you've got them pegged.....consistently lying hypocrites.

I just hope that more and more Dashcle supporters and democrats in general begin to notice how partisan these attacks are.

If they would only notice that the politicians they are electing would rather stoop to partisan attacks than take just stands in which they believe and lead people in the course of action that they believe is the right course.

Daschle just doesn't get it, but I hope his constituency does and quits electing him to anything.

Bump!

I think the Dim-Wit-Crats have finally crossed a line. I can't wait for the crash-n-burn that awaits them in 2004.

My email today Senator Dasshole today:

Senator Daschle-
I had thought that my opinion of you could not be dropped any lower than it was after your previous ill-informed tirades, your complete and total obstruction of any action taken by MY President, and your hypocritical actions- saying one thing for the DC crowd and another back here in South Dakota. I was wrong.

Your disgusting attack on MY President yesterday, just as our troops are preparing to engage the enemy, was one of the worst things I have ever witnessed.

the diplomacy failed because of the French, and all responsibility for this war sits in the lap of Saddam Hussein. This war is not something that we rushed into- how can you say that 12 years worth of last chances is failed diplomacy on the part of the US?

Perhaps if your idol, Mr. Clinton, had been more interested in taking care of the problems that were present when he was in the office (instead of lobbing a few missiles when he needed to distract the country from his reprehensible behavior) Mr. Bush would not have this mess to deal with. If I recall correctly, you fully supported that approach when it was used.

In the future, please stand aside and let the adults do what they need to do. If you must whine, do so in private so that you quit causing the fine people of our state to be ashamed of their Senator.

Sincerely,
Joshua M. Kolakowski


email response that I recieved:

Dear Joshua:

Thank you for contacting me about my comments regarding President Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq. I appreciate your input on this matter.

First, let me say that, like all Americans, I strongly support our troops. I will work with the President and my colleagues in Congress to make sure they have the resources and tools they need to accomplish their mission.

Second, Saddam Hussein is a threat to his own people, the region, and the world, and the United States cannot tolerate the possession and development of weapons of mass destruction by his regime. There has never been a debate about the need to confront Saddam and the threat he poses. I have always made clear that he is a serious threat and have supported the use of force should it be necessary to disarm him.

In my view, this has been a debate about how best to confront that threat - at the least risk to our soldiers and the least burden to America's taxpayers. This situation - where Saddam poses a threat to us and our friends - demanded vigorous diplomacy and coalition-building at the highest levels of this Administration - the kind of effort we saw in 1990 by President Bush's father and his Administration. The results in 1990 were very clear - more than 16 countries contributed more than 200,000 ground troops, and our friends and allies covered 90% of the costs.

Unfortunately, we did not have that kind of effort here and did not get a similar result. Nevertheless, I am confident our troops will make us all proud, and I stand ready to do whatever is necessary to help them accomplish their mission swiftly and safely so they may return home soon.

Once again, I appreciate hearing from you, and I hope we you will stay in touch.

Sincerely,


Tom Daschle
United States Senate

(Hey Tom- we have the backing of 30 countries with the private support of 13 more!)

This is very helpful for Bush's re-election in 2004....

Have written to everyone I know to write to today about this. Read Daschle's comments in '98 after Clinton passed the Iraqi Liberation Act which endorsed regime change. Daschle: "Look, we have exhausted virtually all our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with their own agreements and with international law. Given that, what other option is there but to force them to do so? The answer is, we don't have another option. We have got to force them to comply, and we are doing so militarily."

And what is Daschle saying nowDaschle says that he’s “.. saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we’re now forced to go to war.” Wow, that’s quite a switch from his Clinton era pronouncements, isn’t it? Daschle goes even further. He is getting on the bandwagon early to lay the blame squarely at the feet of George Bush for any fatalities American troops may suffer. Daschle doesn’t blame Hussein for failing to live up to his agreement to disarm. He blames Bush for responding to Hussein’s failures and threats.

Tiny, tiny Tommy Dasshole is a liar, a traitor, a reprobate, a situationalist, a socialist, a schemer, a hater, an unoriginal thinker, a "yes man," a cheater and an idiot.

Get used to it!

Never forget this whole Bush-bashing plan has been ORCHESTRATED BY HILLARY CLINTON!!!

She's doing such a good job too - they are going right over the cliff and into oblivion!!
