      Gotta love Fox liberals/Democrats. They usually fall into one of two categories:

      1) Tepid defense of Democratic policies/politicians and rarely going after the other side.

      2) Declaring themselves liberal and/or Democratic while actually being fully hostile to both.

      If centrist moderate democrats are against this, what exactly do they want?

      Or, are they opposed to the process? A major criticism from the left about the democrats has been how they aren't being forceful enough to get this thing passed. So now by exploring all the options available to them, supposedly democrats are upset because of a potentially ugly process? It's such horse-Scheiße!

      Fred Phelps (pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church, the "God Hates Fags" people) also claims to be a Democrat. The rest of us Democrats want nothing to do with him OR serial liars like Peter Johnson, Jr.

      (Interesting name - this guy's first and last names are BOTH synonyms for a certain portion of the male anatomy. Do you think he made that name up???)

            I look forward to seeing Johnson team up with Pat Caddell to really hold the Fox regulars' feet to the fire. What a joke.

      In the 80's he was a speach writer for Mario Cuomo and maybe David Dinkins. Now he works for a small law firm founded by his father that seems to reproesent a lot of insurance companies.

      prescription for truth makes him sound like a doctor. He also served in government under pataki who is a republican and owns a wall street firm. I seriously doubt he is a democrat.
