-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com The media portrayed Tom Daschle's little tirade against talk radio last week as a symbol of his frustration. More than an indication of frustration, Daschle's rant was a warning shot – a statement of intent and resolve. Talk radio is dangerous to the left, and talk radio must be dealt with. During any given month talk radio is either the first or second most popular radio format. When Shania Twain comes out with a new CD, the minds of normal men slip from politics and talk radio slips to second. When America is threatened,...

Take this poll TOM DASCHLE BLAMES RUSH FOR THREATS...DO YOU AGREE?

Tom Daschle reacts strongly to the defeats of his democratic party and the loss of his position as Majority Leader in the Senate. This reaction was similar to another Daschle reaction made earlier this year. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE?! NOW WE CAN'T BLOCK OVER 100 BILLS AND REJECT GOOD JUDGES?! THE REPUBLICANS WILL KILL TRILLIONS OF IRAQIS AND POISION OUR WATER WITH ARSENIC LACED WITH ANTHRAX AND KICK OUT ALL THE IMMIGRANTS WE NEED AND CUT ALL THE TAXES TO THE WEALTHIEST 1% AND NOT ALLOW WHORES TO KILL BABIES AFTER THEY CHOSE TO HAVE SEX WITH A WORTHLESS A**HOLE...

One Man, One Vote Tom Daschle Isn't Up for Reelection, but He Could Still Lose Big Tomorrow By Mark Leibovich Washington Post Staff Writer IOWA CITY Tom Daschle makes a small entrance. He arrives commotion-free, a few minutes early for a campaign rally for Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) at the University of Iowa's Memorial Union. As he waits for Harkin, Daschle doesn't so much work the room as mill through it, gently, shaking hands and telling everyone how "terrific it is to be in Iowa" in a deep voice that's barely audible.

From Miller's article... "Herewith, an update of the 13 hottest [Senate] races in the land: ARKANSASThe Matchup: Sen. Tim Hutchinson (R.) vs. attorney general Mark Pryor (D.) Latest Poll: Pryor leading, 48 percent to 43 percent, by Opinion Research The Line: If Hutchinson hadn't divorced his wife to marry a young staffer, he'd be running away with this race. It's no coincidence that Pryor's latest ad begins with these words: "Loving husband. Caring father." Hutchinson couldn't do the same thing with a straight face. Hutchinson may well lose, and he'll have nobody but himself to blame. If Tom Dasshole remains...

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D. points to a chart he says shows that the GOP has blocked completion of legislation to create a Department of Homeland Security, during a news conference on Capitol Hill, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2002. The Senate was unable Tuesday to break the labor rights stalemate over legislation creating a Homeland Security Department, lengthening the odds that Congress will reach compromise before the November elections. Daschle insisted that the Senate would continue to seek compromise, even raising the possibility of action after the Nov. 5 elections.(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

Yesterday National Review Online reported continuing Republican frustration with Majority Leader Tom Daschle's decision to shut down the confirmation process in the Senate. In the last six weeks, no Bush-administration nominee has been confirmed in the full Senate, leading to major backlogs in filling administration posts. In the justice field alone, there are a total of 31 nominees, including 15 candidates for the federal judiciary, 13 United States marshals, two U.S. attorneys, and one Justice Department official, waiting for confirmation votes. There are no problems with their nominations; all have been approved by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy's Judiciary Committee. It's...

Senator Daschle 509 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C., 20510 Dear Senator: I write you with a heavy heart on behalf of my people, and the pressure and oppression placed on them by the American government and Americans at large. My people came here two centuries ago when a foul famine destroyed their homeland, and when they arrived, their civil liberties were horribly stripped away when they were denied employment because of who they were. We were cruelly characterized as being dumb and mocked by almost every newspaper in this country. I cannot allow the memory of this hurt to...
