Daschle Considering '08 Presidential Bid
By JOE KAFKA, Associated Press Writer 25 minutes ago
Former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle, accusing the GOP of spreading a message of fear, says he is considering a 2008 presidential bid.
"I haven't ruled anything out or anything in at this point," Daschle said in an interview Saturday night after a hometown dinner in his honor.
"I'm encouraged by the strong support many people have voiced for my candidacy around the country and in South Dakota. I'll make a decision at some point later on this year," he said.
Daschle said President Bush and Republicans have overemphasized the importance of the war on terror, and he said the U.S. is no safer now than it was before the Iraq invasion.
"This country is not more secure when a president infers that he is above the law and can wiretap and eavesdrop on average citizens," he said. "We're not more secure when we turn ports over to foreign countries."

WITH SHRILLERY!
THE THREE STOOGES
and
THE WICKED BWITCH SHRILLERY fresh from the darkest cess pool and her latest Fosterizing forays on her broom.
This is such a hideously awful charade of some sort . . . one begins to warily wonder . . . are they some sort of complicit idiots setting the populace up in some way?
How could anyone with a brain even begin to imagine, much less actually support WORSE candidates? I mean, I hope they go for it--except for Shrillery--she's too dangerous to risk it with . . . but sheesh . . . It's truly hard to imagine worse candidates.
Clearly the dumbing down of the populace has reached the elite. Maybe it started there.
We do need an infusion of new dwarf jokes.
Nope. But he'd be good for target practice!
Opps! Egad...I forgot he didn't even carry his home state.
MASSACHUSETTS! Isn't that where Fat Teddy's from...you know, the swimmer?
My Senior Murdering Senator For Life!
Pretty in pink, I remember it well! We are all dragging out the old Daschle picts, lol.
"I'm encouraged by the strong support many people have voiced .... in South Dakota"
Dude, they didn't even support you enough to send your sorry butt back to D.C.!! What a joker.
THEM, watch 'them' crash, Hillary, Kerry, Daschle, etc. The battle of the 'egos' but it will be fun to watch!
Really, If what is going on now is a preview of coming attractions, 2008 is going to be a bare knuckle caged brawl.
I agree. In my whole life I've never seen people as mean spirited as they are now.
I see there are some bad grass fires up in North Texas, we are under a 'no burn' ban here and the winds are ferocious! Did you get some rain out your way?
I saw them talking about the rain in Phoenix on the forum. It's been a dry year for us.
We are having an early spring and the oak leaves are falling like crazy already. The wind blows them and Piper doesn't like getting hit with 'those things', lol.
Next will come the oak tree 'fuzzy tails' that are really messy.
It's cooled off here. Hard to imagine, but in a few months, it'll be in the 90s heading for 100, then 115. The temp swing is amazing.
