These are the same idiots who were breaking out in hives only a week ago, complaining that the President 'didn't do enough to prevent 9/11'.

What hypocrites. Wednesday, June 12, 2002

Quote of the Day by Dog Gone

Thanks for the link to the quote. Dog gone is right on the money.

[JohnHuang2]

You're welcome. Dog Gone is always on the money ;^)

It's no surprise that McCain sides with the terrorists. His relatives weren't killed on 9/11.

[Diogenesis]

These people care more about posturing for publicity,
then about US security.

"Two senators questioning detention without charges"

Simple solution....File some charges against him.

"Spitting on the sidewalk","swearing at the police", "exposing himself in public" etc.. And then "lose" him in the system!

Quite easy as I remember....

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Hi there John, so how do you think McCain's presidential campaign will go, with Bill Kristol as his spokesman? You seem to be on a later shift today.

[AppyPappy]

I also find it amazing that politicians keep the Constitution in a toilet stall most of the time but drag it out to put on an altar when they need it to defend the enemies of our nation.

[JohnHuang2]

Good morning, amigo.

...how do you think McCain's presidential campaign will go, with Bill Kristol as his spokesman?

Not very far, regardless of who he selects as campaign 'spokesman'; but any candidate stupid enough to pick Kristol deserves to lose =^)

Re: #8 -- well said.

McKainiac is the LAST person we need to have any influence on national policy. Remember that fool wanted to send ground troops against the Taliban before we dropped the daisy cutters. And what kind of hypocrit would have the nerve to worry about constitutuional rights after trashing The Constitution with his CFR?

[scan58]

Sen. John McCain, R(joke)-Ariz., added that ``the attorney general has to come up with a rationale for why they're doing this. They've got to make their case.''

Oh?

Padilla, 31, is confined indefinitely in a military brig in Charleston, S.C., as a ''military combatant,'' which means he can be detained for an unspecified period without facing trial.

Sounds like "a rationale" to me, McCain.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I'm not a constitutional or legal expert, but if RINO's and other social leftists think we can win the war against terrorism in a politicaly correct manner then we are doomed.

The President is right. Padilla is a "bad guy" and needs to be "detained" in order to protect innocent civilians and to learn what he knows about al-Qaida operators in America.

[JohnHuang2]

Exactly...and weren't these the drooling morons belly-aching that Bush didn't do enough to prevent 9/11?

[JohnHuang2]

Re: 13 -- My sentiments exactly.

[angkor]

``I think that guy's got to be kept in detention, but I think the definition is a congressional matter.''

Bring it up for a vote, Arlen. Sponsor the bill. Put your name on it.

[TYVets]

It sounds like these two rinos were wanting some air time.

[Miss Marple]

Good morning! I see McCain is poking his head up out of his foxhole again, hoping to lead yet another charge against the President.

One would think he would have learned his lesson by now.

[Galtoid]

And, Arlen . . . put it up for your beloved SCOTTISH vote!

[jos65]

You are exactly right.

No matter the crisis, they are always there, second guessing and utilizing the photo-op.
