Is John Podesta on CRACK or SOMETHING?
He is constantly 'bouncing' up and down as he talks, its VERY annoying.
Summary of him:
1) Usual Dimocrap tactic (accuse opponent of your own 'dirty tricks'), saying "as usual the Republicans are just about attack, attack, attack, and smearing people and trying to undermine their credabitliy (in reference to Joe Wilson). -- Just like sKerry publishing that 'open letter to GWB in September saying they should 'get along' after a week of "he lied" all over the place.
2) Just like RUSH was talking about last week... shifted from "he will be gone becuase he broke the law" to "he should go because he is a political liabilty to the president because of these 'accusations" (of course supported by poll numbers offered by Russert)
If Mrs. Wilson nee-Plame works at hi level in the CIA WMD "department" you have to really really wonder what the heck that CIA WMD "department" does besides muck up things and create deadly distractions.
"CNN's Reliable Sources transcript will be posted in a few hours, here:"
Um shouldn't that be
"CNN's UnReliable Sources transcript will be posted in a few hours, here:"
After all there are truth in advertising laws and it is CNN
Of course they have different rules and ethics
but they never called him on it...earlier in the thread someone made a brilliant point- Wilson's Op Ed piece upon returning from Niger was the first breach of classified information....he should've brought that up.
Victimhood now? He and his lies NEEDED to be warred on, Cooper. Any "journalist" worth his salt should be doing just that. Unfortunately, we have saltless "reporters" who swallow the lies and don't report.
That pixelation of her face was spin -- propaganda. An obvious attempt to suggest to the gullible (may the gullible be no longer the gullible) that she is still undercover.
If Wilson's article violated the law, we will soon find out from Fitzgerald.
He did say that
I hope you are right...but in the meantime we should get some low level loudmouths asking that question.
If he did I did not hear it....especially when they were attacking McLellan's credibility.
As usual Miss Marple .. your post and explaining is better then my post
Actually, the Democrats do have clear ideas about these issues:
The Democrat Party Plan for Social Security Reform.
Deny that there's a problem.
The Democrat Party Plan for a National Energy Policy.
Raise the gasoline tax.
The Democrat Party Plan for Tax Reform.
Repeal the tax cuts, raise taxes on "the rich" (i.e. anyone making over $35k a year).
The Democrat Party Plan for Economic Development.
Raise taxes on "the rich," exercise eminent domain as much as possible, funnel federal dollars to core democrat constituencies, raise the minumum wage. Did I mention "raise taxes on the rich"?
The Democrat Party Plan for National Security and the War on Terror.
Get out of Iraq, give the UN veto power over US laws and polcies, negotiate with terrorists, end the WOT and seek criminal indictments on terrorists.
Tony Snow has been very good about covering this in his radio program. He should be coming up on Fox shortly, and we will see what he brings to the discussion.
I think you will see more of a push against the Rats next week.
I have been hearing some speculation, (specious or not) that Felt's daughter is allowing the outing in order to somehow cash in.
Kinda makes sense...
