More courage from other Democrats.

[Mass]

Thank god, Schumer, Pelosi, and Dean stood up for Kerry, because some others are making the problem bigger than it needs to do.

Latest in line, the NC Democratic chair called on Kerry to apologize.

1. As a NC Democrat, I'll e-mail Mr. Meek

when I get home tonight and let him know my feelings on the matter (and his call for an apology). I'll try to be nice.

2. Murtha steps up to the plate. "There is no question in my mind Kerry is supporting the troops"

3. Good for Murtha. n/t

10. Watched the Murtha interview

Andrea Mitchell kept trying to get him to talk about Kerry, but Murtha wouldn't do it. He made the comment how Kerry was a decorated war hero who always supports the troops, but everytime Andrea Mitchell would bring up Kerry, Murtha would change the subject and talk about how f*d up Iraq is. He would not stoop down to that level. Murtha was great.

I will add that even tho Andrea Mitchell was playing the msm game, she did say over and over that she can't believe Kerry would talk bad about the troops.

4. OK -- I'll say it.

SCREW these Chicken Little Southern Democrats.

Honestly, I have NO IDEA how I "happened" and what fortuitous set of circumstances made me what I am. The Democratic Party in the South is a bunch of mealy-mouthed yellow weasels who cower in fear of the big bad Republicans. No fucking WONDER they lose in the South.

Just fuck them. Hard.

I'm surprised that Schumer said anything, but great for him. I'll withhold criticism of him. Pelosi, no real surprise. I've liked her for a long time. Dean -- I'd be shocked if he DIDN'T say anything. Excellent.

As for the others, if they want to make up to the Republicans, they should just fucking BECOME REPUBLICANS or keep their damn mouths SHUT. THEY are why the party has the "divided" meme.

9. That was beautiful Firespirit!

:yourock:

Kind of reminded me of your rant about Haley "Fuckin'" Barbour, last year on a cold December night in a certain bar in Boston. :rofl:

And just for the record, as a fellow Southerner, I so agree with you. I've come to the painful conclusion that the Southern Democratic Party is useless. (At least for Democrats - they are very useful to Republicans.)

5. Good answer from Webb.

6. I like that.

He acknowledged what KErry has acknowledged. The joke was botched. Then let it go.

I like Jim Webb a little more today and am happy I contributed to him.

7. i think the attacks on Webb recently

makes him view this in a similar way. he knows they go so far as to make things up in order to attack.

8. Me, too.

That was really classy.
