Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez Implies General Petraeus Is A Liar
Hugh Hewitt ^ | Sept. 10, 2007 | Duane R. Patterson

Posted on 09/11/2007 10:09:15 AM PDT by Signalman

Not to be outdone on the outrage scale by her South Florida colleague, Bob Wexler, Orange County, California's Sanchez, the very last person in the House of Representatives that you would expect to be invited to a gathering of Mensa, concluded the Joint House hearing with General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker.

Of all the things she could focus on, she asked a question about the facts on the ground versus an ABC News/BBC poll that better supports the Democrats' view that there is nothing good to be found in Iraq as long as George Bush has anything to do with it.

Note that after she finally gets around to her question, she directs the poll question to Ambassador Crocker, who cites the statistics he knows. Sanchez interrupts and drops the insinuation that General Petraeus is manipulating the numbers in Iraq, essentially lying in his report, he numbers in his report, saying "and General Petraues will know what I mean by that."

Later in her presentation, dripping with condescension, she slags the entire Iraqi population as saying we are the only good thing happening in their economy.

She is an idiot. And it is pretty well known even in the House of Representatives that she is an idiot. And idiots being able to prosper and rise to the level of being able to ask questions of four-star generals in time of war is one of the things that is truly remarkable about this country. But no one likes a condescending idiot. It may be fair to say that when compared to the 160,000 men and women under General Petraeus' command, Congresswoman Sanchez may rank in the 2nd percentile in intelligence.

But make no mistake, Sanchez, like Bob Wexler, like MoveOn.org, like the Code Pink protestors, like the Democrats in the Senate who were silent today when they should have been renouncing the New York Times ad today, does not hold the military in anything but contempt.

According to the article, Congresswoman Sanchez is an "idiot".

The author's characterization of Sanchez as an "idiot" is an insult to all self-respecting idiots.

Is this not the dhimmicratic bimbo that changed her last name to Sanchez in order to more efficiently steal votes? Hmmm, wonder why the name choice? I have run out of contempt for these people. I used to disagree, but respect them. No longer. They are the enemy, and when the time comes, we shall treat them as the enemy in more ways than they can imagine.

She’s not a idiot, she’s a liberal.

She's both. If you watched live yesterday (or listened like I did) you could tell by her vocabulary when she was reading off her copy made by her handlers and when she wasn't reading.

When she was using her own intelligence and vocabulary she sounded like a typical high school valley girl.

There were in fact thousands of illegal votes, but the PC bug bit Newt Gingrich and the case wasn’t pursued.

Is that because the Republicans did not have a full investigation or did she win appropriately....The courts said “Yes, there is evidence of illegal voting, multiple voting, etc. but not enough to make it an issue.” Seriously.

“There were allegations that illegals voted for her “

Loretta Brixey:

In 1994 Sanchez ran unsuccessfully as a moderate Republican for the Anaheim City Council under her then married name, Loretta Brixey. In 1996, she changed parties and recast herself as a moderate Democrat to run in the 46th District against controversial six-term Republican incumbent Bob Dornan.

When is Mrs. Brixby going to do the spread for her pal Hef?

In all seriousness, Loretta Brixby is to congress like a fly is to feces. Just buzzes around for a few bites, but ultimately doesn't make a sh-t of difference. She's "insignificant" unless you happen to live in the craphole that is Anaheim.

Sanchez demonstrates that it IS possible for a brainless turd to actually speak.

Now that it has spoken, it should be flushed.

This is a classic example of a idiot putting Politics and self interest before the country in a time a war. I believe the forefathers would of had her tar-and-feathered for such foolishness.

Ah, longing for the good old days when traitors were punished for their disloyality instead of given their first amendment rights. Leftists should be wiped from our country. Let them go to their lands of opportunity - Russa, Iran, Seria and so on.

The whole time she was speaking, I was looking for her mop and bucket. Sheesh, I thought she was the janatorial staff.

Isn’t she the one that flip flops on her actual name to gain political advantage or whichever way the wind blows. LOL

Talk about liar and sneak.

Prior to Sanchez, there was a real Conservative representing that district. Specifically, Bob Dornan. Then, unfortunately, so many illegals moved in that they gave Sanchez the election. There were allegations that illegals voted for her and there was an investigation but nothing ever came of it. Big surprise.

Well, this time there needs to be an investigation - no more nice guys - our future is at stake. And I am very sick of big mouth leftists and am ready for a BIG change! We can do it!!! Vote her out and all the rest of the leftist %astards and their sympathizers.

I had insomnia, so laid up in bed watching FNC. I was getting very angry at the treatment of General Petraeus.

Sanchez, Biden, etc, are all idiots and traitors.

I was watching the questioning of Ken Starr on Thanksgiving weekend in 1998 and I remember Robert Wexler. Just thinking about that ranting, raving twerp gives me heartburn. He’s not a statesman, he’s an Air America talk show host!

Sanchez-— Isn’t she the Donk who changed her name so she could decieve the hispanics? Seem to recall as much. A liar implying an honorable Officer is a Liar sounds Democratic to me.

Loretta is a CARPETBAGGER who moved into our district from the high rent district in Long Beach. She “found” her roots when she decided to run against Bob Dornan. She dropped her married name and reverted back to Sanchez. That seemed to work because half this district is either mexican or latino from some other country down south. She wins because she is “one of them.”

Slowly though, the vietnamese in this area are becoming the majority. Loretta almost got beat this last time around by some guy named Nguyen. As soon as the latinos again become a minority, she is out.

I can hardly wait.
