Rep. Kanjorski: "That if we won the Congressional elections, we could stop the war. Now anybody was a good student of Government would know that wasn't true. But you know, the temptation to want to win back the Congress, we sort of stretched the facts...and people ate it up."
The dems didn’t “stretch the facts” THEY LIED!!
And .. all the while Teddy Kennedy is standing on the senate floor yelling, “lies and lies and lies and lies” about President Bush.
When in reality .. the dems have been lying and lyine and lyine all these years.
Dems lied, Congress died.
Rat tells truth? :o
Its worse than that. I saw it myself. Dems would vote for the war, and then go straight outside, jump in front of the camera, and attack the war that only minutes before they themselves voted for.
They’re covered that way. If the war goes well, they were for it. If it goes badly, they were against it also, right from the start. Either way, they’ve got the news footage they need.
Dishonest as the day is long, but it works. Dems don’t actually hold it against them, they admire a political sleight of hand well-executed.
If the Republicans had any initiative or common sense, this quote would become a cornerstone of both their Congressional and Presidential campaigns. We the People don't like being lied to (hence the President's decline in popularity based on the notion that he "lied" about WMD in Iraq). This bozo congress critter probably thinks he'll get brownie points in the drive-by media for his "honesty".
This Congresscritter is from the 11th Congressional District of Pennsylvania. Elected to 12th term in 2006 with 72% in a safe Dem seat. Area is Scranton and generally south.
Dem. Congressman Admits Party Used War to Win Election...
but but but ~ the lib/dems support the troops but not the war!!!!
what a bunch of a-holes!!!
Even the brain-dead Dem voters of Illinois ought to be repulsed by this admission that these Nancy-boys used the war to win their majority in Congress.
Oops...just realized that he is from PA, not IL, but the concept still holds.
The truth is that if the suckers on the Right were not stampeded into either not voting or actually voting rat over foley, the dems would not have won. Look lets not forget that we lost a combined SIXTEEN Senate and Congressional seats by a TOTAL of 63,000 votes! That’s not losing one race by 63,000 votes which in a senate contest would be close enough, but SIXTEEN races by 63,000 votes.
The “I’m way too conservative to vote Republican because there is a homosexual GOP congressman in Florida” crowd gave the rat the wheel. Now we pay $4.20 a gallon instead of the $2.80 we were paying when the ratHOUSE got started. The suckers lapped up the rat droppings so here we are.

Dems lied to get elected, this is news? lol
