"I've been surprised [Bush] waited, but then I thought, well, politically, it probably doesn't make much sense to find [Saddam Hussein] just yet." Those were the words of Washington State Congressman Jim McDermott during a recent interview with KIRO radio in Seattle. He implied President Bush would have preferred to have waited until closer to the election to capture Saddam Hussein in an effort to score more political points with voters. He continued by saying, "There's too much by happenstance for it to be just a coincidental thing." Thus is the mentality of the liberal left in the United States of America.
This comes from a man nicknamed "Baghdad Jim." He was awarded this moniker because of remarks he made last year. One had President Bush misleading the American people" on the issue of Iraq. He was heavily criticized for that statement and even drew denigration from some in his own party. And while on a trip to Baghdad before hostilities started he stated that Saddam Hussein was trustworthy. Saddam Hussein? Trustworthy? How did this guy get elected?
The hate that has been instilled within the liberal left of this country; courtesy of the McAuliffe/Clinton regime is so far beyond the realm of acceptability it is maddening. Was it wrong to feel shorted after the 2000 election if you were a Gore/Lieberman supporter? Absolutely not. It was a close race and their candidate lost. It wouldnt have been normal for them not to feel cheated. It was the same way I felt when an inferior candidate in the man of Bill Clinton defeated George H. W. Bush, a man with a considerably more impressive resume. But until the moment when Clinton lied under oath I was willing to accept him as the president of the United States. Make no mistake, my disdain for Bill Clinton had nothing to do with him abusing his underlings sexually, it had everything to do with him breaking the law and violating his oath to uphold the US Constitution, two things he did when he perjured himself. He paid the price for it through his impeachment, thanks to those like US Rep. Henry Hyde who heeded the duties of his office. After that the respect I held for the man was replaced by a symbolic respect for the office of the presidency. But never did I possess the hatred in my heart for Bill Clinton that people like McDermott hold for George W. Bush today. And all this hatred coming from the tolerant left.
It needs to be pointed out that the win-at-all-costs tactics of Terry McAuliffe and his spin-minions nurtures the nucleolus of this infection. Guilty by association and by enabling them are those who placed him in the position he now holds, Bill and Hillary Clinton. He is their creation and just like Frankenstein when being chased by the frightened towns people, he is running amok. His win-at-all-cost arrogance is the platform and his chief tactic this time around is fostering the evil of hatred, hatred for another human being. Again, make no mistake; the hatred has moved on from being simply aimed at the policies of an administration, it is now targeting George W. Bush the man, husband and father. It is sickening.
In a way, should the unthinkable happen and Howard Dean win the presidency of the United States, I think I would be able to see a glimpse of sunshine during an otherwise category 5 hurricane and that glimpse of sunshine would be the demise of Terry McAuliffe and the Clinton DNC machine. Should the absurd happen I would hunker down inside my own political spider hole for four years solaced and nourished by the idea that McAuliffes days were through.
As for Jim McDermott, perhaps Washington States GOP Chairman Chris Vance said it best when he said, "Calling on [McDermott] to apologize is useless, but I call on other Democrats to let the public know if they agree with McDermott -- and Howard Dean, who recently said he thought it was possible that President Bush had advance knowledge about 9/11. The voters deserve to know if the entire Democratic Party believes in these sorts of bitter, paranoid conspiracy theories." Mr. McAuliffe? A comment sir?

Now, the press is refering to Saddams capture as "The historical capture of Saddam Hussein." LOL. Ouch! That must be tearing the liberals hearts out.
I'll go one step further.
By Sunday before the election, Tim Russert and every other political analyst knew quite well that Florida was the key to the election. So did the DNC.
This is what I think really happened.
The day before the election, representatives of the DNC met in New York with the people who ran the old Voters News Service. They put forward the idea that an early call for Florida would not only suppress Republican turnout in Florida, thus making it a self-fulfilling prophecy, but it would put as many as 11 others states in play for the Democrats.
While an early call was technically illegal, it was only a violation of administrative law. The fine would be chump change for a network.
I believe that the key VNS players with the networks deliberately colluded with the DNC to throw the election. After all, the Constitution forbids a revote. Individual votes can be challenged for reasons of fraud, but not an entire election. The votes are counted, and legally it doesn't matter if the networks worked to throw the election or not. The vote counts stand.
It was a win-win situation for the DNC. Wisconsin, Oregon and a few others states that should have gone Republican went Democratic due to this collusion. They almost pulled it off.
The day of the 2002 election, all VNS uplinks failed. Every single one. What are the odds of that happening the very day of an election? I believe the Administration discovered another case of pending collusion to suppress Republican turnout and turn Congress over to the Democrats. The order was given to the NSA to sabotage all the VNS satellite connections and nip this conspiracy in the bud.
VNS was shut down and liquidated only a few months later. The message had been sent.
And no, I'm not wearing tinfoil.
She wasn't overheard. She said it directly to Mort Kondracke at the Fox studio as they were getting makeup applied. He went directly to his spot at Brit's roundtable (she was there for an interview with someone else) and reported on Special Report what she had just said. He was astounded and appalled and thought it was sheer lunacy.
Yesterday Rush played Kondracke's comments where he stated she was absolutely serious and not joking. Also yesterday Fox wrote an article saying that Albright was passing off her remarks as "joking", but they cited the two makeup people who heard her say this confirm she was not joking.
Late term abortions. 24 hours before the schedualed birth date. Might as well go all the way.
Nope. I was watching the election results on tv, and Peter Jennings said Florida was called for Gore, and he said "It looks like OUR SIDE is winning."
That's no joke. My husband caught it, too.
Baghdad Jim is from Washington State's 7th Contressional District (see map), which IIRC is ground zero of Liberal Looneydom...
LOL. So true.
NADER/SHARPTON on the Green/New Black ticket!
Bears repeating.
Come on, Washington...McDermott AND Murray? Puh-Lease!
Sorry Frank, I had, and still have, that hatred in my heart for Bubba and Bubbette.
