Forgive me as I am late to the dance, and am going though the thread -- but I think the bolded section is clearly apparent.   Liberal democrat?   I am guessing no.  



Well I am a Liberal and a registered Democrat.  Although frankly I'm only a registered Democrat so I can vote in their primaries, since there is no viable Federalist party or old school Democratic-Republican party.


Maybe not an out and out stereotypical Liberal or Democrat but both do apply.

I'm not really familiar with all their views.  Having perused the provided website, I espouse some of their views others not.

BTW, ****knuckle, you still haven't answered my question with a yes or no answer.  You think you can manage one anytime in the next ****ing millenium, Nick?  Or are you just a smarmy little cocksmoker who thinks his IQ is about 80 points higher than it really is?

Then you really aren't a liberal democrat -- why make the distinction when moderate or Democrat would suffice?   Is it just to get into a semantics debate on the commentary made about "all" liberal democrats?

CAP was launched for the mission of electing Hillary, it was full of Clintonistas. Now its no different than many other Soros-funded wacko groups, its more like an umbrella to many of them.

The liberal democrat thinktank:

http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2006/08/katrina_common_good.html/katrina_report.pdf

I think MSB's point has been made.  You can continue to insist that you are indeed a liberal democrat (even though you are unfamiliar with the ramblings of this political designation's leadership), and you do not politicize tragedies, but it is a weak argument on semantics.   

12 pages and counting worth.

Nothing in the definition of either "Liberal" or "Democrat" that even suggests that to be a definitive Liberal and/or Democrat one must be familiar with and embrace "the ramblings of this political designation's supposed leadership."  Well, perhaps more so with the term "Democrat" but not "Liberal" which was the focus of Bugs' original thoughtless generalization.

Again -- you can continue to live in a cave (not familiar with John Podesta at all?  really? - hell as much as I try to block out the Clinton years, they keep slapping us in the face, rather hard to accomplish but atta boy for claiming you have), but ignorance of your party's political ramblings is hardly a defense. 

Please do tell who you believe the leadership is of the liberal democrats.

Nope, no real familiarity with John Podesta.  I'm sure I can google him, find out what he's been up to, but haven't paid any attention to him.

So in order to recall the Clinton years one must be intricately familiar with the rhetoric of John Podesta?

Honestly I really don't believe there is any definitive leadership.

So speaketh the King of Denial, Nick the Stupid.

ETA: If you really expect us to believe that you don't know about Podesta, you're 1--expecting us to be the most gullible and/or stupid people on earth, 2--in no position to lecture anyone about anything regarding politics, particularly liberalism.

IOW, until you come correct, STFU.

1) You have no idea who John Podesta is -- how old are you? 

2) You have no idea who John Podesta is, yet claim there isn't any definitive leadership? 

Wow.

Of course you do--ignorance is bliss, which puts you in permanent ecstasy.

So are you just gonna keep tapdancing around the question, or will you answer it?

He has no idea who Podesta is.  This boy is either 20 years old, or obscenely ignorant of all things political.     I am glad he is amused, but really not as amused as we are.  

Oh it is enjoyable when the youngsters try to play grownup.

Excuse you, I know who the man iswas, I don't follow his political exploits, I don't care to, and when to comes down to it the subject of John Podesta is irrelevant.

I'm sure you were hoping we'd have that in common, but that is your malfunction, not mine.

Sorry to disappoint.

I'm inclined to label someone as "stupid," "prejudiced,"  and "too narrow minded" for actually believing my MO was to prompt "falling at my feet to marvel at the profundity of my wisdom."
