A Democratic governor broke from the rhetoric of many in her party yesterday when she said bringing freedom to Iraq was worth going to war, even if no weapons of mass destruction are found.

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco joined a bipartisan group of governors fresh from a two-day trip to Iraq who urged that the delicate situation in that country not be "politicized" in the upcoming presidential election.

I was wondering what the outcome would be--thank you for posting this.

A Democratic governor broke from the rhetoric of many in her party yesterday when she said bringing freedom to Iraq was worth going to war, even if no weapons of mass destruction are found.

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco joined a bipartisan group of governors fresh from a two-day trip to Iraq who urged that the delicate situation in that country not be "politicized" in the upcoming presidential election.

Mrs. Blanco said "it's easy to second-guess" President Bush's decision to depose Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein — as have many Democrats — but if the United States can help create a free society in its wake, history will judge the endeavor favorably.

        "We're both Republicans and Democrats," Miss Lingle said. "And one of the conclusions we reached that we feel is very important in a presidential election year is that this issue not be politicized during political debate.
        "We feel there are too many American lives at stake," she said. "There's been too many American resources put into this effort to allow it to degrade into political fighting in a presidential election year."

I'm sure the DNC has a truckload of KoolAid enroute to Miss Lingle's house as we speak.

good girl, er ah I mean lady....

***The Hard & Fast Facts The Democrats & Media STILL Don't Understand***

1. Americans are glad Saddam is gone and his rotten kids are dead.

We're glad GWB had the balls Clinton didn't have, and we're glad that GWB gave us the reason, or even just the cover, to go kick his ass out of power...3000 Americans were killed by these bastards and Saddam was happy about it and WOULD have helped if he didn't.

This bastard was paying suicide bombers...Americans don't give a damn whether we ever find those WMD, we wanted his head and we got it.

That's why Libya came across and the others will too....they know that GWB means what he says and if they don't we're coming after them, next. You betcha.

The UN and the rest of the world knows GWB and America means what it says, this ain't the clinton's any more....

2. Kerry will never be elected President.

Americans have a deep sense of fairness, and even those of us who didn't go to Viet Nam, knew that our friends that did, didn't want to go, and those of us MEN, who were subjected to the draft, (and you women can just stay out of this...it's like having a baby....that's yours, the draft is ours) felt deep inside for the friends we lost, and that POS Kerry joining Hanoi Jane, (a woman not subjected to the draft, and a traitor) was a betrayal, and we are never going to forgive him for his testimony against the soldiers who were fighting....we protested the war, not those who were FORCED, OFTEN against their will, to go fight it.......

So you liberals in the press and the PC democrats can whistle any tune or tell any lie you want.....We're with GWB and that's the way it is.

...Democratic Gov. Theodore R. Kulongoski of Oregon...

I'll have to wait for the local media to provide some more sound bites from Governor "Tax-and-Gouge-me". His trip to Iraq was a big surprise to many here in Oregon.
