True...it was a long shot from the get-go. The Dems will also have to deal with losing this war. As my aunt used to say, "they'll work wonders and $hit blunders."
Don’t blame me, then...I voted for Fred in the primary, but once the primary was settled, I have been as supportive of the one carrying our side’s banner.
I have no reason to believe the RATS would do otherwise, and plenty of proof that we have been bamboozled by wishful thinking.
And I hate to admit I have been one of the bamboozled.
BS. What did a Clinton ever do to keep this country safe? Bomb an aspirin factory? Indict a terrorist? And Hillary was right there calling General Petraeus a liar like the rest of her cronies in the Senate. She's no better than Bambi or any other liberal Democrat when it comes to demeaning our military or losing wars. The only thing they care about is power.
The PUMAs realized that if Obama got elected it would improve Hillary’s chances to get a seat on the Supreme Court or set her up for a 2012 run for the White House. They could care less for America. They want to protect their “right” to kill innocent babies. They could care less about family values, they want to push the homosexual agenda. Like I said, thanks for nothing. God save America!
Compared to Obama, my dear. Compare her to Obama and she’s almost tolerable. ;) Of the least of three evils, it’s McCain, Hillary and then Obama.
That's your opinion. But I remember the 8 years we tolerated her and her co-president, and how our national security suffered under them. They're all evil, and not worth the powder to blow them to hell. Had the Republicans not taken over the House in '94, we'd already be suffering with Hillary's nationalized health care and God knows what else. Like I said, Hillary packaged herself as a moderate, but she's just as liberal as Bambi.
If we were going to have an extremely liberal Democrat in the Whitehouse, I'd rather have one that partially understands the problems in Iraq and the concerns with how it affects our troops there instead of the CluelessOne.
Your turn.
Like I said, you are entitled to your opinion of Hillary, and I am entitled to mine. I don't believe she is any different than Bambi when it comes to the military. She and her husband gutted our military during their 8 years, contributed to our soldiers being murdered and dragged through the streets of Mogadishu, were too cozy taking money from, and selling missile secrets to the Chi-Coms, pardoned terrorists and fugitives, and repeatedly welcomed the terrorist, Yasser Arafat to the White House. If it meant political expediency for her, she'd sell the military and us all, down the river. Afterall, it's not as if they haven't done it before.
I don’t deny any of that. But I think that what is different about Hillary is that she still cares what happens to the US, if only for her own personal self interest. I can’t say the same for Obama.
Caring about what happens to the US only if it benefits you, isn't really caring for the US. How does that differ from Bambi?
{Sigh) The concept isn’t difficult to grasp.
Only one thing inaccurate in your post. Clinton with the help of a two house GOP majority finished gutting the military that Poppy Bush had began doing and Clinton continued. Actually we are now still operating a military strength {actual service-members active duty and reserves} same as 1996. The so called adults never sent the additional help.
To make matters worse when W came in he put the very ones who began policies leading to Carter's Hollow Military that began under Ford in charge of it. The Hollow Carter Military began under Ford and Sec of Def Rummy.
: Congress though has the responsibility to provide for the military. As such on that issue the GOP majorities were no better than the DEM's they replaced. For example the carrier failures imediately after 9/11 were maintenance funding related issues and had been happening ever since Reagan left office. That is a congressional responsibility and the Sec of Defense and Sec of related armed service branch to step forward asking for such. The GOP had 6 years under Clinton to make corrections and about six more under Junior. Now they won't get made at all. What a waste.
"Now they won't get made at all. What a waste."
Very sad indeed.
We'll see how much better Hillary would have been on Iraq and the military when Bambi decides to pull our troops out of Iraq. The question is...how will Hillary react? Think she'll go against her party's President?
Of course not! Unless it becomes a universally unpopular decision. ;)
On that note the GOP did itself no favors by ignoring such Conservatives as Alan Keyes. Keyes may not have been ready for POTUS but he certainly would have made a good addition to any Conservative presidents Cabinet. Head of Health and Welfare for example would have been perfect with his message. Or even Assistant Sec of State. Keyes would have been a far better Sec of State for that matter than Powell or Rice. The Ambassadorship awarded him by Reagan was a good start. No one followed through after Reagan.
I really hope to see more of Michael Steele within the party up’n’comers. He’s fantabulous. I also like Haley Barbour.
You must work for the Ministry of Truth.
I want to see Duncan in Alexander or Corkers senate seat. He and/or Blackburn would do great there. Barbour seems to have put some disatnce between himself and his RNC days which is a good thing. He seemed to do fine in dealing with Post Katrina which is a plus. But Mississippi has the best record on lifting itself up and out of hurricanes in the nation. Before there was FEMA there was Mississippi :>} FEMA was another one of Carter’s curses upon the nation.
