Obama, the Republican 5th Column?
#65
RE: Obama, the Republican 5th Column?
I wasn't thrilled about the whole Iraq debacle either but the fingers were all pointing to Iraq at the time and most people believed the people doing the pointing.
I've forgiven many of the politicians that signed on to the idea (including Hilliary) but I honestly believe that certain individuals need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law regarding the misdirection and propoganda campaign involving that war. As such, I don't qualify her involvement in that mess as a reason to not vote for her - as even many relatively skeptical people about decision to go to war signed onto it at the time.

It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth all the lies upon lies that led to combat in Iraq, but she believed it was the right thing to do and she still defends that decision to this day. On one hand, I admire the people (who weren't directly responsible for misleading the public and congress) who stuck by that decision despite it's clear unpopularity but on the other hand it would have taken more courage to be much more unpopular then by saying no to everyone else.

Obama is still second tier Presidential material compared even to that but he has two more years to rectify this situation instead of allowing the minority party to rule the country.

Speaking, however, of Judges who ruled against the unconstitutionality of Healthcare reform...

Judge Who Ruled Health Care Reform Unconstitutional Owns Piece of GOP Consulting Firm

Quote:Henry E. Hudson, the federal judge in Virginia who just ruled health care reform unconstitutional, owns between $15,000 and $50,000 in a GOP political consulting firm that worked against health care reform. You don't say!

I love how conservatives always like to talk about activist judges and their biased agendas, except, of course, for the ones heavily in the tank for the conservative agenda.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
