The Fallout Has Begun

Hey folks,

I meant to post this yesterday, when these started to appear, but my meds said, BED. OK, Now I’m back. It didn’t take long before the fallout started. AP alone has two articles depicting it, Reuters one so far. The only people that seem happy with Clinton and Obama, is Moron.org.

Let’s start with the AP. AP-McCain, Romney assail Democrats on Iraq By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer

Republican presidential candidate John McCain assailed Democratic rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama on Friday for voting against legislation paying for the Iraq war, accusing them of embracing "the policy of surrender."

Obama, in turn, criticized McCain and Republican hopeful Mitt Romney for "still supporting a war that has cost us thousands of lives, made us less safe in the world and resulted in a resurgence of al-Qaida."

OK, that is a bunch of BUNK. That is simply Moron.org talking points. You would have to be blind not to see that. Or, as Obama seems to think, you are stupid. None of that is true. We have been attacked for YEARS before 9/11. Noone did anything. Now? Not one since. People like Obama that want to be President, need to show they are not merely a member of the sheepeople heard and can think for himself. He is not doing himself any favors.

Now I’m not a big McCain supporter. I have a major trust issue with him. But on this point, he is one hundred percent correct..

"What is Senator Obama and Senator Clinton's 'Plan B' if we withdraw?" McCain, an Arizona senator who backed the measure, said in a telephone interview. "What are their options if the withdrawal fails and we have chaos and genocide?"

Pisss, they don’t care. They will just blame Bush.

McCain also implied that the country would be less safe if Clinton or Obama became commander in chief. "I wouldn't use the words 'less safe,' I would use the wording that our national security would be at risk if we pursue the policy and cut off funding," McCain said.

In an earlier statement, he called his Democratic rivals' opposition to the spending bill "the equivalent of waving a white flag to al-Qaida." He said he was "very disappointed to see Senator Obama and Senator Clinton embrace the policy of surrender by voting against funds to support our brave men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Romney also criticized Clinton and Obama — and used the largely derided term of "Democrat Party" instead of Democratic Party.

Now Romney I’m really starting to like.

"Voting against our troops during a time of war shows the American people that the leaders of the Democrat Party will abandon principle in favor of political positioning," said Romney, a former Massachusetts governor. He said the votes defined the two Democrats' lack of leadership on national security and "render them undependable."

ABSOLUTELY.

In a rebuttal statement, Obama, an Illinois senator, said: "This country is united in our support for our troops, but we also owe them a plan to relieve them of the burden of policing someone elses civil war. Governor Romney and Senator McCain clearly believe the course we are on in Iraq is working, but I do not."

Because you are an IDIOT. A Drone for the likes of Soros. When is the last time you talked with soldiers? People on the Ground in Iraq? When is the last time you took time to learn the REALITY of the situation?

Also according to the AP-Lawmakers predict shift in war policy By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer

Republican and Democratic congressional leaders both forecast a change in President Bush's Iraq war policy as the president prepared to sign legislation Friday providing funds for military operations through Sept. 30.

"I think the president's policy is going to begin to unravel now," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who described the just-passed measure as a disappointment because it did not force an end to U.S. participation in the conflict.

{Because he is stupid and has no plan. Watch, it will fall apart now that we gave him the money.} {Laughing} Can you say sore loser?

At a separate news conference, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell predicted a change, and said Bush would show the way.

"I think the handwriting is on the wall that we are going in a different direction in the fall and I think the president is going to lead it," he said.

McConnell said he expects Bush announce his intentions on his own timetable.

He is the Commander and Chief. That IS his job.

"This effort shows what can happen when people work together to get a good bill that doesn't have timetables or tell the military how to do its job," Bush said after a visit to wounded troops at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. "It also sends a clear signal to the Iraqis that there's expectations" for them to make progress.

Democrats say the drive to bring U.S. troops home is far from over.

"We're going to keep coming back and coming back," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, chairman of the Democratic caucus.

The Energizer Bunnies?

It goes on and one about what they are going to try to do. Bush Bad War Evil, blah, blah, blah. But at least THEY did the right thing. They voted FOR it. Now this from Reuters -Obama, Clinton side with anti-war Democrats By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent

Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton earned praise from anti-war activists but criticism from Republicans on Friday for voting against a measure to pay for the Iraq war that sets no timetables for withdrawing U.S. troops.

The two leading 2008 Democratic presidential contenders had been under heavy pressure from the party's influential anti-war wing and from other Democratic candidates to oppose the emergency funding bill sought by President George W. Bush.

Unlike an earlier funding bill that Bush vetoed on May 1, the bill comfortably passed late on Thursday by both the Senate and House of Representatives was not tied to deadlines for troop withdrawals.

Obama and Clinton had refused for days to say how they would vote, but ultimately sided with opponents of the increasingly unpopular war.

Never mind. Click the link if you want to read it. They really messed up. They really showed their true colors. YOU now know who these people WORK for. It isn’t YOU. They received great praise from MORON.Org That and a dollar will get you a donut. But I’m not ready to say, it will get you in the White House. Did I mention they voted NO on the Minimum Wage increase. No on Hurricane Relief. No on poor kid Healthcare. No on assisting Farmers? They did.

More to come I’m sure. The Spin will continue.
