If we had ONE Democrat with Galloway's Guts, we'd have a president

[mopaul]

a president we could be proud of

1. seconded n/t

[SheepyMcSheepster]

4. Thirded!

:hi:

[Zenlitened]

2. I'd agree with that. That person may not be prez him- or herself...

... but we'd recapture the debate, or the framing, no question about it.

How about it, Dems? We have an opening for "Hero." Any takers?

[Justitia]

3. He'd never get past the "Caesar treatment" from his own party

Sorry, I'm pissed today with dems who are sharpening the knives for the repubs.

[Hugin]

7. Et Tu Brute?

I hear ya...

There's a whole industry among Dems for attacking Dems.

But, it was really started by the RWers who reach in
occasionally to keep the circular firing squad spinning.

5. you mean " BIG JOHN " turned into

"little johnny" and hid out from big bad georgie? is that what you are saying? i had respected kerry for the things he did in his past but when he conceded he became a coward to my way of thinking but then again i`m kind of old fashioned, i still judge people by what they do, not what they say....

6. Dean came close

But his "I have a scream" speech was the opening the media needed to knock him out.

[Demit]

10. You mean the speech that was manipulated by the media to knock him out.

The one that was fiddled with by suppressing the crowd noise before being broadcast. That's what you meant, I'm sure.

[Lannes]

12. You know what I meant

[theboss]

8. I think we are getting carried away a bit

Galloway is relatively small potatoes in his home country. He's basically the equivalent of a Maxine Waters. And she's not going to be president here.

[Lex]

11. Shows how starved we are for some truth here

laid out on the table, with no waffling.

9. I think I would love that too, however, I think we need to be careful

what we wish for. Have you ever watched "The Houe of Commons" on cspan? That's exactly the way they operate all the time! It's very common to have someone yelling at Blair that he's a LIER, or a coward, or dishonest, or a thousand other derogatory names. I know the first few times I watched, I was really surprised!!!

Now, I also agree, there's a false "respect" in the US House & Senate. I constantly mutter at my TV when I see 2 members, who obviously would like to scream obsenities at each other say things like "my honorable friend on the other side", or to the distinguished Senator from XXXX". We all know they don't mean a word of it.

I hate the hypocracy, but I don't know if I want constant screaming and name calling all the time either.

[DistressedAmerican]

13. To Paraphrase Whoopi "Kerry would be president if he had been willing

to put his balls on the table!"

Long Live The British Opposition! Punch The Wankers! Brilliant!
