Michael, many of us in Florida want Howard Dean and the Rules Committee tomorrow to stand up and not let Florida bully them with threats.

We are disgusted with Florida. 5 party congressional leaders have threatened to sue Governor Dean and the DNC if they abide by the DNC rules. Two of the 5 are co-chairs for Hillary and a third has endorsed. The state chair is with them, you know the state chair who lobbies with a Republican firm while getting paid by the party 100,000 a year for being chair.

We are furious. The leader of this deal is Bill Nelson who votes against us on everything.

Florida Dems threaten Dean with investigation...would most likely be Gonzales office.

Our honest decent chairman being threatened with an investigation by a man like Gonzales.

Florida is greedy. DNC needs to stand their ground. Our party here often does not speak for the majority of the people....they just have louder voices.

How Would an unfortunate terror attack during next year's election sway you to vote? -----> http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=384

Are we ready to answer to that question.

Then we'll sue them back if they go after Dean it will be an ugly fight but we bloggers must defend our chairman and put a stop on these conservative dems who will break the law the DNC installed.

You guys amaze me how you vote, but to each his own.

Do you really need an article or a statement from someone to tell you how to vote if there is another attack? By the way, if any of you have any brains at all, THERE WILL BE ANOTHER ATTACK FOR INAUGERATION DAY, in Jan 2009. You can take that to the bank. So get yourselves ready for it. Why do I know, well, easy. Look at Iraq when they were trying to stop the voters there, but more recently, look at the UK when Tony Blair was leaving office. So, unless YOU have blinders on, prepare for the uninviteable.

Also even here in the states, look what Al Quaeda did in 93 when Clinton first came in to power. The first attack on the WTC. Then Bush came into power, 8 months later 9/11. So you heard it here first on your own website. It will happen

The law the DNC dems installed? Don't tell me nine months after the election you guys are starting to bicker amoungst yourselves and starting to crumble? Is this truly what America Needs?

I just read a summary of a Washington Post article dated 8/29 that Bush will ask for
50 BILLION DOLLARS for the Iraq offensive.

As demands increase for a troop withdrawal from Iraq, the Bush administration is cranking up the rhetoric and accusations against Iran, some of which have already been proven baseless by our own intelligence. In his speech before the American Legion Bush spewed every mushroom-cloud adjective he could against Iran, trying everything he could read to produce another frenzied, irresponsible war dance. Who will eat it up this time? I hope I am wrong, but Congress needs to be prepared and not underestimate what these people will do to accomplish their goals.

I have a horrible feeling that the surge is there to be used for some impulsive move against Iran, using Iraq as the staging base. And the call for 50 billion dollars will be used for what? Israel and Saudi Arabia are also being militarily fortified by the United States.

If we are on the verge of withdrawing the troops from Iraq, we will probably see the Bush Administration stepping up its provocations in the region while the troops are still on the ground, while the money is flowing, while the weapons are in place, and while he thinks he can start any war anywhere without the consent of Congress.

Will Congess please examine the accusations thoroughly this time, knowing the Bush-Cheney administration's amoral penchant to float misinformation to further their objectives? According to the Los Angeles Times, Iran is cooperating with the IAEA, and this information must be analyzed and verified because the White House talking points are referring to Iran as developing nuclear weaponry, not the production of nuclear power, although it could lead to a potential for weaponry. There is a difference, and it does need to be carefully monitored by the IAEA. In the haste to invade Iraq, the IAEA oversight of Iraq's nuclear capabilities was ridiculed as incompetent, and we will probably hear this again.

Ridicule is a favorite, effective tool used by the Bush Administration to marginalize its critics.

Congress must be prepared this time, and warn this administration now against generating further chaos, and come up with a plan to prevent unilateral moves by the executive branch.
