What I think.......

Politicians make me sick. All of them. None of them think twice about talking out of both sides of their mouths, if it means getting a vote off someone. For instance 'Sens. Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid and Dick Durbin have accused President George Bush of ,lying about Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction, insisting he "lied us into war." They are even floating the suggestion that he be impeached.' (This is taken from the Federalist Patriot)

Ok, now, this is not meant to be a post on whether or not we should be in Iraq. It is a post about politicians who well......I already said that.

So, we have these people jumping on Bush. Here are their accusations:


"The Bush administration misrepresented and distorted the intelligence to justify a war that America should never have fought." --Ted Kennedy

"We all know the Vice President's office was the nerve center of an operation designed to sell the war and discredit those who challenged it. ... The manipulation of intelligence to sell the war in Iraq...the Vice President is behind that." --Harry Reid

"I seconded the motion Sen. Harry Reid made last week. Republicans in Congress have refused, despite repeated promises, to investigate the Bush administration's misuse of pre-war intelligence, so Senate Democrats are standing up and demanding the truth." -- Dick Durbin, who recently compared U.S. troops to the Nazis and Pol Pot.'

Ok, fair enough. BUT, look what these people said just a few years ago...


'Harry Reid: "The problem is not nuclear testing; it is nuclear weapons. .... The number of Third World countries with nuclear capabilities seems to grow daily. Saddam Hussein's near success with developing a nuclear weapon should be an eye-opener for us all."

Dick Durbin: "One of the most compelling threats we in this country face today is the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Threat assessments regularly warn us of the possibility that...Iraq...may acquire or develop nuclear weapons."

John Kerry: "If you don't believe...Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me."

John Edwards: "Serving on the Intelligence Committee and seeing day after day, week after week, briefings on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and his plans on using those weapons, he cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons, it's just that simple. The whole world changes if Saddam ever has nuclear weapons."

Nancy Pelosi: "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology, which is a threat to countries in the region, and he has made a mockery of the weapons-inspection process."

Sens. Levin, Lieberman, Lautenberg, Dodd, Kerrey, Feinstein, Mikulski, Daschle, Breaux, Johnson, Inouye, Landrieu, Ford and Kerry in a letter to Bill Clinton: "We urge you, after consulting with Congress and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions, including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."'




Now, who is playing with the truth here? Are these people concerned, truly concerned, for the welfare of the US and the world? Or, are they spewing whatever will get them recognition now, for votes in the future?

I suppose I can be called a Libertarian.

Maybe it is time the United States had a third party.

I believe that terrorists, no matter what language they speak, should be stopped and that anyone supporting those terrorists should be fined and/or sentenced to some sort of jail term. There is no good reason for terrorism. Just because the IRA has such cute accents, does not give them license to bomb England. Just because Muslims disagree with the west does not give them the license to bomb.

Somehow, this has to be stopped. Do I have the answer. Nope. But, I will not change or try to cover up my opinions come election time.

Oh, and one more thing. The Democrats have been scrambling, trying to figure out why they lost the last election. I can tell them. It's the CANDIDATES, STUPID!
