If you have a very large barf bag ready the entire transcript can be found at this place. I couldn't read much of it. Daschle really is a disgusting midget.
Would be interesting to find out who in KC is helping with the fundraising. The local DNC or private donations? MR. RUSSERT: Now, the Republicans are pointing to this, and Ill put it on the screen. They say that, But Republicans pointed out yesterday that Mr. Daschle is scheduled to take part in a multistate fund- raising tour the week of Dec. 10. The trip...will stop in Kansas City, Mo.; Detroit; Californias Silicon Valley; San Francisco; and Los Angeles. And Republican leader Tom DeLay had this to say: Senator Daschle is willing to derail vital pieces of the national agenda in an effort to clear the Senate calendar for a Democratic fundraising trip. ...America is at war, both at home and abroad...Our economy officially entered a recession and Daschle refuses to pass an economic stimulus plan. Our country is dependent on foreign oil and Daschle refuses to pass an energy security bill. Scientists are playing God by cloning human embryos and Daschle refuses to respond.
Will you cancel your fund-raising trip December 10th stay here in Washington to work on these issues?
SEN. DASCHLE: Absolutely, Tim. That waswe all thought wed be out of session by now.
MR. RUSSERT: So its canceled?
SEN. DASCHLE: Absolutely. Were not planning to do any long fund-raising tour because were going to be in session. Well be in session every day during that week because it is important for us, so weve got to address these issues........
Thanks, Snow Bunny, for the anti-Daschle/Leahy/Commie obstructionists/traitors ping. (^:
LOL
Dear Senator Leahy:
As Chairman of the Judicial Committee, you are obstructing the confirmation process of President Bush's nominations. I find this reprehensible and irresponsible and I urge you to put your partisan bias aside and act in the best interests of all Americans.
Also stop wasting time holding hearings on Military Tribunals. Americans approve of the job being done by AG John Ashcroft and his handling of Terrorists by almost 70% according to the latest polls.
You are creating the impression that America is divided on this issue and that can only help those terrorist organizations we are trying to identify and destroy.
Americans need to stand together now for our national war effort and personal security. You are creating the impression that Democrats are more concerned about the rights of foreign terrorists than the lives of their fellow Americans.
