Yes, Virginia, or no? More UN Nitti-gritti. More pity politics. Plums much else.
p> THROES OF DESPERATION br> Re: Brendan Conway's A Test for "Fighting Dems" : /p> p>If James Webb is rejected by Virginia voters, it will have been Webb's courageous stand on racial preferences that did him in. Webb's first non-fiction book, Born Fighting , reveals that his ancestors in the south share the socio-economic status of African Americans from the region; hence, Webb's question, why racial preferences for all but whites who are presumed by the nation's elite to be rich? That is too much for those Democrats who make a profession out of their race; Jim has been reviled for his truth telling. More than the rejection of an anti-Iraq war hero, a Webb loss will demonstrate that pander politics remains the essence of the Democratic Party. br> -- William Perry Pendley br> Evergreen, Colorado /p> p> Wow! What an oxymoron! The party of Franklin D. Roosevelt would disown these loonies. Agree or disagree, Mr. Roosevelt's Democratic Party was one of ideas, service and determination. Today's democrats (they are not deserving of capitalization) are the party of surrender, victimhood and subservience to government. They have a generational solution to the almost complete lack of service performed by their ilk (remember Donna Shalala -- We can be glad our best and brightest did not serve in Vietnam) they run the only two or three veterans young enough not to be drooling in their stool softener. Mr. Dean, you are indeed in the insane throes of desperation to win an election. That's not democracy. Democracy somewhere must resonate with "for the people," not just for the Democrat Party. br> --
