Cheney's remark about Dean is geared to perpetuate the Dean conflict/story
because the more the media talks about the faux Dean conflict, the less airtime devoted to BushInc's real problems with the Downing Street Minutes and Bush's bad poll numbers.

1. Bingo
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 02:25 PM by nadinbrzezinski
this is a false story in many ways (Thogh Dean is essencially correct and this is also an effort to spin it as bad, bad democrats, see they are mean)

Now send a letter to your local paper demanding they cover James Sensenbrenners Tyranical actions on teh floor of the house

Sendt them the DSM

Oh and remind them, they are protectign teh power elite who wants to silence everything else

5. Dean should go to Ohio and raise hell about the Coingate corruption
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 02:29 PM by billbuckhead
getting into pissing matches about religion while all this other stuff like Coingate, DSM and the bad news from Iraq is going is counterproductive.

Hell, Cheney's trying to make it personal between him and Dean.

18. At any other time, Cheney wouldn't give this story a second thought, but
this isn't ANY time. There are impeachable offenses coming to light and the less light they get from the media, the less chance the American public will demand answers.

6. And this is exactly
why Dean should keep talking. If the "news" is to be Dean's statements, then I want to see him use it to advantage and keep saying things like: "Bush and Cheney are war criminals. The Downing Street Minutes are impeachable offenses. What other lies are they telling?"

You get the picture. Then PERHAPS the insistance on coverage of Dean will lead to questions like, "well, AREN'T they war criminals?"

8. blm, you slammed that one down with Thor's hammer.
This administration is about conflict, stress, division, lying, and cheating.

No wonder other nations are puking at the American Example.

12. Exactly.
We have so much going on right now that we need to be dealing with. Would Dean say any of these things if he was not fully prepared to deal with the blowback from the Republicans and the media? No, of course not. We need to drop this and get on with what is going on behind the sensational stories. Dean is fully capable of dealing with this without our petitioning everyone who says bad things about him. DSM! DSM! DSM! To name and rename one of the major things we have right now. More photos coming out this week. There are a million reasons they want us to be whining about Dean.

Thanks blm.

15. Nope.
No money until the election process is taken care of. It does no good to support anyone with your money if they are going to lose anyway. They have called and they have been informed that that issue is the deal breaker for me.

Dean is a big boy. He does not need my approval to do the right thing.

16. But it's all about money , always has been
to withhold cash now is pointless, no matter what you think about other issues.

I agree that the election process is vital and first priority, but shooting off a toe because your foot needs more exercise is not a worthy strategy.
