Daschle Lies on National Television
Fox News Television | September 12, 2002 | Miss Marple

Posted on 09/12/2002 9:39:47 AM PDT by 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.

If anyone has Laura Ingraham's email address, I'm sure this whopper could make the "Lie of the Day".

Like Slick Willie, Daschle can't help lieing. Remember last year when there was an anthrax alert in the Senate and Tommy said that he didn't know there was a "safe place" for the lawmakers? It turned out that he had BEEN THERE! This pathetic little shrimp is so transparent in everything he says and does, I can't believe how he can get face time in the media!

. . . bodily functions .

Actually, I was referring to the platform carried around by his lackeys that he stands on to make his character look larger. However, given the context of the previous comment, who knows!

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

"Tommy, you're a bad boy. Now go to your room."

Even if someone does not live in Daschle's state, if they pound on their own Democrap senators to get them to pound on Daschle, it will have an effect.

I do not share your belief on that issue.

Condoliza Rice said it best "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud".

Now that is my nomination for the quote of the day -Rjayne - where are you?

Almost all of them are his allies.

Hmmm, quite a bit of pent up anger there I'd say. LOL

Not really, I just don't like liars who are willing to lie with no regard for their country's well being.

You are so optimistic.

I live in Michigan and my Senators are Carl Lenin and Debbie Stabyounow.

Lower ranking Communists don't "pound" on their supreme leader.

LOL, not liking someone and recommending the POTUS give him a good old fashioned ass kicking and then throwing him out the window seems like a bit over the top if you have no pent up anger!

What the heck would you recommend happens to people you hate? :-)

PS, I have a list of people on this forum who fit the same discription, maybe you can round em up and kick their ass too.

Daschle's knowledge of the request is a matter of record...

First of all the request was publicized during a WH Press Briefing 09/06/02...

Bush Wants Congress Vote on Iraq Before Adjourning in October

Here is an article that shows Daschle was at the meeting on 09/04:

Bush Seeks Congressional Vote on Iraq

Okay Dasch-hole...it is official...now get busy!

A copy of an email that I just sent to tiny tommy. I have also posted it to the SD freepers:

Senator Daschle,
I am writing to urge you to pass a resolution regarding the use of the military in Iraq. Our way of life is threatened by a two-bit dictator and all you seem to want to do is stand in the way of President Bush. How can you possibly no longer be convinced that we need to remove Hussein? You agreed with the idea when Mr. Clinton was trying to distract the nation from his impeachment. What has changed since then? Have there been numerous inspectors that can't find anything in Iraq? NO. Has Sadaam changed his ways? NO! The only change that I can see is that there is a Republican in the White House. You are playing politics with the saftey and well-being of American citizens, Senator. I will not forget this when you come up for re-election, and I will make sure and remind everyone that I know. You are taking the attacks on our country as your opportunity to stand in the way of what needs to be done in order to gain political points with the far left. Or you are a coward who thinks that hugging those who would destroy our country will solve the problem. I don't believe it is the latter, so it must be political games. Please stop playing and let those who take the safety of my family seriously do their jobs.

Not a bad one, but I prefer this one:

"By breaking every pledge -- by his deceptions, and by his cruelties -- Saddam Hussein has made the case against himself."

George W. Bush

When someone lies on national television when it is so easy to discover the truth, what does that say about the person? Pathological?

More like desperate.
