6. I do not understand your question. sorry can you explain.

[Egalitariat]

15. I think he's saying that only Dems can effectively play the race card...

it's like one of those backhanded complements. We get accused of playing the race card alot, and this is his way of slapping us with that.

is right off of KKKarls fax machine...Bush used it first on AF1 this afternoon.....picked up and mouthed endlessly by Tweety and now a Repub strategist.

this will be KKKarl's holding pattern until he can threaten and bully congress.

11. Good luck. Won't fly. Nice try. That will only help make it worse.

Say thank you to this "strategist"

[rodeodance]

16. gee, what a heated debate.

[ewagner]

23. You know what's ironic about this?

Bush has been subtly playing race against race in the whole "terror" thing and now it's coming back to bite him...

how?

He has incited and inflamed this hatred within his base, and now it is so ingrained that it can't be put back in the bottle.

leading the opposition.

27. geesh-on a Sun Talk show Frist said all was well-agreed with the sale.

[Dr Fate]

22. The Repub base & many moderates do not MIND anti-Arab racism.

This talking point will fall flat- half the people concerned about this dont CARE if there is a racist element- the other half knows it is GOP B.S.

out there with the veto threat.

[rodeodance]

34. saying seems like Bush did not know of the uproar outside of WH when

he want out there and threatened the veto.

Te he-there is that bubbble again.

[peanutbrittle]

33. The best thing I heard from Boxer was

that she specifically discussed the John Snow conflict and the Sanborn issue...laying it out there for everyone to hear

[rodeodance]
