This Week-I cannot stand Donna Braz.... why can't we have people

[liveoaktx]

speak for Democrats that are not Republican-lites?

[NewJeffCT]

1. don't you know

If we had Russ Feingold or Paul Hackett or similar on their, they might make their Republican counterparts look silly and/or stupid.

[hwmnbn]

2. Yep, she ALWAYS underwhelms me....

too often to be coincidence. Now is not the time for equivocators, we need strong voices speaking our positions simply, clearly and consistently.

She has to go.

[Catch22Dem]

3. Al Gore won in 2000, but...

If he had someone other than her running that campaign, the vote count would not have been nearly as close and would have made it impossible for the pukes to steal.

4. She is, above all, a self-promoter...

One would have thought that having had family suffer through Katrina in NOLA, she would have had an epiphany--that maybe her close "lunch-grabbing" relationship with Karl Rove and others just really wasn't a good idea. I think she is arrogant enough to think she would be victorious in the mutual attempts to "exploit" each other. Or, she simply feels free to sell out the Dems sufficiently to keep Rove's ice picks out of her own back.....

Never have trusted her. I sympathized when her sister was unaccounted for during Katrina (later found ok), but she is a true sell-out. Just like Condi and Powell, except she proves more useful to Rove by staying alligned with the Dems...:eyes:

7. You mean, just like Russert and Matthews.

[hlthe2b]

9. without a doubt....

[KittyWampus]

15. Excellent Take On Her. Anyhow, the Show Producers decide which Dems

get asked onto the shows.

[madeline_con]

5. Is she some sort of official spokesperson?

Just because I see her trotted into the "Situation Room" with Wolf in the afternoon doesn't mean she speaks for the party, does it? :shrug:

[hwmnbn]

10. WE can make those distinctions.....

here on DU, but the rest of america sees her speaking for the democratic party. They ASSUME she is the spokesperson.

She has to go.

I'm wondering if there isn't a committee in the DNC to manage the message. Choose effective spokespeople, draft a consistent message, and get THESE folks on the talk shows. Damn, how hard could that be?

We could probably come up with a consensus here on DU who those spokespeople should be.

[flyarm]

11. my choices: Feingold, Feingold , Feingold , Feingold, and Feingold n/t

[hwmnbn]

12. I take it you're impressed with Feingold....

excellent choice. I'd also add Dean, Murtha, Conyers, Hackett, Lawrence O'Donnell, hell even folks like George Clooney and Tim Robbins.

The point is to not only delineate a contrast between repugs and dems, but to have the courage of their convictions to stand behind their positions.

[flyarm]

14. u are right..and feingold is my man!! he tells it like it is and he seems

to be the one dem who consitantly is informed!

many i do not believe are informed..in fact after talking to many congress people i ..know..many are uninformed!

fly

[burythehatchet]

6. one of the intellectual midgets on the scene

doesn't have a conviction to lean on, simply shocked that she's taken seriously, fits right in at the DLC.

[bambo53]

8. Can't anything be done to stop this madness?

As long as Donna and Bob Shrum and Joe Biden continue to speak for the Democratic party we're doomed to failure.

[springhill]

13. I really believe that we have moles.......

in the Democratic party. Why wouldn't that have been a stratgy of the Republicans from way back. They want to infiltrate everything, and posing as a Democrat would be an entirely plausible theory to me.

[Cleita]

16. I believe so too.

I find that people like Tammy Bruce, who spouts RW talking points and writes for RW journals, even the ones Ann Coulter writes for, yet claims she is a Democrat is just full of pure baloney. It seems that she's the Democrat that the whore news bring in to present the "other side".

She was also the President of the Los Angeles chapter of NOW because she says she's a lesbian, but why do I keep feeling that her heart really wasn't into women's equal rights. As for Donna Brazille, she's DLC all the way and that's Republican Lite, no doubt about it.
