With the exception of Mike Gravel, I don't consider any of the rest of them to be Democrats (oh, Barack, how I wanted you to succeed). Kucinich may be an alien, but he's our alien.
Much hash has been made lately of the "death of so-called Conservatism". Anyone who believes such nonsense is as deluded as Karl Rove when he speaks of the "permanent Republican majority." I blurted this short missive out in response to an article on Salon.com (whose track record for delusion is worthy of note): College Republicans and the Millenial Generation I have faith that a new generation of right-wingers [are] waiting in the wings. After all, feel-good "Positive Self Image" schooling has profoundly damaged a generation of children, producing selfish, narcissistic little sociopaths whose lack of critical thinking skills combined with their inflated egos are primed to gravitate to the self-affirming message of modern "conservatism". We live in a nation that tolerates the shallow platitudes of charlatans like "doctor" Phil McGraw, and suffers the theatrics of smug, self-serving Ayn Rand freaks and fringe idiologues like Rush...

Pass it on: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/23/politics/animal/main4376842.shtml Fournier Is At It Again By Steve Benen (Political Animal) FOURNIER IS AT IT AGAIN.... The latest piece from Ron Fournier, the AP's Washington bureau chief and the man responsible for directing the wire service's coverage of the presidential campaign, on Joe Biden joining the Democratic ticket, is drawing a fair amount of attention this morning. More importantly, McCain campaign staffers are pushing it fairly aggressively to other reporters, in large part because it mirrors the Republican line with minimal variation. Who is Ron Fournier? http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Ron_Fournier Ron Fournier is the acting Washington bureau chief for Associated Press (AP). [1] He formerly served as the AP's chief political writer and subsequently as "online political editor".
