Daschle Lies on National Television

Fox News Television | September 12, 2002 | Miss Marple

[Miss Marple]

This is important enough to merit a short thread, I believe.

About a week ago Senator Nickles of Oklahoma said he specifically asked the President if he wanted an Iraq resolution before the October recess, and the President answered "Yes."

Today, Fox was interviewing Senator Warner of Virginia, who said that the President has specifically asked members of BOTH parties and BOTH houses of Congress for a resolution before the October recess, and the meeting took place in the cabinet room. I am assuming this is the meeting at which Senator Nickles was present, and I would assume Senator Daschle was also present.

THEN, Daschle comes out saying the President hasn't yet made his case, and says that placing a resolution in front of the Senate is "premature" because "the President hasn't asked for one yet."

This statement by Daschle is therefore an obvious lie, and I am trying to get as many people aware of this as possible.

The comments are on tape, so I am hopeful Fox will air them this evening, and also hopeful talk radio will pick up on the comments.

Senator Warner was quite impassioned, and said that international cooperation will fall away if we do NOT get a resolution demonstrating solidarity with the President.

I thought this needed a separate thread, so here it is!!

Daschle's got bigger fish to fry now -- once he's finished changing his shorts from watching the UN speech...If he comes out with a load of horse-hockey now, he's done.

[Diogenesis]

Daschle should marry Scott Ritter and move to Iraq.

The sky is blue, water is wet, etc.....

THEN, Daschle comes out saying the President hasn't yet made his case, and says that placing a resolution in front of the Senate is "premature" because "the President hasn't asked for one yet."

He means that Bush hasn't gotten down on his knees before him and asked him personally for a resolution. Dasshole IS the center of the universe, you know.

No, what it needs is a ROPE! ;-)

[Howlin]

You are wicked!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Daschle has many questions for his pollsters.

Thanks, Miss Marple. It's good to document his lies, although if we did all of them, we'd quickly run out of bandwidth.

Remember the May 5 comment about the reason for the high cost of the "farm bill". Daschle said it was because there wouldn't be all of those supplementals, like drought relief, in the future. Now he's demanding a $6 billion drought relief supplement.

Why are all DemocRATs pathological liars?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Daschle should marry Scott Ritter and move to Iraq.

Joe Biden says they can't do that. They are not the same paygrade.

[Carolinamom]

Giant BUMP! We have PROOF he's lying.

[philetus]

That's as plain as the noose on your face.

[Miss Marple]

It is my own personal strategery.

I am just trying to help Brit Hume with his evening program. Heheheh.

By the way, McCain is doing a good job of helping the President. Very smart of Lott to get him on TV with him, since the press sucks up to everything McCain says.

[GoldMan]

If Das-hole ever told the truth on National TV,
that WOULD ne news!
This is just more of the same.

[Howlin]

Oh cool......CNN is saying that Lott and McCain are putting a LOT of pressure on Daschle.

[Carolinamom]

Send this thread to Brit!

[Howlin]

Remember what Bush said to Daschle down in the well at his first State of the Union address?
