Reading some of the quotes that are coming from leaders on the left leaves me with raised eyebrows and a mouth agape. That they say them is dumbfounding, but that they believe these things is downright scary.
Here are a few examples:
"I hope the president recognizes that he has an obligation (to provide the document requested by the Senate minority)" - Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid
"They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party" - DNC Chairman Howard Dean
"There has never been an administration, I don't believe, in our history more intent upon consolidating and abusing power to further their own agenda," - NY Senator Hillary Clinton
"Republicans, I guess, can do that, because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives." - Dean
(Republicans are trying to) "rewrite the Constitution and reinvent reality" - Reid
"I think this guy (President Bush) is a loser." - Reid
"You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? Only if they had the hotel staff in here." - Dean
(Tom DeLay) "ought to go back to Houston where he can serve his jail sentence." - Dean
"I can tell you this: It's very hard to stop people who have no shame about what they're doing. It is very hard to tell people that they are making decisions that will undermine our checks and balances and constitutional system of government who don't care. It is very hard to stop people who have never been acquainted with the truth." - Clinton
Sadly, these are but a few recent quotes. Like a lot of you, I'm torn between being outraged by the shrill rants and encouraged by the obvious implosion of the left. They remind me of school yard taunts. No matter, the real truth is that people of ideas will trump those who can only jeer and tear down. Let's get on with ideas. See you tomorrow.
