Todd Epp, Rush Limbaugh is talking about you:
RUSH: I love this next story. Headline says it all, but there's some great quotes in here. "European Socialists Eager to Work With US Democrats." American Democrats are not smart enough to understand that this doesn't make them look good. They don't get it. In fact, John Kerry's presidential campaign pretty much said these are the people we must run our global tests by before we defend ourselves.
The story is from Oporto, Portugal. "European Socialists promised on Thursday to work to rebuild Europe's strategic alliance with the United States now that the Democrats control Congress after last month's elections. Socialist leaders attending a meeting of the European Socialist Party pledged that with the Democrats on the rise, strong ties could be renewed with the United States after years of cool relations with Republican President George W. Bush. Howard Dean, chairman of the national committee of the U.S. Democratic Party, is attending the two-day conference together with the leaders of leftist governments of several countries and party leaders from across Europe. 'We are not anti-American, we want the real America, your America,' former Danish Prime Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, president of the European Socialist Party, said in remarks directed at Dean. (Laughing.)
"'Europe needs an America that is back on track,' said Portuguese Socialist Prime Minister Jose Socrates, whose country is hosting the meeting. 'We need, today more than ever, to reinforce and renew the strategic alliance between the United States and Europe,' Socrates said. 'We know that a stronger Democratic Party is key for this to happen.' Socialists, or centre-left governments, currently hold or share power in just over half of Europe. ... Socrates said Dean's Democrats 'should know that they can count on European Socialists' for support."
Now, I know it's funny in its own right, but let's put it in perspective and in some context. The Democrats are doing everything they can here to fight their leftist image. To win the House they had to nominate a bunch of conservative Democrats to go out and talk about, "I love Jesus! Jesus is my man and I love God and I am pro-life, and I also love my guns, bang, bang." These guys go out there and get elected as conservative Democrats, all for the purpose of securing leadership positions for these far leftists that run the House on the Democrat side.
So the Democrats are trying to fight their leftish image by claiming to be church going, troop supporting, economic conservatives and their party chairman flies off to Europe to attend a socialist convention, where the socialists are happy. "Finally we can work with America again. We're eager to work with the real America." Socialist America, via US Democrats. Sort of a mixed message, isn't it? I mean, when you put these blue dogs, the conservative Democrats up to run for office as conservative Democrats and then after you secure them, run off and have tea or maybe read a little Karl Marx with western European socialists.
