eoe, anybody was a quick reply, anyone is better - I don't know that that person has reached the apex yet.
Question is, do we find someone with intergrity or do we find a secretive, lying, schemer like - well, never mind
go for integrity - but not a womanizer <sigh>
Clinton, hmm - how about Hillary?
Neither Hill nor Bill is going to run, and neither will President Gore. There's an excellent thread elsewhere on Democratic candidates so rather than follow the trail of "who" let's return to "why he needs replacing":
"I think the fact that they didn't include funding for the 9/11 Commission -- didn't warn Gov. Kean that they weren't going to include it, didn't return my phone call -- suggests to me that they see this as a convenient way for allowing the commission to fail. They've never wanted the commission and I feel the White House has always been looking for a way to kill it without having their finger on the murder weapon."
-- Stephen Push, a leader of the 9/11 victims' families
Here's a reason I think he needs replacing tomorrow, or sooner:

Yikes, Tartarin............this really scares me. These people's belief that they are right is so powerful, they will do anything in the name of God and a sense of control. Our civil liberties are in grave danger.
And Paul Krugman says, the mistakes are bad and getting worse, bigger:

And the promised report on the defense advisors has come out from the Center for Public Integrity:
Advisors of Influence: Nine Members of the Defense Policy Board Have Ties to Defense Contractors
Of the 30 members of the Defense Policy Board, the government-appointed group that advises the Pentagon, at least nine have ties to companies that have won more than $76 billion in defense contracts in 2001 and 2002. Four members are registered lobbyists, one of whom represents two of the three largest defense contractors...

expect a congressional investigation with MANY resignations.
Dys, if that happens, it will truly be a happy day but I doubt it ever comes to that. Streetcorner hustlers from the getgo, it will be swept under the rug or camoflouged by other matters (like military casualties and POW's) and it will be like it never happened. Didn't someone resign already? That's all you're gonna get.
But I sure hope I'm wrong.
eoe, heard on NPR tonight that it wasn't a resignation, Perle just gave up the Chairmanship.
Lola, It's not that our civil liberties are in grave danger; they have already taken away some of it. Arab Americans are already mistreated by this government, and not a peep from most Americans. c.i.
That certainly ain't new from this administration eoe!

Yeah, let's get people who have nothing to do with defense and let them decide policy.
You got it right, Tres.
(VERY RIGHT!)
if there ain't a buck in it, it ain't patriotic.
The latest polls show that Bush is ahead of any democrat running for the presidency in 2004. So was Bush senior during the middle of Gulf War I. ci
One wonders who they questioned!
The patrons of Bush speeches!

I am afraid they questioned the voting public. I continue to be mystified, amazed and question the intelligence of a voting public who voted for an obvious moron 2000. Why is it so strange to think they will again in 04 and possibly in greater numbers? I have heard it said the masses are asses.
