Hate to tell you but McCain was correct about Iran training and supplying both Shia and al-Qaeda "insurgents " . Those IEDs that kill our troops are made in Iran ;those mortars attacking the green zone are made in Iran.
McCain should've stuck to his guns on that comment because he was right. |

I'm sure Obama missed his teleprompter for this one...
"Speaking about sex education at an event in Pennsylvania Saturday, Obama said, according to the Christian Broadcasting Network, that he will educate his young daughters but ‘if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at the age of 16.’

Can Obama tell the truth ?
Obama had greater role on liberal survey - Kenneth P. Vogel - Politico.com Seems Obama changes his views to fit his particular audience. And when he gets caught at it... no problem... blame a staffer! The list is beginning to become impressive. He never saw a survey that he says misrepresents his views, despite the fact that his handwriting is on the survey. He didn't realize Rezko was under investigation when he entered into the shady house deal, even though it was well established in the local Chicago press. He didn't know about the 11 low-income housing units going under in his state senate district that were owned by Rezko even as he asked for funds for these buildings. He didn't know the difference between a yea vote and a nay vote, so he "pressed the wrong button" six times... at least two times in close votes . He didn't know the Kyl-Lieberman vote was taking place, but somehow every other candidate knew about it. He didn't realize that his spiritual mentor and pastor of 20 years was saying very controversial things in church (er.. but now maybe he says he did know... ). By the way Wright's retirement home is in a gated community on a golf course that is 98% white. Glad to see he has foresaken "middleclassness". He didn't know his top economic adviser, Austin Goolsbee, met with the Canadian government and suggested that his position on NAFTA was just political posturing. He was for the decriminalization of pot before he was against it because he did not know what decriminalization meant (strange admission from a Harvard graduate lawyer ) . |

Nothing like having the character to stand for what you believe in instead of covering your a$$ to get elected. That's leadership isn't it?
"We at Planned Parenthood view those as leadership votes," Pam Sutherland, the president and CEO of the Illinois Planned Parenthood Council, told ABC News. "We worked with him specifically on his strategy. The Republicans were in control of the Illinois Senate at the time. They loved to hold votes on 'partial birth' and 'born alive'. They put these bills out all the time.. . Because they wanted to pigeonhole Democrats."
Speaking to ABC News as Obama was preparing to join Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and the wife of Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., in addressing Planned Parenthood’s national conference in Washington, D.C., Sutherland said Obama approached her in the late 1990s and worked with her and others in crafting the strategy of voting "present." She remembers meeting with Obama outside of the Illinois Senate chambers on the Democratic side of the aisle. She and Obama finished their conversation in his office. "He came to me and said: 'My members are being attacked. We need to figure out a way to protect members and to protect women,'" said Sutherland in recounting her conversation with Obama. "A 'present' vote was hard to pigeonhole which is exactly what Obama wanted." "What it did," she continued, "was give cover to moderate Democrats who wanted to vote with us but were afraid to do so" because of how their votes would be used against them electorally. "A 'present' vote would protect them. Your senator voted 'present.' Most of the electorate is not going to know what that means." While Sutherland was happy to give Obama latitude in voting "present," rather than "no," she was quick to note that "it’s also not a 'yes' vote." As reported by The Wall Street Journal, some of the specific abortion votes in question include two occasions in 1997 (HB 382 and SB 230) when he voted "present" on bills which would have prohibited a procedure referred to by its critics as "partial-birth abortion." In 2001, he voted "present" on two parental notification abortion bills (HB 1900 and SB 562), and he voted "present" on a series of bills (SB 1093, 1094, 1095) that sought to protect a child if he or she survived a failed abortion. If Obama makes it to the general election, he can expect the Republican National Committee to use his "present" votes on abortion -- and other controversial issues -- to paint him as “A Leader Who Has Never Led.” "Nothing quite says principled and strong leadership like a 'present' vote on a controversial issue," RNC spokesman Dan Ronayne told ABC News. "Apparently the rookie didn't take all his at bats in the minors."

Bobby ; McCain has been mocked because he said Iran was training al Qaeda and Joe Leiberman whispered into his ear a correction. My point was that McCain need not have corrected himself because clearly Iran is training and supplying al Qaeda fighters in Iraq.
There is this silly notion that I have heard since the war began that there is such a divide between Sunni and Shia that there could be no possibility of cooperation between them . The other correlary was that Iraq was a secular state and Saddam would never have coordinated and cooperated with jihadists . Both assertions have been proven incorrect. |

More bad news for Hillary according to columnist Dan Calabrese.
March 31, 2008
Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying. The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes. Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquid affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career. Why? “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.” How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals – including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum – who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation. Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach – including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro. The actions of Hillary and her cohorts went directly against the judgment of top Democrats, up to and including then-House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill, that Nixon clearly had the right to counsel. Zeifman says that Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception. The brief involved precedent for representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding. When Hillary endeavored to write a legal brief arguing there is no right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding, Zeifman says, he told Hillary about the case of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who faced an impeachment attempt in 1970. “As soon as the impeachment resolutions were introduced by (then-House Minority Leader Gerald) Ford, and they were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the first thing Douglas did was hire himself a lawyer,” Zeifman said. The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent. Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were in the Judiciary Committee’s public files. So what did Hillary do? “Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public,” Zeifman said. Hillary then proceeded to write a legal brief arguing there was no precedent for the right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding – as if the Douglas case had never occurred. The brief was so fraudulent and ridiculous, Zeifman believes Hillary would have been disbarred if she had submitted it to a judge. Zeifman says that if Hillary, Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar had succeeded, members of the House Judiciary Committee would have also been denied the right to cross-examine witnesses, and denied the opportunity to even participate in the drafting of articles of impeachment against Nixon. Of course, Nixon’s resignation rendered the entire issue moot, ending Hillary’s career on the Judiciary Committee staff in a most undistinguished manner. Zeifman says he was urged by top committee members to keep a diary of everything that was happening. He did so, and still has the diary if anyone wants to check the veracity of his story. Certainly, he could not have known in 1974 that diary entries about a young lawyer named Hillary Rodham would be of interest to anyone 34 years later. But they show that the pattern of lies, deceit, fabrications and unethical behavior was established long ago – long before the Bosnia lie, and indeed, even before cattle futures, Travelgate and Whitewater – for the woman who is still asking us to make her president of the United States. |

More of her vaunted smoke and mirrors 'experience '.Evidently the Watergate experience set such new high standards for our public servants.
Notice how she was protected by the MSM all this time . Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame wrote a glowing tribute to Evita last year called "A Women in Charge " . This after he had clearly must have uncovered that her narrative did not match the facts . He had almost unlimited access and since he was so intimately involved in the Watergate episode it is had to believe that these facts escaped him. |

The hits just keep coming...
Possibly to avoid being one-upped on Indiana national security politics, former President Bill Clinton told a crowd in Columbus, Indiana, today that his wife had tried to join the Army.
Listen to an excerpt HERE. "I remember when we were young, right out of law school, she went down and tried to join the Army and they said 'Your eyes are so bad, nobody will take you,'" he said, after heralding her record on issues of concern to the military, such as body armor and access to health care. I assume this is a version of the "Hillary Clinton tried to join the Marines" anecdote that then-First Lady Clinton told in 1994 that we wondered about since it's a story she never seems to have told again. The original story was that in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in 1975, Hillary walked into a local Marines recruiting office. The Marine recruiter looked at her, she recalled, and asked how old she was. Twenty-seven, she said. "He looked at me, and in those days that was before I learned how to wear contact lenses," Sen. Clinton told a crowd of women veterans in 1994. "I had these really thick glasses on. He said, ‘How bad's your eyesight?' I said, ‘It's pretty bad.' …Finally said to me, he said, 'You're too old. You can't see. And you're a woman.…But maybe the dogs would take you.'" ("Dogs" being a reference to the Army.) Perhaps she did so -- and hence Bill Clinton's Army story today? Or maybe he's conflating the two stories? (Add that Bosnian sniper fire, and you might have something there that Julia Roberts would want to option.) |

How about this! Hillary's going to be grilled (deservedly so) over the story she's been using about a woman and child that she (Hillary) says died because a hospital turned down the mother for lack of coverage. Hillary apparently wanted to embellish it into a tale to promote her universal health-care proposal. According to the bit of news that's starting to come out, the hospital is setting the story straight and have asked Hilary to stop falsifying the facts. According the hospital they never turned the woman down due to lack of insurance. Eventually we may find out the woman did indeed have insurance. This is adding up to another ducking bullets in Bosnia type campaign farce that Hillary's going to eat. How much did Hillary and Billy-boy make over the past six years according to tax their statements? Better yet, why are people still paying the Clinton's for speaking engagements when they lie habitually? Oh! Wait a minute she "misspoke," again.
