"I Own the Party" Types Are Anti - Democratic Per Se

Not satisfied with punishing Hillary and possibly helping the neo cons
keep the U. S. quagmired in Iraq for 4 more years, Michael Moore is
now going after Obama's short list of vp choices, and, by the way he
is heading, eventually half the nat'l level Democrats.

How any practical democratic progressive POV can be fashioned to suit
MM's tunnel vision focus on punishing Dems for a symbolic vote that
the jingoistic media had convinced voters to believe mostly said
"Saddam isn't a nice guy" is beyond comprehension.

Like 9/11 itself, Dumbya's ultra moronic quagmire is a small event.
This was proven to all but the least politically astute last week by
the events in Georgia.

Spiraling fuel prices and the economy are much bigger issues.

The Democratic Party is "big tent." Consent isn't manufactured here
so, unlike the Repugs or the nazis, everyone doesn't always agree with
everyone else on every talking point.

Generally, single issue types are much like small party, anti-[small
d] democratic per se, useless at best but much more often counter
productive, even to their own pet causes.

Hillary wasn't the one with a withdrawal timetable, unlike
Obama. But Obama has withdrawn somewhat from his
withdrawal timetable. The generals will be consulted.
Heh. An easy out.

What would you expect? MM is an absolutist peacenik. That
makes him a 20%%-er. He even opposed the US efforts to join in
the quagmire in Yugoslavia (where nation-building still goes on).
But Monica forced the US to bomb there. And they say this is
a man's world. Some guys have to pay to get oral sex, other
guys just have to bomb furriners.

re: Barak oughta truly ask Hilllary to be his VP, and she oughta
graciously accept.

We Democrats seemingly need this symbolic unification.

Will Rogers: "I am not a member of an organized political party, I'm a
Democrat."

I recall when JFK put his primary rival LBJ on the ticket, and they
won.

US politics makes strange bedmates & cliches: poltics are not about
beanbag

It appears that McCain has surged in the polls,
he's nearly closed the gap.

Our hard-working donkeys have a lot of difficult cleaning-up of 8
years of elephant doo doo

Hillary & Barak shall adapt to the actual political circumstance, and
serve together for the good of all.

I think it could work reasonably well
