The Cellar - View Single Post - I just called Tom Daschle an idiot on national TV!

Yeah, we know that the Democrats are salivating at the moment...looking to steal any thunder from Dubya's Feel Good Ride. They're desperate at the moment, and I don't like the fact that they're pouncing on this so quickly. Hindsight is 20/20, and it would be easy to say now that this could have been prevented. Could it have? Possibly, but IMO unlikely. By the same token, I think if the Dems were currently in power, the Republicans probably would have done the same thing. It's all about politics, baby!

I generally can't stand the Rev. Al Sharpton, but he made a good point on Hardball last night: We need to know everything that happened before we jump to any conclusions.

The publicity in the past few days is what has really scared me. What I don't like is that it SEEMS TO ME like the White House is trying to stress that it's wrong to question the administration. I think Dubya overall has done a good job in handling the entire 9/11 aftermath, along with his administration. But even if Dubya's hands are clean on this (and I'd say that they probably are), I'm not THAT confident in the leadership to the point where I would trust them blindly.
