Also discusses comments made at Repug dinner

1. I would hope he'd

fire the whole Bush cabinet. That's kind of the way it's done.

They all resign and leave with the president.

[Closer]

2. Sure

He says that NOW that's he's running. But let's remember what he said in '01:

"And I'm very glad we've got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice... people I know very well - our president George W. Bush. We need them there."


But you're right Clark supporters, he's 'changed' :eyes:

[bluestateguy]

4. If you scour the press releases...

you will likely find similar remarks made by prominent Democrats in Washington in 2001. Rumsfeld, Powell and Rice were all confirmed 100-0.

8. Do you think that just *MAYBE* things have changed since 01?

I mean, maybe a few small things have occured since then that just MAYBE could cause someone to change the way they feel about Bush's people.

10. yeah something like 45% of the country also changed mind about bushco

he once had a 90% approval

12. Hmmm.....

"I have never favored a Social Security retirement age of 70 nor do I favor one of 68." -- Howard Dean in August of 2003


"The way to balance the budget is for Congress to cut Social Security, move the retirement age to 70, cut defense, Medicare and veterans pensions, while the states cut almost everything else. It would be tough but we could do it." -- Howard Dean in 1995


H.D. Puffenstuff will save us all. He has espoused politics for the good old fashioned down home practice of doing anything to get elected.

[trogdor]

3. Somebody's been reading up on his Eisenhower.

"I will go to Korea." Those were the words that got Ike elected President in '52.

5. Clark is playing to win

he'll go all the way, if Demos are playing to win too

[JasonBerry]

7. Another case of WHICH Wesley Clark?

It seems like Wesley Clark has to "explain away" something every single day. You Clark people are awfully trusting to believe that what he is saying today is the REAL Wesley K. Clark. Of course, if its not, like the weather, just wait another day and it will be. Pick your Clark!

[MIMStigator]

9. Dean had to explain away raising the retirement age. I'd say...

that's a bigger problem than flattering a Repug audience once two years ago

[carpetbagger]

11. Good. We need a president who knows how to read.

I just wonder if the World Trade Center, or at least one tower, would still be standing if the President's Daily Brief didn't get dumbed down and shrunk to fit George's little brain.

6. Is this because Howard Dean issued a call for Rummy to resign yesterday?

Or are they allied in the same fight? By the way you can sign the petition asking for Rumsfelds AND Wolfowitz ass :

13. Haven't you heard. He loves Rummy. He said so in May '01..

long before the bushies revealed their evil intentions... </sarcasm>

[MIMStigator]

14. And he probably doesn't really even think Rush is "full of shit" n/t

:o
