THE CIRCULAR FIRING SQUAD, AND OTHER DEMOCRATIC ELECTION STAPLES

Let Joe Know: Sign the Letter (blogforamerica.com, 12/8/05)

Earlier this week while discussing the war in Iraq, Senator Joseph Lieberman said, "It's time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge he'll be commander-in-chief for three more critical years, and that in matters of war we undermine presidential credibility at our nation's peril."

Unfortunately, President Bush has no credibility. His administration misled our nation into the war in Iraq on trumped-up charges of weapons of mass destruction. His "stay the course" strategy has led to over 2,100 American deaths. And no one sees an end in sight.

It is disturbing enough that Senator Lieberman remains one of the president's biggest cheerleaders. But his call for opponents of the president's failed policy to keep quiet is outrageous.

The only way we will end this war is by having an honest debate about how and when we can bring our troops home.

Join me in sending Senator Lieberman an open letter asking him to join the majority of Americans in questioning the Bush administration's Iraq policy....

Sincerely,

Jim Dean
Chair

If the brother of the Chairman of the Democratic Party can attack a sitting Democratic Senator for his refusal to turn tail in the middle of a war and run, can Republicans demand an apology?

They could if a politician with BALLS like RUDY GUILIANI were in the race for president. They can't with wimpy suck-ups like John Keating, because he knows he only gets good press when he is making President Bush look like a torturer.

Howard's brother should stick to making sausages...

Howard and his brother ARE sausages.

Of course, the Democrats already Dean's proposed debate - the vote was 403-3. Had Frist forced a vote in the Senate, it would have been 99-1.

Case closed. Or, is Dean suggesting the tally will be different if the House votes tomorrow (as Pelosi implied last week)?

A curious juxtaposition - the Democrats whining and mewling and demanding votes on defeat (while running away from them), while Iraqis vote on their political future, as free people.
