Do what you can, with what you have, where you are ~ Theodore Roosevelt…

All politicians lie; we make them do it. Those that fail to tell us the lies we want to hear end up not getting elected.

Oh and just one more thing, why can’t some of you stay on topic?

I don’t have to agree with everyone who endorses my candidacy. They are supporting my candidacy. I am not endorsing some of their positions. . . .

And I am very proud of the Pastor John Hagee’s spiritual leadership to thousands of people and I am proud of his commitment to the independence and the freedom of the state of Israel. That does not mean that I support or endorse or agree with some of the things that Pastor John Hagee might have said or positions that he may have taken on other issues.

As has been noted many times, most recently today by Matt Yglesias, Hagee’s so-called “commitment to Israel” actually means that he wants Israel united so that the Rapture can happen and all Jews, including Israelis, will be slaughtered and sent to hell. And the “spiritual leadership” which McCain heralds consists of calling the Catholic Church the “Mother Whore” and a “cult” and arguing that Hurricane Katrina, which resulted in the devastation of tens of thousands of lives, was God’s punishment against New Orleans because it scheduled a gay pride parade that week.

The MSM conveniently evades such issues, when it involves McCain and a RW preacher. Giving McCain a free ride like they gave bush.

Sounds like he is unable to judge someone’s character.

another anti-democratic party comment from Phillip Brownlee.

gee who wouldda thought that could happen ???

bth, so you are pointing your rifle in another direction?

Sorry, but that is not what I meant by “cover”.
At least not with a little more background for me to consider. If you want to make a comparison that is.

But don’t look for me to defend McClame. He isn’t on my shopping list either. I want something a little more new.

The story the politicans tell is called “cover”.
They do it all the time. Both republicans and
democrats. As long as we have had a congress, we have had congress people looking for cover. It’s built into almost every bill.

But of course, we don’t want to hold people responsible for what they sign (or vote on). Not much different than those people forced to sign for those sub-prime loans.

Products of public education?

And now the Phantom performs the shuffle, mixed with a little running flaps, and sugar. A pretty good hoofer – look at those legs moving across the floor.

A joint resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq

That’s BS bth. You even confirmed it.

Those in office KNOW very well that their power is limited to the words on the measure. That’s why most of the time, they seem to spin their wheels getting the LANGUAGE of a bill just right.

Hillary Clinton voted to go to war. She now should face the responsibility for her actions.

Waiting for you to continue tap-dancing bth.

Measure Title: A joint resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq.

but, but it MUST say……?

Nope:

Measure Title: A joint resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq.

but, but I was lied to……?

Nope:

Measure Title: A joint resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq.

but, but we thought Bushy was just being mean??

Nope:

Measure Title: A joint resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq.

Hillary Clinton, using her power as a United States Senator, knew FULL WELL, that the measure she voted AYE on – “authorized the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq.

SHE HELPED commit our men and women to mortal combat. She used her authority to authorize.

She could have voted NAY with the others.

but, but shi-.

Sorry bth, Hillary “did” vote to go to war. It doesn’t say any of the happy horseshi- you posted:

(read the title of the measure. No apology needed. We know it’s the season for any reason. Apparently, it isn’t just Hillary who is a liar.)

“As for the Iraq War – Hillary Clinton’s big mistake was in entrusting Bush with the decision. Never dod she vote to go to war. the authorization was to bring pressure to force saddam to allow inspectors back in and to give them unfettered access. And it succeeded in doing that.”

And yes, she HAS voted to provide our troops with funding. She is presented with a ‘damned if you do damned if you don’t’ Hobb’s Choice.

Has anyone every noticed that morbidly obese people tend to wear flip flops?

And when she was co-President, she lobbed several missiles at Iraq, and co-President Bill also claimed Iraq had WMD’s and that Hussein had to go.

Go ahead and re-write history though.

The tough decisions, like The Buck, stops with The People.
