I received this in my email from Elizabeth Dole. The bottomline: Democratic leadership is becoming less and less relevant in today’s political climate. Enjoy!
Dear Friend,
I have watched with great interest and sometimes shock the ever developing closeness between some of the most radical, liberal groups in the country and the Democratic Party Leadership.
The Capitol Hill news publication “Roll Call” recently described the intimate collaborations that have occurred between the extreme liberal group “MoveOn.org” and the offices of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, and The Democratic National Party Chairman Howard Dean. The article described the frequent strategy sessions and conference calls between the Democratic Leadership offices and MoveOn.org. This is the same George Soros funded group that once opposed military action against Osama Bin Laden and the terrorists following 9/11, and whose website featured videos comparing President Bush to Hitler during the 2004 campaign.
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.
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.
