In the most sweeping Democratic critique of George W. Bush since last year's terrorist attacks, Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe on Saturday condemned the president's ethics and record, and accused him of wasting the chance for progress on key domestic problems from the economy to health care.

The media keeps saying they want to see people in cuffs for corporate fraud, let's start with McCauliff and Rubin.

What a nice memorial for Sept 11 we have here from the Democrats.

[abclily]

United States voters are not as stupid as McAuliffe and Miss Hitlery think they are. The trashing of everyone and everything honorable is not going to work with our voters.

It's pretty apparent these politicians have a bond that prevents them from going after each other regardless of the party they are in...Makes for a good show though...

Bush said. Likewise, he argued that the expedited "fast track" authority Congress recently provided him will allow him to reach agreements that "open foreign markets to American goods, creating high-paying jobs at home."

Now here is the most rediculous statement I've seen in some time...We know why George and congress wanted fast track and it has nothing to do high wages for American workers...

"Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe on Saturday condemned the president's ethics and record, and accused him of wasting the chance for progress on key domestic problems from the economy to health care."

Wasting the chance for progress because of Daschle's stonewalling. Lets see how Algore and Bill handled things:
In July of 1996, in the wake of the crash of TWA flight 800, President Clinton convened the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security by executive order 13015 to take place on August 22, 1996. He gave the commission 45 days to "study matters involving aviation safety and security, including air traffic control and to develop a strategy to improve aviation safety and security, both domestically and internationally,".............and then... Five years prior to September 11, 2001, Gore held a press conference to announce the commission's preliminary report that promised, "to take the strongest measures possible to reduce the risk of terrorism and sabotage to airline passengers and crews." Gore further stated that their upcoming proposed measures will, "be put into place quickly and effectively and will help ensure that airline travel remains as safe as possible for all travelers." A solid and factual preliminary report backed up Gore's comments......and then Ten days later, just prior to the 1996 election, Gore penned a letter to airline lobbyist Carol Hallett, promising that the commission's findings would not cause the airlines any loss of revenue. The very next day the Democratic National Committee received a check in the amount of $40,000 from TWA. Over the next two weeks Northwest, United and American Airlines donated $55,000 more...........and then. " In the next two months the Democratic National Committee pocketed over $250,000 from American Airlines. United Airlines threw in an additional $100,000. Northwest Airlines added $53,000. That's a grand total of over half a million dollars. According to the Washington Times, Whitehouse Spokesman, Ginny Terzano gave no denial when asked whether Al Gore solicited these airline donations personally.

Al Gore also voted to raise the taxes on Social Security along with Bill. These folks really know how to raise money don't they. But then Bill was so busy... Broaddrick, Willey, Browning, Gracen, Jones, Flowers and then there was the intern he was "ministering to" according to the little Mrs.; Monica Lewinsky

Ethics. Did you say something about ethics Mr. McAuliffe? And the economy? My, My, My! If you don't look too closely, it would appear that Democrats steal for the "economy" while Republicans earn it. And health care? Why it has skyrocketed since Mrs. Clinton tried to fix something that wasn't broken. Get a grip Democrats, your party is full of the worst spinners and liars and get your hands out of my pocket...that's my money you are trying to steal again! My advice Mr. McAuliffe...be very careful what you say...we have records and we will use them!

[Trust but Verify]

Somebody help me out here. They are bashing Bush for not spending enough tax money (i.e. humongous new entitlement program for drugs) and at the same time, bashing him for deficit spending. They can't have it both ways.

I hope the majority of voters see the absurdity of the democrats. Where is their plan?

It has more to do with the liberal media as we saw in '98. Any time a Republican goes after a Democrat over a criminal matter, the media will lie and propagandize against the Republicans until there is more damage done to the Republicans than the Democrats. Clinton was guilty of rape, treason, fraud, campaign finance abuses, racketeering, IRS abuses, perjury, obstruction of justice, you name it, and look what happened, only Republicans had to resign over petty incidents like adultery and college courses that the media harped on day after day. Our war is with the lying degenerate media. Hammer the media and the rest will take care of itself. If we had an objective media, half the Dems would be booted out in the next 4 years for ethics violations alone that now go unreported.

" My advice Mr. McAuliffe...be very careful what you say...we have records and we will use them!"

If memory serves me, Mr. McAuliffe avoided indictment in the Teamsters/Democrat donations scandal only by the efforts of Mary Jo White. A House committee chaired by Rep. Peter Hoekstra noted that the Teamsters treasury had been looted to the tune of $812 million while Carey was president. McAuliffe was directly tied to the entire sordid mess and there are ample public records available. Mr. McAuliffe should be in prison as we speak.

"United States voters are not as stupid as McAuliffe and Miss Hitlery think they are."


Yes they are! They elected Billy boy TWICE they! They are more than stupid they are ignorant and dumbed down by a school system lacking in morals/ethics and a LIBERAL press that rivials ol' Joe Goebbels in spreading lies and propaganda. Yep they're stupid all right (made that way on purpose) and the kool-aid drinkers that follow the McAuliffes, Carviles, Bagalas, Algores, Dasholes just hang on their every word. Oh yeah, they'll vote for whomever they are told to vote for (and some will actually get paid to vote). So with all due respect, I disagree with your statement that the American "voters are not as stupid as McAuliffe and Miss Hitlery think they are." McAuliffe and Hitlery KNOW the voters are that stupid.

But you didn't hand off a good economy, did you, Terry? Toon was cooking the books in 2000 just like Enron et. al.

Looks like Terry and Toon have some splainin' to do....

[PogySailor]

So what's the DNC plan to improve the economy?

1. Raise taxes
2. Spend like a drunken sailor
3. Raise taxes
4. Bash Republicans
5. Raise taxes

If we had an objective media...

We do, it's called FoxNews.

Your style of writing makes me wonder, are you high on benzedrine?
