when he plays politics with the lives of our troops, you had better be sure I'm going to respond. And I know that you want to respond too."

If she would bother to consider the ridiculous antics of Harry Reid with over 36000 carded requests for unrelated pork barrel spending attached to the iraq bill....

peanut storage funding attached to defense armor appropriations

several attempts at stalling tactics when veto was clearly declared for stated limits on liberal proposals.

the unilateraly declared surrender by harry reid

and of course the repeated attempts to rewrite the duties of a commander in cheif

WHERES THE RESPONSE TO THE GAME PLAYING BY THE PELOSI/REID REIGIME AND WHY BY USING HER OWN DEFINITION IS GRANSTANDING BY HER PARTY OK, BUT DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTIONAL ROLE OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH BY THE VICE PRESIDENT AGAINST NANCY&CO NOT?

Answer 1

Well said, Blacksbear.

Answer 2

What has the abuses of her party or the other party to do with the lie Cheney mouthed in his interview? He was the one being dishonest and political. She had every right to question the military's plan for withdrawal from Iraq.

Answer 3

No, you've confused several issues here. Hillary Clinton had the constitutional right as a member of the armed services committee to make a request for information from the Pentagon. Her request was material to the work of the armed services committee.  Hillary was attacked for doing her job by an assistant secretary of defense and by vice president Cheney.  She had the right to respond.

Answer 4

You and I both can see what is going on.  But, then again we are not Democrats.  They tend to feel that if they are doing something it is the right thing to do and if the Republicans are doing the exact same thing then the Republicans are wrong and we need an investigation.  Everything is politics to them and the lives of our troops mean nothing to them.  Sometimes I wonder about the republicans not acting and voting the way I think they should, which is conservatively but I would not trust a democrat with anything.  I will be voting in November 08 but it won't be for a democrat.

Answer 5

You will probably not be surprised, as you are very savvy regarding all the hidden Pork that is also paid for , under the war funds. That is why people claim so much has been spent on the war, when in reality,  a lot was NOT for the war itself.

The use of earmarks, or PORK, by members of Congress is a criminal act. They use our tax money as a method to buy votes and to earn campaign money. People who complain about the money we spend defending this country routinely spend 4 or 5 million dollars in earmarks to get 20 thousand dollars in campaign donations. Only in Congress, where no one knows fiscal responsibility, could that kind of return be acceptable. When one considers how our money is spent, with regard to earmarks, it is amazing that Americans have not stormed the Capitol and removed Congress by force.

Answer 6

You are making Mrs. Clinton's case:  she is the obvious Democratic nominee.  No matter what any Democrat does, you frantic neoMcCarthyites find a way to make it her fault.

After sixteen years of vile attacks and unrelenting character assassination it has worn a bit thin.  The average citizen has a strong sense of fair play, and will reward your partisan garbage with what you fear most.

President Clinton!  It will be worth it, if only to hear Rush Limbaugh say the words.

We might also get some movement on public health care, so we can be a modern country like Canada, Sweden and Germany.
