Edited on Tue Sep-30-03 10:38 AM by protect freedom impe
Elected DEMs who are Bush enablers,

like all the spineless DEMs that gave Bush a blank check
to wage war ?


pink tutu democrats............



from bartcop.com Volume 1149 Sept 3 2003


-----------------

A Zimbabwe politician was quoted as saying that children should study this event closely for it shows that election fraud is not only a third world phenomenon...

1. Imagine that we read of an election occurring anywhere in the third world in which the self-declared winner was the son of the former prime minister and that former prime minister was himself the former head of that nation's secret police (CIA).

2. Imagine that the self-declared winner lost the popular vote but won based on some old colonial holdover (electoral college) from the nation's pre-democracy past.

3. Imagine that the self-declared winner's 'victory' turned on disputed votes cast in a province governed by his brother!

4. Imagine that the poorly drafted ballots of one district, a district heavily favoring the self-declared winner's opponent, led thousands of voters to vote for the wrong candidate.

5. Imagine that that members of that nation's most despised caste, fearing for their lives/livelihoods, turned out in record numbers to vote in near-universal opposition to the self-declared winner's candidacy.

6. Imagine that hundreds of members of that most- despised caste were intercepted on their way to the polls by state police operating under the authority of the self-declared winner's brother.

7. Imagine that six million people voted in the disputed province and that the self-declared winner's 'lead' was only 327 votes. Fewer, certainly, than the vote counting machines' margin of error.

8. Imagine that the self-declared winner and his political party opposed a more careful by-hand inspection and re-counting of the ballots in the disputed province or in its most hotly disputed district.

9. Imagine that the self-declared winner, himself a governor of a major province, had the worst human rights record of any province in his nation and actually led the nation in executions.

10. Imagine that a major campaign promise of the self-declared winner was to appoint like-minded human rights violators to lifetime positions on the high court of that nation.

None of us would deem such an election to be representative of anything other than the self-declared winner's will-to-power. All of us, I imagine, would wearily turn the page thinking that it was another sad tale of pitiful pre- or anti-democracy peoples in some strange elsewhere.


BUT the spineless elected DEMs just said & acted like 'oh well,
we're not going to raise a fuss and fight for the real election winner - Al Gore,
'we'll just go ass kiss Bush daily.' and let smirk call us by his
knickname he gives us'

1. Dude that pic rules!!!
I definately think you should be allowed to post that. I think maybe it'd be ok to ask you to mention what candidate you're affiliated with at least in your personal info, if you are routing for someone.

2. Let's take a chance.
as a moderator, long time member and hopefully
a thoughtful poster who loves quality and humor
in a nice mix welcomes some new rules that don't
censor thoughtful and factual posts in the appropriate
forums. I look forward to not reading duplicate
threads with one sentence each in them using
expletives and no substance.
I am really looking forward to seeing what the
majority of smart and creative thinkers on this
board can really do with the stories and opinions
out there.
I know you all are up to the challenge of doing
and being better than some of the disrupters
in here.

Let's take a chance and see if tighter rules can
improve the discourse and make this website THE
place to come for liberal opinion.

6. Please please please I beg you
come over to the 9:11 forum.

We have a person there who is trying to get into the guiness book of records for the largest number of deleted posts in one thread.
And it looks like he is going to make it.
But in the meantime, it makes for really lousy reading for the rest of us.

7. "Liberal opinion"?
To my knowledge, liberals are not in favor of wars and occupation of foriegn countries who have natural resources we covet. While I agree far more with the general comments I read here than those from any major news sites, I would not call all of them liberal. In the same manner, I do not think of all of the candidates for the Democratic nomination as being liberal. Those who in fact have liberal credentials are derided as "unelectable", but those who want to send more men to die in Iraq and spend more money on defense boondoggles are called the saviors of the party.

3. Maybe...
depends on how deep the ball is gets in our territory...right now they seem to have a first down on the 3 yd. line
..I mean Rush might be watching!! (OMG) or some might feel their particular candidate's 'strategy' is harmed by attacking the GOP...

Conversative people tend to what an 'elite' debate--the People can't be trusted to be civil

4. I have another pic of them that I'm not allowed to post on DU
It's at this link, but I have to add a disclaimer. Lieberman supporters will be offended, so don't go there if you think Lieberman or Gephard are anything other than neo-nazis and you would be offended at a picture portraying them as they are.

Do Not Click Here

5. thats a tame one.....
bartcop has had quite a few 'crtoons' a whole lot more
"shocking" than that one.


....but do you have a link to that recent political 'toon where
in the first frame there are 2 talking DEMs (donkeys) only
showing the top halves both complaining about Dean.

Then in the second frame the bottom halves are shown too -

spineless jellyfish.
