Do We Detect a Pattern Here?
"Several candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination spoke out yesterday. Rep. Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.) said Bush's 'factual lapse' cannot be easily dismissed 'as an intelligence failure.' He said the president 'has a pattern of using excessive language in his speeches and off-the-cuff remarks' which 'represents a failure of presidential leadership.' "--Associated Press
"Amid questions about the president's justification for war against Iraq, [John Kerry] the Massachusetts senator [who by the way served in jail] plans to question Bush's credibility next week by citing a pattern of deception on national security and domestic issues, aides said."--Associated Press
"What troubles me is not that single episode, but the broader pattern of dishonesty and delusion that helped get us into the Iraq mess."--Nicholas Kristof, New York Times
"The case of the bogus uranium purchases wasn't an isolated instance. It was part of a broad pattern of politicized, corrupted intelligence."--former Enron adviser Paul Krugman, New York Times
"I think the American people are aware this administration has engaged in a pattern of deceit."--Dennis Kucinich

The Clintons' DEM-PRESS co-conspirators are accusing President Bush of being a habitual liar. Somebody needs a spanking.

This "pattern of x" must have played well with Democratic focus groups and is seeping into already biased reporting.

Thank you for the post, Cowgirl.
Here on FR, I have seen solid evidence of the so-called "urban legend" of the DNC Fax. Here is yet another piece of proof.

I think that there will be a lot of liberal,socialists dems with egg all over their faces soon enough. Do they not yet understand this President? Bush, Like many good men who know they are right, feels no need to defend himself from unjust attack, things will work out.
In the meantime, let them dems dig their own political graves with their tounges!

All of us need to memorize these few words. The actual words used by President Bush in his SOTU speech on this subject:
"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

Thanks for the reminder of those words. Seems the Liberal Press arm of the DNC cannot seem to understand English.

I thank Fair Opinion for posting what GW actually said in his SOTU speech.
"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

Don't you get the opinion that the press and some posters on here think Bush Supporters are dumb? Or is it that they hope we are?

We just have to say:
It's just lying to kill a dictator. The American people don't care. It's time to move on.
