Finally Some democrats get it right!

There is hope for the dems after all

Published on January 15, 2005 By Moderateman In Politics

The state of georgia is showing some common sense in the democratic party at last!

The have 81 democrats in the state legislature and 40 of them have broken ties with what they call A party that NO LONGER REPRESENTS what the democratic party use to stand for.

Altho they remain democrats they have formed a voting block of there own more in tune with the traditions of america.

They say they will no longer be voting party lines and will make up there own minds about what is best for the great state of georgia, and her peoples..

I can say that this pleases me to no end, as finally some democrats are starting to think things thru and see how out of touch
with mainstream america the democratic party has gone.
This voting block of almost 1/2 the georgia legislature {democratic wing} sees the writing on the wall for the present democratic party, AND they do not like it at all, which was the main factor in them parting ways with the luny left.

This bodes well for democrats if more of the party does the same thing... leaving behind the lunitics that seem to run the party now.

We can only hope the {dems} siezes this time to break ranks with the crazies and become what they once were a party for the people and not the representative of the lunatic fringe.

I assume with the mandate the republicans got this last election cycle has smacked some sense in A FEW dems.

Now we will see if other dems can suck it up enough to break with the crazies in the democratic wing to force the dems to moderate the insane views and policies that they now eshew.

Really, doctor. Reading comprehension, some common sense and a little bit of mathematical skills might do you some good. Judging that the early-mid 90's are now a decade gone, it would be at least 2013 before a terrorist attack if we used mid 90's and today as the ammount of time between terror attacks. I believe whoman said 2009. That doesn't sound like a decade away. Hmm.. .well using my (apparently very advanced compared to yours) duduction skills, I realize whoman must have been refering to the distance between the first attack on the WTC and the second attack on the WTC as the expected time between each terror attack.

as this is a PRIME example of how the left twists facts and other things to suit the perverse way of thinking , It does not call for any other comment..

I just LOVE the way you lefties connect facts.. if it happened in deleware and des monies it will happen in denmark because it starts with a d too.

If it happen in 1700 then 1800 the 1900 then 2000 IT cannot possibly happen BEFORE 3000, Thats why I left the democratic party becaue you all have become so cynical and dense.

Where did I twist anything when refering to Whoman's remark?

Hmmm.. well the only thing that comes to mind when I see this is that these 40 democrats want to go back to the time when the democrat party represented the racist southerner. That was oh... I don't know, possibly back before desegregation. Now, that demographic has been catered to by the republican party.

I think this qualifies as twisting...........

let me suggest reading comprehension. moderateman praised bush because there have been no acts of foreign terror on american soil since 2001, when in actuality the last one previous was the other attack on the towers. it brings up the story of the tiger bell for the people in the jungle who thought that ringing a bell would keep tigers away because whenever they ring the bell, the tigers stay away. it doesn't say anything about how rare a tiger attack is nor an attack on american soil.

Not for want of trying. Several were foiled, and others that were planned did not come off. Mostly due to the fact of the response to 9-11.

ANd it is apparent after Somalia in 93, that OBL was emboldened. And now just a craven coward. You can deny all the empirical evidence you want, but MM's statement has more truth than your omission of evidence support him would have others believe.

Better check your sources. That WAS a response by Whoman.

so you think proposing $58billion for fixing the traffic/pollution problem in atl by installing mass transit monorails is a good idea or it is a good idea that it was scrapped? I mean the r's in ga think that adding new roads in ga will solve traffic. (i guess they want to add a lane of highway all the way to the ocean) building new lanes just compounds existing traffic and creates more pollution where as monorails wouldn't interfere with existing traffic, cut it in half, and clean up the pollution as a result. and these traitors to the d party like zell seem to care more about talking to people and making people feel good instead of doing something about a problem and creating an environment where people know they feel good. good job moderateman.

This administration has a poor record of foiling plots, especially compared to the Clinton administration.
Bush Sr:
1992 1 successful plot, 0 foiled
Clinton:
1993: 3 successful plots, 5 foiled plots (interesting to not that two of the three successful plots were within 2 months of his inauguration including the first attack on the twin towers, which Clinton took alot of heat for doing little to foil only a month into his presidency)
1994: 3 successful plots, 4 foiled plots (including plots to assisinate the Pope, and President Clinton)
1995: 1 successful plot, 1 foiled plot
1996: 1 successful plot
1997: no major Al-Quaida plots (must have been the frustration)
1998: 2 successful plots (the infamous attacks on African embassies)
1999: 1 foiled plot (to bomb LAX)
2000: 1 successful plot (USS Cole), 2 foiled plots (including the millenium celebration plot)
Clinton track record: 11 success, 12 foiled
W. Bush
2001: 2 successful plots, 1 foiled
2002: 10 succesful plots, 1 foiled
2003: 1 successful plot, 2 foiled (2 attacks on Pakistani President Musharraf's motorcade, can't really call them foiled, just didn't succeed)
2004: 6 successful plots (more if you count insurgent actions in Iraq), none foiled
Bush track record: 19 successful plots, 4 foiled

Where is this administration's success in the war on terror?
