This whole thing is unbelievably lame, and pretty much seals my view that Democrats are toast in 2004, no matter what.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean by Democratic activist.

Clinton was a complete DLC-baby, corporate-sponsored to the bone.
(I'm being sarcastic about the 'biggest victory' - but the way some people have gotten excited about this is depressing. I occasionally fantasize about a world where the opposition party in the US hasn't been humbled to the point of bad playground humor.)

Funny, Kerry never seemed so angry before it polled well, fucker.

"Is it not true that during the eight years of the Clinton Presidency, more than a half-million Iraqis, mostly children, died from the US-backed and initiated UN sanctions? Where was the anger then, motherfuckers?"

miloauckerman-you could make that comparison to any administration. it is pointless to wonder why either party refuses to point the finger at itself. it would bring logic to the ridiculous partisan politics that we all know and love.

"Governor Dean?"
DEAN: We'll all keep our hands down on this one.
(LAUGHTER)
"John -- Senator Kerry? Yes or no?"
KERRY: No. But I am angry.
(APPLAUSE)
"Congressman Kucinich, yes or no?"
KUCINICH: No, but I think the murder of children ought to be decriminalized.
"Reverend Sharpton?"
SHARPTON: I grew up in the church. We didn't believe in that.
"OK. Senator Edwards?"
EDWARDS: Yes. But I would have voted against it had I any mind of my own.
"Senator Lieberman?"
LIEBERMAN: Well, you know, I have a reputation for giving unpopular answers in Democratic debates. I never blown up Iraquis, sorry.
"General Clark?"
CLARK: Never heard of it.
"Ambassador Braun?"
MOSELEY BRAUN: I'm not going to answer.
"And Governor Dean?"
DEAN: Yes. Yes, that did occur. But if you elect me, I will make sure that the media hears much less about it.
"Yes, all right."

It's that the Democratic Party has been cowed since 1972 or so. They run to the right - er, the center - and ignore their base and just can't stand on their own.

If Rep party HQ are anywhere near as full of how-dare-you hot air as you seem to be over this puerile but basically harmless little jape, that alone tells me maybe the Dems aren't quite toast after all.
