DEMOCRATS THUNDER FROM THE LEFT.


Demand an End to Injustice and Racism, Restoration of Confidence


Argue Strongly that Elections have Consequences and Commit to Election Monitoring in 2006 and Every Election after that




Howard Duckman
Serious News Service, 9/5/2005

Wash. DC (SNS). The Democratic Party stated a stunning show of party unity today on the steps of the Capitol. Framed by the steps and columns of that venerable building, all members of the Democratic congressional delegation stood as one while their leaders spoke.

Howard Dean, DNC Chairman, introduced the speakers and rallied the crowd of energetic hill staffers and local activists.

Dean introduced lead off speaker Hillary Clinton, D, NY whose first words were “Have you had enough of the bull shit!” The crowd roared its approval and cheered at every opportunity. Clinton was direct and stated “The marriage of politics and greed, policy and commercial interests, and bureaucracy and vendors must stop. We can never repeat New Orleans.”

Before introducing rumored presidential candidate Joe Biden, D, DE, Chairman Dean had a few sharp words for the Republicans. “We’ve sat on our hands the last three election cycles and watched huge leads disappear mysteriously. Enough! We will challenge every unfair election set up, we will monitor every precinct, we will make sure every vote is counted and every voter has the opportunity to exercise his or her franchise.” He went on, “Do you think New Orleans would have happened under President Gore? Do you think it would have happened under President Kerry? You know darn well it wouldn’t!” The crowd cheered wildly. This subject had been taboo at DNC for a while. There were shouts of “Remember Ohio” and “Cleland” Cleland”.

Dean then introduced Biden who said, “Not withstanding urgent matters of national security, collegiality and consensus are finished. There will be no more collaborating with the Republicans. They have become a threat to the general population.” Biden was stunned when Joe Lieberman, D, CT came on stage and put his arm around Biden’s shoulder. Lieberman shouted into the microphone, “We’re through, we’ve had enough, New Orleans! New Orleans!”

Pandemonium reigned as the crowd surged forward chanting “New Orleans! New Orleans!”

Dean came to the podium again. He stood between the two long term Democratic icons and sotto voce uttered, “Elections have consequences. All elections have to be free and fair. No more election fraud.”

With that the crowd broke into a rendition of “This Land is Your Land” while Dean, Biden, Liebenberg, and Clinton raised their hands together to the energized crowd.
