Clinton needs to do it all over again.
This is about strategy. Period.

Bill Clinton needs to do it all over again. Do what he did with Chris Wallace. Keep the heat on. Let him set the short-term 'debate' agenda.

He gets the heat. 'Angry' they say. Fine. He's angry. Deal with it, motherfuckers.

What we get is a debate that we want to have.

Who did jack shit for eight long months? Who lied? Who fired the best security guy we had from the St. Ronnie days? Who ignored the Welcome Wagon memo The Dawg left for the Crawford Hillbillies as they moved into the house? Who put a scrawny-assed woman with no middle east expertise in charge of national security and then had her gut the operation and redirect it to star wars shit?

Oh yeah we want that debate!

Bring.It.On.

All the make-nicey-nice Dems need to do is what they're told. Follow the leader. Go buy a pound of anger someplace and use it, fer krissakes. The Dawg can take the heat for you. All you need to do is echo him.

Follow the leader.

1. It's a shame that Clinton wasn't out there for the Presidential
race, but as I recall he was still recuperating from heart surgery.

He's out there now, and you're right, he needs to be in their face everyday speaking the truth.

5. He made a few stops for Kerry late in the game .....
.... and from a health perspective, it was probably too early for him. I was glad to see him, but the fact is, he looked like shit.

Bypass surgery ain't like having an ass boil lanced. (Ya hear that, Rushie-poo??

7. You're right about that..
he clearly wasn't in "the game" yet, and he did look very ill.

He's kickin' ass now, that's all that matters!!

6. Well stated .... 'cover'
Yup, he did. If it suits, our bigger wimps can always resort to the 'some people say .... ' ploy if hard ball politics is too icky for them.

4. And their alternative to trying to sand bag him would be
(gasp) discussing the issues (horrors)!

9. It's not really anger, it's called OUTRAGE!
And it's long overdue on our side.

10. BUSH DROPPED THE BALL, THE RESULT WAS 9/11
OH YEAH, BRING IT ON!!

Let's ask them again -- how did they follow up Clinton's counter-terrorism efforts? What actions did they take? WHAT FLIES WERE THEY SWATTING?

BUSH DROPPED THE BALL AND THE RESULT WAS 9/11...BUSH DROPPED THE BALL AND THE RESULT WAS 9/11....RINSE, LATHER, REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT cuz that is the gospel truth of the matter.

11. Absolutely! Big Dog needs to keep the heat up, but he can't do
it all alone. Glad to see Hilary and Boxer are joining the fray. I hope like hell to see more dem leaders joining in and speaking up. We have truth and right on our side, but for too long have allowed the rethugs to out shout us, and the msm to censor us. Say it loud Dems!

12. well, it's about damn time SOMEONE in the Democratic Party got mad . . .
I mean, almost all of our elected "leaders" have pretty much been sitting on their hands and keeping their mouths shut for the past five years . . .

'bout time someone got angry at the mofo's, don'tcha think? . . .

time for the rest of 'em to get ripshit angry, too . . . because I sure as hell am! . . .
