Who picks these dolts we put on television to speak for us ?
Edited on Fri Aug-18-06 06:30 PM by Justice Is Comin
Does anybody with an IQ above a hundred in the Democratic Party realize these people are being seen by millions of people?


:bluebox: Shrum He couldn't get Ray Charles elected to Black blind singers who play the piano top ten.

:bluebox: Jenny Backus She knows less than Jim Backus when he was playing Mr. Magoo. In fact, I'd prefer Mr. Magoo.

:bluebox: Steve something This is like a guy you'd find at a black tie event wearing brown shoes.

:bluebox: Brazille: She's the female version of Shrum, with possibly less knowledge. If you can stay awake while she's talking...well no, you can't.

:bluebox: Begala Now here's a real smiley boy with less passion than Morris the cat.....and these are only a few.


Is there anybody watching what boneheads these people are that are supposed to be giving factual cogent statements that hopefully could inform the viewing audience that we know what the hell we're talking about? That we are approaching the most crucial crisis election of our lifetime, and that we can expose republicans for the shameless, manipulating, facist, crime covering, lying body lice that they are if we only had somebody who had a vague idea of what the hell to say?


Then here comes Reid and Pelosi with their innovative new inspiration to the masses; A NEW DIRECTION. No, thats the most tired, lame, worn out, over used, useless political phrase that has been around for 200 years. Did you hire an advertising agency to come up with that or did you think of it all by yourselves? Jeezus Christ.

Where are the Katrina Vandenheuvals? Where is Terry McAuliffe even? He at least speaks with flare and conviction.

We're blowing along like a tumbleweed through a deserted town in the Old West. No leadership, no spokespeople that have a clue, can't even rally in unison to martial a movement against a self appointed tyrant who just told you he blatantly violated the constitution.

Fortunately that wind is blowing in the direction that might put us in the majority in the House. But give yourselves credit, you're trying to do everything in your power to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Pray to hell that wind is blowing just too strong. Because what I see from your ability and attention to any kind of competence, all you would get if you were kicked in the ass by our donkey is a brain contusion.

2. This is a BIG BEEF with me, too. Dem spokespeople used by the party and

by the cable shows were all schooled in defending Clinton but never really knew much about other Dems or their records and policies. It's been like that since the mid90s.

The media spokespeople for Dems and even most of the left media are really weak links for the overall Dem effort. The RW has a REAL message machine that will LIE with more conviction than a left pundit can relay the truth.

Kerry WON His matchups decisively throughout 2004 - the Dem spokespeople and left media got their asses handed to them on a daily basis by a RW machine that controlled the airwaves.

I hope Dean sees this and schools a new breed of spokepeople who are informed about ALL Dems, their records and contributions, and their positions on issues.

7. I could take drunks out of a bar
spend fifteen minutes with them, and make them more impressive than these Bullwinkles.

It is, and I'm not joking, just stunning to me how inept these people are. And to think what is a stake.

8. I used to be a drunk in a bar. I can assure you I wouldn't be on
on TV 5 minutes before I said to Paula Zahn "Wanna fuck?"-sooner if I thought it was near closing time. Other than that though, you are right.
