Democrats and Muslims

"The Plan' may not work"

I found in, of all places, yesterday's  North Lake Tahoe Bonanza, a nice little article ['The Plan' may not work] .  The author, Jim Clark, has some insight into Party Pelosi, as in whence they came, and where they're headed.  I think you'll like it. He ends with these questions. How many of the new conservative Democrat legislators will tow the Pelosi line knowing that in two years they will have to run for reelection in conservative districts? How middle-of-the-road a course can she chart without alienating the far left wing of her party? Don't know yet. As one wag observed: "The only thing for sure is that in the future all the Capitol toilet seats will be in the down position . . . and that includes the men's rooms." First of all, I will argue that there are no "conservatives" among them. I mean, the word does mean something.  Sure, some tailored their campaigns to appeal to conservative voters, but anybody willing to run as a democrat is, at best, a charlatan.  Take Tom DeLay's replacement, Democrat Nick Lampson (who faced no opposition, save for a poorly promoted write-in candidate).  Lampson is not Muslim, but in true democrat party fashion is willing to pander. In 2002, less than 1 percent of Houston's Muslim community voted in the national election. That number grew to 8 percent in 2004 and 10 percent in 2006. That growing political clout did not go unnoticed in Lampson's camp this year. Oh goody.  I look forward to Islamo versions of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton getting their tentacles into the democratic party.  The question though, Nick, is will a district who elected Tom DeLay, and would have re-elected him, cotton to the politics of Islamo ass-licking?  Because, if not, you are one of those 2 year wonders Jim Clark alluded to.  The nexus of Muslimo politics in America, CAIR, is comprised of hard line Muslims, many of them terrorists themselves, or with terrorist connections. How nice.
