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.

Picture Tom DeLay in Frist's place when Reid pulled his PR stunt. I'll guarantee he wouldn't have just been "hurt" by Reid's failure to consult with him, as Frist was. Something tells me Reid wouldn't have pulled this on DeLay.
It's not as easy for liberal males to get laid.
And it shows.
Looney is right... Anyway what the focus should start being is how many lives have we saved in the U.S. since we are fighting terror over there.... Where are all the talking heads that predicted many more attacks on the Homeland right after 9/11... Well 4 years have gone by and not a single attack on U.S. soil... Something must be working...
PSYCICS GARGOLYS LIARS
Here it is first hand. The Democrats voted for World War 3.
Didn't know that it was a World War.
Didn't know that people would be killed.
Didn't know that it would cost a lot of money.
Didn't know that this war would last a long, long time. I don't know why they didn't know because I sure thought it
would. And I doubt that I will see the end on the War on
Terror in my life time and I still believe I have 20 yrs.
left.
Thinking that being safe or safer would come from declaring war on the Terrorist of the Islamic Army is a fool's wish unless all and I mean all ways and means of killing you is taken away from them, you either have to kill them, or separate them some way as to not be able to have any contact with you or your love ones will be the only small safe way and destroy their basic ideology belief that it is OK to kill you if you do not agree with them. There is not reasoning with them. Haven't you seen that?
Liberal fools, take a good look around the world including the U.S. and see what the Muslims are doing and who they are killing. The Muslims are killing Christians, imprisoning them, destroying their churches, attacking Christians and their beliefs every day though out the world and there is not one out cry from you. Where is your bleeding hearts here? Or, do you believe that it is just the Christians and Jews that the Muslims want to destroy?
Wake up liberal fools, if the Christians and Jews fail, guess who's next?
These Muslims and Communists are already in the Congress and Senate and are the major lobbyist in Washington and you still think that the WAR in Only in the Middle East.
I say WAKE UP Liberal Fools and take a GOOD look around. I say the WAR is ALSO here in the U.S. right in front of you and you can not see it because you are blind to the real WORLD and FACTS!
They truly are in a parallel universe.
>>not as easy for liberal males
You'd have loved the '70s.
All these quotes by these loonies need to be emailed to their offices enmasse. And to the news outlets. Fox has used a few of them. It is one reason that they don't like the report because they were supposed to judge different rationals for going to war w/o knowing who said it. I'm sure the Dims were afraid that they'd pick quotes which sounded like they were war-mongering and then they'd turn out to be spoken by Dims.
Yes .. but Hypocrites don't think they should be accountable for their own words
There is another statement from Hillary when she was on the Russert show. She said that "Regime Change" was the Policy of the Democratic party (In my words). I wish I could find it. I thought it was one of those "you just put a foot in your mouth", statements.
[i]an aggressive political strategy that has energized the party's anti-war activist base.[/i]
The same way that they were energized this summer behind Cindy Sheehan?...or last year behind John Kerry? If so, then we've nothing to worry about.
And WHY, did Berger and Wilson get fired from the Kerry campaign within a week of each other. Berger's FIRST heist was after Joe joined Kerry's campaign but BEFORE Joe wrote his article.
It will likely be Mitch McConnell.
It begs the question: Why does Bill Frist continue to yield to these wackos?? If you reward a child who has a temper tantrum, they learn that they will always get their way by having additional tantrums. Frist nees to stiffen his spine and start playing the Adult!
Mitch McConell.
I think this is going to backfire on the Dems. This morning I was flipping through the channels and a CNBC stock exchange floor reporter was talking about the dollar rising and one reason he gave was "Europe is Burning" or something similar. I had to laugh.
The Democrats backdrop to Bush Lied! is Europe is Burning!
I think the long term plan of the Dems is to recreate their success back in the Nixon administration in Bush's Second term.
They would desperately like to impeach him or force him to resign. There is no limit to their villanies - they re traitors.
Hah - great points - the 70s is what you get when Democrats are in charge. The 70s were a horrible time. Thank God for Reagan for leading the charge to fix the entire mess.
