3. He isn't stupid. But he is very, very disingenuous and duplicitous.

10. Seems a great way to put Demopedia to use, no?
You could create a page about statements about the DSM, who said it and when/where. Could be a great resource!

7. If it isn't news... how did you find yourself at the Rose Garden speech,
Dick?

Shouldn't you be showing your outrage at being duped into buying and then spouting the extreme threat and danger posed by Saddam? Or are you now admitting that your appearance was at the event - which served to cave frantic last minute amendments to the IWR in the Senate that were bipartisan in nature and would have placed some limits on bushco - was done knowing that it was a fraud and was done purely to stage your upcoming run for the presidency? I would think you would be screaming with outrage at having been duped by all the intelligence. Not doing so paints yourself in a pretty bad light - at least when the history books are written 20 years from now trying to answer how it happened. You have now suggested that you intentionally supported a war of choice against a country that posed no threat to the United States.

18. oh -and let me add
what a dangerous precedent (starting a preemptive war against a country that posed no threat) is for a "super power" - given that economically and militarily the admin is trying to sap the power of the US from maintaining this position - look to the increasing alliances between long time enemies Russia and China... very very ominous.

12. I think we need a list of our politicians who are in the
neo-con camp so we know whom to vote out in the next primary. Gephardt is one and my Senator Dianne Feinstein is another. In Feinstein's case, her husband, Richard Blum, stood to gain financially from a war in Iraq. Anybody know what Gephardt gets for being in lockstep with BushCo?

15. I used to like Gephardt
Edited on Sat Jun-18-05 12:03 PM by senseandsensibility
because of his stong, strong record on labor. The Iraq thing always bothered me, but I told myself that he was duped. Now I realize that wasn't true. Labor hero or not, he is a coward.x( Between Gephardt and Clinton, my eyes are opening.

16. Gephardt is a Politically Dead ASSHOLE...
I'm still convinced that he and Kerry secretly financed/rigged the negative media bias against Dean during the 2004 primaries. Both are politically dead in my book...opportunistic, self-centered, and lacking of the idealism necessary for a STRONG DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT.

Fuck'em both..

17. He's a loser on a fast growing list.
I started mine right after the 2000 election cycle and the good guys are losing out to Biden, Lieberman, Gephart, and so on, I'm not even sure about O'Bama any more. I truly appreciate the fact that Dean is so outspoken and none of this namby, pamby, brainy crap....the idiots don't know what to make of our talk of a better world and cleaner air and ending world hunger -- sounds socialistic to me, huh? Just ask Limbaugh, he'll tell you all about it.

19. I saw him also
and nearly broke the television set ~ what exactly does he hope to gain, and who thought that dragging him out to thrash Dean (which he also got into his 'I support Bush's war and I'm here to dismiss the DSM nonsense' diatribe), would have any influence on anyone?

I remember crying on the night of the IWR when I saw Democrat after Democrat make their speeches giving away Congress' right to declare war to an administration that no one in their right mind would trust with such power.

Then I remember crying again after the losses in the 2002 election, and right before, crying because of the death of Sen. Wellstone.

I remember saying then, that anyone who voted for that resolution would be on the bottom of my list of candidates in 2004.

I'm beginning to see that we never had a chance of winning an election. I for one, feel utterly betrayed.

Why on earth would Dick Gephardt, who was despised by the right when he was minority leader, stand up for Bush now? Why would Clinton? If they think those of us who opposed this war from the beginning can be influenced by these so-called Democrats, they are sorely mistaken. I don't know why they don't just join the Republican Party ~

22. Gephardt is DLC and the DLC supports this war
Its why there was such a problem in the last election. The DLC supports the current global foreign policy.
