I'd like to see the Dems stay on message this week, with the message being "Ashcroft leaving doesn't change the fundamental antagonism of this administraiton to free speech and civil rights."

You mean, laying the groundwork for a defeat in 2008?

Using the precedent of "pick the loser from a scandal-ridden Midwest Senate race"....

Good god, man. It's Alan Keyes.

Quick - file the secession papers.

I personally am not that excited about Ashcroft -- or anyone else in the Admin -- resigning. I think he's only going to appoint more wackily right-wing, don't tax but spend like hell, religious people so it's not a win. If (OK, when) he runs Powell off, there'll be a net loss.

No, nobody is that ill. That would be delusional. Acid level delusional.

Mental illness is an illness.

I'm sure everyone will mostly agree that you can trust me on this.

Not so fast. You voted for these waterheads. If they put Alan in, you have to move to a red state.

A) Did you recently post something other than a recipe?

B) I'm not fond of Ashcroft, nor have I read this fucking quote in or out of context.

C) So in answer to your question, My Festive Candied Yam, "I don't give a fuck one way or another"

I hope this proves responsive.

I think civil rights and free speech are wedge issues for the Rs - there are Rs who feel strongly on both sides of most issues Ashcroft has spoken on.

You voted for these waterheads.
And you voted for the party of Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore.

Et tu, Raoul?

You need to say "privacy" and "respect for property rights" not "civil rights" if you want to appeal to Rs.
