"As the nineteen-nineties progressed, the Republicans, at least symbolically, became more of the big-tent party, with pro-choice governors, mayors, people like Giuliani and Schwarzenegger, highlighting their versatility on this issue," Roemer says. "The Democratic Party veered toward putting the flaps down on the tent. They're steered more by some of these special-interest groups, and, not being able to elect some of the pro-life Democrats in districts, we lost to Republicans."
The above statement is complete bull shit. Roemer is a proud member of the Democrat social club that includes Lieberman and Joey Biden.
I just gave all my blood away for the holidays. Please do not suggest any further displays of 'holiday spirit' or 'seasonal good cheer' or 'Xmas Greetings'. Actually, unless you're bringing me good roast beef or some nice chopped liver, I don't really have much to say until 11th March which is when United Blood Services tell me I'll be recovered.
"'Enkew," she said bloodlessly.

Yeah, as a matter of fact we came across this not only terribly intelligent but also unabashedly sexy thing at a self-described rant site:

Kirk, there are many left side blogs.
But I won't supply you with intelligent things to say. You have to come up with some of your own.

In fact, it happens because dumbass Vichy Democrats like Roemer keep doing things like [implying] that Democrats have some universal pro-choice litmus test while ignoring the fact that the most powerful Democratic politician in the country is pro-life--and even as strident a pro-choicer as I think he's done a great job
...Roemer, truly the wanker's wanker, continues to boo-hoo about his being denied the chairmanship of the DNC. What Boyer is allowing Roemer to imply is that he's a solidly progressive Democrat who happens to be pro-life (like our friends Hugo and Russell), and this is the only reason he was opposed. And, certainly, communitarian lefties should be a welcome part of the progressive movement. But in Roemer's case, it's just horseshit. Roemer voted for Bush's upper-class tax cuts while voting against Clinton's 1993 budget, and also favored Social Security privitization. Roemer's not a pro-life progressive; he's an unprincipled conservative Democrat.
post or send links...not much to read here. lots of open threads, misstatements, dem-agoguery, no viable argumentation. blah, blah, chimpeybushitlerburton, etc...

Hey, I didn't have to watch that, that's my Family enjoying that giddy, carefree Holiday Season, filled with personal threats, bitter grudges, long term plots and billiousness!
Kind of like TrollFest.

Watched McLaughlin Group last night. Segwayed to an interview with former NSA general Odom, of "Iraq is the greatest foreign policy disaster in American history" fame.
In light of the last two days Sunni led bombings and the certain Bader retaliation, Odom's response to the claim that the occupation is necessary to prevent a civil war bloodletting was particularly prescient.
Odom pointed out that all the occupation is doing is allowing the two sides to "train-up" on more effective killing techniques.
These two and three stage car bomb attacks are a good demonstration. They haven't quite figured out the timing for getting the bouncing betty truck through yet. Once they do, watch out.
In Vietnam, they'd encircle artillery with cyclone fencing. It would detonate rockets before they reached the artillery. It didn't take long to figure out that you wanted to send a second or third rocket right behind the first.
Someone should stun the hell out of Roemer by telling him that the Senate minority leader is a guy named Harry Reid, a Dem from a "Red" state, who is pro-life, and a Mormon.

'Bye Kurt. Hope you find that "something intelligent" you're looking for. A warning, though: if you post it on your blog w/out attribution it's called plagerism. And you'll sure as shit get caught because it will really stand out from all that dreck of your own.
Now, were were we? oh yeah-
Good choice of words by Odom "train-up". Because if he used the more normal term, "evolve", half of America would plug their ears and squeeze their eyes tight, chanting "na na na I can't hear you".
Us believers in the devil evolution said this was one of the many nasty surprises Iraq was going to have for us. Yeah, the country whose ass we kicked in what, 8-days was gonna stand in front of our tanks again?
You kick the crap out of the 80-lb weakling because he didn't curl up into a little ball. Well, next time he might curl up into that ball. More likely, he's gonna tell Marquis of Queesnbury to go take a hike and pack an unpleasant surprise for you.
People who spend their lives in Kennebunkport or Mommy's Suburban Basement oddly have something in common: the Real World always is a surprise to them.

Actually, I really came in here to post On-Topic.
Since to people like Kurt and, sadly, Roemer, we apparently have taken over the Democratic Party, I have a question:
Why don't we* have somebody to like maintain a list of Rethug Talking Points and blast-fax weekly, I dunno, Top Ten updates to our Reps? Just let them know where the landmines are and not to get trapped.
Will never work on Biden, he is half duplex, and Roemer is a whiny baby. But could be helpful to others.
*I of course men HoHo and his merry men, we are not, alas, really one-one-thousandth as important as the conservatroids think and the Republicans try to make us and nobody is going to read our faxes.

The repugs argue whether to bankrupt the nation with a trillion in tax cuts or 2 trillion. That makes for a "big-tent" in a cult mindset sort of way.
can someone direct me to a left side blog with something intelligent to say?
Go HERE and read how the "new" right came to control our government. No, it wasn't the product of the free market of ideas - it was a production of the conservative's "True" savior.
Literally.
I'm sure you know all about him. He outspent Scaife bringing hard right theocratic politics to America. The man said his job as the messiah was to raise up the "Christian" right politically in America and he did it.
Blind conservative's are being used and are dragging the nation and the world to hell for their "Savior".
