VALUING PATRIOTISM

by Will Marshall

American voters know that 9/11 put national security back at the center of politics. Democrats should unify behind a new progressive patriotism.

1. There are two words that fly in the face of each other.

Katherine Harris. The woman who foisted Bush on us.

[deadparrot]

2. Wow. Oxymoron much? nt

[JimmyJazz]

18. That would be Oxymoran around these parts.

[punpirate]

3. Hell, it's just like her description of herself in 2000...

... a pro-Bush non-partisan public official.

Anyone tested her for disassociative schizophrenia lately?

[Ksec]

4. a stupid genuis?

a fence sitter who lies ..even about who she is...

[htuttle]

5. Progressive Conservative? Like a Jumbo Shrimp?

Or a short tall person?

[GCP]

[Mythsaje]

7. Hah! Teddy Roosevelt she isn't...

[Spinzonner]

10. Harris is in her passive activist phase...

[Vickers]

11. That's weird, because *I* always describe her as a "delusional assclown"

I'm sure there's a fundamental difference, but I'm too tired to try and think what it is right now.

[NMDemDist2]

19. ROFL

too funny!

[Hippo_Tron]

45. LMAO that's great

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Progressive? Is she for environmental protection, civil rights,

universal healthcare, cradle-to-grave public education, publicly funded transparent elections, and using the military only as a very last resort EVER???

No? Some progressive she is!

[Doo_Revolution]

13. Here's the truth and facts about Will Marshall.

http://rightweb.irc-online.org/ind/marshall/marshall.ph...

http://rightweb.irc-online.org/org/pnac.php

Will Marshall of the DLC is as far from democratic as the earth is from the moon. He's a member of PNAC, and so up is down and backwards is fowards. Harris is a progressive, and the moon is made of cheese in this universe.

14. Thanks for the links and welcome to DU

[delhurgo]

15. I just heard her say "progressive conservative" on Hardball too. nm

[Guaranteed]

25. So it wasn't an accident.

This is ridiculous! LOL

[VioletLake]

16. It's a good sign

that they covet the word. Shows how much they think it's worth.

They need it to mask the stink of the words they're stuck with.

[gokar]

17. Yeah right.....Katherine is also ugly good looking lol

21. She's pretty well preserved for a woman of 75

Too bad she doesn't make any sense when she talks.

I hope she's the candidate after the primaries.

This is going to be fun.. NOMINATE HER REPUBLICANS !!!!!!!!!

[gatorboy]

26. "Most liberal voting records in the Senate."

So what is he? 1? 2? 37?

Didn't Kerry have the most liberal voting record not too long ago? Oy.

[snowbear]

28. harris is a shrew. I hope they piss a billion dollars down that hole

and take a big ass loss. Perhaps that will be the end of harris.

[iwantmycountryback]

29. That makes zero sense

When she said that I thought she was using them to like compare the 2. She seemed to be high throughout the interview however and sounded like a teenage girl.

[snowbear]

30. You're 100% right.....

She did sound like Rush had slipped her a few Oxycontins... She was slurring her words pretty badly!

32. Oh brother

Looks like someone is desperate because the political winds are blowing.

[TankLV]

33. She also claimed she was impartial and non-partisan during the coup.

SHE WAS THE FUCKING CAMPAIGN CHAIR OF THE REPUKES BUNKERBOY CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA!

[agincourt]

35. Ok I get it,

She'd rather take us back to 1870, rather than 1840.

[ChiciB1]

36. Katherine Harris Is

Delusional!! Nelson IS NOT, has NEVER BEEN a LIBERAL!! Very far from it!

I wish the Democrats had a better candidate with MORE Liberal views. He's so so DINO!!

Anyway, why all this stuff about Cruella???

[ChiciB1]

37. Madfloridian... Time To Bring Out That Info On Nelson

VERY VERY NOT A LIBERAL!!

[JerseygirlCT]

38. Nope. She's an oxymoran nt

[blueblitzkrieg]

39. The woman has NOTHING going on upstairs.

Anyone who saw her pathetic interview on H & C knows that...she's a disgrace.

[graywarrior]

40. I've seen her debate. She has to read her responses.

[Submariner]

41. She must mean her progressive mams

[peekaloo]

42. She must be describing her makeup technique.

[tinfoilinfor2005]
