5. He's a total DLC crony.
I had to hold my nose when I voted for him last election. Unfortunately, he lost because of a racist commercial that was played right before the election.

16. All the more reason for him not to support the race baiting Clintons, DLC President or not.

28. I agree.
But it's amazing what money and power does to your principles. And here in TN - we take any Democrat we can get. Even shitty ones. :D Well - except for Lieberman. Thank god he's not our problem here.

8. DLC, baby. Birds of a Feather.
The only time I really, really loved Harold Ford was when he went charging down the aisle in the House of Representatives shouting "TAKE THEM DOWN!!" when Mean Jean Schmidt said "Cowards cut and run, Marines never do."

10. Well considering that he is the Chairman of the DLC and Hillary is...
chair of the DLC's American Dream Initiative I expect very likely that he is a Hillary supporter.

22. Yup. Probably because when he said it the last poll showed Hillary only 1 point behind Obama.
Now that the new poll has her 21 points behind, I bet he regrets saying that!

18. "My name is Harold Ford, I oppose gay marriage and I like girls and I support the war in Iraq"
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 05:25 PM by David Zephyr
"My name is Harold Ford and I want to have Howard Dean's job as Chair of the DNC."

"My name is Harold Ford and I will gladly be a willing puppet to my ventriloquist, Al From, for the title of Chair of the DLC."

"My name is Harold Ford; watch me compromise."

Harold always made sure that when he told audiences that while he was a bachelor, that he opposed gay marriage and that he like football and that he liked girls."

The reason Ford didn't get his senate seat in 06 he was seen as too corporate leaning.

21. Of course he is. HIS "big news story" was "Don't count her out!"
THEN he had the nerve to say her Wright comment was fair and he doesn't believe it's about race. :eyes:

23. Yeah, he's really a piece of work. He's trying to help Hillary by separating
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 05:24 PM by wienerdoggie
Wright from race so that no one blames her when blacks get pissed and refuse to vote Dem if she steals the nom. In other words, he's trying to focus the laser to maximize damage on Obama, while minimizing collateral racial damage Hillary is causing by trying to revive the issue.
