Donna Brazile: I Will Rebuild With You, Mr. President (must read)

LOL!

[slyfoxvirden]

Is she still having her regular lunches with Karl Rove?

[DCPatriot]

I'm not liking Bush's attitude towards this Katrina thing, he's becoming an enabler.

That's nonsense.

It's an opportunity to give people who experienced generations of welfare payments to feel like "normal" citizens by putting them to work in the reconstruction of the Gulf.

The DNC knows that if the black american won't do it, the hispanic...illegal or otherwise will be there every morning.

The Democratic elite are cornered.

[ken5050]

Blanco will NOT run again, obviously....so, how does Gov. Brazile sound to you?

[looney tune]

I actually checked to see if this was from scrappleface.

[boomstick]

Not as good as Gov. Jindal or Gov. Boomstick.

[bert]

Sorry RatHo, but you are permanently out of power

[BunnySlippers]

I remember how Democrats were mad at Brazille when she said how proud she was of Condi Rice achieving success as a black woman becoming Secretary of State. She spoke movingly of how tears welled in her eyes when Condi was sworn in.

This tells me that Donna Brazille can put aside partisanship from time to time. I believe her for this incident.

As I see it, Bush has proposed an expensive solution, nevertheless a viable solution to cure a set of social ills that the Dems would never consider. Why cure a problem when you can blame the Republicans and collect votes. But perhaps Donna B., for all her vitrol, values her neighbos and family over her hate and partisanship

That being said, GWB should still sleep with one eye open.

[BunnySlippers]

See post 88. She's done this before. Maybe she means it.

[Verginius Rufus]

Hey, it's not Donna's responsibility to help her relatives. That's why we have welfare--it's the taxpayers' job.

I'm reminded of the French newspaper which right after 9/11 had a sympathetic headline (along the lines of "We're all Americans now") but then quickly went back to their usual America-bashing. By making this statement now, Brazile will find it easier to find fault later with how the Bush proposals work.

[Bommer]

oh how sweet. After Democraps blamed him for the hurricane they want to kiss and make up.....until the commision hearing when they start attacking all over again. Same crap card they played after 9/11. Once a rat, always a rat!

[penelopesire]

"Speaking of POLLS, the pollsters have been awful silent lately! The rabid turnips have been trouncing the same old poll numbers before the speech! I bet you W's polls are rebounding back to pre-katrina and the RAT presstitutes are having sh** fits!"

Interesting isn't it? That is why the LSM is now talking about all the money this will cost, etc...hoping that they can peel away some of the republican base and then repoll later next week. Don't fall for it folks.

[weezel]

She liked the give away part. What I gleaned from the speech however was a twist on the old give a man a fish thing. Bush says he's gonna give them folks plenty of fish to get them by for awhile, but he's gonna make them learn to catch their own also, instead of just waiting for the first of the month like the great society had them doing.

[Ann Archy]

Great point about the silence of the polls!! If W's were down they would be shouting it from the rooftops!!

[JOE6PAK]

Money changes everything.

[CyberAnt]

I think if you take the time to go back and check out some of the other things Donna has said in the last year or so, you will find that she has been leaning this direction.

I'm only surprised she has gone public with it. Check out Rush's website - he has an article by Fineman exposing the KOOK LEFT's power over the dems and how it's transforming the dem party - negatively - which Rush has been exposing for quite some time.

Knowing that .. I believe Donna can see the writing on the wall .. the democrats are going to take a GREAT BIG HIT in Louisana .. and from the comments which ABC so thoughtfully supplied for the public .. Bob Beckel is wrong AGAIN that the "repubs have destroyed all their hard work within the black community".

While I'm probably cynical enough to believe Donna is just doing this to save herself .. and keep herself free from an association with the KOOK LEFT .. she is a very influencial black person and could actually help the repubs.

Of course she loves president Bush when he's ready to spend like a drunk liberal.Those of us who thought this president would move further to the right in his second term couldn't have been more wrong.The republican party is a spineless party made up of empty suits.

I think Donna Brazile would be less enthusiastic if the House of Representatives presented GWB with a $200 bil list of offsets. I'd be more enthusiastic in the HOR did that, but Donna would be much less so.
