Freepers take on the "Death of the 'Democrat' Party"
I know, I know, I know...I shouldn't go over there, but like the circus...they sometimes put on a good show.

One of their posters claims to have gone to Yale with Joe (a-hem). Well, I guess if you look at the example of our Pretzledent, going to Yale does not make you smart, but I digress. Ole' Congressman Billybob anylizes the results of Joe's loss, and lo' and behold, he sees the death of the "democrat" Party.

Those of you who want a good laugh, or remain curious as to how Lamont's victory is going to be used against Democrats..put on your hip-waders and visit the cesspool

"The Democrat Party died yesterday in Hartford, Connecticut. Present when this venerable institution breathed its last were a minority of the Democrats in the Nutmeg State. The Party was the child of the Republican-Democrat Party, and the Anti-Federalist Party. It leaves no known descendants. However, political parties sometimes spawn children many years after their deaths.

Is that verdict too harsh? The leaders of the Democrat Party in Washington, New York, and elsewhere, are not admitting even to a serious illness. It’s difficult to conduct a proper Irish wake when on-lookers insist on prodding the deceased to sing and dance.

--------------this is priceless. I've bolded some interesting spots----------------------------

"Ned Lamont was the choice of the Connecticut Democrats. He’s a wealthy man who bought his nomination. This is a sad but spreading phenomenon in both parties. One reason I tend to distrust filthy-rich people who buy their way into office – regardless of their politics or party – is that they are disconnected from real life

Such people simply are not touched by worry about paying taxes, putting up with government regulation, or facing the myriad of real issues of real people. That brings us back to Ned Lamont. A prime mover in putting him into office was MoveOn.org. Rather than describe that outfit, I encourage every reader to go to their website. Read a sample of their policies; decide for yourself whether they are barking mad moonbats. While you’re at it, read up on George Soros, the eminence grise behind MoveOn, and various other financial puppet masters."

C'mon Congressman Billybob. Tell us about the "hardscrabble" life of your "boy king".

3. They're right. It IS the death of the "Democrat" party.

That is, the cowering, capitulating DLC wing of the Democratic party that has allowed itself to be framed, ridiculed and bullied into submission by the goons of the far-right Corporatist party. It's a huge victory and a jolt of much-needed energy for the Democratic party, which will now, I suspect, be somewhat more responsive to the wishes of its rank and file.

7. one smart freeper says:
Unfortunately polls show if the election were held today, Democrats would probably take a majority in the Senate. If you can believe polls. In any case those who are proclaiming the death of the Democrat party are being a tad premature, sad to say.

8. They only spout the death of the Dem party....
because they haven't been issued new talking points. Mehlman can only type so fast.
Or, maybe their fax machine is broken.
Or maybe they have assigned so many professional posters to DU because of the I/P situation, they are
running short on cheerleaders to assign to Free Republic.

:shrug:

10. Correct a mundo, Roy. Ironic for Congressman Billy Bob to be calling

Lieberman's defeat a left wing purge when
he advocates the purging of the gang of
14 RINOs from the Republican Party.

The would be congressman BB is a Rovian
disinformation artist and a certifiable
retard.

11. Maybe it's because they have such small "internets tubes"
Could be that all the traffic from Jo-Mentums site is preventing the RNC from getting new talking points out.

"Such people simply are not touched by worry about paying taxes, putting up with government regulation, or facing the myriad of real issues of real people."

like... oh what's that guy's name...? You know - son of a son of a rich and well-connected man... went to Ivy League schools... hmm. He's already fading from my memory, and I can't remember.

12. Ya'll suppose those people don't notice how many of their party
officers and elected officials are filthy rich? From the top down to those idiots who pay exhorbitant money to get into BBQs and get their picture taken with Little Boots?
