Who is this Rep. Gene Taylor?
He is ripping Rumsfield a new asshole. He says that he shares in the responsibility for sending these kids to be killed because he voted for the war because he believed in the WMD's He heard from the parents of the soldiers that they had no body armor, from the parents not the committee. He sees a pattern with the administration thatnhe does not like. on and on and on He is good. Mr. Secretary when were you aware of the photographs? "I know you are a smart detailed oriented guy". How did this get by you?

He is a Dem from Mississippi
He is a conservative Dem, very pro-military, but also very honest.

He seems like a really good guy to me; have been watching him for a long time. He always makes good sense.

3. Yes, he's a true fiscal conservative (anti-Bush Tax cuts) and supported...
Wes Clark. Also, while he was campaiging for Clark, Taylor said that while Clark was fighting for America in the Vietcong Delta, Bush was throwing Keg Parties at Yale.

4. I think you all know how gung ho I am about Clark being veep
but I agree give this guy a good hard look. If he is anything at all like he came across today he is awesome. No fear in that man.

6. Folks, I'm from Mississippi-I like Gene Taylor
but he is WAY WAY WAY to conservative to be on the ticket. He doesn't even vote for Gephart each year on the organizational vote-he votes present.

Yes, Gene takes veterans/foreign policy VERY seriously, and he's bright, but he's no potential as veep.

8. Won't wonders never cease
Gene Taylor from Mississippi kicking the warmonger's ass.

Holy Joe from Connecticut conflating 9/11 with Iraq invasion and giving Rummy a pass.

This country is twisted into a pretzel by the neo-cons weird little alliance between fundies and likkudnicks.
