With shoe on other foot, a Democrat cries foul
Washington Examiner ^ | 1-04-10 | Chris Stirewalt

McCaskill, who used a wounded Iraq veteran and a woman with Parkinson's disease in her ads attacking Talent for budget votes and stem cell policy, also attacked Bush for domestic wiretapping.

And she favored withdrawing all troops from Iraq by 2008 because the Bush troop surge was "a wild failure" that had bred a "culture of dependency" in Iraq. "We are not breeding a democracy," she warned.

But that was a long time ago, politically speaking -- before McCaskill became one of the first senators to endorse Barack Obama, before she voted to extend the same domestic wiretapping she once deplored, before she joined her fellow Democrats in congratulating the Iraqis on their new framework for national elections, before Obama committed 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan and before he became responsible for keeping Americans safe from terrorism.

McCaskill is a particularly disgusting piece of Democrat cow dung. She used Michael J Fox against Talent and I want to know this......has he been cured since the Dems took control of the House and the Senate in 2006? No? You're kidding me. I was sure he'd be cured after the Dems took control of the WH, the House and the Senate in 2008. No? Leftists are nothing but LIARS and OPPORTUNISTS. OK, I'll calm down now.

Fox manages to keep a good lid on the disease with medication, but for the benefit of McCaskill in the past election cycle, he went off the drugs for a while to become dramatis personae to "enhance" his performance.

Without medication, he looks very bad, and it's hard not to feel sorry for him in that condition.

What he did was utterly shameless, and I think he did have some influence on the election's outcome as a result.

Consequently, his stature, such as it was, fell in my eyes.

Too bad. I liked him when he was younger.

CA....

As a Canadian, why isn’t Mr. Fox partaking in the wonderful nationalized health care of Canada? Surely it has a cure for his disease. Doesn’t it?

McCaskill is a particularly nasty example of the low life scum that represent the Democrat party. She is cunning and without any moral restraints. The woman will do anything to advance her personal interests and those of the unholy alliance called the Democrat party.

Agree. Used to like him, no use for him now with his emotional manipulation of the voters in 2006. He’s shameless, too.

She used Michael J Fox against Talent...

The Democrats also used the Fox sympathy act to get the embryonic cloning amendment approved. She conducted a dirty campaign and my opinion of her is about as low as you can get. Recently, she tried to cover herself by initially being critical of the firing of Gerald Walpin but she quickly accepted the results of an "investigation" which whitewashed the entire scandal.

I like the way you guys talk--heartwarming. Mark Reardon (who has KMOX's air in St Louis after Rush) says he likes her. Generally Reardon is a reasonable chap. He should reevaluate.
