President Bush's credibility is the top issue in the presidential campaign, more important than jobs, the economy and health care, now that a former administration official says the president didn't take the terrorism threat seriously enough before Sept. 11, 2001, one-time Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean said Wednesday.

This is it folks, as despicable as it sounds, THIS IS EXACTLY what the EVIL effin RATS were waiting for!! The bastards who murdered those civilians just gave the RATS an early Nov. gift! The Rats will stop at nothing, absolutely nothing to discredit our Military forces and president! The family members will be forced to hear, and watch those clips over and over again, and probably will be talked into going on the tube condemning W! MARK MY WORDS! Watch for a campaign ad on the murders to hit the tube soon!

Dean told a gathering of progressive Democrats that Bush failed to act on warnings from Richard Clarke, then Bush's counterterrorism chief, that al-Qaida posed a threat to the United States.

Whenever stories substitute the word "progressive" for "liberal" you know the article leans left.

If the Democrats pursue Dean's strategy, it will be political suicide.

A society that doesn't howl a wretched, dangerous fool like this off the public stage is not a healthy society.

Take heart. If dems are looking for people who have to be trained to knock on doors and make phone calls, we have nothing to fear.

"Dean, a former Vermont governor and harsh critic of the Iraq war, blamed Bush for the hundreds of U.S. soldiers killed and the thousands wounded in the Iraq war."


Hey Den, WHO do YOU blame for the THOUSANDS who die in the big US cities? Surely not THEIR Democratic Mayors?

You 15 minutes are up, please politely walk off the stage and back into oblivion!

Whenever I read 'progressive' I interpret it as 'Socialist'.
Google 'progressive caucus' and you can see what I mean. It's the Socialist caucus in congress.

Actually, this is a good thing. Kerry's campaign can't contain the message when they allow loose cannons to shoot from the lip.

If they think this is some double barreled assault without a downside, they are deceiving themselves. The more Dean yammers, the more Kerry will have to disavow him. The more Kerry has to disavow him, the more diluted Kerry's own message (whatever that may be) becomes.

It just points to a RAT campaign in disarray.

GO DEAN!! GIVE DUBYA HELL!!

Too late.
The media just may run the raw footage now.
Dean just gave them reason to.
If that happens, lock and load, because the reaction won't be a good one.
