Folk Plus Setlist for Saturday January 31, 2004
Political comments from this week insurted between musical comentary
from contemporary folk music.
1. John Edwards:
"This president thinks that his presidency is only about the war on
terrorism, only about national security. Those things are critical for
a commander in chief but as we are going to talk about more, going forward,
there’s a lot the president
not doing, about jobs lost about a health care crisis in this country.
The president of the United States has to be able to walk and chew chewing
gum at the same time, has to be able to do two things at the same time.

5. Wesley Clarke:
Before we had our allies on board, he took us to war. Before we had
a plan as to what we would do when we got to Baghdad and he took us to
war without the adequate forces to deal with the aftermath that’s not patriotic,
that’s bad
leadership.

When she was on trial for protesting the draft during WWi, something
she'd always done and was now labelled as conspiring...."You charge us
with conspiring as if it were a secret plot - to do what we have been doing
openly for most of our lives, campaigning against war, militarism, conscription.

she must first make democracy safe in America"

stop the bleeding and work together with business and workers to create
a whole new generation of jobs"

We have a strong organization everywhere, right through the 19th of
March in Illinois. So we've got good people. What we've done is to reach
out to the 50% of the people who don't vote in this country because they
can't tell the difference between the democarats and the republicans particularly
at election time and give them a reason to vote and that is the only thing
that is going to beat George Bush.

with the fact that 75,000 people lost their jobs in South Carolina. There
are people that I can bring in to the process that wont come in if someone
like me is not in the
process. They ought to want all of us stay in and bring our constituency
to the table rather than try to eliminate"
