Democrats intensify Bush slams
By Donald Lambro THE WASHINGTON TIMES November 3, 2005
Democrats yesterday escalated their fiery attacks on President Bush's rationale for going to war by tying his decision to the indictment of a top administration aide in an aggressive political strategy that has energized the party's anti-war activist base. The day after Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada forced the Senate into a rare closed-door session to debate whether Mr. Bush manipulated intelligence information about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a pretext for war, he and other Democratic leaders stepped up their rhetoric and demands in a bid to drive the issue back into the news. Howard Dean, the Democratic National Committee chairman, whose ill-fated 2004 presidential campaign was fueled by opposition to the war, called on the White House and Vice President Dick Cheney to "answer questions about their roles in manipulating intelligence information to build support for the war, smearing opponents of the war and covering up that smear campaign." House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California and Mr. Reid also sent Mr. Bush a letter asking him to apologize for the actions by Mr. Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and any other officials who may have been involved in the CIA leak investigation. That investigation led to Mr. Libby's indictment for purportedly lying to the FBI and the grand jury. Mr. Libby said he is innocent of all the charges. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist returned fire yesterday, charging that Mr. Reid's tactical Senate ambush was "a political stunt that took us off what we need to be doing" about energy prices, deficit reduction and the economy.

(Hat tip to Zell Miller.)
You got that right. Hell, his latest remarks indicate that he's only now starting to realize that the Dems are not to be trusted. Hell, you'd think the man would have got the clue from the first two dozen daggers in his back. Sheesh!
. . . and let God sort them out
But wait, didn't nancy say
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998."
It is curious to me if having a presidential contender as the Majority Leader is hurting the Republicans in the Senate from being in-your-face with the nasty DEMs.
And together they look like this nation is full of incompetent asses.
Plays right into the hands of Islamofascist recruiters and commies like Hugo Chavez.
Thanks, Dingy Harry. You and your comrades who wish to destroy this nation may not get it done the way you want, but you're getting it done.
Problem for you is that you won't be on top, no matter what.
It's the sixties all over again.
HAR!!
The rats simply cannot believe that after wasting two years and millions of tax dollars, Fitzgerald got nothing, NOTHING except for some sloppy aide who (apparently) tripped himself up while testifying about a crime that was never committed in the first place.
The rats are foaming at the mouth, and it is a joy to watch!
FWIW, my preference is George Allen.
They realize, for at least the THIRD time, that putting their stock in Joe Wilson is sheer idiocy.
Hell, Kerry FIRED the supercilious liar! Didn't they get a clue then?
What absolute boobs!
I actually don't mind Lott coming back.
I'm sure he doesn't either!
It's fine by me, as long as he doesn't wear those funny cowboy hats with the long feathers on top.
Yeah,,,,and Frist got control of the Senate back by having to agree to a committee comprising half dims (3) to make more investigations of the leak case.
well ...I guess Lott would have had 4 dims in the committee....for the "collegiate bi-partisanship"
Well, by gosh by golly, it's worked great so far!
/sarc
Next thing they'll start up another search for the liberal counterpart for Rush. They're already committed to redebating the merits of the Iraq War for the umpteenth time. Perhaps they'll try to resurrect the National Guard bit again. It sure won't be anything new.
Lott is ten times worse than Frist,and I am not crazy about my Senator from Tenn.
You got that right. Hell, his latest remarks indicate that he's only now starting to realize that the Dems are not to be trusted. Hell, you'd think the man would have got the clue from the first two dozen daggers in his back. Sheesh!
I'd like to see Fred Thompson run for Frist's seat against Harold Ford. Thompson is one imposing individual. Then make him majority leader. He'd be a leader that wouldn't take any crap off the RAT traitors.
Mitch McConnell.
