Chafee raps Clinton as Bush enabler
The Associated Press

Former Sen. Lincoln Chafee, the lone Republican senator to vote against the Iraq war, calls Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton one of the "Democratic Bush enablers" who failed to stand up to the president.

In a new book, Chafee, who is backing Clinton rival Sen. Barack Obama, skewers Clinton and other Democratic White House hopefuls who said they were duped by Bush into voting for the war.

"Being wrong about sending Americans to kill and be killed, maim and be maimed, is not like making a punctuation mistake in a highway bill," Chafee writes. "They argue that the president duped them into war, but getting duped does not exactly recommend their leadership. Helping a rogue president start an unnecessary war should be a career-ending lapse of judgment, in my view."

Chafee says top Democrats put their political ambitions first in the fall of 2002....

3. K&R! Good for him
The lone repuke in the Senate to stand up against his party and Bush calls out the cowardly calculating Dems who voted for this fucking, bankrupting disaster.

Good for him! I well remember how pissed I was at all my Dem hopefuls back in 2002. I expected repukes to go along but not HRC, Kerry or Biden. They failed the test of leadership and political courage when it mattered most!

4. Don't ever forget this or the Kyle-Liberman vote Clinton made! This is the deal breaker for me!
I cannot hold myself any longer on posting every chance I get that Bill has made millions off Dubai and Saudi dealings. How can he go into the White House with Hillary and not be vetted as a lobbiest for these companies? He worked to get the Port Deal through but Hillary voted against it - duh! If she was part of Bill's Administration as she says how can she deny Bill being part of hers?????

Why in the H do you think Jim Cramer and others want her in the White House??? Cramer said that on Hardball tonight! She is going to do things like Bill did with the swinging door to the Lincoln Bedroom! I know you people all know about this and if you don't look it up!

And if you just don't care then you deserve what you get if and when she steals the election!!!!!!

:nopity:
