Well, there goes another one of my "heroes As much as Kerrey distinguished himself yesterday, he embarrased himself today. Evidently, truth is something that didn't accord with his agenda vis a vis Clarke.

I never learn, you just can't trust democrats.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks you!

[dinasour]

"Don't be a wimp, Vote Republican!"

Nice story. I wish for the days when the only choice was between wimps and non-wimps.

That button, if struck today, would have to say, "Don't be a traitor. Vote Republican!"

That the Democrat party could sink to the level that I have seen in this campaign and get any support at all, completely confounds me.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

...This whole Iraq argument is so bogus...

Agreed. Afghanistan was to root out those responsible for 911. Iraq was to pre-empt a more devasting "911" from occuring. It amazes me that people don't see this.

[roses of sharon]

We need to demand that the Republicans resign in protest of this show-trial.

[ironman]

Kerrey said Clarke was always welcome to teach a class at his university. It was also a mistake for him to be discussing potential employment with a witness. Ethical violation. Kerrey should be called out on it.

[RoseofTexas]

I pray you are right, because the media lib shark whores smell blood! You think they are going to stop the attack on dubya after this so-call scandal? Hell no, it's gonna get worse! They intend to completely destroy W and his poll numbers! This is only the beginning...:( We, conservatives have so little outlets to get the truth out, we are overshadowed by the POWERFUL liberal EVIL EVIL DEMONIC clymers! Our only hope is God alone to help us get the truth out!

Monsoor Ijaz said today that Clarke knew full well that Saddam and OBL were working hand in glove for years and challenged Clarke to appear on any television show to debate this matter. Practically called the guy a liar.

What Clarke would just as soon we forget:

[gswilder]

Hannity has a lady on right now who worked in government and claims she has letters in her possession that shows the Sudan DID try to hand OBL over. It's from the Sudanese president to Bill Clinton.

[Darlin']

Ha ! Thats rich. If it wasn't partisan there would be no reason for Ben Veneste to be there.

[Guenevere]

My take on the Condi thing....

DON'T DO IT CONDI...DON'T GO!!!!

These rats are just like Satan whispering & taunting....

..she doesn't have to go....and she can hold her head high....

...it's a trick!!!!!!!!

[mombonn]

Reagan should never have won in a landslide, because believe me, the press tarred and feathered him

Yeah, and that was back in the dark ages before FR, talk radio, and Fox News!

Praise the Lord for the internet, JimRob, and Rush!

[cyncooper]

That's okay. From what Rep. Dreier said on FNC this morning, Clarke's latest version also differs from the testimony he's given various intell committees. Anyone mentioned that little tidbit?

Neither Clarke or the panel brought that up.

Oh yes they did. I believe it was Fielding. May have been Lehman, but transcript will tell.

[Peach]

Tonight I'm e-mailing my Senators. Tomorrow I'm calling the Senators. Thanks for re-posting the Commission's phone number.

[clintonh8r]

They don't call 'em "RAT bastards" for nothing. They're pricks.

[plain talk]

This committee have already decided that "everything is Bush's fault,"

We may sense that based on this lousy hearing but it will never fly. He was only in office 8 months.

[Mo1]

The folks who aren't paying attention to the unfiltered coverage of these hearings might get the impression this commission panel is nonpartisan. That's exactly my point (RE: FOX News covering other news).

That is why I email the real story to everyone I know

One way or another .. The truth WILL GET TO THE PEOPLE

[Peach]

I meant by "no way" was that no way will we take this sitting down.

[BigSkyFreeper]

This whole Iraq argument is so bogus.

We went to Afghanistan first. So obviously the president listened to all his advisors and made the decision that Afghanistan had to be gone to first.

We went to Iraq next. That they sponsored terrorism is beyond dispute. Much as the leftists would like to pretend otherwise.

Exactly. We're not involved in a War On Al-Qaeda, we're involved with a War On Terror, whether it comes from Afghanistan, Spain, France, Germany, or Iraq.

[eyespysomething]

Me too. Luckily for me, mine are Saxby and Zell!

Call your representatives too!
