Daschle is the senate's gullom who has lost his precious majority leader title.

"Bush! we hates it! stole precious he did. Dirty thieving president."

Safire's Political Dictionary explains "Copperhead" this way: "The copperheads were those Northerners who opposed the Union cause during the Civil War. The copperhead snake is considered by many to be the lowest of a low breed: It strikes without warning, contrasted with the fair-minded, noisy rattle-snake."

I've read that the Copperheads of the Civil War era got their name because they cut the head of Liberty out of the large 1 cent piece and wore it on their lapels to show their support for "State's Rights".

Agree except with Daschle being the chairman, Daschle is nothing more than the "mouthpiece" and he reads the script laid before him.

Clintons former co-presidents are the leaders of the whole cabal.

BJClinton is reported to have said the following in New York last week.

"WE need to be CREATING a world that WE would like to live in when WE'RE not the biggest power on the block".

Since this nation is the only nation that has as its foundation that all "RIGHTS" given to individual by the CREATOR no government can take, explains exactly what the battle is about.

Transfer from the "CREATOR" to the socialist the power to create.

Tom Daschle's Aid and Comfort
The minority leader's attack on George W. Bush
puts him in the dubious company of Charles Lindbergh.

Hugh Hewitt, contributing writer

SENATOR TOM DASCHLE'S attack on President Bush on Monday was unprecedented for the leader of the opposition party in Congress, but high-profile Americans have a long history of getting it wrong on matters of war and peace. Most famous among these is Charles Lindbergh, who help found the America First Committee in September of 1940. Lindbergh barnstormed for isolationism, blasting the British as he went, demanding that America "not dissipate our strength, or help Europe dissipate hers, in these wars of politics and possession," exclaiming that "I would as soon see our country traffic in opium as in bombs," and denouncing the prospect of--sound familiar?--dead children: "I do not want to see American bombers dropping bombs which will kill and mutilate European children, even if they are not flown by American pilots."

Lindbergh's efforts were not without harm. They contributed to German miscalculation, as William Shirer makes clear in "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich." The German military attaché in Washington, General Friedrich von Boetticher "overestimated the influence of the isolationists in American politics," writes Shirer, "especially of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, who emerges in his dispatches as a great hero." One wonders how Daschle and others are being portrayed in the Iraqi dispatches this week.

Here is Shirer's summary of Lindbergh:

Charles A. Lindbergh, the hero flyer, who had seemed to this writer to have fallen with startling naivete, during his visits to Germany, to Nazi propaganda boasts, was already consigning Britain to defeat in speeches to large and enthusiastic audiences in America . . . He condemned England for having "encouraged the smaller nations of Europe to fight against hopeless odds." Apparently, it did not occur to this man that Yugoslavia and Greece, which Hitler had just crushed, were brutally attacked without provocation, and that they had instinctively tried to defend themselves because they had a sense of honor and because they had courage even in the face of hopeless odds. On April 28 Lindbergh resigned his commission as a colonel in the U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve after President Roosevelt on the twenty-fifth had publicly branded him as a defeatist and an appeaser. The Secretary of War accepted the resignation.

Shirer dealt with Lindbergh in a footnote. A future historian of the war to liberate Iraq may not be so generous with Senator Daschle. President Bush, who has thus far dealt with his domestic and foreign critics with only indirect criticism, should keep in mind FDR's example. At some point the American public deserves to have the proponents of vulnerability at home and indecision abroad rebuked.

Good article. But I think Daschle is the whipping boy of the democrats. He's gone about as far as he's ever going to go in politics, so he's being used to make others (Hillary) look moderate.

Daschle is an embarrassment to the Democrats, but they are paralyzed and cannot move against him because of their pacifist wing – their Clintons, Kennedys, Leahys and Deans.
