ALBANY, N.Y. -- "New York's Republican state chairman said Monday that Howard Dean's election as Democratic national chairman shows the rival party's leaders "have refused to learn the lessons of the past two election cycles."

"Howard Dean is the personification of today's national Democratic Party _ elite, radical, out-of-control, and sadly out-of-touch with ordinary Americans," said state GOP Chairman Stephen Minarik....."

Minarik's Democratic counterpart in New York, Herman Farrell, was dismissive of the GOP leader's statements.

"The New York Republican Party is in shambles," the state Democratic chairman said. "You are broke and fighting among yourselves. Governor (George) Pataki's popularity ratings have sunk to record lows. In the last decade, you have lost seats in both houses in Albany, both houses in Washington, statewide and in counties across the state.

"Come back to us after you have won a few races," Farrell added...."


A toast to Mr. Farrell...that is how you do it.
:toast: :toast:

2. The Repukes have
moved so far right that they have lost the blue states. Ever wonder why they aren't worried about that while they keep telling us to move further right to get the South?

5. However, he knows how to balance a budget.
I always think its funny they call Dean elite - he is an avid outdoorsman from Vermont. Unlike Bush, he even knows how to work for a living.

7. Denny Farrell's pretty cool..
I've met him outside my subway station where he sometimes stands to greet his continuents.

I think the Republicans are just so angry that they didn't convince the Dems not to pick Dean that they don't know what to do. haha!

Sorry, pal. Howard Dean's election as Democratic National Chairman shows that the rival party's leaders FINALLY DID learn the lessons of the past two election cycles. SOMETHING finally sunk into their thick heads, this time. That's the point. They FINALLY DID learn.

Now go STUFF it. Go cheney yourself.

9. is the NY GOP using a random-insult-generator for press releases?
"...elite, radical, out-of-control, and sadly out-of-touch with ordinary Americans,"

Seems so stilted a phrase that cheap software could do better.

Obviously the GOP needs fresh adjectives to describe Democrats.
