Jack Reed (D) RI did well |
|
He pointed up the glaring lack of a plan for either "success" or conclusion in Iraq..

6. Pretty good on the Bush attack. |
|
He did not mince his words.
The plan, however, was lacking of any notion of timeline, deadline, or any other word suggesting how long this would take in their plan. I imagine this was not the place, though.

7. He did better than Bush. He hit on things people care about |
|
I give him a B because I wanted him to hit on Bush's bogus stats.

8. I hated the Democratic response. |
|
Al qaida our enemy? We are still playing by Bush rules. We are still arguing Republican talking points.
AL QAIDA IS THE LEAST OF OUR PROBLEMS. MORE AMERICANS DIE FROM LACK OF HEALTHCARE, OR WAITING FOR THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES TO PAY UP. We have a city destroyed and not rebuilt. We have the food we eat and the toys we buy for our children poisoning us. We are NOT ready for climate change.
And our people are losing their jobs.
We have more important things to do than murder Muslims.

11. Nothing else will get done until this war is over one way or the other. |
|
I thought this was a strong rebuttal speech.

16. So why no reminder of what was not getting done? |
|
We're arguing on Georgie's terms, not our own. Let him play catch up to us, not the other way around.

13. The speech was meant to be strictly a rebuttal to Bush's. |
