Reid: 'I Never Said Iraq War Was Lost,' Angle is a "Liar"
Pundit Press ^ | 10/15/10 | Aurelius

Posted on 10/15/2010 8:16:00 AM PDT by therightliveswithus

You know Harry Reid, right? He's an incumbent Democratic Senator who is running for re-election in Nevada. He's facing Sharron Angle, a Republican challenger, who is currently in a dead heat with him. You see, I'm a little confused because there must be another Harry Reid who said the war in Iraq was lost, because this Harry Reid now says he never said that.

According to Reid's campaign site, Republicans and Sharron Angle have lied about his actual quote. On his website, they contain the "real" quote: "The war cannot be won militarily. It can only be won politically." According his campaign, he said that March 3, 2007.

What's more, Reid has taken to Facebook and Twitter to defend his comments, writing that what Ms. Angle says is a "LIE" (yes, he wrote in all capital letters) and that she was making things up.

Well, that's really weird considering that this video here shows Reid saying, quote, "The President knows, this war is lost:"

You know, I could almost swear that he said the war is lost. Especially during the part where he said "this war is lost."

??? Are they going by his whole statement or up to the point where he said the war was lost.. cut off mid sentence? Can’t win militarily, must be won politically? I hate this, when both sides use cut off statements, as he said she said. Its a lot different than saying we can’t win this war, so lets leave now. This can be touchy for swing voters, especially if the race is close. I wouldn’t vote for him regardless, he has more than 2 terms to his credit.

Reid’s election is now lost.

Absolutely stupid move on his part.

Prince Harry couldn’t even run that hotel. It’s hard to believe he’s been re-elected so many times and his lying schmuckiness wasn’t detected by the electorate much much sooner.

The sooner he’s a retired private citizen, the better off the country will be.

All of the above and a piece of crap.

That is an insult to crap everywhere. Reid smells worse and at least when there is crap on the ground stuff grows. With 17% unemployment nothing is growing in Nevada.

I agree. The Ad should start out with her quoting him as saying “This War is Lost”. Then it should show his rebuttals saying she was lying and what they claim he said, that should be followed by the video of him saying “This War is lost”. That should end the Ad with Sharon saying she approved it.

Not really. The vast majority of voters are rather stupid and have short memories. Unless Mrs. Angle hits them upside the head repeatedly with Reid’s own recorded words, they’ll probably believe Reid.
And of course, there are Reid voters who don’t care if this is a lie...

Off topic, just for laughs (keep this, you’ll need it), Obama’s response to Bush’s last SOTU

I want everyone (when they have time), to watch the last full SOTU from Bush and check out the reactions of the dems.

No, no, no.... You don't understand Harry. It's a cultural thing and depends on the circumstance but as an means to an end... Here is the word for the day:
  •  e·quiv·o·cate Verb   /iˈkwivəˌkāt/
    Synonyms:
    • equivocated past participle;   equivocates 3rd person singular present;   equivocating present participle;   equivocated past tense
    • Use ambiguous language so as to conceal the truth or avoid committing oneself
      • “Not that we are aware of,” she equivocated

Script: “was he lying then?” [play video / audio of ‘war is lost”] “or is he lying now” [play video / audio of denial]? Call Harry Reid at 212-555-5555 and ask him how he can be trusted.”

The operative point here is not that he lied, it is that he knows he can lie and the press will back him up. When socialism has a more secure grip on us, those videos will go down Winston’s memory hole, along with anyone who dares to bring it up...

Of course, this is the same man who claims that paying income tax is voluntary . . . http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CBcQtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DR7mRSI8yWwg&ei=53O4TLnmLInHnAfb-62vDQ&usg=AFQjCNHDqoHEOC6I_NPs2ZIetNf0QzlEIQ&sig2=R71Enivwkuc3t6w-IFxTYA

They should have his voice and video keep repeating him saying “ the war is lost “ ..... while you have a voice over talking about Dirty Harry’s record and out right lying and his very own denying that he said that the war is lost, and at the end, the voice over says “ can we trust this man who even lies blatantly in your face ? “ ....
