According to the editorial, Joe Lieberman and Joe Biden are the only ones.

I detest Joe Biden, but I will give him credit ... in the Dem debates I've watched, he's the only one that has a cohesive thought about Iraq.

There has to be a few dems out there that aren't beholding to the moveon crowd. How about representitive Matheson (Utah rep).

Lieberman is no longer a Democrat. He's now in independent.

I've never heard a Democrat denounce move-on.org or daily kos. The Dems have benefited from these small minded groups and for some inexplicable reason have decided to pander to their agendas.

Matheson is my representative. I've never felt compelled to call his office for any reason, but I just may do that and ask him why I've never heard him come out against the move-on and daily kos extremists.

At the same time I'm still waiting to hear a Republican denounce Rush, or Rove, or even Fox News.

I never thought I'd see you do the zoob tactic of "yeah but the Utes..."

Why not just answer the question?

I agree that I haven't heard the Republicans denounce Rush or other right wing sources, but I don't listen to them either.

Total red herring. Are you sympathetic to one a leading American serviceman, a 4-star general and reputed honorable man, being referred to as a betrayer and a traitor ... being called a liar before he's even spoken?

Were you one of the ones with his pants in a twist over the purported war hero John Kerry being besmirched?

While I thought Kerry was a very poor choice for the nomination, I was really steamed by the Swift Boat tactics.

Maybe his wounds weren't as severe as some would require, but the fact remains he recieved multiple purple hearts for being wounded while in country.

Although old news, I can't let this opportunity pass without comparing his service with that of Bush or Cheney.

And frankly, my hat is off to Karl Rove for his ability to make Kerry look like a war coward while working for the election of two men who avoided service. You gotta hand it to him...

Although glib, that was my answer. You got your pets we got ours.

My point being that neither party is going to cricize its mouthpieces. And both will always play to their base.

Your base just happens to be wrong about everything
