Do today's Democrat Politicans talk like Yesterdays Democrat Politicans?
Do they?
Great Orators of the Democratic Party

(By the way, this is an exact quote from a speech given by Army Gen'l. Omar Bradley in 1953, just a few years prior to JFK using it in his inaugural speech. JFK or his speech writers recognized a great quote, but none credited Bradley for one of the greatest patriotic quotes of all time - plagiarism, anyone?)

rick : I used to think the liberals took the Party over but think about this:
Liberlism is the same as conservatism, small gov, low taxes etc.....
I say many Socialists took over the Dem Party, Obama, Pelosi, Frank etc..... And socialist as we all know are mean, destructive people. Look at the words these 3 spew and look at the Policy's these 3 write.

“at levels consistent with Aaa ratings will invariably require fiscal adjustments of a magnitude that, in some cases, will test social cohesion.” Read the article I have as my source. Because of a couple reasons. 1) the bill is CLEARLY unconstitutional. The Federal government has no authority to mandate that ALL citizens of the USA purchase a particular good or service. It's Constitution 101... 2) This bill will put this country even FURTHER into debt. Barack Obamah has spent more than the evil George W. Bush in his entire two terms...And Obama just finished his first year! People don't understand that when you keep spending and spending and spending....the whole system falls apart. The money has to come from somewhere, in reality it comes from productivity. When the productivity has gone down so much (like it has with this economy) how can you justify spending more money than Bush, who had spend the most money in American history up until that point. We are spending too much money, that's the bottom line. Once we lose that Triple-A rating, this country is REALLY in trouble, because we won't be able to afford our debt.' Obama is killing this country, and he's lying to people telling them he's helping it. Don't let him fool you, he is a socialist tyrant. Look at his voting record, look at the people he surrounds himself with, listen to what he really says about "spreading the wealth" and a "single payer public option". Obama is dangerous to this country.

I think it's inconsistent to tell the American people that you oppose the war and, yet, you continue to vote to fund the war. Because every time you vote to fund the war, you're reauthorizing the war all over again.
This is a struggle for the soul of the Democratic Party, which in too many cases has become so corporate and identified with corporate interests that you can't tell the difference between Democrats and Republicans.
We have weapons of mass destruction we have to address here at home. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. Homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction. Unemployment is a weapon of mass destruction.

The quotes you attributed to Al Gore, Barrack Obama, and William Clinton were never said by them and you cannot provide a source for them. You either made them up or copied someone else who made them up.
How about these accurate quotes:
"They're our next-door neighbours and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska"
Sarah Palin
"My answer is bring them on."
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
"I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. "
"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?"
George W. Bush
"Go f*ck yourself."
Dick Cheey --to Sen. Patrick Leahy, during an angry exchange on the Senate floor
"Read my lips: no new taxes"
George HW Bush
"I am not a crook,"
Richard M. Nixon

No, the don't sound like that anymore.
And to be fair about JFK's quotes. He use to keep a journal that he would write famous quotes in. But that quote goes even further back.
JFK Library says….
http://www.jfklibrary.org/Historical+Resources/Arc...
However, the quote goes even further back, (you have to scroll down on this one), the author's name is Kahlil Gibran
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A12644048
I see no harm in anyone using a good quote.
Edit:
I'd like to through one in.
"this is the first time in my adult life i am truly proud of my country"
-michelle obama
One more edit. Today's liberals say one thing and use the Judicial system to pass far left ideologies. Look at Sotomayor.

Biden was guilty of plagiarism in the past. I guess all great Dems do it.
If Pelosi really said that, she should have her fake face smacked off.

How about Obama's "I inherited a bad economy" over and over and over.
Far cry from The Buck Stops Here.

No, democrats used to be the blue collar working class party who had way too much pride to ask for much.
Now they are the party of handouts, un-accountability and irresponsibility who thinks its a right to be taken care of by govt.
