If you want an unbiased opinion, I'm sure Ollie North is the man. Geez, Xray.
Got to really love Al Gore, the real spokesman for the Dimms.
I still have to laugh at his "no controlling authority". Anyhow,
thought you might like a nice read on the Dimms.
"Foot-in-mouth disease
By Oliver North
Jan 20, 2006
WASHINGTON -- Pity the poor Democrats. Five years of George W. Bush in office have driven them to distraction. Their most audible advocates have developed "Mad Mule Malady." The symptoms are identical to "Foot-in-Mouth Disease," and those running for office under the Democrat Party banner this year are likely to find their colleagues' increasingly vicious verbal gaffes to be both memorable and damaging.
The onset of their illness could not be more instructive. As leading Democrats are attacking Republicans, al Qaeda is planning to attack America. That is what we are told by Osama bin Laden, who, in an audio tape in which contents are being confirmed, threatens new terrorist attacks against the United States and our citizens. And once again, in the most important issue of our time -- the defeat of radical Islamic jihadists -- Democrats are proving themselves irrelevant.
This week, Hizzoner Ray Nagin, the Mayor of New Orleans, used a Martin Luther King Day celebration to urge that the Big Easy be re-built as a "Chocolate City." Not to be outdone by a mere mayor's blatant racism, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., chose an MLK-Day event sponsored by the Reverend Al Sharpton to liken the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives to a "plantation." Her foray into race baiting followed the outburst of her friend and aging entertainer Harry Belafonte who, on a recent visit to Venezuela, described President Bush as "the world's greatest terrorist."
These strange statements might have topped the week were it not for former Vice President Al Gore, who used a speech in Washington to declare that President Bush has placed "our Cons ution … at risk," by directing the National Security Agency (NSA) to monitor communications between suspected terrorist operatives in the United States and individuals overseas.
Gore, in a lengthy speech to the "trans-partisan" Liberty Coalition on MLK Day, told the audience that President Bush was engaging in "a gross and excessive power grab" and "has been breaking the law repeatedly and persistently." The former vice president, apparently forgetting the record of his own running-mate, added that, "A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government." And just to make sure that everyone got the point, he claimed that, "The disrespect embodied in these apparent mass violations of the law is part of a larger pattern of seeming indifference to the Cons ution."
Forget for a moment that the person making these charges once claimed to have invented the Internet. Disregard his 1997 assertion that he and his wife, Tipper, were models for the main characters in Erich Segal's 1970 romance novel "Love Story" -- a claim Segal later discounted. Set aside that Gore told a Teamster's conference in Sept. 2000 that among "the lullabies I heard as child," was one with the words, "Look for the union label" -- even though the lyrics weren't written until 1975, for an International Ladies Garment Workers Union ad campaign -- when Gore was 27. Ignore Gore's March 3, 1997 artful denial that calls to contributors from his government office violated federal campaign rules when he declared that, "There is no controlling legal authority that says this was in violation of law."
Gore's vainglorious fabrications only emphasize his hypocrisy. He is, after all, the person who said of the scandal-tainted administration in which he served: "I think the ethical standards established in this White House have been the highest in the history of the White House."
But the most recent assault on the commander in chief, like those of many other members of his party in recent months, place us at risk in the midst of a war. As such, they are far more serious than the spiteful, mean-spirited racial taunts of Clinton or Nagin. Though all three politicians' rants were undoubtedly uttered for partisan purposes -- the former vice president's accusations of criminal behavior against Bush threaten serious damage. It's a pattern of speech that is becoming increasingly prevalent in the Democrat party, potentially destructive to the morale of our Armed Forces and inherently dangerous for the American people.
Late last year, Sen. Richard, " " Durbin, D-Ill., likened the actions of U.S. military personnel to those of Stalin, Hitler and Cambodia's Pol Pot. Just a few weeks ago, Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam Wars said "no" when asked if he would serve today. He went on to discourage others from enlisting in our all-volunteer Armed Forces. Now, Al Gore has all but accused the commander in chief of violating the civil liberties of the American people he has sworn to protect and defend against a brutal, bloodthirsty enemy.
These are not mere "misstatements" in the midst of heated political debate and dissent. The "foot-in-mouth disease" -- so prevalent in Washington today -- may well prove terminal if the American people perceive that Democrats want to win the next election so badly that they are willing to lose the war we are fighting now.

^^oh I don't know, I think he did a pretty good job at "show casing" Mr. Gore.
And the some of the others.
Actually these old canards have been disproved long ago. These were things that the liberal.....errr.....conservative mainstream media pulled out of their rears and repeated ad nauseum until felons like North could repeat it and have a significant percentage of the population think it's actually true.
Nice try Ollie. Shouldn't you been in jail or somewhere?
Conservatives crucified Clinton for his "dishonesty," but hold Oliver North in high regard. Am I missing something?
Oh, that's right Ol' Ollie only illegally sold weapons. Clinton, , he got a blowjob.
in the Oval Office!!!!! While on the phone!!!!!
I have to hand it to Clinton, I know I couldn't have done that.
"hand it" may not be a good term. hmmmmmm!
But illegally selling arms -- that's patriotism at its best!!
It worked. , everyone does it. Just like having sex.
^^ Indeed, I just closed an arms deal last week.
And by the way, my wife and I practice oral contraception.
I ask for sex and she says "No"
Does planned parenthood know about this?
I also have to say that I love how Republicans get to decide who are the mouthpieces for the Democratic Party and for the Republican Party.
I'm deciding here and now that Pat Robertson is the voice/spokesman of the Republican Party -- and that his lunacy is the spirit of that party.
(I could certainly make a rather compelling argument that Pat Robertson on the Right is the equivalent of Michael Moore on the Left, but that Michael Moore has never intimated that political leaders be assassinated or that God smites those who take a different political view. It's just that the right-wing spin machine on talk radio has yet to demonize Robertson they way they have Moore, and accordingly, the sheep . . . errr, listeners haven't figured that out yet.)

The Democratic party will rise again!!!
From where they sit right now it would be impossible not to rise...up is the only direction.
But, I think it will take a total dissolution of the internal relationships between the whackoes (i.e. Kennedy, Pelosi, Dean, Reid, Clinton, etc...) and the true "Democrats" (i.e. Miller, Lieberman, and uh...hmmm...well, that about covers it.).
Whatever emerges, the Party of Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman won't be called Democrats. That name is toast.
Damn right and up is where we are going.
I am confident that the job can and will be done.
I don't care what you repub..err, libertarians say and your anti-patriotic babble isn't going to work any longer.
It's time to take the gloves off and start fighting back against the Rove propoganda and take this country back!!
Be afraid repu, err..libertarians....be very afraid indeed.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Lieberman is going to receive a primary challenge this year. He is more popular with Connecticut Republicans than Connecticut Democrats. It is unlikely that he will be defeated in the primary but I did read a quote that we would run as an independent if the liberal wing of the party is successful in defeating him in the primary.
I would personally resist taking "Joementum" on. It's true he goes on Fox News and gives the right wing raw meat to roar over in the world of punditry but for the most part, he votes with the Dems.
Ollie chastising someone for unlawful activity is the pinnacle of irony.
Selling weapons for hostages as compared to selling nucleur secrets for campaign contributions?
GO yourself.
That's large and continuning campaign contributions,spread out over a few years, not just a one time deal. We're talking about Nucleur secrets
not just a quick Blow Job.
Kinda like giving bogus nuclear secrets to the Iranians which they are quickly able to correct and adapt to the real thing, no?
Ah Dan, the guy who delivered the plans told them they were flawed and
he would correct them for a price. Don't think the Iranians figured that
out by themselves.
Democrats rock baby!!!
^^Didn't you leave out a couple of words? Like: Democrats are on the rocks baby!!
who are the mouthpeices for the democratic party?
According to the Right, Michael Moore and Al Gore (among others). I lean to the political left, but neither Moore nor Gore speaks for me, and I don't know that rank-and-file Democrats believe that either man speaks for them, either. But Republicans choose to cast those guys as the mouthpieces for the Democratic party, largely, I think, because they are endeavoring to frighten moderates into believing that only views like Gore's and Moore's are embraced by the Democratic party.
I'm not a member of the Democratic party, because I don't believe in the party system. But I also don't think its cricket for the Right to choose who are the voices of both sides in the debate.
