Who said the following: "The real issue is this.

I'd have figured it for John Kerry, who had a propensity to brag about himself while making empty promises. But, I cheated. Howard Dean (not one of the two H's, BTW) wins. -- John *H* (Not the other one!) But of course NO Republicans would ever tell lies or embellish the truth to garner votes and or approval now, would they? Not the one's running for President now. McCain can't remember from one day to the next much of anything. He's a decent man, but he ought to be running for President of the Old Folks Home, if he could recall where it is. Too bad he didn't win 8 years ago. Getting a bit long in the tooth now. Of course Ronnie got by being propped up by Nancy... so if McCain has a good wife..............who knows? McCain is just more of Bush. As soon as the Dems finalize their candidate, the deconstruction of McCain will begin. Oh...and Iraq...the situation there is deteriorating...again. "Iraqi Authorities: Over 200 Killed in Clashes Between Government, Shi'ite Forces By VOA News 29 March 2008 Iraqi authorities say the death toll from five days of intense fighting between Iraqi forces and Shi'ite militias has surged to more than 200. Many of the casualties have occurred in Baghdad's Sadr City, a stronghold of militias loyal to Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. A spokesman for the Iraqi Health Ministry says at least 75 people have been killed and nearly 500 wounded in clashes and U.S.-led airstrikes. There are reports that dozens of policemen in Sadr City surrendered their weapons to Sadr's forces, saying they could not fight their own people. Fighting between Iraqi forces and Shi'ite militias has intensified since Tuesday, when Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered a crackdown on militants in the southern city of Basra." Iraq's Shi'ite government fighting Iraq's Shi'ite militias. I guess since a few hundred thousand Sunni have been killed and two million have left because of "ethnic cleansing," they have to fight each other. And the U.S. pilots and their bombs? I wonder how many kids they've killed in their airstrikes, as they work hard to win the hearts and minds. Thank you Laura Logan. Don't you have some tree stumps to shoot today with your 3 pound concealed carry gun? |
