Dean tells truth...most voted for war based on LIES.

[spanone]

This cannot be said enough times.
Russert on meet the press brought up the fact that most democratic senators voted FOR THE WAR.

1. HIs reply about giving the president the benefit of the doubt was great.

Push it back on the liar. As for the chant about how Bush never said Sadam was tied with 9-11 - there is the statement he sent to congress saying that. How can Tim Russet know so little? Doesn't he have a big staff that can actually find these facts?

2. Russert has a hard time hiding his partisanship.

3. I think he was impressed by Dean's responses.

4. Russert was soliciting "My Dad Stories" on

www.Bigtimandme.com (I think this is the right place) Someone who writes for a living should send a great autobiography of the yellow dog Dad! I would but I just couldn't do my Dad justice. He was such a rabid yellow dog, I can't capture the image well enough with my talents.

5. Dean had the perfect opportunity to bring up the Downing St. Memo

and didn't.

6. Agreed. However, His Overall Performance Was Excellent, IMO.My Dad

watched and liked him.

He commented on Dean's willingness to frankly admit a mistake.

My Dad is a GOP voter (who by all rights shouldn't be).

8. I don't think downing street is the smoking gun we want it to be

too much wiggle room for admin.

It is meeting notes, It is somebody's report on what somebody else says is white house policy.

white house just has to say "oh they were wrong'

Apparently though there is more to come in the British memo department. We need to keep pushing it, and pushing the press to dig. . .there is more here. . .

9. Compare it to a smoking gun for sex in the oval office. This and

everything else everyone said about his fixation on Iraq plus everything he did to make sure it happened should put him in prision.

7. Dean came off as a true patriot

"I hate what Republicans are doing to this country"
