#1 I already sent e-mail to the White House stating my support for Rumsfeld and asking Bush to keep him. You should too.

#2 Yep, did so Saturday. Rantburgers already know how to do this, of course, but for those who don't: be polite and be REALLY brief. They're read by a staffer who simply counts 'em up.

#3 I did as well last Fri, but, I did one better.
Since, in California, I have no senators I trust.
(I don't need a "Fortney"-call) I Emailed the seantors nearest to me geographically who might be sympathetic to my suggestion. After Teddy's rant today, I emailed Ensign of NV, Kyl and McCain of AZ about censuring the Chappaquiddick lush. Now John McCain is a wild-card (Who knows what he is thinking), but I think the idea must have crossed Kyl's mind if not Ensign's . . .

#4 When Senator Dole was running for President, pukes like Kerry successfully demanded he resign from the US Senate. Kerry needs to follow Senator Dole's lead, show his determination and commitment to become president, allow the people of MA to be represented in the Senate as Kerry jerks off on the campaign trail, and RESIGN from the US Senate too. Of course, the dominant democrat party news media is not going to HOUND Kerry out of office like they hounded Senator Dole. Nor will the democrats' lapdogs in the news media hound the Secretary out of office. As for leadership qualities, Secretary Rumsfeld's last bowel movement no doubt had more of the right stuff to be President than does Kerry.

#5 Yeah, I was on the take to Enron. And when their Texas book-cooking was uncovered, I turned on my old cash cows because the American people need to think that their President is a moral person, if need be. And that's what I am, if you believe me. Quagmire accomplished.

#6 Amazing. Kerry demands that Rumsfield take direct responsiblity for actions done god knows how many levels below him, while Kerry won't take direct responsiblity for what he said last week, Teddy ran from the responsibility for Mary JO's death before being forced to face up to it, and senators won't take responsiblity for memogate and what their aides do.

I deny that anyone who so brazenly applies what is clearly a double standard has the moral competence to judge their moral betters...

#7 you know, I think they could get two hundred and fifty thousand signatures on a petition calling for the crucifixion of Paul Wolfowitz in the Rose Garden. A presidential campaign indulging in this sort of squalid activist-mongering is frankly baffling to me. Are they *trying* to look like countercultural tools? I thought this was when Kerry was supposed to be running to the centre...

#8 Are they *trying* to look like countercultural tools? I thought this was when Kerry was supposed to be running to the centre...

Politically, he can't start lying to all voters about his true beliefs until after the convention. Things are in too much flux for the left. Kerry knows that if he starts playing to the center now, the contributions of many of his leftist supporters will drift to Nader, or those folks may well call for a replacement.

#9 2750,00 - You mean they got all Hollywood actors, singers, etc. at drug rehab facilities in such a short time? Outstanding feat.

#10 They are using the issue to raise funds as well...
And to think I grew up in a Democratic household...

#11 275,000 does not a majority make. Besides it's up to Bush. ?What are they going to do? Hate him more?

#12 well, if 2000 = Million Mom March in the press on Sunday, then 275,000 = ummm, let's see, carry the 1,....137.5 Million, which is just over half the US population
ergo, expect to see the headlines on CNNABCNBCPBSCBSLATNYT: "half of US population signs petition ousting Rumsfeld"

#13 take heart. The LLL I know think that Kerry is overplaying his hand on the Rumsfeld issue and can't believe how lame his political acumen and timing is. They are hoping for Hillary or God to come save the day.

just letting you know the local looney's tunes.
