Washington, D.C. - Sen. Tom Harkin called Thursday for U.S. peacekeeping forces to be dispatched to Haiti, saying Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was elected with stronger voter support than President Bush.
"He's got more support there than Bush got in this country," said the Iowa Democrat in a conference call with Iowa reporters. "He's a legitimate, democratically elected president."

Bush is fortunate to have the enemies he has: Tom "Pile of Dung" Harkin and Fritz Kohn (d.b.a. Irishman John F. Kerry), the most liberal Senator in the US Congress.

You have to wonder if an a-hole like Harkin is aware of what would probably happen to him if he were a Haitian.

Tom Harkin, coat holder is about all you're qualified for.

Class act, with that " Jimmy Carter like" nastiness.

The misery of the Haitian people is a direct result of the despotic intervention of Bill Clinton in their affairs, earlier. It was Clinton who ran off the Conservative Government of General Cedras, which had originally thrown out the Marxist demagogue, Aristide. (See
President Clinton & The Abuse Of Power.)
Harkin is showing a side of himself, which might enable Iowans to get rid of him, the next time out. (That is if Karl Rove is kept out of Republican affairs there.)

Harkin, once again, showing there isn't a socialist dictator he doesn't like. Surprised he didn't claim Aristide should come here and replace Bush.

Harkin backed Dean for the Dem primay.
He isn't exactly a choice judge of character now is he.

"He's got more support there than Bush got in this country," said the Iowa Democrat in a conference call with Iowa reporters. "He's a legitimate, democratically elected president." Yeah? How about Clinton pal, who never got over 50% of the vote.....

This election isn't going to be over when it is over (sorry Yogi). The real party of divisiveness and wedge issues will see to that.

President Bush received fewer than half the votes cast in the 2000 presidential election. So did Gore.

We have a moral obligation to step in for Haitians but stopping the Iraqi people being tortured was not a moral obligation.
Does this Senator not know how the electoral college works?
And remember, this is the guy who endorsed Dean in his home state and Dean was slaughtered.
