Thank you, sir, for your military service.

Too bad you didn’t start a business or a career, instead of helping the demonRATS disembowel the United States.

Inouye was a partisan Democrat. He and his and his Democrat colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee enthusiastically investigated the Watergate scandal, which brought down President Nixon. Yet in 1964, these same Senators refused to probe the Bobby Baker scandal, which could have derailed Johnson’s presidency.

It sounds like the Soviet Union. The only way out for the long-term political apparatchiks is feet-first. Not only that, Inouye was pulling levers until the end to make sure his preferred candidate takes this lifetime Democrat seat.

We have to stop honoring these tyrants that seek to impose totalitarian government on a now formerly free people. His military record does not excuse his horrific congressional record. Remember, his vote on 0-care may mean the premature death of many in the future, his vote to raise taxes might consign an individual to a life of welfare dependency instead of meaningful work. There are an infinite number of unforseen consequences, just about all bad, that will come out his tenure in the Senate.

I met his brother once. He was head of landscaping for Disneyland. I was on a field trip from college, we were Recreation and Parks students, and somehow they thought we landscaping folks, so he gave us our tour.

Sorry,I cannot mourn him.Any good he might have done for this country while in uniform (a commendable amount of good,to be sure) was long ago canceled out...canceled out times 1000...by the harm he's done since leaving the military.My attitude toward him is no different than is my attitude toward Kerry,Ted Kennedy (a corporal serving in *Europe* during the Korean War) and Murtha.He's every bit as despicable as those three (and many others).

Excerpts

Sen. Daniel Inouye. The 82-year-old Hawaii Democrat was accused in the 1990s by numerous women of sexual harassment. Democrats cast doubt on the allegations and the Senate Ethics Committee dropped its investigation.

1992

Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii)

In October 1992, Republican Senate nominee Rick Reed began running a campaign commercial that included a surreptitiously taped interview with Lenore Kwock, Inouye’s hairdresser. Kwock said Inouye had sexually forced himself on her in 1975 and continued a pattern of sexual harassment, even as Kwock continued to cut his hair over the years. Inouye, seeking a sixth term, denied the charges. And Kwock said that by running the commercial, Reed had caused her more pain than Inouye had. Reed was forced to pull the ad, and while many voters took out their anger on the Republican, Inouye was held to 57 percent of the vote - the lowest total of his career. A week later, a female Democratic state legislator announced that she had heard from nine other women who claimed Inouye had sexually harassed them over the past decade. But the women didn’t go public with their claims, the local press didn’t pursue the story, and the Senate Ethics Committee decided to drop the investigation because the accusers wouldn’t participate in an inquiry.

And, just why is the liberal hack allowed to lie in state at the U.S. Capital Rotundra? That honor should be reserved for Heads of State, not some liberal hack senator.
