Allright, you "DNC Happy Talk" Bashers.. Tell me Carter isn't Tearing Bush

[Warren DeMontague]

A New one over Iraq right now.

Mentioning Truman & Ike-- "men who met their military obligations with HONOR"

"Who would not lead Americans into battle in wars of CHOICE"

[tabasco]

1. I had a feeling this was going to happen!

I love Jimmy and I knew he would call a spade a spade! He's hammering Bush! Go Jimmy!

[Spiffarino]

4. Typical Jimmy

Tellin' it like it is. You da man.

[earthside]

2. Oh, Yeah!!!!

Go! Jimmy, go!

[cal04]

5. Did he mention * name?

no. It can't be called a personal attack when they stay away from the nominal can it?

I am proud of these Dems for saying what needs to be said without offering any red meat to the pukkkes.

[bbqshoes]

17. Exactly. You don't need to wave the bloody shirt

to get yer point across. He's doing an admirable job right now.

[newyawker99]

22. Hi bbqshoes!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Mortos]

6. Go Jimmy Go!!!

You have more integrity in your little finger than the entire Bush administration. Kick their asses, Mr. President.

[Rowdyboy]

7. And so will all the speakers! Thee will be PLENTY of criticism

of Bush and his administration. They didn't say "Don't criticise", they said "Don't bash".

Its not necessary to call Bush an evil baby-killer to get your point across.

[thebigidea]

13. to the RW, criticism IS bashing.

Maybe the directive goes along the lines of: "Say what you want, but don't mention Bush by name."

[AFSCME girl]

8. Does he rock or what?!...........

:headbang: He is kicking butt!!!!

[theivoryqueen]

9. with a smile and gracious wit

he is indeed offering a reasoned criticism of bushieboy.

[eleny]

10. Speaking softly and carrying a heavy hammer!

[freetobegay]

11. Carter is like a fine wine

Only gets better with time!

[lottie244]

Jimmy's the man. He is saying what Kerry should say but can't

He has just delivered the most important speech of the convention. Only one with guts.

[truthspeaker]

24. correction: what Kerry should say but THINKS he can't

[Spiffarino]

12. He is taking the moral high ground

...away from the Repubs. This has to continue. Don't give an inch, Jimmy!!

[Samantha]

14. Listen between the lines

It's nuanced but he is hitting Bush* hard. No holds barred.

Violence has gripped the Holy Land. Anti-American passion is sweeping the lands. This must stop.

This government has made radical departures from its values.

Smacking public panic buttons.

Smacking polarization of country.

We cannot lead if our leaders mislead!

Three strikes from Carter and Bush* is down for the count.

[name not needed]

15. "You can't be a war president one moment,

then a peace president the next, based on what the polls say."

[countmyvote4real]

16. "We cannot lead if our leaders mislead."

I love President Carter.

[Spiffarino]

18. I had forgotten what a terrific orator he can be

I hope a lot of people from all over our country get to see him. What a great man.

[Longhorn]

19. Chills and tears at the same time!

What an amazing man!

[jimshoes]

20. Fantastic!

Way to go President Carter!

[BrewerJohn]

21. "When John Kerry served his country...

he SHOWED UP for duty!"

Bet the Pubs are chasing their tails about now.
Tell it Jimmy!

[nickinSTL]

23. Who would not lead Americans into battle in wars of CHOICE

There was somebody on PBS' coverage talking with Jim Lehrer, who objected to this.

"What is a war of choice?" or something like that.

I swear I wanted to smack the idiot.

A war of choice is the alternative Bush chose, rather than a war of NECESSITY, which is the only kind of war that should EVER be fought.
