Why was Tommy Boy in such a Hurry in 1998 when Clinton never talked to the UN ??

Someone needs to lay it on the line with the RATS - schedule a vote. They are the ones playing politics with national security and our men and women in uniform. Disgusting.

""I don't think that the case for a pre-emptive attack has been made conclusively yet," Mr. Daschle said.
"There are a lot of questions out there." "

Would you be so kind as to pose one of these 'questions'? Perhaps if you asked the questions, you would get the answers. Are you afraid of the answers you will get?

Pure political treachery but endangering millions of American's lives.

"I don't think that the case for a pre-emptive attack has been made conclusively yet," Mr. Daschle said. "There are a lot of questions out there."

Daschle is an obstructionist. Plain and simple.

Why is Daschle afraid of public debate and votes of the entire senate.

He should be an embarrassment to the Democrats but ignorance is on their side.

Saddam's protectors are U.S. DemonCraps. But for them, Bush takes Saddam out and soon. Iraqi Weapons of Mass Murder programs continue with DemonCrap protection.

Remind everyone you know a vote for a DemocRAT in November is a vote for Daschle/Clinton DemocRAT Policy of putting the UN over the US!!!!! The Daschle/Clinton DemocRATS are putting the lives of Americans at risk with this policy! They must be stopped!

VOTE REPUBLICAN IN NOV 2002
Take Back the Senate
Keep the House
TOSS OUT THE DASCHLE/CLINTON DEMOCRATS!

Insane isn't it? I had lunch with a friend, a liberal (she doesn't realize she is a liberal) and she asked "Well, if this war isn't about oil and Bush's oil connections, why was nothing done to stop him in the 8 years Clinton was president?"

I tried to say that Clinton lacked the fortitude to do anything, his every move was dictated by opinion polls, and he left office after 8 years leaving a huge foreign policy disaster.

But, still to these people nothing is as important as drug care coverage for seniors. There is no logic, no arguing. They just don't understand that the DNC is not the party of JFK, it is probably the biggest enemy this country faces. It is the party of Tom Dashle and Hillary Clinton-

[SouthernFreebird]

I've seen the look in Bushs eyes lately....I don't think anyone is going to get in the way of what needs to be done. Tommy has become irrevelent.

[Real Cynic No More]

Daschle is only holding out for a quid pro quo. Bush needs to find out what it is, then prove to the people that Daschle is playing politics with our national security.

[Wphile]

Daschle is such a dip. I cannot believe he wants to see what the UN does before he votes on something. Good Lord, how in the world can this guy be majority leader? TAKE BACK THE SENATE!!

[cubreporter]

Daschle continues to show his true self as he bucks everything President Bush tries to do. It's so evident it's sickening.

[republicman]

I wish the new tone would disappear for one moment and Bush would say that the democrats are once again putting their own political ambitions before what's good for the country, and they need to be voted out in November.

[monocle]

Dashcle is singlehandedly "disenfranchising" a majority of the voters and the Senate by refusing to have a vote on this matter as well as other matters, such as judicial appointments. Isn't it time that Dashcle be called to account?

[cubreporter]

You are right. President Bush is focused and will let all the naysayers do their thing but when he is ready he will go and go big time. Daschle is not only irrelevant but a silly little man who seems to forget we're talking about our country and not party lines. I think that's how entrenched he is in politics and politics alone. Very sad.

Biden was awful this morning on CBS early show... alleging that Congress could not act without UN going first... utterly ridiculous... has he ever heard of national soveigrnty?

[cubreporter]

Bush gave a "courtesy" interview to the UN...that was it!

[rudypoot]

Well, we all know what Ritter got paid to defend Iraq. I wonder what the price was for Daschle?
