Falling in the Chasm

Over the Edge Democrats

Power Line points out some interesting views regarding the current state of some Democrats and their left of center positions. First, this from Ann Coulter:

"The good news is: Liberals' anti-war hysteria seems to have run its course. I base this conclusion on Al Gore's lunatic anti-war speech last week. Gore always comes out swinging just as an issue is about to go south. He's the stereotypical white guy always clapping on the wrong beat. Gore switched from being a pro-defense Democrat to a lefty peacenik – just before the 9-11 attack. He grew a beard – just in time for an attack on the nation by fundamentalist Muslims. He endorsed Howard Dean – just as the orange-capped Deaniacs were punching themselves out. Gore even went out and got really fat – just before America officially gave up carbs. This guy is always leaping into the mosh pit at the precise moment the crowd parts. Mark my words: Now that good old Al has come lunging in, the anti-war movement is dead."

That pretty much sums up Al Gore. Now, for the rest of the best the Dems have to offer. Hugh Hewitt :

"Al Gore's screams and Ted Kennedy's characterization of Saddam's torture chambers as 'under new management, U.S. management,' are not aberrations. They are the norm of the leadership of the party that Kerry leads. When Kerry does not condemn such fevers, he endorses them. This is why he is Mr. Implausibility. A party that hates America so much that it cannot see the difference between the 9/11 terrorists and the liberators of Iraq cannot lead a nation in war. It could only hope to lead a nation in surrender."

Deacon of Powerline adds this:

Hugh also notes that the lunacy of Kennedy, Gore, and George Soros is hardly alien to Kerry. Rather Kerry, "has believed that lunacy in his bones, spoken it in nearly every speech, endorsed it with nearly every vote except those he has recently repudiated."

Thus, contrary to what creative pundits are imagining, Kerry's policies are not likely to resemble those of either Bush, and may not even resemble Clinton's. They may, instead, resemble those of Jimmy Carter.

What we have here is a group of Democrats who have went completely over the edge. This group has adopted policies that are hazardous to our national health. Hopefully voters will not be lured into the cult of suicide with the loons. That shouldn't happen if they consider the ranting lunacy for what it is and remember the track record of that peanut farmer from Georgia.
