The demos fight each other. At the end of this article, you will find the names of all the demo candidates and links to each of their positions. I know Iowa is a peace loving state...I cannot imagine this Dean message is acceptable to demos in NYC or Wash DC. msnbc.com ASSOCIATED PRESS DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 17 — Democrat Howard Dean, in a close battle with Dick Gephardt in Iowa, takes his rival to task for backing President Bush on the war against Iraq in the most targeted television ad by a presidential candidate to date. The 30-second spot, at a cost of $250,000 over a seven-to-10-day period, is the first commercial of the presidential campaign to criticize an opponent by name on a hot-button issue. USING PHOTOS of Gephardt in the White House Rose Garden with Bush, Dean questions Gephardt’s work with the Bush administration in drafting the congressional resolution authorizing the president to use force in Iraq, and Gephardt’s support for the $87 billion for rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan. “October 2002, Dick Gephardt agrees to co-author the Iraq war resolution — giving George Bush the authority to go to war,” the ad says. “A week later, with Gephardt’s support, it passes Congress. Then, last month, Dick Gephardt votes to spend $87 billion more on Iraq.” “Howard Dean has a different view,” the ad says. Dean then says, “I opposed the war in Iraq, and I’m against spending another $87 billion there.” The ad follows a mailing sent last week criticizing Gephardt for his position on the war in Iraq, including his support for the resolution and the aid package.

The last time it was just Tea. And it continues to amaze me how Americans could just dump it, when it had $$$ values attached to it. They covered up the real story. Boston Harbor, 1774: two figures huddle on the deck of a cargo ship there in the darkness… (Loud splash) Charlie: Whoops! Union Steward: Geeez, Charlie, ya knocked that whole load of tea in the water there! Charlie: Well, I miscalculated with the block and tackle, that’s all. Union Steward: Yeah, well, I mean you blew it-you missed the whole deck there! Charlie: Yeah, well, maybe nobody’ll notice. Union Steward: Whaddya mean? There’s tea floating all over the place. How can I go and demand an hourly increase for you guys with fringe--- Charlie: Yeah, yeah, well- Union Steward: --No, no, with fringe benefits and all that if my men keep knocking stuff overboard? Charlie: Well, well, I’m-uh-sorry. Union Steward: Sorry doesn’t do-uh-any good, Charlie. Now I’ll cover for you this time, Charlie, but let’s get our story straight. Charlie: Good, good, good, good… Union Steward: Now a bunch of those patriot guys came sneaking around dressed in, uh- Charlie: How about in Indian suits? Union Steward: That’s good, in Indian suits. They were a little loaded, and they shoved the tea over ‘cause they were sore about the tea tax. Charlie: Uh, okay…You think anybody’ll swallow that? Union Steward: Well, it’s just wild enough, Charlie. Charlie: Gee, look at it swirling around down there. I wonder where we could find a fortune teller that reads harbors?
