     The Democrat Party f-ed up big time.  Thanks for that list of numbers.  I’m copying it and using it for my next batch of calls to the Democrats.

     FWIW, my father has been a Democrat his entire life, and has on several occasions made excuses for recent incidences of misbehavior. “the vote was close”; “they had to compromise”; “governing is tricky, it’s a balance.”

     After the moveon debacle, he agrees with me.  They ARE the Democrat Party. There’s nothing democratic about them at all.

     dada,
     I know this sounds terrible, but I was laughing my head off listening to the impersonator doing his thing. Now, the strange part of it all is you could picture the monkey putting out this exact video, & be meaning it.
     The guy on the video is very good in being able to make it so believable.

   When has Mr Cole been wrong? As far as Cafferty is concerned- I can’t get U-tube(Dial Up) So I don’t know what he said. I do know that we have not seen any coverage of this report in the major outlets. That is still the problem. What do the dems have to do- rape, kidnap, mollest? What?
    By the way- how about commenting on schip. did the vote take place? Results?

         It must have been prior to the 2006-elections, judging from the references given in his (great) rant.
