"As they watch G. W. begin to crash and burn,"

The Bush Cartel - that wasps' nest of corporate wheeler-dealers, defense contractors, energy barons and developers - plans to protect and perpetuate itself with or without G. W. Bush. As they watch G. W. begin to crash and burn, they are looking around for the "least offensive" Democrat they can pull onto the stage and shove into power. If they are destined to have a Democrat in office, they want someone hawkish who will not stand in the way of their drive for global corporate conquest, and someone weak, who can be duped into selling out their fellow Democrats on a regular basis under the banner of "bipartisanship," "compromise" and "moderation" - three terms which are merely euphemisms for Democrats giving the GOP whatever it wants, from Patriot Acts to bloody, illegal wars).

The candidates favored most by the GOP are thus Gephardt (who betrayed the trust of his fellow Democrats on the eve of the war in Iraq), Lieberman, who has no business calling himself a Democrat as he is a moderate-to-conservative Republican in everything but name, and John Kerry, who appears to be the ideal mixture of hawk and waffler.

2. good read

"In effect, Dean was dropped from prominent coverage and replaced across the board by Schwartzenegger in a classic propaganda ploy that can be described as "bait and switch". In other words, put Dean's face out there, then "erase" it early in the game by supplanting it with a more sensational GOP spectacle - namely, Arnold "I Just Released a New Terminator Movie so My Face is Everywhere" Schwartzenegger. So if the Democrats complain now when Dean is snubbed, the media can claim they gave him great coverage -back in early August."

5. Well ...it's wrong then because Dean is still getting "Great

Coverage" and it's September!

[rock]

6. When I say 'ready', we rush him

You ready?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

7. So Kerry's a combined "hawk and waffler"?

quite a feat (if only it were true), but BS pure and simple. Whoever wrote this doesn't know shit, which is why she "waffled" herself by saying Kerry "appears" to be. :eyes:

9. if you had read the article - it was Cheryl Seal

10. Kerry is running rapidly to the antiwar side.

Lieberman is going nowhere. Nor is Gephart, at the moment.

And it's too early to call it a Dubya redefeat. So, the big money will likely stay with Dubya for a while.

[ShaneGR]

11. Yeah, I'm sure they would LOVE a pro-union Gephardt

NOT!

[Capn Sunshine]

12. Malevolent kick

cause I LOVE a good flame war.

Did a Midwest staid newspaper actually articulate this? OMG!
