Fooking Dems. I've eaten mice with bigger balls...


GORE MAY GALVANIZE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT
But he has to keep speaking out!

WASHINGTON (Reuters ) - A fierce attack on the Harken Halfwit's Iraq policy issued by Al Gore could help galvanize U.S. opposition to a new Gulf war while serving as a launching pad for Gore's probable 2004 presidential campaign, analysts said on Tuesday.

In a speech in San Francisco on Monday, the man who actually won the presidency laid out a scathing critique of Bush's Iraq policy.

Pollster John Zogby said Gore's message was "very well timed."

"Gore stepped in just as it appeared that pro-war sentiment would go virtually unchallenged in Congress and in the country," Zogby said. "There will be an anti-war movement that grows out of this."

The pink-tutu'd Democrats in the U.S. Congress, acutely aware the mid-term elections that will decide control of both houses of Congress are only six weeks away, have been wary of speaking out against Bush on Iraq. Their main tactic has been to roll onto their backs like submissive little try to change the subject to domestic issues, but with scant success.

Only around 52 percent of Democrats support the war, leaving Gore giving a voice to a substantial constituency within his own party, many frustrated with the timidity of their congressional leaders, who seem to have been either neutered or lobotomized. Or, in some cases, both.

"Gore is trying to present himself as the only Democrat with backbone and the guts to take on the president," said Tom DeLuca, a political scientist with Fordham University in New York. Well, it shouldn't be too hard. Here's a link to today's chapter of When Democrats Cower : 'our new tutus are here!'.
