No, we want Bush to defend his OWN policies. He has ample ammunition to do so. If he continues to allow the Dems to create the framework for discussion and to level unsubstantiated and inaccurate charges without a forceful response, then perceptions become reality. Clinton and his "war room" understood the need to refute these kinds of accusations in real time. The Bush adminstration has done a poor job whether it was Katrina or Iraq.

Saturday, April 30, 2005 The History of Republican Evil

There you have it. What a different country this would be, had not Republicans blocked the agenda of Democrats every step of the way. But this evil organization is far from through. Now, they want to give education vouchers to public school children, so kids of every race and class can attend private schools of their CHOICE. Where will we get our garbage collectors, dishwashers and ditch diggers if blacks, hispanics and white trash have access to a good education? They are trying to stop undocumented immigration, meaning the cheapest labor Democrats have had since the days of slavery will be taken away. They are trying to end segregation and slavery all over again!
And in true Republican tradition, they just can't stop poking their nose into other people's business, trying to destroy a woman's right to choose. They are trying to crush the secret vision of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, who once said, ""We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population…"
Is there NO end to the freedoms these fascists will try to destroy?! No matter how many lies must be told, no matter how many schoolchildren must be mis-educated, no matter how many elections must be rigged, THE REPUBLICANS MUST BE STOPPED!

Agreed! IMO that's why Cheney's (now former) Chief of Staff is being targetted so hard. They hope to "get something" on Cheney, maybe by getting Libby to turn on him, so they can get him out of the way.
I doubt very much there is anything for Libby to tell them, but if he's being faced with a possible 30 years, maybe they hope he'll get creative.
I hope Libby will fight them tooth and nail and expose the CIA/HBM cabal instead.
I stuck to the dead people on the ferry. The gal knew exactly what accident I was referring to and said she'd pass my comments on to the senator.
I reminded her that altho the senator's wife did not use Schumer as her last name, we KNEW who she was and didn't appreciate that she took no responsibility at all for the deaths.
Getting into the gutter is not something I want to see from our President.
However, he does need to stand up publicly for Scott McClellan and say that there will be no rude disrespectful attacks on the man or the privilege of being in the WH press corps will be removed.
Libby's attorney is going to be calling members of the media to the witness stand, as well as CIA personnel.
Good point whenever I see him in front of the media he seems to play with them. It is the media that say he is loosing in the PR stakes because he plays his game not theirs.
samantha,
Wasn't it a few weeks ago that the Daily Kos (or Koz, I can't remember which), and others on the left, were saying they would start opposing and exposing various Democrats if they did not start going after Bush more? I seem to remember Rush commenting about it, and he was saying he supported the Daily Kos' outing defiant Democrats who did not follow their bidding.
Assuming that's true, it might add to our understanding of why old media keeps repeating obvious lies and distortions of the Bush record and past events, and why there is growing media pressure against President Bush.
I have been unable to find her husband's name linked to any "news" stories done on Maggie Williams. I guess the lazy media doesn't think that is important.
I'm waiting to take pictures of your boat stuck on a sandbar in a Rocky Mountain river.
Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.
Yeah, a report the Repubs have had ready since May and been trying to get the Dims to read and sign off on. All this is is a PR talking point fed to the Dims lap dogs in the Dinosaur Media. Sen Robertson came out and nuked this right after the Dems little PR stunt but as usual the DNC directed news media ignores the facts and just "reports" the DNC spin lie as a "Fact". The report has BEEN ready since MAY. The Dems finally put up their people so the report can be released. The facts are completely different then the spin lie but as usual the "Conservative" pundits are so busy whining at their own side the truth gets lost in the Dims noise.
Come on, Kennedy may be on drugs. He deserves the benefit of the doubt. LOL
I have been trying to post for over two hours, my server is mucking up, and keeps erasing my posts. I have had it and will get a new server this week, this is the third time they have messed me up and three strikes and they are out. I will try to remember all the stuff I phantom posted before.
Panda pics thank you
Coburn standing along against The Human Dirigible, then a round-table of Ron Brownstein, Nina Totenburg, and David Gregory. Nothing slanted there!!!!! Further, how can Timmy even talk about the Plame affair objectively when he was one of the principles?????
And your proof to back up this assertion is? I am kind of curious. What does this constant bashing of our own side do to help advance the agenda?
I think some of the Media talking heads are so stuck in this bash their own side always rut they simply cannot think of anything else to say. I mean, how many hundreds of posts do we have to see saying this "Why isn't the WH fighting back" whine???? Frankly I am sick of hearing the same collection of Freepers do nothing but shoot at their own side post after post.
Anita, do you have that list of things the WH has accompliesed this year handy? Can you send it to Tomguy?
Doris Kearns Goodwin followed by Jimmy Carter followed by Doris Kearns Goodwin again. Aaagh!
