Ed Henry on CNN: Dems offer no plan for Iraq...WTF does he get his news?
Edited on Wed Jun-29-05 02:53 PM by blm
Guess the writers for Inside Politics don't watch Cspan and didn't hear Kerry's plan yesterday on the Senate floor.

Guess the writers for Inside Politics don't read the NYT op ed pages and see Kerry's plan yesterday, titled The Speech that President Bush Should Give
http://www.nytimes.com/auth/login?URI=http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/opinion/28kerry.html&OQ=hpQ3DQ26pagewantedQ3Dprint&OP=649e4738Q2FmQ5171mwo.Xroo,SmSBBYmBQ7EmSQ7BmoLDQ60DoQ60mSQ7Bs7rryQ26v,lQ3C

And the richest part of it is that Kerry also put forth these plans throughout the campaign and during the debates last year, which the media FAILED TO REPORT OR DISCUSS in favor of the Rove-approved storyline that Democrats complain about Bush but have no plan of their own.

1. Someone needs to remind this dufus
that the republican party controls the fedgov right now.

If they can't take advantage of their "mandate" and spend their "political capital", it's their own damn fault.

5. Because that is the only framing Rove will allow.
And even when the actual Dem answer is right in front of their eyes, they still claim it doesn't exist.

17. And when we do give Bush detailed plans he ignores them and the media
ignores them, too.

They won't ALLOW the plans to be discussed because the American people might revolt and put the OTHER guy in as commander-in-chief.

12. I wish they were just stupid. Sadly for democracy, they're complicit with
the fascists and their agenda.

8. Even if we offered no plan,
I'm sick of the rationalization "Well, if you don't have a better plan..."

If your neighbor proposed dealing with a crime problem by suggesting that the city simply burn your neighborhood to the ground, it's entirely reasonable to say, "That plan sucks." There's no room for your neighbor to retort with, "Well, if you can't come up with a better plan..."

10. The democrats are not in power they can't do anything but wait.
What plan could our party put forward about anything that the neo-con majority would pay any attention or could change any damn thing since it would never be implemented? I'm tired of hearing about the democrats not having a plan when the only plan the repukes have with the power to execute is one of total and continuing fucking disaster for our country. Give us another chance and we will get this country back on track just like it was when we left office and the lunatic right took over.

15. Yeah...notice how the fascists keep moving their mouthpieces network to
network. As if they're trying to build up their credentials.
