Good analysis guy.

Methinks Dasshole needs a booster seat and pacifier.

Is Deasshole going to let us count the military votes in 04? Wake Up America!!!

[lavaroise]

Dashole thinks he is president and can encroach further on the job of the President. He should be impeached for blocking important bills and his political infractions that encroach on the President's jurisdiction.

[Republic]

Daschle's latest imbecility -- he accuses Bush of going off half-cocked and of failing to produce any tangible results, such as nabbing Osama Bin Laden -- set off shock waves in Washington. Could Daschle be this stupid?

Best 2cents ever! Loved it....every word. I am so grrrrrrrrrrrrr right now...your twist on the subject was a welcome reprieve. Hey, the little yokel might as well be on the WH payroll! LOL! Perhaps we should be sending him "Thank You" notes! Hehe

Can't you just see the hardliners sitting in the 'war room' (probably hillary rodham's vipers nest on the hill) trying their old tactics of 'going outrageous', putting the sound bite out there, and then watching what happens.....hoping their minions will rally to the bite and suddenly turn the entire episode (whatever it happens to be) upside down, side ways and every which way but 'how it really is'.

You know, the Orwellian scenario.....Carville was the master. Remember the trail balloon 'Does character really matter?' Sick as it was, it worked, and people actually separated character from the man. Unreal. This time, the sound bite is meant to cast doubt on our war effort, to impact the dumbed down in our society, to cause distress and fear about our war effort...pretty sick stuff, that.

This time however...it is not only backfiring...it will probably hold until election time because we will have successes in the war and I expect we will have a few more terrorist attempts here at home-maybe successful ones. I hope not. But Daschle and hitlery ( Yeah, I kinda think she is in this mix, up to her ugly eyeballs. ALong with carville and the rest of the creepy, actually replusive standard crew. I recognize the insidious and brutality of attempting to separate our nation...her forte as it were. Liberals cannot survive if we are united. Isn't that sad?) have really goofed.

They are begining to look a bit naked around the seams.....the clothes are tattered....falling off...

The new essay just published.

[CPT Clay]

Great campaign ad!!! The war on terrorism is going well. Witth troops in in Afganistan, The Phillipines, etc. Is______ going to let us count the military votes this time?

[Republic]

That is terrific!!! John is a national treasure here at FR! (And so are you!)

[KC_for_Freedom]

They are begining to look a bit naked

You mean like the little emperor has no clothes?

[SpinyNorman]

Appearing on several Sunday public affairs programs, Daschle struggled to contain the damage, with little, if any success.

What is this? The NYTimes reporting the truth? The writer must be new or something...Just don't understand how it got past the editors.

Maybe they were on holiday with their "life partners" or something..........

[RJayneJ]

Well, bless your sweet heart for your kind comments. I love John's essays, and agree with him and his analysis 100%. He write almost daily, sometimes every other day, so bookmark his page. You won't be sorry. He is doing a fantastic job.

[Clovis_Skeptic]

Ok Dasshole, here is the inside scoop...Muslims did it...were gonna get'em...next question please

[1 FELLOW FREEPER]

If I were Bush, I would tell Congress as little as humanly possible. Secrets don't last 24 hours there....just a giant sieve, where secrets are given to reporters sympathetic to their cause.

[eureka!]

Great 2 Cents John. Dasshole did step in it. I hope he gets what's due...

[daler]

Maybe Bush should declare THAT idea "dead."

[FranklinsTower]

It is obvious dasshole has been acting rather strang these days. This tells me something not so obvious is at foot.

I have a theory. dasshole's ranting on the war is really a distraction from the real issue the dims want to avoid, election reform. The anti-fraud measures in the election reform bill will doom the dims. The whole chuck schumer charade in the Senate was nothing short of the dims saying they are for election fraud. The dims had to get that subject off the chattering class radar screen. So they rolled dasshole out there to provide cover.

Now one may ask, why would dasshole do that? It is my opinion, dasshole has no real intention of running for Pres., he is acting that way so as to be able to pull the spotlight away from other issues when needed. But in doing so he looks like he is on a political suicide mission. It is my opinion that passing real election reform might be more suicidal to the dims than nit picking President Bush on the war. There probably are some backroom deals and/or strong-arming (FBI files) at work that gets tiny tom to dance for his masters.

By his comments, He's giving life to the opposition in Afghanistan, similar to what the war protestors did during Vietnam. Democrats like to do that kind of stuff.

[antaresequity]

No surprise if they lose seats in both the House and the Senate come November...

I agree with this statment progy. I think Dems are in for a real shock come November.

[UCANSEE2]

Instead, he set himself up for a mighty fall.

Or, in Daschle's case, a little bitty fall.

[stumpy]

That is something I learned while too young to vote as I fought in Viet Nam.

[willy WOXOF]

Tom Daschle reminds me of the strawman in the Wizard of Oz, "if only I had a brain."

That job was taken by Jim Jeffords?..looks like him.
