Default Liberals vs. Liberals

It's going to be a nasty fight.

Liberal Activists Boo Clinton
Rejection of Iraq Timetable Gets Cool Reception at Conference

By Dan Balz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, June 14, 2006; Page A10

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) drew boos and hisses from an audience of liberal activists yesterday as she defended her opposition to a timetable for withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq, and later she received an implicit rebuke from Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) for failing to acknowledge that her support for the war was a mistake.

Clinton's and Kerry's appearances at the Take Back America conference at the Washington Hilton put on vivid display the Democratic Party's divisions over the foreign policy issue that dominates this year's midterm elections, and the two possible 2008 presidential candidates offered a preview of the debate that could dominate the battle for the party's nomination."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...v=rss_politics

Let's see.....how many different positions does this make for John Kerry on Iraq now? It has to be at least 4 or 5.

At least anti-war activists are consistent. they'll call out all the war supporters for what they really are.

That might surprise you.

The brand of liberalism that is emerging will surprise you

Default Hillbillary

Hillbillary says she's for not setting any time frame for troop withdrawal, and at the same time, she is against any open-ended timeframe for our troops remaining. Huh? Hillbillary, I know you are the smartest woman in the nation, but it's one or the other! Hillbilly could get away with such double-speak, but Hillbillary, you're no Hillbilly. You're nothing more than a shrieking, bitter woman. Hillbillary is the personification of PMS. And you know why they call it PMS? Because Bad Cow was already taken.

It's called victory. But you wouldn't know anything about that.

"Let me say it plainly," Kerry said. "It's not enough to argue with the logistics or to argue about the details or the manner of the conflict's execution or the failures of competence, as great as they are. It is essential to acknowledge that the war itself was a mistake, to say the simple words that contain more truth than pride. We were misled. We were given evidence that was not true. It was wrong, and I was wrong to vote for that Iraqi resolution."
Does anyone remember when he said that he would have voted the same way even if he had known that there were no WMDs? He really needs help with his continuity.

Victory? Or are you asking if abnd when you'll ever know anything about that?

Liberals are french. They do not win military battles, just posturing contests like their popinjay meaningless true French compatriots.

We'll win when liberals stand aside and let us get down to such matters. We won in World Wars I and II, but back then people understood right from wrong. In today's morally ambiguous NEA-indoctrinated classrooms, it's anyone's guess how little you actually believe and hold dear.

Funny thing. Geography became Social Studies, apologizing for our enemies and historical orphans who got textbook space simply because today's educrats decree these piffles Are Somebody. Maya Angelou, for example, or that insufferable Sacajaweja. Neither founded this nation, and Dead White Males actually did.

We will win when ignorance wanes and the real heroes are identified, and those heroes are most vehemently not located on our left. Cindy Sheehan is the scullery maid. If you leftists ever had Cinderella, it wasn't our halfwit Cindy. The real Cinderella with all her brain intact must have run away to join the circus, and left this Closing Time Cutie to take her place.

I can't imagine getting that drunk where I'd want to take Sheehan home. I just---can't---see it. Not even two fifths of Johnnie Red and a U-Haul filled with premium hothouse B.C. Bud could ever get me to even consider a roll in the hay with a ditch-diving psychopath.

Argh. Now I need a mouthwash.

Default what about the others?

Let's see - Al Gore? Seems he might run again. Then there's Mark Warner (my personal favorite, out of all the Dems - he's the only one of the potential Dem candidates with even an ounce of integrity).

I'm not so sure Hillary's going to get the nod - even her own party admits that she can't possibly win. Nominating her would be just another instance of the Dems clobbering themselves with their own ineptitude, wouldn't it? And besides, she so squirmish politically that the Reps would have a field day with her, and everyone knows it, so the only thing that remains to be seen is whether she'll bend over for the good of her Party, or whether all she wants is to be the first woman President.

"...when liberals stand aside"? Do you mean to tell me that you big, strong, tough, righties can't even handle a few wimpy little liberals. Is it the posturing you can't deal with? Or maybe the popinjay outfits? How are you going to take on the rest of the world if you can't get by the "French" liberals?

Oh, and pray tell, how exactly are the liberals stopping you? Let's see, President? Republican
House? Republican
Senate? Republican

Are they all liberals in Republican clothing standing in the way?

Oh you mean where we actually try and get the history books correct instead of purpetuating popular myths? Life isn't all neat and tied up in a little bow. It can be messy and ugly and we do not help our children by shielding them from it. People (even heroes) aren't perfect.

I'll stipulate the first part of the sentence. We need more heroes. I submit that we don't have them on either side of the aisle right now. Despite my leftward leanings, I would be willing to vote either party if I found someone I thought worthy. Sadly I was not impressed with any of the candidates on either side in last two elections.

How does the quote go? "Methinks thou dost protest too much"

Since no one brought up anything about taking Sheehan home, all I can think is that is one of your fantasies that you couldn't hold back from sharing with the rest of us. Thanks. Now we all feel soiled too.
