CNN Situation Room: Gary Hart going to rip into wimpy Dems

[RSchewe]

After the break...

[ramapo]

1. Can't think of a more deserving bunch

I've about written off the whole bunch as useless.

[txaslftist]

12. Ummmmm. Republicans? Neocons? Serial Killers?

Just trying to help.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. That ought to be very interesting. Keep us posted?

[derby378]

3. Howard Dean needs to come down to Camp Casey

Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the corporatist Dems on the Hill?!

[RSchewe]

4. Should be interesting

[RSchewe]

6. Looks like it is being used as a tease...

they are going to say coming up next ...10 times!

[ripple]

5. Where the hell has he been?

I haven't seen or heard anything out of Gary Hart for years, other than a blip or two in the news. Too bad I'm at work and can't watch it!

[katsy]

7. This isn't the time or place to do that.

I'm the 1st one to take issue with my party when I see them wimping out or selling out... but I don't have the "ears" of America or the luxury of appearing on msm to voice my opinion.

If I did, I still wouldn't do it NOW!

bush* polls are falling.

Shouldn't someone be out there PRAISING the Dems on issues that resonate with the public?

We have some dinos in our party and I like spanking them. But not publicly.

Why reinforce gop bullshit about the Dems?

EDITED TO STATE: I love you Gary. But STFU and send the party a memo.

[txaslftist]

14. I'm with you, katsy.

United we don't get the shit kicked out of us.

[katsy]

17. Unity...

Our Dem leaders and "pundits" haven't picked up on that concept yet.

[jokerman93]

8. Dems?

I swear, in all the commotion, I forgot the Democratic leadership even existed. Days go by and I'm thinking it's just the Neocon goons vs. America.

Then I remember there's actually a Democratic leadership out there somewhere.

(Conyers notwithstanding)

[Al-CIAda]

21. I am afraid you are right.

:thumbsup:

[mmonk]

24. Yep

The nation and Conyers take on the administration. Dem leaders comfortably asleep.

[jokerman93]

29. Yep

Makes you wonder if any of them are even following the news these days. What on earth could this deafening silence from the Dem leadership really be about? I don't buy the lame accusation that "they're spineless". That's too facile and ad hominem. Whatever reasons there are for this appalling failure of leadership to stand up and declare opposition to Bush's insane progressively more self-destructive policies must be far more complex than that.

But what IS going on? Inquiring minds want to know!

9. If Hart doesn't trash Dems in DU fashion, will he be called a wimp?

[RSchewe]

10. He has actually already released an article in a newspaper today

From what I hear it is pretty tough. I should read it now that I mention it.

[RSchewe]

11. Here is the article...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/23/AR2005082301178.html

[montanacowboy]

15. WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bless you Gary Hart for having the courage to say what is right - that message is right on the money -

If we do not get a progressive Dem to run in 2008, he is exactly right, we will NOT win through default..

Must read for everyone.

[txaslftist]

16. Nice article.

Ought to be it's own post.

[txaslftist]

13. Oh you know he will.

That was a rhetorical question, wan't it?

[oasis]

18. Some folks on DU are pretty tough on Kerry, Hillary and Joe Biden.

Hart would be hard pressed to match their harsh language.

[Larkspur]

19. Keep us cube rats posted on what Hart says

I'm sure Lieberman will rebuke Hart for being soft on national security and giving aid and comfort to terrorists. :sarcasm:

[RSchewe]

20. Did it already get shown or is it later. I hope they didn't dump it. n/t

[oasis]

22. Haven't seen it and Wolfie has stopped giving it a promo.

[RSchewe]

23. They finally mentioned it again

At least they are still going to show it. They made it seem like it was going to air hours ago. Oh well.

[oasis]

25. Wolfie says Hart has "harsh words" for Democrats.

:wow:

[RSchewe]

26. On now!

[DanCa]

27. There are days when its hard to be a pacifist. (nt)

[oasis]

28. Hart didn't say "Get out now". The wimpy bastard.

:sarcasm:
