"Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, who earlier in the day had lashed out at President Bush, saying he had "failed so miserably" at diplomacy in the crisis with Iraq that the United States now stands on the brink of war, issued a statement after Bush's televised address assuring the president of congressional unity." | ||

My blood pressure went up a few notches last night when I saw the statement. Tom Daschle and many other democrats that are in the Public Eye are using this oppurtunity to slam George Bush in hope of swaying voters next year. It doesn't matter what side of the fence you are on; being in a postion of Publc Leadership, one should act accordingly. The Brit that resigned from his post did do with honor and respect towards Tony Blair. Too bad Mr. Tom Daschle cannot do the same. One more thing. This is Dweb and I drove the Pig today. | ||

One would think the Democrats would get tired of the mean-spirited attitude of Daschle and Gephart. It is one thing to respectfully disagree. Entirely another to act the way Tom Daschle consistently does. I just wish our electorate would act on its outrage once in a while, and vote pricks like Daschle OUT of office. Ditto for the Dixie Chicks. | ||

Well, have you looked closely at this poor guy lately? He looks horrible, hopefully it's just the stress of knowing that his political career ended last Nov. It's shameful and embarassing to see a politician with more ambition than integrity trying to hang on for dear life.

Great quote today from Newt Gingrich (who admittedly was a bit peevish, himself...) "I think Daschle must be the French wing of the Democratic Party." Made me laugh. | ||

I tend to agree with him. I think bush is overly arrogant while having no basis for arrogance. I think if we had a better president, maybe one who is perceived by the rest of the world as "intelligent" then maybe we could have bolstered the correct support and not had to go at this without UN help. Had we got UN resolution I think Sadam might have given up before there was actually war. That said I have no issue with going to war with them, just the fact that president bush consistently appears to be an idiot of low IQ. -not that we had any good choices for president but I’d rather it be Cheney in charge.

Nice. Of course our detractors will say George Bush's power and influence and family name got him all that, he couldn't have possibly earned it himself. Leadership is not always measurable by pure intelligence. Bill Clinton was brilliant but he sucked as a leader. I think you have to be careful not to confuse confidence with arrogance, Rob. Some of our most confident presidents (Reagan, Truman, et al) were not the brightest, but they had a strong belief in themselves, and what they felt was right for the country. Reagan, for example, pulled our country out of a quagmire of self-doubt, simply by striving ahead boldly, not obsessing about the deficit, and creating a common enemy (the evil empire) for us all to focus on. Brilliant? In many ways, yes. Perhaps not as measured by the academics, though. Just a few random thoughts about why I don't think Bush is nearly as stupid as everyone makes him out to be. | ||

Bush is a very accomplished and intelligent man. He may not be the best public speaker, but no one with a MBA from Harvard and a former fighter pilot is an idiot. Lets not forget that Clinton did not have UN support for Bosnia and went in anyway and I believe was justified in doing so. If the UN had backed us up and put unified pressure on Hussein, we would be watching tracers fill the skys in baghdad. Instead, as always, the US will foot the bill to inforce resolutions set by the UN that they don't have the ethics or backbone to backup. | ||

Tom Dashle is a "has been". he is no longer important and is basically the democrat version of Trent Lott. | ||

Enoch, You called Clinton "brilliant". Wow! I wonder how an idiot would have handled Monica. | ||

i dont care if he is brilliant or not. it is how he is perceived. he speaks and acts without couth. in a simplar way, he just isn't presidential material in my eyes. either was gore. rd | ||

Rob, Clinton was perceived as being brilliant around the world during his term. What did it do for the country? Nada. He failed to bring peace to either Northern Ireland or Isreal/Palestine, while spending a great amount of time trying to do so. I like to see a President that is extremely confident (you call it arrogant). We need to shake things up every once in a while. All of this so-called diplomacy has allowed countries like Iraq and Iran, Syria, etc. to become more powerful over time. Saddam giving up? Give me a break! | ||

mike, i'm not over here sucking clintons dick. it takes a special blend to be presidential material, of those things is couth and intelligence, which I feel bush is lacking. I'm not saying this kill sadam shit is a bad idea. my comments are about bush personally not his politics. i liked mccain the best out of the last choices. rd | ||
| Mike Rupp (Mike_rupp) Member Username: Mike_rupp Post Number: 172 Registered: 02-2002 |
I'm not talking about sucking Clinton's dick. Above you assert that if Bush was perceived to be more intelligent we would have had the support of the UN and we might not have had to go to war in the first place. I don't see how having the support of the UN would make any difference. Saddam has virtually ignored anything that the UN has done in the last 12 years. My point is that Clinton was (and still is) viewed as an extremely intelligent man. So what? Just because the president is viewed by the rest of the world as intelligent or not doesn't matter to me. Bush is willing to stand by his convictions and thus the rest of the socialist world would naturally think he is a bozo. Mccain is a decent guy, but his politics are a little suspect. | ||

it was monica's job to suck clinton's dick. That's about all I learned from his terms as pres. I was a McCain supporter too...voted for him in the primaries... Gore reminds me of Bob Ross, who we all know was Rob's touchy-feely uncle. |
