I can only hope that the pulse of the American people is a little bit more quickened then the sing-songy pace of the Democrats on C-SPAN right now.


Is everyone out to lunch in Washington?

Hey Daschle,

Don't talk to me like I'm a 4 year old.

2. Not Angry???

I would settle for ANY emotion. Data could give a more emotional delivery.

3. Personally, I like this response....
Anger is great, but that's not how the response is, or ever has, worked. That being said, it is a little monotone.

You're right
They want to elicit a measured response...don't want to look like a freaked out hippy at a WTO protest or anything,

but this is surreal.

It makes it seem that everything is business as usual and CHIMP lied his ass off and no one is calling him out.

I hope to smell that one of these comers in the Democratic race have the guts to take this insane moron on...

positively, of course.

Ahem.

9. Seriously -this rebuttal SUCKS
Edited on Tue Jan-20-04 10:32 PM by KTM
Rebuttal: \Re*but"tal\, n. 1. (Law) The giving of evidence on the part of a plaintiff to destroy the effect of evidence introduced by the defendant in the same suit. 2: the act of refuting by offering a contrary contention or argument 3: a pleading by the defendant in reply to a plaintiff's surrejoinder.


Why do we put friggin' Pelosi and Daschle out there to speak for us ?? They aren't "rebutting" at all. Where is the anger, the passion, the counterpoint ?!?!

13. We wonder why people believe Bush
and his lies. Pelosi and Daschle are a pretty good example why.

17. I think it's unfair to expect a detailed response to the speech.
How much time to formulate a response...5 minutes? It forces a generic, non-specific response.

Much better to wait a day and develop something solid.
