2. And What Is Dean Saying

for those of us who dont have CABLE!!!!!!!

[lyonn]

14. Also mentioned we need to know what Abramoff

was doing having meetings in the White House, that the people have a right to know this! That the repubs were concerned about their party and the dems are concerned about our country. We needed to concentrate on Afghanistan and Not Iraq, it was a serious diversion to doing something about those that killed 3000 Americans. This is only my interpretation of what he said. As usual, Dean was clear and concise.

4. Shouldnt that be our ranking member on the Intelligence Committee?

Where is our political leadership.

Dean is supposed to be raising money for and grooming candidates and voters, not acting as apron skirts for our elected officials.

If I were him, I wouldn't fall for it.

[lyonn]

16. Dean is leader of our party

He should be speaking on this issue along with others. I love it when it gets air time on any subject.

[Rose Siding]

5. Nora asks "Shouldn't there be unity now" that OBL's been heard from

:banghead:

Dean says the reason there isn't unity is because the repubs have corrupted the govt.

[rodeodance]

8. questions like that make me sick.

[blm]

11. Nora - Jack Welch's prized Bushwhore (after Russert, of course).

Dean gave a great answer.

It's a shame how the mediawhores manipulate anything and everything to protect the Bushboy.

[lyonn]

21. Dean can handle Nora

Can't remember the name of the CNN female, the one that likes Rush? but, she is absolutely unbearable. She has been flapping away for an hour now and I had to change channels while dusting, ect. Thank gawd, I would have missed Dean.

7. he was great, didn't let Nora O'D pull her usual crap. -eom

[rodeodance]

15. wonder if Fox slips some $ on the side to her?

[Darkhawk32]

9. Dean says that * dropped the ball in the war on terror and that OBL...

still being alive is testament to that.

Touched upon * running a corrupt administration.

Said that although we're together on the war on terror, we're not with him on the war in Iraq and won't give this President a pass ethically.

[rodeodance]

23. Quick clip transcript from the DNC....

http://www.democrats.org/a/2006/01/quick_clip_tran.php

In a short interview this afternoon, Governor Dean took the Bush administration to task for diverting resources away from the hunt for bin Laden and his associates in favor of a war of choice in Iraq. He praised the recent action there and called for more focus on the hunt for the people who killed thousands of Americans on September 11th.

He also made a point about the priorities of the two parties generally when it comes to keeping America safe and acting in the public interest:

NORAH O'DONNELL: What should the Democratic and Republican parties be doing at a time when another Osama bin Laden tape has surfaced, rather than being divisive, shouldn't there be unity between the two parties?

DEAN: There is division because the president is running a corrupt administration. The president has admitted that Jack Abramoff met in the White House -- this person who financed all these trips and campaign contributions in return for favors. Now, we want to know from the White House: who has Jack Abramoff met with in the White House? How many times has he been there? The American people have a right to that information.

So, just because we are united in our fight on terrorism does not meet the Democratic Party is going to countenance corrupt Republicans running this country -- and that's exactly what's happening, it's happening in Ohio, in Washington, all over this country. We want a change, a fundamental change, a limit on this kind of money corrupting our government. The difference between the Republican Party they put their party first, before America. We think that's wrong. We think America comes first, not either political party.

I caught Norah's replay of this a short few minutes ago, and they played only the part where he said concentrating on Afghanistan again was good. They did not use the rest of it at all.
