Dean attacks Bush during Tucson rally
Edited on Tue Aug-19-03 03:39 PM by Skinner
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP)


Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean removed his necktie in the summer heat and offered a blistering attack on President Bush at a rally here Monday.

Dean, a former Vermont governor and a front-runner in the crowded field — currently at nine announced candidates, told an estimated 500 supporters that Bush’s economic and foreign policies have been failures sufficient to end his tenure in Washington. -

Dean said while Bush talks tough on defense, the president failed to buy enriched uranium left from the former Soviet Union’s weapons program — which could become a deadly issue in the hands of terrorists.

Similarly, Bush did not come up with homeland security money to fund inspection of 90 percent of cargo containers entering the country daily, he said.

1. Now THAT'S the kind of attack I like.
THAT'S the kind of attack I wish all the candidates, and their supporters, would engage in. You know what I mean.

3. they will
there's blood in the water now. The candidates and press will start taking small bites, and then bigger and bigger ones. * is being perceived as vulnerable, and nothing arouses agression like the appearance of weakness.

5. Haha...
...I'm a Dean supporter, and I know that would totally blow his chances, but I'd donate another $100 just to see Howie punch George in the nose.
