He also pointed out that Al wouldn't answer questions from his journalism students and that he would not come on FNC to answer questions...

Well, it sure worked for Hitlery. Al must figure why not, give it a go.

Al just hasn't picked up their slickness. He has the lying down pat. Plus, he's off the Clinton Christmas card list. He's expendable.

I'm beginning to wonder now if the Dim strategy is to trot Al Gore out more and more to openly pick a fight with Bush. Daschle started wratcheting up the rhetoric today. Gephart is soon to follow. They don't have anything sticking so an all out food fight before the election is their goal and the last desperate act. The Dims will get equal air time and they hope Bush takes off the gloves. The dims will then cry that W lied. "He's NOT trying to unite America." They want to suppress turnout by turning the voters off. It's easier to steal elections.

I am wondering if they know that ANYONE is going to face an uphill battle, against President Bush, so why not let it be someone as widely-disliked as Al.

Definitely a slow learner. He had 8 long years to learn from the slicksters. Well, he did flunk out of not one but 2 grad schools.

LOL, blam. If you can do that verbally, O'Reilly pretty much did it.

LOL! O'Reilly used him as the ridiculous item of the day.. I don't think he does that often.

This shows how moaning about the 2000 election still will only dig the dim's into more of a grave.

Antonia Stolper

"The Women's Voting Guide will help revolutionize the way women vote in this country," said Antonia Stolper, founder and Chair of the Women Leaders Online Fund. "For the first time, women will be able to hold their elected representatives accountable for their votes in Washington, and women will be able to cast their votes with full knowledge of where the candidates stand on issues of importance to them," Stolper added.

The Women’s Voting Guide was founded by Antonia Stolper, a partner in a major New York law firm who has been politically active for 25 years. The bipartisan Founding Committee includes people like Victoria Reggie Kennedy and Sarah Brady. It does not accept money from any political party.

Ms. Stolper says she created the Women’s Voting Guide to make it easier for women to participate in politics. "Voters used to get involved in campaigns because they cared about the issues," Stolper says. "But now campaigns are name-calling contests run by expensive hired guns. The Women’s Voting Guide gives voters the information to participate in the political process as fully informed citizens, not merely as passive viewers of negative campaign ads."

Fartick reminded me of a stage mother, trying to get her little darling chosen to be the next American Idol.

I am having a hard time trying to figure out how the dims are going to win this strategy. Don't underestimate them...republicans always do.....but in this case it looks like desparation but i'm not sure. I've heard the arguments...they can't get programs back on the table so they just attack Bush on Iraq and coalition building but i just think they have something up their sleeve...never trust them.

"But now campaigns are name-calling contests run by expensive hired guns.

It takes a really corrupt person to be able to make such a statement. Then again, when you've supported the killing of innocent children, it's just a walk in the park.

Women Go High Tech to Fight the Right

New group aims to organize women over the Internet Declaring the Republican Contract With America a "war on women and families," a group of politically active women is turning to the Internet to mobilize women to fight back. The new group is called the Women's Leaders Online, (WLO).

"After 100 days of congressional attacks on programs of vital concern to women and children, American women are in a state of shock," said WLO Chair Deborah Sale. "It is time to fight back."

Women's Leaders Online is unique:
WLO is the first major effort to organize women over the Internet to advocate for women's issues. WLO is the first major daily news source controlled by women. WLO counts among its supporters prominent women officeholders, including Congresswomen Nita Lowey (D-NY), Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Manhattan Borough President Ruth Messinger, former congresswoman and Vice Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro, and leaders that include Ms. Foundation for Women President Marie Wilson.

WLO has published a Women's Contract With America, with which it will make women's concerns the focus of the 1996 election campaigns.

"The Internet is a superb tool for mobilizing political women," said Polly Rothstein, WLO vice chair (and president of WCLA). "Three weeks after posting our announcement, we received over 1,300 enthusiastic responses from women all over the country, in every walk of life, who are appalled by the Contract With America and eager to do something to stem the tide. Through the Internet, we can instantly offer accurate information about congressional actions and direct women to take appropriate steps."

WLO publishes a Daily Hotline, which will be the first national women's newspaper. The group has also designed a World Wide Web page, which computer users can browse at their leisure. The Web page contains the Daily Hotline as well as analyses of legislation, information on women's groups and groups hostile to women, and calls to action. The Web page is currently accessible to direct Internet users and Prodigy subscribers, but all major services plan to offer access soon.

"To join the Women's Leadership Online and receive the Daily Hotline, anyone who can send and receive e-mail over the Internet can send an e- mail to wlo@wlo.org with the subject "Interested." To reach the Web page, users can direct their Web browsers to http://www.wlo.org

Besides Rothstein, WLO's founders include WCLA board members Bob Fertik and Antonia Stolper.

"Women stayed home in 1994 while angry white men voted in droves, and the results were devastating," said Sale. 'We want to use the Internet to mobilize women to register women voters and make sure they get to the polls." She vowed, "The war on women will end in 1996."

It seems that they have learned that the "scare them with Republicans-taking-away-their-social-programs" isn't working, so they are going with Bush is going to start WWIII and make himself a tyrant.
