She doesn't have anything better to do as Senator?

But the most disturbing affiliation between the Democratic leadership and the radical left was reported last week by Congress Daily. They reported that Senator Minority Leader Harry Reid "has worked closely with liberal internet community sites like DailyKos.com and his office is "in near daily contact with Kos."

To illustrate what DailyKos.com stands for and who they represent, here's what the founder and head of the site had to say about the four Americans who were brutally murdered on the streets of Fallujah, Iraq, before their bodies were dismembered and dragged through the streets: "I feel nothing over the death of mercenaries [sic]. They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. [Expletive] them."

In addition to mercilessly attacking President Reagan the day he passed away, the DailyKos also claims that "the French are right," calls the people who work at the Pentagon "idiots," labels Colin Powell "a liar," and describes the President as "a moron." The site also claims "there is no such thing as partial birth abortion." And when referring to casualties in Iraq, the site charges that "the American people don't seem to care anymore."

The fact that Senator Reid's office would even casually associate with this group is extremely disturbing, but the fact that his office "is in near daily contact" with this group is utterly reprehensible. The angry liberal left has officially taken over the Democratic Party. Their leadership has waved the white flag and surrendered the party to the most hateful, vitriolic, and extremist political elements in the country. So as the Democrats continue to do everything in their power to obstruct the President's agenda at every turn, they are being driven by a clear agenda. Their orders have been handed down by the extreme liberal special interest groups, and the Democratic leadership is obeying by marching in lockstep.

With warmest best wishes,
Elizabeth Dole

Playing the victim card again, I see.

Worry about the deficit, Senator. Or the fact your own party thinks you're terrible for the role of RSCC.

:lol :lol

Well...Kos kinda has a point. But it's good to know that the conservatives apparently approve of these *ahem* "private contractors" doing the military's job for a healthy profit. The only Americans that should be in Iraq right now are military, people flying their on their own to try to make some cash should not be admired or treated as bonafide heroes.

When I saw the title, I thought to myself "I bet they're going to bring up Kos' mercenary quote again." I award myself a cookie.

I wish. Then maybe I could actually respect them.

I agree! They've been rolling over and playing dead in response to the Republicans for years now.

 

[AssMan]

I blame the elite, liberal media.

I'm considered a conservative and I really don't have a problem with what DailyKos says. I like the fact that Dole is horrified that they call Bush a "moron".

... Doesn't everyone call Bush a moron?

You omitted the first part of her letter, which I think one particular paragraph is worth noting (I bolded the points of interest here):

In March MoveOn.org hosted a rally that was attended by several Democratic Senators, including Hillary Clinton, Robert Byrd, Deputy Minority Leader Richard Durbin, and of course Minority Leader Harry Reid. Not long after the rally, MoveOn.org spent millions of liberal dollars to buy television ads to distort the debate over The President's judicial nominees. They were joined in this endeavor by People for the American Way, the left-wing activist group whose agenda includes fighting against prayer-in-schools, opposing the ability to display the Ten Commandments in schools and public spaces, and protecting the right to desecrate the American flag.

1. "The Right" has done far more distorting of the situation concerning judicial nominees, which while that does not excuse any distorting by MoveOn's behalf (which I'd have to see and review the ads myself since I'm not familiar with them), the far more pressing concern I have is the administration's insistence that Democrats are treading new ground by opposing a small minority of Bush's appointees, and attempting to proclaim that an "up or down vote" is somehow a Consitutional assurance, when it's not. This isn't exclusive to the "Left".

2. Prayer has no place in public school nor do the Ten Commandments (save for applicable courses, such as religion courses at a public university). Senator Dole and co., please sink this much into your dense skulls: We are not all Christians, nor are we all believers in higher powers. There needs to be, with good reason, a strong, distinct seperation of church and state, not the least of which is, so you don't go trampling on the minorities' civil rights. I give a hearty "Fuck you" to anyone that dares to impose their religious beliefs on me. The GAF equivalent would be having Tom Cruise dictate what you can do.

Moreover, I hate this "the Left" label. Under such terminology, we have a Far Right administration. So what's to the "Left" of "Far Right"? Far left, left, center, and right. Please go find another canvas to paint.

EDIT: Just visited her website (http://dole.senate.gov/) and it all makes sense. It's like a spitting image of Bush over there.
