Relieved: Dems WILL respond after Chimpy's speech...
Yesterday CNN reported that Dems had decided to refrain from responding to the Big Speech tonight.

However, this morning, CNN reported that Dems (Sen. Dick Durbin) were going to respond after all. Thank G-d! I thought it was a big mistake to let Chimpy's propaganda go without challenge.

1. CNN Reported?
Well, there's your first indication that the opposite is likely true. They've gotten almost as bad as fox lately.

3. I know Durbin was speaking in the Senate
shortly before I heard CNN make the announcement... he may have included his intention in his oratory.

Well, it's good news anyway. High-minded Dems tend to defer to 'the good judgement" of the American public. WRONG. In the words of Chimp: "you've got to catapult the propaganda".... In this case, Dems have to catrapult THEIR propaganda.

And how often do we get to speak directly to Amnericans without the biased filter of the MSM?

2. That is good news
I can see why they might be hesitant, but this is the wrong time to be sending a message of weakness.

4. I want Bush isolated as much as possible. He will try to blame every one else...
when this fiasco goes awry.

7. Isn't there always a democratic response to any * speech?
Whether all the networks cover it will be another matter.
