Hillary Takes Credit For "So-Called" Surge Success
Bob Parks: Outside The Wire ^ | 1/25/08 | Bob Parks

Posted on 01/25/2008 12:20:13 PM PST by bocopar

During Thursday night's Republican debate, presidential candidate Mitt Romney said something that angered me a bit...

romney-boca-raton.jpgAnd one more thing. What -- what an audacious and arrogant thing for the Democrats to say, as Hillary Clinton did, that they are responsible for the progress that the surge has seen, by virtue of their trying to pull out so quickly.

Look, the success over there is due to the -- the blood and the courage of our servicemen and women, and to General Petraeus and to President Bush, not to General Hillary Clinton.

No, this time I'm not mad AT Mitt.

I’ve been saying for the last couple of months that the Dems would try and take credit for the surge!

They were for the surge, before they were against it.

American sheep, in general, have short term memory loss. So anything the Dems said as recent as a week ago, has already been purged from their memory.

But don’t question their ‘patriotism’, just ignore that it’s for al-qeda I guess!

The only “surge” Hillary can take credit for is the growing girth of her rear end.

The only surge Hillary can take credit for is the flushing of toilets across the nation a few moments after her mug shows up on the tube.

That’s kinda’ like performing the Heimlich Maneuver on someone who obviously didn’t need it......just because the news cameras were there.

If Democrats can take credit for any success in Iraq it is in their failure to enact troop withdrawals or budget cuts aimed at weakening the war against Islamofacism.

Democrats encouraged terrorists in Iraq to hold on until they gained Congress in 2006 and could end the war. Because most Congressional Democrats lacked the guts to end the war—and Bush stood like a stone wall—they backed down on vote after vote.

How can they possibly take credit for something they all acknowledged on stage at a debate that had not been successful. Only if there was a willing and eagerly pandering and butt-licking (to Democrats) press would that be possible.

Oh.

Looking forward to seeing the democrats get beat about the head for their betrayal of our heroes this election year.

Quote after quote after quote can be used against them.

And these guys are going to have a say too!.......

Mitt also stated during the debate (not exact words) “No one wants to see Bill Clinton back in the White House with nothing to do”

He nailed it last night.
