		<description>&quot;Redistricting in Texas was so abnormal that it was worthy of a Supreme court challenge. I don t think you ll see the MD GOP in the Supreme court. &quot;

HAH!

So you&#039;re saying that having polls open longer only in predominantly Democratic districts isn&#039;t abnormal?

You&#039;re flippin&#039; hilarious. But hey keep trying to come up with a good talking point for that one.

By the way- I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if that little piece of work isn&#039;t slapped down by a court somewhere. Equal access- not extra equal access for Democrats. Either give everybody the same opportunity for a few extra days to vote or nobody. (Imagine how you would howl if it were the other way around.)

		<description>Actually, scratch, the claim is not that Bush said that Saddam caused 9/11, the claim is that Bush linked Saddam and 9/11, and then did nothing to discredit the American assumption that Saddam was in some way responsible until long after we&#039;d gone to war. A not insignificant number of troops over in Iraq still believe that going into the country was &lt;i&gt;payback&lt;/i&gt; for 9/11.

As for the tired canard that we went into Iraq to handle a &quot;deadly threat&quot;--I&#039;m sure this explains why we had to invade a hostile country with no nuclear weapons and why we still feel we can negotiate with North Korea.

		<description>fine OW, then why not pound him on his stance on the ISSUES, instead of trying to paint him as a Bushbot.

The man is trying to run an issues based campaign, and the democrats are trying to run a mud-slinging campaign based on innuendo..

Like I said though, a culture of corruption those democrats....

		<description>BD...

&lt;i&gt;&quot;There&#039;s no question that Saddam Hussein had al Qaeda ties,&quot; the president said. But he also said, &quot;We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the Sept. 11&quot; attacks. &lt;/i&gt;  -George Bush, 9/17/2003

Maybe you call 6 months &quot;long after,&quot; but now it&#039;s been over three years and the charge is still being made.

The only consistent point made by Bush regarding 9/11 and Saddam is that the former suggested to us that we should deal decisively with the latter...and we have.

		<description>Steele&#039;s credit record was improperly obtained. It was not released. The people responsible were fired and sent into the legal system. Again, if Steele supports Bush&#039;s policies, if he&#039;s taking money Bush and Cheney raise for him, does he get to absolve himself of Bush simply by saying so? No.

Redistricting in Texas was so abnormal that it was worthy of a Supreme court challenge. I don&#039;t think you&#039;ll see the MD GOP in the Supreme court.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Read any and all statements/releases/etc. from Democrats regarding Steele, and see how many mention Bush in the same sentence. You just did it yourself.&lt;/i&gt;

Is this the same way that Bush mentioning Iraq, Saddam, and 9/11 in the same sentences doesn&#039;t mean that the President meant to link Saddam to 9/11?

		<description>BD...

The President does indeed link Saddam with 9/11, in terms of how the latter showed us the need to deal with threats before they culminate in deadly attacks.  This is very different from saying that Saddam is RESPONSIBLE for 9/11--a claim that I never heard the President make but which is nevertheless attributed to him endlessly by the left.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If he doesn t want to defend his record and his positions, he should get out of the race.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

... or we will release his credit record.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;We re not  linking  Steele to Bush.&lt;/i&gt;

Read any and all statements/releases/etc. from Democrats regarding Steele, and see how many mention Bush in the same sentence.  You just did it yourself.

		<description>&quot;The GOP could have been involved in the haggling over early voting if they hadn t walked out. &quot;

Funny- you could say the same thing about redistricing in Texas.

		<description>It&#039;s very simple, Oliver.  Linking Steele to Bush is &quot;part of the game for Democrats.&quot;  Running on a positive, Bush-free message is part of the game for Steele and his Republican team.  But I know that you know this.

		<description>The GOP could have been involved in the haggling over early voting if they hadn&#039;t walked out.

We&#039;re not &quot;linking&quot; Steele to Bush. Steele, as the picture above shows, is clearly linked to Bush. If he wants to embrace Bush&#039;s policies and take the money Bush and Cheney raise for him -- he can&#039;t run away from the connection.

		<description>Are you talking about the special rules that would open up selected Maryland polling places early in heavily Democratic areas to give people more time rally their friends and neighbors and improve turnout among Democrats?

Yeah- I heard about that. Some legislature you have there in Maryland.
