6. FINALLY someone who
doesn't mince words.
Now if every democrat would start talking like this, I would feel a whole
lot more hopefull that we won't be seeing more of the same old GOP reelections in the fall!

37. That's what I'm talkin' about!
"Wade continued: "When it came to Iraq, this Administration chose to cut and run from sound intelligence and good diplomacy, cut and run from the best military advice, cut and run from their responsibility to give our troops body armor, and in November Americans will cut and run from this Republican Congress."

Yea! David Wade and Yea for Kerry having a spokeman who can articulate the republiCONS shortcomings!

rover got his "porcine" look back.

4. Your wish is my command
"The closest Karl Rove ever came to combat," said Kerry spokesman David Wade, "was these last months spent worrying his cellmates might rough him up in prison. This porcine political operative can't cut and run from the truth any longer."

Wade continued: "When it came to Iraq, this Administration chose to cut and run from sound intelligence and good diplomacy, cut and run from the best military advice, cut and run from their responsibility to give our troops body armor, and in November Americans will cut and run from this Republican Congress."

11. Rove's remarks
I sure would like to see the MSM pick up Kerry's remarks, but I'm probably just kidding myself. I think it would be great to see Murtha and Kerry together giving their response to Rove on live TV. They both need to get very aggressive in combating this sort of crap. They should also remark on how little time the Prez was able to spend in Iraq and only in the green zone. Do you think Laura Ingrham will criticize him for not getting out with the troops?

13. dems need to stop "responding", they need to be offensive, then be...
more than prepared for the shit storm that will follow; they need to be ready to keep it up, to call them liars, thieves, thugs...call them what they are, throw the chips into the air and let them fall where they may, just be ready cause what happens next, what spews from their mouths will not be pretty; it will be very, very ugly

if dems what to hand the rest of the debate over to people drunk with power, lies, obscene usury war-profits, and a culture of death & division...they will be given that opportunity to do so as well.

my hope is that they will rise to this occasion, and bring america back to where she belongs

16. Welcome to DU, lindac07, and thanks for this post.
Wow. Wade really puts it to KKKarl, doesn't he?

And KKKarl certainly deserves what he gets. He took a shot at two decorated war veterans and he got his ass kicked.

Nicely done, Mr. Wade.

26. Kerry & Murtha, two war heros; Rove can't face it
The fat-ass Doughboy isn't even good enough to share space in a newscast with those two guys.
He's feeling his oats right now, so he and Coulter probably will be out on the airwaves non-stop; I'm none too happy about Leno having the skinny hag on his show tonight, but, if you dabble in crap long enough, you're sure to get it on you. Shame on you Jay. :spank: :blush:
I'm embarrassed for you.

36. Another excellent response from Christy Seltzer
of the Senate Majority Project via Atrios

"Unfortunately for the American military, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and their merry band of draft-dodgers won't be with you for the first few bullets, the last tough battles, or anywhere along the way," said Christy Setzer, Communications Director, Senate Majority Project.

on the broadcast shows.
