[Alas Babylon!]

As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

[mware]

Dean is still scheduled for a show???I thought he was cancelling all interviews for the time being.

[Alas Babylon!]

From MSNBC's web site:

EXCLUSIVE! Howard Dean, former Democratic governor of Vermont and presidential contender joins Tim Russert for the entire show

[Unknown Freeper]

Decisions decisions. Will I be able to stomach watching McAwful on the screen? I thought Dean was in communicado this weekend. Will Timmy throw softballs about felony burglary and about double standards of children of those in public office? Then there's King Abdullah. Will he tell what he really knows? And I see Reza Pahlavi, son of the Shah, will be on. Yes, the times, they are a changing.

Bump for later.

[DoctorMichael]

Usual scumbag, delusional BLACK caller on C-SPAN tried to say that Israelis were responsible for 911. (8:45 AM)

Previously: Nearly an hour with Grover Norquist. Good talk. Straight talk. The usual elderly, Roosevelt-worshipping, socialists called in to protest all of what Grover had to say.

[Miss Marple]

On "This Week," the person most supportive of the president will be King Abdullah. (Just thought I would offer an explanation for the line-up.)

[mware]

Pat Roberts is talking about the stash of documents found the other day.

[upchuck]

In the past I have bitched that the local stations run Fox News Sunday and MTP head to head @ 10am. Finally a Sunday where I won't bitch. I cannot image a whole hour with Dean spouting his communistic spew!

[mware]

Tony, just asked John D. Rockefeller IV if he had any information from anyone that the president lied about intelligence reports.

Rockefeller said no I have not.

Rockefeller was also asked about Kerry's commments, he said basically said, Kerry is running for president, his agenda is not the same as mine or Senator Roberts.

[Carolinamom]

Refreshing that a democrat....from West Virginia too!....would make those remarks.

[mware]

Tony is on the Pro-democracy rallies in Iran.

Sam Brownback says that Al Gore was the one who signed a pact with Russia allowing them to sell equipment for nuclear power to Iran.

I had forgotten that little tid bit.

[Alas Babylon!]

In other words, he was stating that Democrats will do ANYTHING--lie, make up stories--to become president. We knew that, of course, but I like it when they air publicly their dirty little secrets!

[mware]

HI Carolinamom,

I got a feeling that we are getting some good intelligence from the Ace of Diamonds.

I have noticed a change in the attacks from the Dems on the President in the last two days or so.

[Carolinamom]

After hearing Lieberman et al say such egregious things about President Bush, then seeing their smiles and handshaking w/him, I can't subscribe to the cynical "it's just politics" rationale that some do.

[Carolinamom]

I've noticed that too. They're really desparate these days trying to straddle so many fences at one time.

[codercpc]

Dean is stumbling, and mumbling alot. He is not coming off as the firebrand he has been advertised as.

Just as Edwards appearance on MTP a couple of months ago was weak and seemed to stop his campaign, this may be Deans undoing.

Gay marriage... I support full civil rights, if Canada recognizes it so should we, but... I don't think I would offer full "marriage" rights. (para phrased but very wishy washy)

Death penalty... I was against now I'm for because of Polly Klass? (again paraphrasing but also very wishy-washy)

Tax cuts.... Tim- "Isn't repealing the Bush tax-cuts actually a tax increase?" Dean- total dodge of that question, asking instead "wouldn't the American people rather have Health Care than another tax cut"?

Now onto his National Security.......

[Carolinamom]

desparate = desperate.......another cuppa coming up to refresh the ole brain!

[mware]

Below the fold,

Rev Al sueing for defamation of character.

Ralph Nader may run for president, get this ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET!!!

[Carolinamom]

Al Sharpton.......what character? Oh, yeah, HE's a character!

Go Nader Go!

[Bahbah]

Just saw a clip with Bob Graham calling the President a liar in so many words. I think all the dems should do this loudly and often. Many big holes shot in many feet.
