Can I get an Amen?
Amen ... and let's get a taller box for Daschle to stand on. He's coming off as "short" in stature ... ;)
Bye bye, Tiny Tom. Clear out your desk now so John Thune will have an easy time setting his stuff up!
It was interesting to hear Zell Miller last night on Hardball reference Max Cleland, saying "You can‘t vote with Tom Daschle 85 percent of the time and be expected to be able to be reelected in Georgia."
How can this guy possibly sell his recent record to South Dakotans this go around?
I haven't heard any comments on the comment made by Zell blaming Daschle for the delay in passing Homeland Security. This would validate his anger and the one reason for it. He told Chris Matthews that this was the issue that broke the camels back. No one is picking up on it.
Not only would this have added an excellent point to his speech, it would have, at the same time, given a good shot against Daschle's re-election campaign.
Amen.
But - Democrats are saddened to witness the partisan rancor engendered by an actual recitation of facts.
I think it was telling that Daschle did not sign the letter that Cleland delivered to Crawford.
Be assured that W. is going to drop in on SDak a few times in the next two months....it's a given..and don't be surprised if ole Aell just happens to be along for the ride..and "chooses" to make a few impromptu remarks to the local SD media..
Amen!!!!!
President Bush will give every bit of political currency he can muster, to John Thunes election campaign. Zell Miller probaly has had the travel plans to SD in his suit jacket for two mos. The icing on the cake in this election, and the death knell of the strangle hold on our Judges, rest with the defeat of Tom Daschle. It is about time that this dispicable politition gets his comeuppance.
Is there a list of those who did sign the letter Humpty Dumpty used in his Crawford high drama?
It would be so great to see that little quintessential smug elitist liberal Daschle thrown out on his can for his obstructionism like Cleland was last time...it would give real hope for the future of this nation.
Of course, just like Cleland and "What About Bob" Kerry, he won't really go away..."He's never gone" to quote Dr. Leo Marvin from his vacation home on Lake Winnepisauki (sic). They're still professional agitators...except their big mouths and bad ethics are far less damaging without a Senate vote available to them!
That was a veteran's only letter I believe. You know, Democrat veterans, the ones that really only allowed to speak. Like Frank ("You've got blood on your hands NRA fax after Oklahoma City") Lautenberg. I don't think Dash-Hole served in the military.
There is a list somewhere. I believe only 9 signed it.
Amen..... and can I raise you with an Alleluha!
If Bush wins in November I'm gonna celebrate my @rs off but if Daschle loses they're gonna have to peel me off the ceiling too.
Oh, he can do it alright, but only if the national GOP abandons Thune, which I don't think they will.
Bush and Zell Miller need to make trips to SD, and not just to Sioux Falls. When a campaign just sticks its toe barely across the border into Sioux Falls, it doesn't have as much impact. At least three stops: Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and somewhere else in eastern S.D. Cheney needs to hit Rapid City, too -- exploit the Wild West connection. Johnson and Herseth got entirely too many West River votes in the last two major races -- that just shouldn't be happening.
A couple of personal appearances would do more than $20 million in ads. People started just turning them off during the last election between Thune and Johnson. Lots of people in SD were so sick of the campaign that they hoped both guys could lose.
One of the many reasons that challenging Thune's loss two years ago would have been a mistake is that so many people were just glad to have the election over and the ads gone. TV time is cheap in places like SD, so many people think its a good buy, but it begins to backfire after a point.
Big-name feet on the ground are what are needed... I just can't imagine anything that would do more for the Bush agenda in the next term than dealing Daschle a loss, so the investment would be worth it.
