"opposition Democrats"

[TheReligiousLeft]

<http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/07/13/iraq.wmd.int/index.html>
Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts
Sen. Bob Graham of Florida
CNN (3rd paragraph) refered to BG and JK as "Opposition Democrats" What does that mean? It sounds like there are the good normal dems. then the "opposition dems." or maybe the opposition dems are some kind of government in exile...
I really know what they are trying to say, but it seems a strange way to say it. Maybe a good way though...
"I AM AN OPPOSITION DEMOCRAT!" Oh man, that feels kind of good. Say it with me everyone. "I'm an opposition democrat!"

2. Are Dennis Kucinich and Howard Dean opposition Democrats?

If that means not cowtowing to the center/Republican Lite than that suits me fine!

3. No cowtowing

Sounds like a good enough definition of Opposition Democrat to me. The article only mentioned Gram and Kerry. I'm thinking Kucinish and Dean are Opposition material as well!

5. This post is misleading

Neither Graham or Kerry called anyone else opposition democrats. CNN is referring to the Dems as opposition Dems.

We are all the * Cabal's opposition.

6. it seems clear to me

:shrug:

The original poster says, "CNN (3rd paragraph) refered to BG and JK as 'Opposition Democrats'" and then goes on to discuss the term.
