What Democrat scares Republicans the most?

[KingFlorez]

Right now, I think it's Nancy Pelosi. The thought that a progressive woman could become Speaker of the House is terrifying to them.

[DURHAM D]

1. Just the white men are afraid of her.

It is nothing personal about Pelosi - just what she represents.

[acmavm]

4. That's funny. It also happens to be correct. But it's still funny.

[Radical Activist]

2. Bill Clinton

That's why they still blame everything on him. Too bad he can't run.

[Bitwit1234]

3. More so that

she would then be second in line for the presidency, after bush and after cheney....and they know damn well if the democrats win the two of them better be fitted for orange jumpsuits. AND THEN THE REAL AMERICANS CAN SAY ''MISSION ACCOMPLISHED'''

[tridim]

5. All of us. n/t

[LTR]

6. Hillary, easy

Neocons are threatened by women with power.

[Kerry fan]

7. John Kerry scares republicans most..

And, as president, John Kerry will be the biggest thorn in their side.

[Joe Chi Minh]

14. You got it. John Kerry; with John Edwards as his side-kick again.

They are both on the side of the PEOPLE, of democracy - and their record over the years shows it, without ambiguity.

Kerry also knows his way round the block in terms of the privileged, the rich and powerful, and I think Edwards would be an apt learner, and more than capable when Kerry steps down.

It never ceases to amuse me how the moment Kerry's name is mentioned, certain bright sparks immediately chirp in, "If only I could believe in him again...". Pardon me if I'm sceptical of their credentials.

The visible remnant of the far right could work with Clinton. He's too easy-going and pliable in the direction of right-wing economics for the imperative needs of the country and its people's future.

[LostInAnomie]

8. Bill Clinton

There has not been a Democrat that can get the message out as effectively as him since FDR. The Repukes have made every effort possible to attack, slander, and discredit the man and he is still probably one of the most popular men in the world. When he speaks the country listens. That is why anytime he says anything the wailing hordes of RW talk radio and Faux news mobilize to scream lies.

[salin]

9. an elected one. Esp a president, or senate or house leader.

The actual person is irrelevant - it is the position with a (d) that threatens them. And it doesn't nec. have to threaten them - it is just that they have learned to reflexively villify any elected dem. It is what they do.

[BrotherBuzz]

10. Henry Waxman is going to become the most feared congressman come January

when he is empowered with the big 'I' - Investigation. Oh the power of the subpoena will be helpful, too. Man, oh man alive, Henry is a damn bulldog when it comes to details, and the cockroaches will be running but they can't hide.

[BlooInBloo]

11. Lamont

[Ino]

12. John Conyers!

n/t

[stray cat]

13. Bill Clinton

[KoKo]

15. Waxman, Conyers and the Progressive Caucus in the House. Cynthia

McKinney scared them so bad they managed to get our Dems to throw her under the bus. We need to guard Waxman, Conyers, Kucinich, Louise Slaughter and the rest of the heroes of the Dem House. They will be pushed out by the DLC'ers if we regain the House. They will not be made Chairs of Committees they've served on because they will be deemed too RADICAL.

[reichstag911]

16. Any Dem with subpoena power! (nt)

[AlinPA]

17. Obama.

[Vidar]

18. John Conyers.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

19. Still Bill Clinton

They know if there were no 22nd amendment, he'd have wiped the floor with Dumbya four years ago.

[Perky]

20. Barack Obama

Because they have no one who can measure up intellectually, oratorically or charismatically. He is completely the opposite of Bush which is what 2008 is going to be about.

[Jim Sagle]

21. Dean and his lean and mean DNC machine.

[dmosh42]

22. You are exactly right!

Pelosi will have the power to steer the agenda of the house, and that includes pushing for subpoenas and investigations. Those two items strike terror into the hearts of all the incumbent Republicans, plus I don't think she can be bought as easy as fat-boy Hastert and co.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

23. I doubt if many do.

How many Republicans scare you? I imagine a great many of the Democrats inspire hatred, but very few inspire genuine fear.

[davekriss]

24. We the People (eom)

[LeftishBrit]

25. Their opponents in their own constituencies, and those who vote for......

those opponents. Politicians are generally primarily afraid of losing their own jobs, and they would do this directly as a result of voters and indirectly as a result of their opponents, rather than Democratic politicians as a whole.

[never_get_over_it]

26. Truthfully doesn't matter what Dem was minority leader right now

the repunks would be saying can you imagine Dem rep X as Speaker of the House - they don't want nay Dem as speaker - now maybe the fact that Pelosi is a woman might bother some of them more - but it really isn't about Pelosi.....

John Conyers should scare the crap out of them - you go John I love you....

[caledesi]

27. Hillary AND Bill Cinton. nt

[poverlay]

28. Hillary makes them lose bladder control... n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

29. The one they secretly KNOW can wax their ass in 2008.

[StellaBlue]

34. Yep

I've been saying this since May.

He's going to run, and he's going to win.

Everybody I know laughs me out of the room when I say it outside of DU. But mark my words.

[K8-EEE]

30. They Are Completely Unhinged About Hillary BUT....

when you confront a freeper and ask the scariest thing she's ever done or said in office they draw a blank! They have just been programmed to be s-s-scared of her so they are. They are all so brainwashed.

[Rocknrule]

31. Bill Clinton's penis

He's the most powerful Democrat ever, in their eyes

[hsher]

38. Another DU-er a few days ago called it "The Clenis"

:rofl:

[StellaBlue]

32. I agree - Big Dawg. But I think they're kinda scared of Al Gore, too.

nt

[Disturbed]

33. Bill Clinton "Too bad he can't run."

If Hillary became Pres. Bill would most likely be Chief of Staff. It would be a duo Presidency.

[lpbk2713]

35. Hannity is scared to death of Pelosi

It's very obvious that she worries him. He's forever droning on about her on his little dog n pony show.

[truthisfreedom]

36. if Hillary ran with Pelosi as Veep, they'd sh*t bricks.

[hsher]

37. Hillary

Love how they call her a Socialist.
Ha! I wish she were.

[Odin2005]

39. Any Dem who refuses to play the Culture Wars game and has a unifying...

..vision for America instead. Gore, Dean, and Edwards are the Pukes' worst nightmare.


Hillary is a culture warrior with no vision, she can go screw herself and the rest of the morons in the DLC.

[OhioChick]

40. Bill Clinton n/t
