"I've been surprised [Bush] waited, but then I thought, well, politically, it probably doesn't make much sense to find [Saddam Hussein] just yet." Those were the words of Washington State Congressman Jim McDermott during a recent interview with KIRO radio in Seattle. He implied President Bush would have preferred to have waited until closer to the election to capture Saddam Hussein in an effort to score more political points with voters. He continued by saying, "There's too much by happenstance for it to be just a coincidental thing." Thus is the mentality of the liberal left in the United States of America.
This comes from a man nicknamed "Baghdad Jim." He was awarded this moniker because of remarks he made last year. One had President Bush misleading the American people" on the issue of Iraq. He was heavily criticized for that statement and even drew denigration from some in his own party. And while on a trip to Baghdad before hostilities started he stated that Saddam Hussein was trustworthy. Saddam Hussein? Trustworthy? How did this guy get elected?
The hate that has been instilled within the liberal left of this country; courtesy of the McAuliffe/Clinton regime is so far beyond the realm of acceptability it is maddening. Was it wrong to feel shorted after the 2000 election if you were a Gore/Lieberman supporter? Absolutely not. It was a close race and their candidate lost. It wouldnt have been normal for them not to feel cheated. It was the same way I felt when an inferior candidate in the man of Bill Clinton defeated George H. W. Bush, a man with a considerably more impressive resume. But until the moment when Clinton lied under oath I was willing to accept him as the president of the United States. Make no mistake, my disdain for Bill Clinton had nothing to do with him abusing his underlings sexually, it had everything to do with him breaking the law and violating his oath to uphold the US Constitution, two things he did when he perjured himself. He paid the price for it through his impeachment, thanks to those like US Rep. Henry Hyde who heeded the duties of his office. After that the respect I held for the man was replaced by a symbolic respect for the office of the presidency. But never did I possess the hatred in my heart for Bill Clinton that people like McDermott hold for George W. Bush today. And all this hatred coming from the tolerant left.
It needs to be pointed out that the win-at-all-costs tactics of Terry McAuliffe and his spin-minions nurtures the nucleolus of this infection. Guilty by association and by enabling them are those who placed him in the position he now holds, Bill and Hillary Clinton. He is their creation and just like Frankenstein when being chased by the frightened towns people, he is running amok. His win-at-all-cost arrogance is the platform and his chief tactic this time around is fostering the evil of hatred, hatred for another human being. Again, make no mistake; the hatred has moved on from being simply aimed at the policies of an administration, it is now targeting George W. Bush the man, husband and father. It is sickening.
In a way, should the unthinkable happen and Howard Dean win the presidency of the United States, I think I would be able to see a glimpse of sunshine during an otherwise category 5 hurricane and that glimpse of sunshine would be the demise of Terry McAuliffe and the Clinton DNC machine. Should the absurd happen I would hunker down inside my own political spider hole for four years solaced and nourished by the idea that McAuliffes days were through.
As for Jim McDermott, perhaps Washington States GOP Chairman Chris Vance said it best when he said, "Calling on [McDermott] to apologize is useless, but I call on other Democrats to let the public know if they agree with McDermott -- and Howard Dean, who recently said he thought it was possible that President Bush had advance knowledge about 9/11. The voters deserve to know if the entire Democratic Party believes in these sorts of bitter, paranoid conspiracy theories." Mr. McAuliffe? A comment sir?

George Bush has Osama waiting in one of those black secret space ships that make no noise. (The ones that hover around the state of Nevada, developed from the technology that the Gubbermint stole from those aliens that crashed at Roswell, NM)
We all know that when the time is right, Osama will be "captured". BUT we know the real truth!
Excuse me, my tinfoil hat is a bit wrinkled so the signals I am getting are slightly fuzzy.
Here's the best way to encourage 'Baghdad Jim' to contol the sewer main exiting from his face... Nethercutt For Senate
The left is running out of talking points that have even a distant relationship to the truth. They are left with the old standby "Bush is a moron" or "Bush is a liar" but neither one is finding much of an audience in mainstream America. If Ralph Nader runs on the Green Party line, Bush might pitch a 50 state shutout.
Viola!
After Saddam's capture: "Now that we found Saddam, this is an excellent opportunity to internationalize the situation in Iraq!
Maybe they can go back to the late term abortion issue.
Nah. There's no outrage. Voters don't mind.
Maybe gay marraige.
Nah. That ones a vote killer.
What's left? Womans rights?
Nah. Men would vote like never before. We'd even get the Black male vote on that one. They've had just about all they can handle, too.
Enviroment?
Nope. Too many land grabs and dictating. PETA has gone totally over the edge. ALF and ELF helped kill those issues.
I don't know. I think the left is in trouble. Not that I mind.
YES! Let's get busy and print up some posters for distribution in boutiques, head-shops, and franchise coffee houses from coast to coast: "Progressives! Vote Green! Nader/Kaczynski '04"
Do some of these writers search the dictionary for the most obscure word they can find and then write an article around it?
If he doesn't run, we could start a write in campain. LOL.
(I think that's what the wicked witch of DC is up to.)
The problem is Bill Clinton is not running against Bush for the presidency. So whatever Clinton's incompetence is not what the press is going to discuss.
This won't be about Clinton it will be about George Bush "What did he know and when did he know it".
Unlike the stupid inept dumb republicans, I am sure the Bushies are already figuring how to parry this attack. -tom
That was Bush getting his hair checked for lice. Wake up people!
