Candy "Crawley"s" hit piece on the Dem's
She started off with calling them "Wuss's". I would wager at least one third of our troops in Irag are Democrats.What have the Democrats done in the last 6 years that is so terrible? They have been shut out of writing any new legislation, Thanks to Tom Delay. MSNBC decided to give Tom some air time. Ridiculusly he started off with he had never broken any laws.He said we need to keep Repub., in so we can have low taxes and keep financial restraint in Congress.Mercifully I got the remote in my hand and changed channels.

1. That "financial restraint" comment was like W saying he's not about "stay.....
... the course".

A couple of R's trying to rewrite history. No wonder they're losing some conservatives and independents. People don't like being made fools of.

2. I am just so impressed with the gop financial restraint
Why bush had to take the cost of Iraq out of the budget so Americans wouldn't know the truth. Awesome restraint.

5. I have noticed that her and others...
in the media have been and now more strongly coming out making sure they say what the dems are going to do or aren't going to do. When they discuss this they make the assumption that these are the dems of the 70's and 80's and they are labeling them when they know that the dems have no power, and they are helping them by using racism and sexism. They name all of the blacks that are over heads of committees as though they aren't smart enough or because they are black they shouldn;t be in charge. Why don't they name others who are heads over committees,. Also once the dems win they will be voting and challenging each other for power in the party. Plus the fact that the dems concist of repub lites also and they don't follow the party line if they don't agree.

6. This woman is so biased it's pathetic and if I hear Wolfie give
her any more pats on her ample shoulders, I will scream. Almost every day she seems to be on his "Situation Room" and after her little presentation, he makes some clever comment to the effect that she is probably the best reporter on TV. Her usual theme seems to be that the Dem's are weak, confused, wimpy etc. That is usually my signal to switch from CNN for the next hour.

8. I know!
She is at best a mediocre reporter and she is lauded all the time. If she's their best, CNN is in trouble. And I know as a woman I shouldn't comment on this, but she looks like a fullback in drag. It's disturbing. I know many other very competent female reporters who aren't beauties, but it doesn't matter at all (Helen Thomas). They produce excellence and their integrity is impeccable; they deserve to be where they are. Candy (is this the name for a huge middle-aged woman? Shouldn't she use Candace?) has neither of these qualities, is obviously biased, and so I linger on her appearance.

13. For GOP's image it's all about the "Criminal" factor.
Sheesh, I saw that report, it was horrible.

15. Let's hope, for the Republicans, she's the, um, ample woman who sings.
(I'm female and preggers, so I know the ample side of things. LOL!)

16. Saw that show, I can't believe that a Dem is a
Wuss when the Dem is objecting to War.

That's all Republicans do is start wars.

Never any other answer, the only resort.

At least Dems have more than alternative to war.

I think that war mongers are cowards, never wanting to work out a problem.

19. Yes- I say that about them when it comes to fighting the GOP/media.
Why dont we pressure the Democrats into making a liar out of Crowley as opposed to shifting the focus to individual DUers who have honest criticisms about how we handle (or do not handle) Republican attacks?

Any DUer who says DEMS are weak-kneed are not refering to how we would handle terror or FP, we are refering to how we handle attacks from the GOP/media.

Do some Swing-voters assume we will handle terror the same way we handle GOP/media attacks? GOD-Let's hope not.

Example: Are ANY Democrats with media access going to call out Crowley's bias on camera, or are they going to be wusses about it and let the comment stand? You already know the answer.
