		<description>I statred to boycott CITGO over 4 years ago when people startied to realize that he was really &quot;Fidel Jr.&quot;  I&#039;m glad to see that others are finally realizing that he is a threat to the region and the US.  Chavez&#039;s government earns most of its cash through petro-dollars.  CITGO is the way Chavez gets US dollars to finance his government.  A governemtn that has for quite some time been pro-Hezbollah, pro-Hamas and working towards a marxist takeover of the Americas.  Please, tell everyone not to purchase CITGO products.</description>

		<description>Harkin&#039;s been a major league asshole for decades, witness his trip to Nicaragua with John F-ing Kerry to polish Dan Orgega&#039;s knob.  (For those of you in Rio Linda, that would be Dan Ortega, the communist.)

He&#039;s one of the Dems that likes to call everyone else a chickenhawk because he served in the military.  The guy is a damned Marxist, and you simply can&#039;t get to the left of him, no matter how far you go.

I guess the only reason we never hear from him is because he&#039;s from Iowa.  But he&#039;s a genuine swine.</description>

		<description>I believe that both Harkin, and Delahunt deserve credit. Instead of pandering, they have stood firm on their beliefs. So what if it is about as Un-American as you can get. At least they were honest.</description>

		<description>Let Pelosi, Rangel, Harkin, Delahunt, et al keep up with their &quot;defense&quot; of Bush and those in defense of Chavez&#039;s speech in their talks to the public. They&#039;ll just confuse the hell out of any potential voters this November.</description>

It is surprising how low the demo-rats selling point is. Glad he can empathize and feeeeeeeeeeel Hugo&#039;s pain.</description>

		<description>From the Hugh Hewett link:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Democrats are going to wake up on November 8 wondering why their promised landslide refused to materialize. Their echo chamber will assure them that it has to something to do with the wondrous evil genius of Karl Rove and a few crooked Diebold machines.

But the real reason is found in things like Bill Delahunt’s comments. The party has gotten into such a habit of Bush hatred, it can’t stop even for a minute and exhibit some responsible grown-up behavior. For what it’s worth, Delahunt is no Bill Moran or John Conyers. He’s a former prosecutor and firmly in the Democratic mainstream. More’s the pity.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

When Sen. Harkin took off his coat at the Minn. funeral, the next day I bet a liberal colleague that they&#039;d lose the MN seat. On election day I stayed up until 2a.m. to see if I&#039;d won :)

Some things are never appropriate and create defining moments. Yesterday was one of them, a really big one.

The rats are trying to leave the latrine but the slime is pulling them back. So they devided into two camps, the Harkin camp on the one side and the Pelosi one on the &#039;high road&#039;. They think we are utterly stupid. Above all they think the independents and sane Democrats are complete morons.

What they haven&#039;t realized yet, or maybe they have, is that Chavez&#039; speech was a unifier, just not for the Dems.

It elevated the WH to style and elegance and dropped the Chavez simpathizers into a deeper gutter. The decent Americans know this instinctively and no speech or commentary about it can alter that.

Fellow HOTAiRs, yesterday was BIG, as Mr. Bean would say, and as we are going to witness soon.</description>

		<description>Chavez&#039;s next speech:
&quot;Not only are we going to Caracas, Tom Harkin, but we&#039;re going to the Andes, Angel Falls, the Orinoco.  And we&#039;re going to Maracaibo, Barquisimeto, Valencia, Maracay, and Ciudad Guayana.   And then we&#039;re going to Washington DC to take back the White House and remove the sulfur smell!  Servpro, like it never even happened!  YAAAAAAAARGH!&quot;</description>

		<description>Let him talk. Let him talk. You can tell he&#039;s not for reelection this year, but his compadre Rangel and his comadre Pelosi are. You can tell that makes a difference. Harkin has no focus group or election to care about.
(I may be mistaken about Harkin running for re-election. Please correct me if I&#039;m wrong.)</description>
