BHO's not-so-new kind of politics

BHO has staked his claim to fame on a couple of things. One of those (a major one) has been a "new kind of politics." He's supposed to be our knight in shining armor, riding in to rid us of the partisan bickering, the twisting of words, the disingenuous attacks on opponents, etc.

This is important because his "100 years of war" claim flies in the face of his "new kind of politics" claim.

Here, in a nutshell, is yet another way in which BHO is a hypocrite:

John McCain says he's fine with us being in Iraq for 100 years "as long as Americans aren't being injured or harmed or wounded or killed" and cites the examples of Japan and South Korea as circumstances under which he would accept a long-term U.S. presence in Iraq.



Then along comes BHO and claims that McCain "is willing to send our troops into another hundred years of war in Iraq." At best, that's a terrible mischaracterization of McCain's stance on Iraq. I'll let you judge for yourself whether this represents a "new kind of politics" or the same old crap.

David Axelrod, BHO's chief campaign strategist, even defends BHO's lie. He claims that BHO "is not saying that Sen. McCain said we'd be at war for a hundred years." Both men (BHO and Axelrod, not John McCain) are liars imo. Watch the video and judge for yourself:

HRC's Honesty Obstacle

Because the Democrats have been on a big "Fairness Doctrine" kick lately, I want to be "fair" to HRC and give her her due when she's earned it. In an event that has become so routine it is almost suprising that it is still considered newsworthy, another politician with the last name Clinton told another lie. Shocking as this may be to many of you, I hope you'll be able to struggle on after your hopes and dreams for change (or am I confusing my liberals here?) have been crushed.

I had written a long post detailing the intricacies (intentional, repetetive, etc.) of HRC's "sniper fire" claim, but then along came Frank Rich with a much better article about it. I'll just say that I find it terribly demeaning to our soldiers who face REAL sniper fire.

And speaking of demeaning people (unborn ones this time), BHO's silver tongue is losing a bit more of its sparkle: "If [my daughters] make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby." What a terrible attitude to have about the miracle of life (and personal responsibility).

Also, looks like BHO was misleading (or mis-remembered, as that appears to be the new DC buzzword) about whether he actually saw / handled / wrote on a questionaire showing his liberal streak. Among other things, it said he wanted to ban handguns. As funny as it is to watch this apparent contest between HRC and BHO to out-lie each other, I hope you don't need to know that he filled out this questionaire to know that BHO is a flaming liberal (as is HRC).

Anyways, that's enough funny business for today (or at least one would hope!)
