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."

I think Tom Harkin habitually talks out of his A**.

"I'm saying Aristide got a higher percentage of the vote in Haiti than Bush got in this country."

Harkin got only 51.8% of the vote in 1996 and 54.2% in 2000.

Time for good folks of Iowa to throw this guy out into a pile of dung. He's disgraced his constituents, his State and his Office long enough. Time for him to go.

I must have missed the part where Dubya extolled the joys of necklacing his opponents with burning tires.

And I'm not going to refight the 2000 election--the result was what it was--but Tom Harkin, as a career politician and particularly as a former candidate himself, knows how a presidential election works. He knows better than to say what he said. Or he should.

The Dems are incredibly nasty. I guess being in the minority is really getting to them. I can't wait until we get 60 in the Senate for W's next four years.

I know there is good, decent people in Iowa, a farm state. How come they wind up with such a demogogue for a senator? Why can't they vote him out?

"He's a legitimate, democratically elected president."

There are lies and there are damned lies. This one is the latter.

Dems always cry about the Suprem Court decision after the election without saying the most important thing.......

The case was brought to the supreme court by Al Gore, not George Bush.

But, I thought it was Bush who is the "negative" campaigner?

Tom lives is Bermuda. Haiti is his neighborhood. I am still laughing at Tom clapping at the "I have a scream" speech.

Looks like Aristide's pals here are trying to help their buddy out:

Appearing at a news conference on Capitol Hill Friday, Feb. 27, 2004, left to right, Sen. Christopher Dodd D-Conn., Sen. Bob Graham D-Fla., and Sen. Tom Harkin D-Iowa, call for deployment in the 48 hours of a security force to 'minimize the loss of life and property desctruction' in Haiti.

Pardon me while I roll my eyes in disgust.

I didn't know that. Why or why does he continue to be re-elected?

Harkin is a nutcase.

Besides, he can't add. Bush did not get 1 more vote than Gore in front of the Supreme Court. He won 7-2.
