WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House of Representatives Democratic leader
Richard Gephardt said on Wednesday Republican sale of a Sept. 11 photo
of President Bush (news - web sites) to raise campaign money risked
jeopardizing bipartisanship on the war on terrorism.
At the same time, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, an Illinois
Republican, expressed surprise at the sale and distanced himself from
it, noting the Republican Party would probably think twice before
doing it again given the furor that has erupted.
The sale is part of a party fund-raising effort for the November
mid-term elections. Democrats complained it appeared Republicans were
trying to take advantage of a national tragedy to raise money.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer (news - web sites) attempted to
put some distance between Bush and the Republican Party over the
photo, saying "nobody in the White House knew that those specific
pictures were
He said the White House did not object to use of the photo as part of
a $150 package, but that the decision over whether to use it did not
reach the level of Bush political adviser Karl Rove and that it was
"safe to say" party officials will get White House approval next time
they use pictures.
Gephardt, a Missouri Democrat, said real progress has been made on the
war on terrorism as Democrats and Republicans have set aside
traditional differences and worked together.
"The question about the picture, it is a disappointment because we
cannot break into partisan fighting about the war on terrorism," he
told reporters.

hey dumb fuck, at the time the photo was taken Daschle wasn't aware that
bush knew about the attacks BEFORE they occurred and did nothing except
run away to texas until he was sure that he was safe. if he had know,
this photo would be of daschle kicking the little shit heads ass.
is this picture for sale. is Daschle using the murder of 3000 americans
to raise money for the democratic party? No? shut the fuck up, your
fearful leader is a murderer. 3000 dead americans many thousands of dead
Afghanis , all for a pipeline.

your boy ran to texas , your boys vp ran to Wyoming, all the time
knowing an attack was coming. then after 3000 americans are dead he
pretends to be a hero and exploits these murders for money.
typical.
I really feel sorry for you and Begala, Willie.
Nothing else is working, is it?

Hey, "dumb fuck", try checking up on the
facts. Bush was told there could be an
attack. Every president has been told there
could be a serious attack. No one told Bush
that the WTC was going to be crashed into
by terrorists in jet airliners, now did they?
Of course not. To call Bush a murderer is
one hell of a stretch and reflects your insecure
and extremely limited intelligence and over
active paranoia.

You have a serious problem. You might consider

Nope...there is no evidence to support your
ridiculous statements. But, you go ahead and
believe what you want and have all of the
Gorgasms you want thinking you have found
something to hold over Bush, but you will be
sadly disappointed as to the outcome.
Bush never ran or hid from anything. He was
following standard protocol. Look into it.
I'm serious about the mental health issue.
Look into it before you find yourself in a
tower somewhere with a sniper rifle and
scope shooting conservatives.

you need to pry your lips off bushes ass long enough to get some facts.
you need to get your news somewhere other then fox or rush. bush knew.
the fbi knew. the cia knew. bush ran. cheney ran. ashcroft stopped
taking commercial flights. then they all sat back and waited for it to
happen.
why did bush call off the bin laden investigations? bush knew.

we'll find out soon enough wont we? the recent fbi memo seems to
indicate he was told they would be using planes to attack the towers.
why did bush hide this info from us? why did he issue an internal alert
but not increase airport security?
bush knew. bush wanted a pipeline. bush wanted a reason to attack
Afghanistan. the troops and carrier groups were in place BEFORE 911.
bush knew. the bush administration threatened the Taliban with war if
they would not agree to the pipeline. they wouldn't. bush needed and
excuse for an invasion. he got it by allowing the attack to occur. I
don't think he knew how devastating the attack would be but he knew it
was going to happen.

to try to justify the actions and inactions of a man who allowed the
murder of 3000 americans to facilitate the construction of a pipeline
reflects your inability to think and to reason. it shows your undying ,
unquestioning loyalty to anything that is republican. it reflects your
lack of integrity and your hypocrisy. bush allowed those people to die.
he pretended he knew nothing while hiding on his ranch in texas.

I'm pretty sure Bush was in Florida when the planes crashed into the
WTC. But hey, you're not here to present facts, right? You're just another
Bush-bashing liar, right, numbnuts? So I won't even bother asking for your
'proof' that Bush knew the attack was coming.
> typical.
Yup. Typical.

CBS Radio is reporting that Congress also got the same security briefing.
Apparently Daschle and Gephardt knew about the attack also; but, instead of
admitting it, they have chosen to exploit a phony controversy for campaign
contributions.
The gloves are off now. I'm contributing as much money and time as I can to
make sure that you bastard Democrats are tossed from any government
authority.

Well, your rat-shit, coke-snorting, deserter/appointee IS a fucking
