Quote from The Answer:
Gee, I almost forgot that VP Biden, Secretary of state Clinton, Majority Leader Reid, former VP candidates Lieberman and Edwards, Presidential nominee Kerry and former Dem Senate leader Daschle each voted FOR the war in Iraq.
So which is worse? Being a Republican who stonewalls Obama or being a Democrat who affirmed Bush's war but then campaigns as a duplicitous peacenick?
Was it not Obama during his 2004 Senate campaign who advocated an even harder line in Pakistan than bush when he stunned the Chicago Tribune editorial board with his comment, "I understand that President Musharraf has his own challenges. "But let me make this clear, If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and (Pakistani) President (Pervez) Musharraf will not act, we will." How Ghandi like. No wonder he received the Nobel Peace prize.
For eight years the Left harped about pre-emptive wars, our grandchildren paying off big deficits, profiteering by Bush oil buddies, jobless "recoveries" while Wall Street stock holders got rich, lack of public spending on "shovel ready" infra structure improvements, a military composed of desperate minorities and lack of transparency.
Has even one of those conditions changed? Now all we need is a tepid Federal response time to a natural disaster and Bush/Obama will have virtual 100% serial correlation.
And to dispel Big Lie #1 about the prescription drug bill: Old school medicine performed expensive surgeries that were fully covered by Medicare. New school medicine prescribes expensive drugs that have eliminated the imperative of many said surgeries. So was it fair, let alone fiscally prudent for Medicare to effectively say, "yes we'll cover your $200,000 valve replacement but we won't cover the new $200 a month drug that lessens the chance of an expensive heart procedure"? Comparing a national health insurance plan benefiting young, able bodied illegals to enhanced coverage for those who've paid a half century in medicare taxes is the most disingenuous argument I've yet seen. But then again, who is more of a duplicitous, lying, envious, anti-American speciman than a progressive, socialist, Democrat?
My sentiments exactly. Well stated.
