The Moose urges the donkey not to obsess on Karl.

if the Democrats obsess on him and he is innocent of the charges, he could re-emerge even stronger. If he or another member of the Administration is indicted, however, it will be devastating and the Democrats will have little to do with it.

Yes… that was Wittman expressing a shadow of a doubt that Karl Rove could be in fact “INNOCENT”  

Meanwhile, according to the latest polls, America views both the Republicans and the Democrats with disdain. Since the Republicans control power, they will probably be hurt more than the Democrats by Washington’s growing unpopularity. But, the donkey doesn’t necessarily benefit when Americans believe that they are also out of touch with their concerns.

The point is that the Democrats can’t merely be the party of “no” – or “we hate Karl”. While we are seething with our justifiable anger, the Republican Chairman is making serious overtures to the African-American community. And what kind of effective out reach is the Democratic Party making to groups that have been estranged from the party in recent years? (THE DLC DIRECTIVES ARE AND AL FROM ARE THE FUCKING REASON WHY THESE “GROUPS” HAVE BEEN “ESTRANGED FROM THE PARTY IN RECENT YEARS” IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!)

The politics of scandal do not always pay off for the opposition party. In the 1988 campaign, Iran-contra did not doom an incumbent Veep with ties to the scandal. And Democrats actually made gains in 1998 in the midst of the Lewinsky frenzy.

Surely the donkey should be pursue Rove, but Democrats should not be consumed with him. (OH REALLY… I WONDER WHAT DOES WITTMAN, A REPUBLICAN CHRISTIAN COALITION FUNDAMENTALIST SUGGEST WE STUPID DEMOCRATS DO INSTEAD…? CONFIRM GONZALES TO THE SCOTUS, OR PERHAPS HE WOULD BE HAPPIEST IF WE JUST ALL ROLLED OVER DIED…THAT WOULD MAKE HIS LIFE MUCH EASIER THAN KEEPING UP THIS CHARADE THAT HE AND AL FROM ARE  REMOTELY INTERESTED IN THE WELFARE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY)

Where does one start…?

The DLC has gone from pathetic to just downright wretched.

I just want to highlight this one gem: “Republican Chairman is making serious overtures to the African-American community”… what Wittman CONVENIENTLY forgets to mention is that the DLC has been on a ramapage since LIEberman’s Chairmanship of the DLC to distance the Democratic party from African Americans…

Lieberman has a long record of hostility toward affirmative action that even his liberal apologists in the Democratic Party cannot hide. Back in 1995, when Lieberman took over the DLC, he declared, “You can’t defend policies that are based on group preferences as opposed to individual opportunities, which is what America has always been about.” Lieberman embraced California’s Proposition 209 in 1996, which outlawed affirmative action programs in that state. When President Clinton, after months of hesitation, finally put forward the formulation that affirmative action programs ought to be “mended, not ended,” Lieberman led the opposition within the Democratic Party. The DLC’s Progressive Policy Institute issued a report criticizing Clinton’s position, and called for abolishing it for government hiring and contracting, and making it voluntary in private business.

This is why LIEberman mentions at every opportunity that he marched with MLK…

Now the DLC assholes have the gall to start wimpering about GOP overtures to African Americans… that is not what they were saying  last year when they told everyone to shut up and fall in line… there were even a few chuckles over the fact that African Americans had “no place else to go”…

Why we are listening to these fools who have shown nothing but contempt for Democrats and the Democratic base is beyond me?

So forgive me if I don’t swallow this new DLC directive to… “Be nice to Rove” just like I didn’t swallow the last one that somehow caving in on the filibuster was “A Good Thing”…
