I am more of a middle-of-the-road person politically....consider myself a " Jack Kennedy" sort of person - while believing that no one should be hungry or lacking a place to sleep in our great country, fiercely Conservative in all matters of Defense and fiscal policy....It was what Kennedy believed in and exhibited.....
SO....when today's DEMS act like the world doesn't remember what they did and when, it shows they are without morals or integrity.
The Media Wags are all applauding POTUS for replacing General McCrystal with General Petraus, BUT the memory of these liberal weenies is short....while the rest of us remember what they said before....
" WASHINGTON (Friday, September 21, 2007) — The Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a measure condemning MoveOn.org for a newspaper ad it ran last week attacking Gen. David Petraeus. The move came as President Bush accused Democrats of cowering to the liberal political action group.
. . . Partisans also took the opportunity to slam Clinton and Obama for not voting on the amendment.
“Senators Clinton and Obama need to decide whether they’re running for America, or running for MoveOn.org. If Clinton and Obama cannot bring themselves to take a stand against a vicious attack on the man leading our forces in Iraq, why should American voters believe they are capable of demonstrating the leadership we need in a commander in chief?” said Republican National Committee chairman Mike Duncan."
HEAR, HEAR....we echo the words of the learned Gentleman from the RNC.
Liberal Idiots think we are either unable to remember or that their actions have no consequences.....both choices show them to be lacking any sense of right and wrong....
The American people are smarter than they believe and they will see what they get when November rolls around.

The President Practices (nay, exalts) Revisionist History
The NY TIMES reports on the President's remarks at West Point this weekend:
Mr. Obama all but declared victory in Iraq, praising the military, but not Mr. Bush, for turning it around. “A lesser Army might have seen its spirit broken,” he said. “But the American military is more resilient than that.”
Funny how he practices ( nay, exalts) revisionist history as the NY Daily News reported back in 2008.....
NOW, as in then, there were those of us who left our sweat, blood & tears on the ground over there who were the one who PAID the price, while JACKARSES like our " Fearless Leader" sat on his fat arse and carped about how the SURGE was doomed to failure....
TOO BAD the Internet is forever and we have the means to call him out when he tries to shine the bull-crap......
I can sum this all up with an old Irish saying
" The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. "- George Bernard Shaw
Barack Obama purges Web site critique of surge in Iraq

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama's campaign scrubbed his presidential Web site over the weekend to remove criticism of the U.S. troop "surge" in Iraq, the Daily News has learned.The presumed Democratic nominee replaced his Iraq issue Web page, which had described the surge as a "problem" that had barely reduced violence. "The surge is not working," Obama's old plan stated, citing a lack of Iraqi political cooperation but crediting Sunni sheiks - not U.S. military muscle - for quelling violence in Anbar Province.
The News reported Sunday that insurgent attacks have fallen to the fewest since March 2004. Obama's campaign posted a new Iraq plan Sunday night, which cites an "improved security situation" paid for with the blood of U.S. troops since the surge began in February 2007. It praises G.I.s' "hard work, improved counterinsurgency tactics and enormous sacrifice."
Campaign aide Wendy Morigi said Obama is "not softening his criticism of the surge. We regularly update the Web site to reflect changes in current events." GOP rival John McCain zinged Obama as a flip-flopper. "The major point here is that Sen. Obama refuses to acknowledge that he was wrong," said McCain, adding that Obama "refuses to acknowledge that it [the surge] is succeeding."
