Oh and the other part of the debate that was really funny was when Brit grilled Edwards on the fact that he was sounding like he was for the Marriage Act! hahaha

[celtic gal]

If Kerry had a face lift it flopped.

[BigSkyFreeper]

...these clowns all say I'm going to do this or that but they never ever say HOW they are going to get it done...

That's what bothers me too!

[ZULU]

The Lieberman who is the only sane alternative to Bush if we can't get him in the White House for a second term.

Admittedly, Lieberman isn't ideal, after all, he IS a Democrat. But when you pair him up with that nutcase Dean, that phoney liar anti-war jerk Kerry (with Kennedy pulling the strings in the background), that misanthropic midget Kucinich, that bloated buffoon Sharpeton, that idiot Edwards, and that lying Klintonista Clark, Lieberman doesn't actually look too bad.

At least he has a brain, and knows what a Muslim is, and recognizes the threat Islamofascists pose for western civilization and America - something the other six dwarfs can't comprehend.

PRAY FOR LIEBERMAN. If Bush looses and one of those other six trolls get nominated, its all over for America - no kidding. These guys make slippery Bill Clinton look like an international foreign affairs expert.

Kristol just said Edwards was strong..wrong.Barone is a much better commentator...think Lieberman may hang on now because of his strong showing in the debate.Everyone but the Clark team thinks Clark's tacit approval of the deserter remark hurt him.

[Ben Hecks]

"Jamie Rubin is agreeing with Clark on Bush could have prevented 911,brushed off his not repudiating Moore's deserter accusation..Shameless."

Someone needs to remind that smarmy ***hole Rubin that the Director of the FBI took office about one week prior to 9/11 due to the Democrat foot dragging on appointments. This country lost 9 critical months while the Democrats played their games to keep President Bush from putting together an administration.

[cyncooper]

I hope I'm not indulging in wishful thinking...but no joke, Howard Dean and Judy are very appealing.

I agree. I've caught a bit of the interview. She seems very nice. His weirdness comes through some, but I don't know if an average American who hasn't been watching him closely would catch it, if you know what I mean.

[MEG33]

Greta made the point that Bush had only been in office 9 months.Rubin also said Kane said that 911 could have been prevented.Kane did make some unfortunate remarks that were interpreted that way,which he later repudiated.(911 commission.I think that's the right name)I'm going to google and try to find it.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

' They all try to make it sound like America is a place of dirt roads and children walking naked in the streets "

I am mystified as to how any man could publicly state they are a Democrat and hope to get a date with a woman ( or guy,as the case may be ).The Democrat leaders announce to the world that Democrat men are helpless,unable to find work, can't support their families,homeless or just about to be,can't get to college unless someone else pays for it,overwhelmed with healthcare issues,think everything is a crisis and if there is ever a burglar skulking around the house- a Democrat will handwring and dither and ask that all the neighbors come and help out-otherwise they will be unable to defend their loved ones from the imminent threat. Loooosers and proud of it.

[cyncooper]

Jamie Rubin is agreeing with Clark on Bush could have prevented 911,brushed off his not repudiating Moore's deserter accusation..Shameless.

Disgusting.

From Mr. Amanpour, yet. You can imagine the venom SHE spews.

[MEG33]

Kean said the attacks "probably" could have been prevented if we had kept the hijackers out of the country and some off the planes.He said he was talking about middle managers' mistakes about these things and said what he said was based on evidence already public.I found an old Washington Times article quoting him.

[cyncooper]

Chris mathews is making an absolute ass of himself asking if Karl Rove is doing dirty tricks......

WHAT is he talking about?

I swear, he is very very susceptible to the dem fax machine ideas, and it seems to me somebody floated that idea earlier in the week. It is ludicrous, and Matthews needs to get a grip for pete's sake.

[MEG33]

i remember when Kean's comments caused a firestorm and he"clarified" them the next day.

[cyncooper]

Me, too.

[NYCVirago]

Jennings attack about Moore...So Clark is supposed to reexamine everything anyone said on the same stage as him?

As another freeper pointed out, this wasn't the first time Clark was asked about Moore calling Bush a deserter. Yes, he should have reexamined what Moore said.

[MamaLucci]

Someone needs to remind that smarmy ***hole Rubin that the
Director of the FBI took office about one week prior to 9/11
due to the Democrat foot dragging on appointments.

That would require the RNC to engage in *gasp* politics.
You're not holding your breath are you?

[sweetliberty]

"Did the NH debate ( and I use the term loosely) scare your kitty up a tree????"

Nah...I just put him in his tinfoil hat. He's okay.

THE HOWARD DEAN REMIX. Pass it on.

[Ben Hecks]

"He said he was talking about middle managers' mistakes about these things and said what he said was based on evidence already public."

I think that is a fair assessment but it takes a lot longer than nine months to change the culture within an organization. IMO, one of the potential benefits of the Dept. of Homeland Security is that Pres. Bush won out on the issue of assigning/reassigning employees. If DHS develops a good intelligence fusion capability staffed by loyal, qualified people, there will be a better system of checks and balances and we will be less likely to be knifed in the back by a rogue Clinton leftover like we were in the Wilson/Plame affair.

[NYCVirago]

McCain was on with Greta Van Sistern last night......bashing the President up down and around. He must want to commit Hari Kari today when the authorization bill passed. McCain was bragging that he had republican senators with him.......Snowe, Hagel, and a few dems....LOLOL

That guy is sooooo jealous of Bush. I bet he whines himself to sleep every night, thinking about how *he* should have been president.
