Cong. James Moran On Fire at Virginia's 8th Congressional District Convention

"Un-American!" That's what he called the Republicans last Saturday to the welcoming audience of 400 Democrats who spent the day at an Alexandria school to debate resolutions and pick delegates to go to the national convention in Denver in August.

"Less than half of a percent of Americans have fought in Iraq while the rest of us are told to go out and spend," Cong. Moran thundered.

"We're being used as chumps! There should be no more torture! Close Guantanamo!"
The crowd roared.

The Republicans are "selfish, mean-spirited; an intolerant party!" he exclaimed to the choir. "They are arrogant bullies abroad...who have showed us eight years of ideological incompetence!"

Bush has "rewarded polluters...His appointees...have diminished our values. Now it's our time!" he sang. "We've lost our moral authority throughout the world. We can restore hope and belief in America!" The adorers leaped to their feet, loudly applauding.

Did you know the richest one percent of Americans receive 45 percent of the tax breaks? Cong. Moran said it is so on Saturday and all the other days that we endure this monstrosity of an administration.
