"It is regrettable that Senator Kennedy has chosen Veteran's Day to continue leveling baseless and false attacks that send the wrong signal to our troops and our enemy during a time of war. It is also regrettable that Senator Kennedy has found more time to say negative things about President Bush then he ever did about Saddam Hussein. If America were to follow Senator Kennedy's foreign policy, Saddam Hussein would not only still be in power, he would be oppressing and occupying Kuwait."
- Scott McClellan, White House Press Secretary
Sen. Kennedy On Iraq
Sen. Kennedy Said Saddam Hussein Was Developing WMDs: "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." (Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Remarks At The Johns Hopkins School Of Advanced International Studies, Washington, D.C., 9/27/02)
Sen. Kennedy: "Saddam Hussein Is A Dangerous Figure. He's Got Dangerous Weapons." (CBS' "Face The Nation," 10/6/02)
Sen. Kennedy Now Says The President Manipulated Facts About Iraq's WMDs: "'Instead of providing open and honest answers about how we will achieve success in Iraq and allow our troops to begin to come home,' Kennedy said, 'the president reverted to the same manipulation of facts to justify a war we never should have fought.'" (Deb Riechmann, "Bush Forcefully Attacks Critics Of The War In Iraq," Associated Press, 11/11/05)
Sen. Kennedy Opposed Removing Saddam Hussein From Kuwait. (S.J.Res.2, CQ Vote #2: Adopted 52-47: R 42-2; D 10-45, 1/12/91, Kennedy Voted Nay)
Sen. Kennedy Opposed Removing Saddam Hussein From Power. (H. J. Res. 114, CQ Vote #237: Passed 77-23: R 48- 1; D 29-21; I 0-1, 10/11/02, Kennedy Voted Nay)
That fat drunken Bolshevick turd could't remember what he said last week, let alone 2-3 years ago. LOL!

This book exposes libs who preach against tax cuts, oil companies etc. and yet, they themselves are knee deep using loop holes to avoid paying taxes themselves and have their money invested in oil companies. They want to distribute everyone else's money, but NOT theirs!
Total hypocrites!
Sadly, the people who NEED to read it to have their eyes opened, won't.
Excellent quote. Out of the park!

And he should know what he's talking about. After former Ohio Cong. Clement Vallandigham gave yet another speech critical of the US effort to win the Civil War and appease the rebels of the South, Lincoln commuted a prison sentence proscribed by a military court and banished Vallandigham to the South.
Do you think we could send Teddy to Syria or Iran?
The president has been given full power under the Constitution. The only reason there has been no declaration of war is because there is no organized country to DECLARE AGAINST. But he has fulfilled his constitutional obligation to get congressional approval.
Kennedy has no soul. It has been quenched with whiskey and whores. In that sense, he has more in common with Saddam than most in America.
When will Massachusetts ever wake up?
Gadzooks! He looks like a caricature of himself. Was that pix photoshopped?
Not at all!! That is just as the camera captured him!
I made the mistake of listening to the audio of that on XM while driving home tonight. I thought I was going to have to pull over to the side of the road to puke over and over again. They think they're so clever and witty.
Earlier I caught the last part of Chris Matthews interview with Mary Mapes. That went just like I figured it would. I'm surprised Matthews didn't propose to her after he was finished doing (I mean interviewing) her. Kristen Breitweiser must be so jealous now.
President Bush and the Republican establishment need to understand that the American Left (The intellectuals, the media and their stooges, the Democrats) will respond to pressure just like their idiological brethren, the Islamists. The strong horse will prevail.
This came straight from the WH, eh? They should know better than to do this on a Friday night, but it is better than nothing.
Could you imagine the terror she must have felt when she realized this low life is actually going to let me die to save his own political skin?
We, the American people, reelect scum. Too many of us are stuck on stupid and unfortunately are too apathetic to keep a good thing going.
Bush/Kennedy interactions go back to before WWII, and W's grandfather Prescott was Sen. from CT concurrently with JFK. The inner workings of these families are even more interesting since GHWB became a prominent Texan during the LBJ era (with it's own interaction with the Kennedy family). Sounds like an idea for a nice book ... perhaps already written for all I know. Heat of the moment politics would color any current interpretation, so I would like to read the history of all this about 50 years from now (not likely). Still, it remains a fact that the victor gets to write the history. So, GO W!
In 1863, soldiers arrested, tried and found guilty Democratic Sen. Clement L. Vallandigham of Ohio for violating Army orders against public expressions of Confederate sympathies. He had denounced the War and the Administration at home and in Congress. President Abraham Lincoln banished Vallandigham to rebel territory. He returned and appealed the action in the Supreme Court.
Vallandigham, Clement
(1820-71), politician. Vallandigham, a Democrat, represented Ohio in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1857 to 1863. An opponent of federal policy during the Civil War, he became a leader of the Peace Democrats, or Copperheads, in the North. Vallandigham opposed Abraham Lincoln's Civil War policies and advocated compromise with the South, leading to his imprisonment in 1863. Lincoln ordered his release and banishment to the Confederacy. Escaping to Canada and eventually to Ohio, Vallandigham never regained political stature.
E.D. let Mapes play the victim, and didn't ask one hard question. She did help her sell her book, however.
