"The Democratic Party hasn't got a clue about what Americans really want," "Today our national Democratic leaders look south and say, 'I see one-third of a nation and it can go to hell.' " "These nine candidates - the naive nine who are running for president - they're not really running for president," "They're running for the nomination. They're not trying to put together a consensus to win." "They're just taking that shrinking Democratic base, that's about 32 percent right now, and they are appealing to the most shrill and the most active and the loudest - what they're doing is they're pulling this party further and further to the left." "I find it hard to believe, but these naive nine have managed to combine the worst feature of the McGovern campaign--the president is a liar and we must have peace at any cost--with the worst feature of the Mondale campaign--watch your wallet, we're going to raise your taxes. George McGovern carried one state in 1972. Walter Mondale carried one state in 1984. Not exactly role models when it comes to how to get elected or, for that matter, how to run a country." Democrat Zell Miller quotes.

. They have been spinning lies for so long we can no longer trust anything they tell us. The whole idea behind the neofacist movement and their guru Strauss is to tell so many lies, so continuously, that the population becomes used to it. They lie like others breath. TP

I believe in God. I believe that the Bible was written through Divine inspiration. But I must admit that with this latest news event, I can truly understand that there is a very strong case for the theory or evolution. Leftist Liberals may be the missing link! guardian.co.uk Monkeys (democraps) Terrorize India Workers, Tourists Sunday November 2, 2003 8:01 PM NEW DELHI (AP) - In a capital city where cows roam the streets and elephants plod along in the bus lanes, it's no surprise to find government buildings overrun with monkeys *(democraps). But the officials who work there are fed up. They've been bitten, robbed and otherwise tormented by monkeys (democraps)* that ransack files, bring down power lines, screech at visitors and bang on office windows. *(Sounds just like a Democrap Convention!)* The Supreme Court has stepped in, decreeing that New Delhi should be a monkey (democrap) -free city after citizens filed a lawsuit demanding protection from the animals. *(It is high time that somebody protected us from them!)* Easier said than done. A past initiative to scare off the army of Rhesus macaques (democraps) with ultrahigh frequency loudspeakers didn't work. A plan to deport them to distant regions has stalled because local governments refused to have them. (I don't want them near me either!) There's an ape patrol of fierce-looking primates called langurs, led about on leashes by keepers. But whenever a langur looms, the pink-faced, two-foot-tall hooligans (democraps) simply move elsewhere on government grounds. ``Please do not feed the monkeys (democraps),'' implores a sign at Raisina Hill, the complex of colonnaded buildings that includes the president's residence, Parliament, and Cabinet offices. To no avail. Hindus believe that monkeys (democraps) are manifestations of the monkey god, Hanuman, and worshippers come to Raisina Hill every Tuesday handing out bananas. *(I think I saw this at a Hillary book signing.)* Last year the monkeys (democraps) made their presence felt by hanging from window ledges and screeching at reporters arriving for a news conference with visiting U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. *(This happens every week around Washington!)* ``It's a big problem, especially in the evening,'' says Defense Ministry spokesman Amitabha Chakrabarti. Monkeys (democraps) break into offices at night and paw through the files looking for food, he said. ``Those who work late hours have to be careful when it is dark.'' *(Need more be said?)* The city estimates at least 1,500 of New Delhi's more than 5,000 macaques (democraps) live on Raisina Hill. In the latest effort, a monkey (democrap) relocation initiative, 400 monkeys have been caught at Raisina Hill in the past year and moved to a holding area on the outskirts of New Delhi to await their return to forests in neighboring states, said Madan Thapliyal, a municipality spokesman. *(Now no state will be safe from them!)* But governments of those states have so far refused to take the furry exiles (democraps), saying they have more than enough of their own. *(I don't blame them one bit!)* Maneka Gandhi, daughter-in-law of the late Indian leader Indira Gandhi and an independent lawmaker in the lower house of India's Parliament, believes the monkeys (democraps) should be left in peace. Gandhi, an animal rights advocate, has already managed to halt a New Delhi program to spay and neuter stray dogs, saying it was cruel. (She has not met Bill or Ted!) She claims that captured macaques (democraps), despite their holiness to Hindus, have been given to laboratories for experimentation or have died in their holding area cages. They were ``relocated to monkey heaven,'' she said. *(Hmmmm....naaa, not a very nice thing to do even thought they do it to unborn babies.)* The government says more than 200 monkeys (democraps) have been relocated to Gandhi's parliamentary district about 125 miles east of New Delhi. Gandhi denies it. ``It's all rubbish,'' she said. ``Not one monkey (democraps) has been relocated to my constituency.'' *(Maybe she actually does know Bill and Ted!)* Atul K. Gupta, of the Wildlife Institute of India, says macaques (democraps) belong in forests (Sounds like a plan!), but deforestation and human settlement are driving them into cities in search of food. *(Can't we find some way to keep them out???)* Macaques (democraps) are crafty pickpockets, know how to open refrigerators, and brazenly snatch lunch pails from government workers, he said. (Not just government workers...they get into my pockets all the time!) ``They have learned the tricks of finding food in an urban environment.'' *(See what happens when you send them to Washington!)* The answer, he said, is to save the forests. Otherwise, he says, ``the problem will get worse.'' *(Yes! We agree!)*
