MORE OF THE SAME IN BALTIMORE

Angry Attacks, Shrill Protest And Political Hate Speech

______________________________________________________________

DEM ATTACKS

DEAN: Iraq Is “Battle Created By President.” “This is a battle for terrorism all right. It's a battle created by the President of the United States who ignored the greater danger in Iran and North Korea and al Qaeda at home to do it. This was a mistake, this war, and the President has gotten into it, now we're going to have to get out of it.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

KERRY: President Was Negligent By Rushing To War. “This president rushed to war against the advice of many in this country. He clearly didn't plan for the peace. And it's extraordinary, it's an act of negligence of remarkable proportions.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

GEPHARDT: President “Needs To Get Help.” “This President’s foreign policy is a miserable failure. He has failed the American people and he’s failing the people in Iraq. He needs to get help. We’ve got our young people over there being hurt. We’ve got people over there being injured and killed.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

GRAHAM: President “Intentionally Misled” Americans. Ed Gordon: “[I]n your heart, do you believe that the President intentionally misled the American people?” Graham: “Yes. I was a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee for 10 years, chairman the last two years during the investigation into 9-11. The President knew or should have known, for instance, that the materials that he alleged were going to be used to rebuild Iraq’s nuclear weaponry …” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

DEAN: President Took “18-Month Holiday” From Peace Process. “If we want peace in the Middle East, we need first not to do what this President did, which is to give this whole matter an 18-month holiday and pay no attention at all for the first 18 months of his term.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

KERRY: “Serious Suspicions” On President’s Involvement In Policy Formation. “There are serious suspicions about the level to which this President really was involved in asking the questions that he should have.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

GEPHARDT: Bush’s Performance In Iraq Is “Abomination.” “It is an abomination that he has not gotten our country and our troops the help that we need.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

GEPHARDT: Bush Has One Idea, “Tax Cuts For The Wealthiest Americans.” “[The President] only has one idea in his head -- tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, followed by tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, followed by tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

EDWARDS: President Is Leaving “Kids Behind.” “This ‘No Child Left Behind’? This President is leaving millions of kids behind every single day.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

KERRY: Bush “Walked Away” From African-Americans. “We have a President who’s walked away from them [African-American children], broken his promise and refused to fund ‘No Child Left Behind’.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

LIEBERMAN: Bush Is “Most Fiscally Irresponsible President” Ever. “[L]et me state it straight out. George Bush is the most fiscally irresponsible President in the history of the United States of America.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

LIEBERMAN: African-American Community Suffered Because Of Bush. “No community has suffered more from the fiscal irresponsibility of George W. Bush than the African-American community. Hey, it began before he was President. In the denial his team carried out in Florida for African-American voters who were trying to go to the polls and help elect Al Gore and me.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

EDWARDS: The President Is “Hazardous To Your Health.” “This President … is cutting funding, every single day for programs like prescription drug benefit. This is a President who says we can’t do anything about the healthcare crisis in America. This is a President who blocked the patients’ bill of rights. Here’s what we ought to do. We ought to go over to the White House and hang a big warning sign on the door of the White House that says, ‘this President is hazardous to your health.’ that’s what we ought to do.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

KERRY: Bush’s Economic Development Program Is In Baghdad. “I’m glad the President finally found an economic development program. I’m just sad that it’s only in Baghdad.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

DEAN: Bush “Played Race Card.”

“[T]he President of the United States essentially played the race card when he described the University of Michigan affirmative action program. And for that reason alone he deserves a one-way bus ticket back to Crawford, Texas.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

LIEBERMAN: Bush “Compromised” American Dream. “I said when I declared my candidacy for President that I was running to keep the American dream alive, the dream that has been compromised by George W. Bush so badly …” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

LIEBERMAN: African-Americans Not Allowed To Vote In Florida. “It pains me to look back to 2000 and realize that though we eliminated the laws that stopped African-Americans from voting, [but] they still were not allowed to vote in the state of Florida.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

GEPHARDT: “Like Father, Like Son, Four Years And He’s Done.” “We need to beat George Bush. You know, I have a saying these days, ‘Like father, like son, four years and he’s done.’ We’re going to get rid of George Bush.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

KERRY: Bush “Behaves Like Jefferson Davis.” “This is the biggest say-one-thing-do-another Administration in all time. The President says one thing about children, does another, one thing about taxes, does another, about housing, about the war, about--goes to Goree Island, spends a few minutes, behaves like Abraham Lincoln, goes to South Carolina, behaves like Jefferson Davis on the Confederate flag. We deserve a president of the United States who will write laws for all Americans, not for campaign contributors.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

LIEBERMAN: Bush Is “Worse Nightmare.” “The Presidency of Bush has been a worse nightmare than even Al and I warned America about.” (Democrat Candidates Debate, Baltimore, MD, 9/9/03)

I think Hillary is up to something because Kerry was her person before this. Maybe she thinks Dean will lose bigger than Kerry and she definitely wants the RAT candidate to lose in 2004!

Just don't see her getting in the race now for 2004! With the good poll news coming out of Iraq, she would get beat and I think she knows it but she wants to keep her name out there if she wanted the nomination she could get it.

Not sure she will get it in 2008 -- a lot can happen between now and then -- would love to start hearing drip, drip, drip of everything they have on her for four years. Let it out a little at a time. Then she would expect October surprise which I am sure RNC would be glad to oblige!

[dalebert]

Ir only takes a tiny bit of common sense to know that we have no choice about the war on terror. To do nothing is not an option. We can fight it now with hope of winning or we can fight later with no hope at all.

[dalebert]

I meant to start my last post with the word It not Ir.
I consider what is going on with the Dems right now a form of treason in the form of aiding the enemy. I realize its all about getting money out of their base and pandering to them but there should be an honorable limit to which they will go.They should have more respect for the values of their country and the people who pay their salaries.

[dalebert]

Dean sounds like a Cintonista.

[Stultis]

But, still, bear in mind that even if Dean did say something about expelling McAwful and other 'toon operatives -- and again I've only heard this is so, but never heard the details or context -- Dean will say anything. Doesn't mean he means it, let alone will do it.

Y'all think he's flip-flopping now? Wait till he gets the nomination (if he does). You ain't seen nothing yet.

[4integrity]

Thanks for your objectivity and for the encouraging view. Fox news is beginning to focus on the 'straight talking' Dean's flip-flopping on various positions. When asked about this, apparently, his staff attributes it to his flexibility. The Fox commentator wondered what,exactly, is 'flexible straight talk'.

Howie One-Note and his "Pull My Finger" Foreign Policy

It's a battle created by the President of the United States who ignored the greater danger in Iran and North Korea and al Qaeda at home to do it.

Right, Deanie Weenie, Iran is a danger because of Jimmy Carter, and North Korea is a danger because of the Clintons, Albright, Richardson. They'll have to take a number--because the greater danger was Iraq (because Bill Clinton spent more time getting Monica than getting Osama).

But keep playing Incite the Base because--until Hitlery engineers her next terrorist event--it's a slow news season.

[Poohbah]

On a different topic, here's another one. Cruz Bustamante and Mr. Spacely ...

Un-frickin'-canny.

[CyberAnt]

My view is usually upbeat because I listen to Rush a lot and he's always so obtomistic and makes me laugh at these clowns. If I didn't - I'd be pulling my hair out.

[CyberAnt]

obtomistic = optomistic

I can tell it's getting late!

[ForGod'sSake]

Did not watch this debate because I wanted to make sure I slept last night.

I know what you mean. I was only able to stomach about ten minutes before turning to more important pursuits, like tidying up my sock drawer. These people are spineless slugs; U.N. before the U.S. one worlders. Their coalition of victims must be an astute bunch, eh? Never ceases to amaze me at how shallow their groupies must be. If ignorance is bliss, their base is one happy bunch of campers!

[Marysecretary]

I know. Whenever they talk about voter fraud, they're pointing three fingers back at themselves. Liars always project what THEY are doing and voter fraud is a democrat trait, not republican. We aren't perfect but we do take the higher road on most of these kinds of things. satan is stoking up hell to receive these idiots.

[windchime]

"Did not watch this debate because I wanted to make sure I slept last night."


Good move! I watched.

[aruanan]

Could you put up a side by side of Tom McClintock and Barney Frank?

[ClaireSolt]

Saw Tom Tancredo and some Sept 11 families laying out just whos supports open borders (universities, hotels, and housing industries) against the overwhelming will of the American people. I think ALL of the professional politicians are trying to make us live in a nightmare of 30 second soundbites while they ignore the will of the electorate.

[MeekOneGOP]

Could you put up a side by side of Tom McClintock and Barney Frank?

Sure ...

And here is Cruz and Mr. Spacely ...

Separated at birth ?? ...

[MeekOneGOP]

Whoops ! Ah forgot Ah had alreddy posted the Cruz/MS pics ...

[MeekOneGOP]

Google Image Search didn't offer a lot of McClintock pics to choose from. Sorry ...

[aruanan]

Thanks! They do both have that nose and mouth thing going. Wait a second, there was another picture of McClintock on a recent thread. Okay, here's the one that called to mind the resemblance, though the one you came up with shows off the nose and mouth similarity better:
