Do they really eat?

They are canibals Guido. They eat their own.

"That's the problem, you know, Republicans eat their own. ... Democrats
stand by their own until hell freezes over," said Lott, who was ousted as
Senate majority leader two years ago after making controversial race-based
comments at a birthday party for the late Strom Thurmond.

Eat our own? Hardly. Remove those that break the law or are unethical?
Indeed. Dems keep their child molesters, rapists, murderers and
criminals in office. Republicans clean their own house.

One should also note..that Democrats, the party of the Racist..keep
their Klu Klux Klan members in office for a very long time. Compare
lots feel good comments to an old man..to the fact that the leading
light of the DNC for a very very long time..KKK Byrd..was once the
Grand Kleagle of the KKK. And he is Still in office.

One should also note..that Clinton praised Fulbright, his one time
mentor, a serious racist who consistantly voted against the various
civil rights acts, as did most of the senior membership of the
Democratic Party.

Now as for praising old Senate warhorses...

"This isn't exactly making the ABC, CNN, NBC, or CBS newscasts, so let
me share something with you that happened on the floor of the U.S.
Senate about five days ago. West Virginia Democrat Robert Byrd, "The
Lion of the Senate", cast his 17,000th vote. Senators just love
honoring each other whenever an excuse arises, and this vote was no
exception. Senators rose to sing the praises of Robert Byrd.

When it came time for Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd to speak he
pulled out all the stops. To hear Dodd tell it, Robert Byrd was
Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln wrapped up in one U.S. Senator.

Byrd is a "man for all seasons." He said that Byrd would have been
right during the formation of this country, and that he would have
been "right during the great conflict of civil war in this nation."
Dodd went on to say that he couldn't think of a time in the history of
this nation when Robert Byrd wouldn't have been right for the country.

OK, let's review. Byrd was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Following
World War II Robert Byrd wrote of his hopes for a rebirth of the Klan
in his home state of West Virginia. In 1964 Byrd participated with
fellow Democrats in an effort to filibuster the Civil Rights Act.
Three years ago Byrd used the "N" word repeatedly in a Fox News
interview. A former KKK member filibustering the Civil Rights Act.
Was this a time when Robert Byrd was "right" for America?

Do you remember a year or so ago when another U.S. Senator was
delivering similar praise for another Senate war horse? In case your
attention span is running rather short right now, we're talking about
Senator Trent Lott and his speech at a birthday celebration for Strom
Thurmond. Lott said that if America had followed Strom Thurmond years
ago we wouldn't be in this mess we're in right now. Dodd said that
Byrd, a KKK member, would have been "right" during the civil war, a
war viewed by most as a war to free the slaves.

Now just how long did it take after Lott's comments about Thurmond for
all hell to break loose. Two days, thanks for asking. How long has it
been now since Christopher Dodd's remarks about Strom Thurmond? Five
days. Has there been any outrage expressed over Dodd's remarks?
None. So why not? Why isn't Senator Chris Dodd taking heat for
saying that a former KKK member would have been a dandy leader around
the time of the Civil War?

Oh come on now. You know the answer, don't you? Don't play dumb with
me. Trent Lott is a conservative Republican, and he's from the South.
Chris Dodd is a liberal Democrat, a good pal of Ted Kennedy, and he's
from the North. He's from the center of the Washington - New York -
Boston liberal stronghold.

It's all very simple. If the Democrats call for a war of words and
images against Trent Lott the liberal media is more than happy to
oblige. If the Republicans call for a similar reaction against Chris
Dodd for his remarks, the media will react with silence.

And we're told there is no liberal bias in the mainstream media.
Sure."

Snicker..or the Democrat rank and file..

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
