From the drudgereport...
Now Ms. Brazile has said some pretty shitty things in the past, so this took me completely ny surprise. Afterall, didn't the president reject Kyoto to increase the risk of hurricanes in hopes they would hit New Orleans and wipe the poor black population out? Isn't FEMA Bush's SS? To hear the "revrunds" Jackson and Sharpton speak, you'd swear the next State Dinner would include lynchings to the Marine Corps band in the Rose Garden following dinner. But, here... before our own eyes, a black polictical operative of the DNC from New Orleans praises our president? Whodathunkit? |
|
|
There is a significant subset of blacks who wish that Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakan and Naglin would just STFU. There's political gold to be mined by pandering to those voters, too. |
|
|
There are a BUNCH of Blacks that wish that. They wish Jesse, Al, and Louis would just go away. |

Brazille's one of those rare Democrats that has a clue. For instance, she had bright idea to suggest Democrats should act more interested in national defense, as Americans don't seem to trust them on that issue. Wasn't very well received by the Democrats. I suspect her putting aside crass opportunistic politics and reaching out to the president won't be appreciated, either.
|
|
I have heard Miss Brazille before, and she always came across to me as a typical kumbaya
<shrug> |
|
LIke you, I would suspect an agenda here from Ms. Brazille but I'll withold judgment. |
|
|
Part of me is skeptical, but she has offended the Dean wing of the DNC before by bucking the party line... So maybe this is a shred of honesty that occasionally slips out.
|
|
That's beacuse she's agreeing with a president who has become a socialist.
Not a big move on HER part! |
|
Welcome to the world of governing... how is the view from the cheap seats bull?
|
|
Well, monkeys are not fluing out of my butt, so the only logical conclusion I can draw is that she's got kickbacks coming from contracts in NO. I hate to be that cynical, but with the dems in full on attack mode on GWB for five full years, I have no other choice.

" after watching him speak from the heart " This phrase that she wrote is George Bush in a nutshell. This is why George Bush won two elections, and this is why the democrats as a whole have such a horribly difficult time figuring out why people love him, even after what they have decided are mistakes. Mistakes that the dems can't understand why they can't really capitalize on them. You see, George Bush speaks from the heart.
They are so used to double speak, hidden agenda's and subterfuge as the basic means of achieving their goals that they actually think that its normal and everyone is like them. He is not. Ms Brazille may have actually just figured this out, or perhaps the concept is so unique to her that she wrote of it as something special. Its not. I have seen the President speak in person and was less than 10 feet from him. He is genuine and does speak from the heart. He means it if he says it and he does not engage in subterfuge. Its not something that is in his personal make up. The only other politician I have seen that I remotely believed was as genuine is Dennis Kucinich, and while Dennis is also genuine and speaks from the heart, he has the disadvantage of being genuinely a socialist. GWB means what he says and says what he means and beats the dems every time because they truly can't fathom that simple concept. The American people however can and I hope his successor, whoever that is, knows it too. |
|
You are so right, partner. She has not moved at all - she is simply now agreeing with the New Deal agenda of our Commander-in-Chief. |
|
|
pretty sad when she agrees with the Prez.
If I were GWB, I would be rethinking my current 'position'. |
|
Ok. You guys obviously don't agree with the President's position and plan. So what do you suggest he do? Should the Federal government just say, "Fuck you New Orleans!" and not help out with rebuilding? |
|||||
|
Well, "Maybe" it's a start (?)
I don't know (Or care frankly) about re-building NO so much as I HOPE this is a chance to get "African-Americans" (Americans) to ditch the dim/lib slide-to-hell-and-poverty they've been on for so many years. The tradgedy of NO WASN'T the storm and those it affected (Primarily poor blacks) personally but the fact that after nearly 5 DECADES of near-unwavering support from the black community for the dims that SOOO many of them were still dependant on the gubmint for something as basic as their very survival in the face of a fu**ing weather system |
|
Liberals will crucify her for that remark alone. |
|
|
No, she doesn't. Had she even remotely had a clue, Ozone Al would now be in the White House as he would've won TN & beat Bush in 2000. |
|
|
Yes. What idiot would think to rebuild a city BELOW sea level??????? |
|
|
One-fourth of an entire nation - the Netherlands - lies below sea level. Seems to work just fine for them...
|
|
And tell me, how many hurricanes has the Netherlands had in the last 1000 years? |
|
|
While not technically a hurricane, mother nature is no joke.

A lot of people do not understand what New Orleans means to the nation. NO is a very important port city. I guess those 4 oil refineries should be bull dozered flat and not rebuilt. How about all the oil and natural gas that is produced in the area. I say lets stop all oil and gas production in La so that we can have a pretty view like the other states that does not allow oil production. This is a lot more than a free meal ticket for poor people. |

Whatever. I wonder if those of you who spout this drivel actually bother to turn your brain on before you type it. |
|
|
Well, the same could be said of you Rik. no offense intended, just different viewpoints. I voted for GWB twice. I am very dissapointed with most of his domestic agenda. Lack of border seurity, he has not vetoed a spending bill once in 2 terms, the Education bill, on and on. I do like his stance on foreign policy. I just wonder what is up with him on most domestic issues. I gotta say that his speech the other night in NO, sounded a lot like the Great Society of LBJ. I will wait to see the details worked out. |
||
|
No, actually it couldn't. |
|||
|
I got halfway through typing a reply, and decided to zap it and just say "fuck it". So here's the short version
GWB's domestic agenda sucks donkeyballs. His foriegn policies are slightly better. Don't rebuild New Orleans, or if they want to rebuild it, let 'em do it without my tax money. The POL infrastructure can be rebuilt elsewhere, its not like it HAS to be rebuilt in New Orleans. |

For those of you who think that those of us who have agreed with the "socialst" label are againnst rebuilding New Orleans, you are so totally missing the point.
Speaking for myself, yes New Orleans needs to be rebuilt, to a certain extent. It is an important port city. The historical areas should be saved if they can. Etc, etc, etc. A lot of people need a lot of help down there. What I am looking at is President Bush who sounds like LBJ and FDR roled into one. He is not talking about rebuilding New Orleans, he is talking about solving poverty there. That is what Ms. Brazille (who on Hannity a couple of weeks ago referred to Pres. Bush as a "terrorist") is agreeing with. How praytell does the President of the United States solve poverty in the Gulf Coast? That is what I am talking about. |
|
This is the easiest part as most of that part of the equation is already done. The poor folks were moved out and dispersed throughout the country. How many of them do you honestly think will be returning. NOLA will be rebuilt, but the slums won't. |
|
|
Slums aren't BUILT....trust me, if the same people DO return, or are replaced by other lowlifes, wherever they decide to live will BECOME a slum. |

<Sigh> I have so MANY problems w/what you've said, I don't EVEN know where to start.... But, mainly... WTF is up w/the "unconfirmed" BS? Village Voice Excerpt:
365gay.com Excerpt:
Wikipedia Excerpt:
Now, I'm not certain whether or not you are one of the "1% crowd" - BUT seems like we (queers) are in a wicked catch-22. IF we are BLATANT enough to be RECOGNIZED a Gay or lesbian or bi, (thereby being "confirmed" and our REAL numbers recognized) then we offend a lot of the 1%ers. BUT if we are DISCREET, like Miss Brazile TENDS to be, then we aren't REALLY "confirmed queers" and our numbers are low-balled by the 1%er crowd. If THAT is "speculation".... WTF is wrong w/you people? Now, why would a liberal NOT like Bush's VERY liberal speech? 'Bout every consertive I know is 1/2 agreeing and 1/2 pissed at him about it. |
||||
|
Okay, I'm getting a tad tired of being the last poster in a topic.
I mean, I'm just sayin'! |
|
What the hell is the 1% crowd?
Oh, and do lesbians have hanky codes? I could just go to a lesbian bar and watch the hankies. |
|
ugh, no more hanky codes...
That aside, Despite the fact that she clearly is not very in-touch with reality (liberal) Brazille is a smart woman and there will no doubt be a favor called in for this one.. (yes I am cynical) |
|
I don't confirm as lesbians until I see the video... in this case, I'll take your word
|
|
Yeah, right. She is SO smart she ran a campaign that had her candidate LOSING his own HOME state!!! Boy howdee, how SMART did she have to be to accomplish THAT???? |
|
|
Well, a hamburger wrapped in gold is still a hamburger. Some candidates do their darndest to lose despite the best efforts of their staff...
|
|
I'm guessing the run of the mill Dem will not like budget cuts to fund rebuilding NO. She may have a personal agenda that runs counter to the Dems. If so she'll be kicked to the curb.

You don't realize the magnitude of Gore losing in TN. Gore had NEVER lost an election in TN, ever! When he first ran for prez, the other candidates didn't even campaign here as they thought he was unbeatable, which he was then. His last Senate race, he had virtually NO opposition, he was that strong. Former Gov. Ned McWherter (sp?) went to Brazille's office with some concerns he had shortly before the election. McWherter was & is considered the father of the Dim Party in TN. Brazille wouldn't give him the time of day, made him cool his heels in the hall until he left! Brazille would fuck up a two-car funeral. Which is a good thing for gun owners, no doubt. |

She's obviously a deep-cover neocon plant. PRobably planted the C4 to blow up the levees herself.
|
|
Can't say that I blame you - BUT when she was YOUNGER (and thinner) she wasn't 1/2 bad.... I can't say much about the HAIR-do... but SHE wasn't bad at all.
Well... MY guess would be she's setting herself up to run Hitlery's campaign, and we ALL know Hitlery is ALREADY (claiming) to be moving toward the center. She's not gonna WANT a manager that is thought to be a left-wing nut. (It's what I'd do, only w/me, it'd be for really real - except I LIKE doing a DAMN good job, so I couldn't work for Hitlery, as I wouldn't want to (potentially) be responsible for her being elected). |
