What did you do Daddy?

I want to be able to look my daughter in the face when she learns about the DEMS positions on rebuilding Iraq and our attempt to liberate and bring Democracy and freedom to the middle east. I want to be able to answer her question when she wants to know how I reacted when I saw the General BETRAY US ad in the New York Times. I want to be able to look myself in the mirror and know I am not hearing things when the DEMS now say they supported this effort all along. We are right (again) and I want to answer my daughter correctly when I tell her than I was on the right side!

Iraq will be the DEMS undoing... Well, Perhaps not due to the revisionist mainstream media who never fails to call DEMS and LIBS out for being proven so wrong on so many items. (See also the Cold War, Losing 10,000 troops the first week in Iraq, pulling out of Vietnam, opposing the 1664 Civil Rights Bill, the "Betray Us" ad, the smearing of Mitt Romney's religion, etc).

I love the good news out of Iraq - I love how America is finally seeing the DEMS for what they are - gutless and weak when it comes to supporting this country and what it stands for - liberty!

I often say America is not the problem, we are the solution. Here are some brilliant "Eat Crow" or "Stick this" cartoons on the subject of Iraq and how ridiculous Democrat "leaders" look.






How did we let this stand? That ad was so blatantly anti American and absolutely ridiculous! Weeks later remember that ABC refused to run an ad supporting our troops! Ah the mainstream media - great aren't they?









And the ultimate irony (sorry Alanis) when it comes to out troops and what they possibly could be thinking about the media, Democrats...


Man oh man I hope Hillary gets the nomination because it is going to be AWESOME to bring up all of the flip flops and outright lies she has told in public statements and in congress. Go to www.boortz.com and check out the compare Hillary quotes to the Communists of the world. It is sassy!! HA HA

Do They Think We're Stupid?

Do they think we’re stupid?

The Congressional Democrats have (once again) painted themselves into a corner in attempting to drum up the latest “Get Bush” scandal. In keeping with their notion that Americans have absolutely no attention span or memory to speak of, the DEMS are now calling for investigations and inquiries into the destruction of CIA video tapes of waterboarding & interrogations of terror suspects back in 2005. These are nothing more than Stalinist show trials in today’s America.

I would point out the other colossal backfires of the DEMS (the surge wont work, the Limbaugh smear, the General “Betray-Us” NYT ad to name a few) but it would do absolutely no good.

Apparently we all really don’t hold these officials accountable for anything they say, do or vote upon. How else can we describe the boldfaced lies and utter incompetent hypocrisy these people lay out for us? Democrat leaders either feel so superior to the public that they arrogantly feign ignorance over THEIR own statements and votes, or they are outright liars…

It is now known that many of the same people attempting to create the CIA tapes scandal were PRESENT at CIA security hearings describing the very actions they now publicly denounce! Let me restate… THEY ARE LIARS! The CIA director specifically told these members of congress exactly what they were doing.

Yet, long before “waterboarding” entered the public discourse, the CIA gave key legislative overseers about 30 private briefings, some of which included descriptions of that technique and other harsh interrogation methods, according to interviews with multiple U.S. officials with firsthand knowledge.1

With one known exception, no formal objections were raised by the lawmakers briefed about the harsh methods during the two years in which waterboarding was employed, from 2002 to 2003, said Democrats and Republicans with direct knowledge of the matter. The lawmakers who held oversight roles during the period included Pelosi and Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) and Sens. Bob Graham (D-Fla.) and John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), as well as Rep. Porter J. Goss (R-Fla.) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan).1

Nancy Pelosi lied to Chris Wallace of FOX News in an OCT 7 interview. She was BRIEFED back in 2002 by the CIA! Unbelievable. 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loUTeMDxiQM

WALLACE: The president now says that the leadership, the Congress, was fully informed and that this is not torture.

First question: Were you ever briefed about this policy or the secret Justice Department memos?

PELOSI: Well, in order to know if I’m briefed about it, I’d have to be briefed about it now. What exactly is the president talking about? Yes, let me get my credentials right out there. I’m the longest-serving member of Congress on the intelligence committee, both on the committee and ex officio as a leader. So we have been briefed on some tactics used by the administration.

But I’d have to see what we’re talking about here, because this is — all I know is what I’ve read in the New York Times.

Naturally. So the longest standing member of the intelligence committee is a partisan hack, a proven liar, and an avid New York Times reader. Pelosi no doubt has the op-ed page placed daily under her pillow. And apparently drinks a bottle of “shame eliminator nectar” and “accountability abandonment elixir” each morning before heading off to the House to undermine our country.

Just for laughs you should all review the credibility meter on the congressional Democrats sometime soon. You will be amazed at the audacity they all have. On my sports radio program this morning the host was incredulous as to how Isiah Thomas still had his job coaching the Knicks after an $11 million settlement was paid to a woman he sexually harassed. "How does this happen?" the host lamented... and then I stumbled across this gem:

So to answer the question posed in the title of this essay, it is undoubtedly a resounding “YES!” As we play along with our blinders on.

Wake up. I am wide awake.

The Moderate Conservative President

The Moderate Conservative President

I am the President of the United States.

I believe America is the greatest nation ever conceived by man and stand true to its original tenets of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I will “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”

I believe America has the power and ability to control and shape international events, and the moral obligation to do so. “In the long history of the world only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom from its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility – I welcome it.”

I adhere to the basic values of the Republic as laid out by our founding fathers - the freedom of the individual, the value and quality of life and the importance of an equal opportunity to pursue prosperity. I understand Thomas Jefferson when he said "that government governs best that governs least," and I sought to provide a government of quality of ideas and leadership rather than quantity of bureaucracy and spending.

I believe in the rights of the individual and his right for freedom and liberty. I believe in personal responsibility for Americans. "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men." (3)

I believe in less taxation for our citizens and dramatically cut federal income taxes the moment I took office. This led to an unprecedented economic expansion for our country. (2)

I have a deeply religious faith; believe in Jesus Christ and the sacraments of the Church.

I believe people should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin as spoken so beautifully by Dr. Martin Luther King. "I don't think we can undo the past. In fact, the past is going to be with us for a good many years in uneducated men and women who lost their chance for a decent education. We have to do the best we can now. That is what we are trying to do. I don't think quotas are a good idea. I think it is a mistake to begin to assign quotas on the basis of religion or race — color — nationality…”

I advocate press self-censorship of highly classified and secret information for the security and good of our Nation and that news should be responsibly managed in the interest of national security. I have been highly criticized by the media for these views. (1)

I regret that in recent history nations have been lost to totalitarian regimes most notably China and I denounce the administrations of that day underestimating the threat and losing China to Communism.

"What our young men had saved, our diplomats and our President have frittered away"

I recognized that the Soviet Union was a threat and needed to be bested and not appeased.

I lament our nations misguided underestimation of the true evils of Communism and supported Senator Joe McCarthy fully, “how dare you couple the name of a great American patriot with that of a traitor?” I made McCarthy Godfather to my first born child. Senator McCarthy is totally vindicated with the 1995 release of the Verona project in which over 300 Soviet spies were proven to be working in the U.S. State department.

I believe Communism should be defeated wherever it thrives and support the removal or assassination of Fidel Castro. We need a better, unconventional counterinsurgency capability in order to prevent future Castros from obtaining power in the first place. Thus we support Latin American governments, even those too far to the right with techniques for crushing leftist opposition. (1)

“the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God."

“We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution.”

I wish America to resume its old mission as the first nation dedicated to the revolution of human rights. With the Alliance for Progress and the Peace Corps, I brought American idealism to the aid of developing nations. But the hard reality of Communism remains.

My voting record defines me by today's standards as a moderate conservative and not a liberal.

I am the President of the United States.

I am President John F. Kennedy.

Letter to the Editor

A Mind Numbingly Stupid Zing!

This is a concerned citizen responding to the most brain-dead preposterously off base zing I have ever come across in the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper. Liberals have no actual skills in debate other than to call the conservative “dumb” or to label them in some nefarious manner. When actual ideas are discussed the Dems have no substance to speak of. None. But the trotting out of the good old, “we don’t understand you so we must attack you” argument is truly worrisome.

How many HUGE examples of American grace and triumph over the tyrannies and evils of the world have to occur before the leftists abandon their tired and provably wrong positions on world affairs? Lets see… just off the top of my head, the liberals were proven WRONG on:

The USA entering WWII

The result of us leaving Vietnam

The removal of the Shaw of Iran ushering in the terrorist state we now see

The USA winning the cold war and defeating the Soviets

The effectiveness of the Star Wars defense system (recently tested last week and it worked! Again! No mention in these pages I would guess)

The treatment of al Queda as a criminal organization and not a serious wartime threat (remember 1993 when they first tried to topple the WTC? Oh wait are we allowed to mention that)?

The USA losing “more than 10,000 troops the first week” of the Iraq war

And these are just the foreign policy positions where liberals have been proven wrong. I could go on and bring up their silly positions on the economy, healthcare, public schools, taxes, the environment, the “rich” etc. That’s too obvious. Well, perhaps not. Smart, well meaning Black Americans still go into the booth on Election Day and just look for the “D” (over 85%) over and over again - which I cannot for the life of me understand. Perhaps someone can zing about that one.

I hereby challenge the buffoon who broke off with the “we attack people we don’t understand” zing to watch the Daniel Pearl or any other be-heading and try to draw a moral equivalence between us and them. Then you can state your morally bankrupt and completely false premise and throw words like “imperialism” and “neo con” (whatever that means) around.

I Love America. We are the greatest most tolerant nation on Earth and we need to stop apologizing and challenge these left wing fools right away.

Sincerely,

Tony O’Donnell

Rush to auction smear letter on ebay...? CLASSIC

the Ebay link to bid: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=260170172469&Category=4105


This is a classic example of when dumb people think they are outsmarting smart people. That is, dumb, ultra liberal socialist senators try to outsmart an uber successful conservative and patriot.




Hillary Clinton signed off on this smear letter. Unreal. Where are the Reagan Democrats? What is going on here? Clinton and now Gore now support a one payer top down healthcare system? Do we really want to become a true socialist nation? Seriously now!

Perhaps this will generate so much publicity that even the slowest, most Bush bashing-est big libs will finally see the true colors of their representation in the congress and vote these people out! Especially Hilary Clinton.

Jimmy Carter's latest

Jimmy Carter’s latest and greatest…

Ah CNN, providing insight into the minds of liberal, quasi-socialists since 1980:

In a recent CNN interview, former president Jimmy Carter was at it again. Always good for some anti-American jabs and kissing up to the latest tyrannical dictator (see Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, etc) Carter is good fodder for discussion, were he not so listened to and admired by the mainstream media and liberals whose vote counts as much as mine.

Jimmy Carter? I mean, Good Grief! What is the fascination? I loved and respected his efforts with his Habitat for Humanity program but he has stepped far beyond anything I can imagine. In responding to a softball question from the always delightful Wolf Blitzer, Carter provided this laugher - “well on Sept 11 George Bush was in the White House and the Republicans were in control. Under Clinton we were kept safe.” I almost fell out of my chair! This is like saying Clinton kept you safe while they brought out the cannon, loaded it and then aimed it at your head, but Bush was in charge when they yelled “fire!” So there!

This frail and stubborn ex President has thrown out all conscience and spews forth anti-American bile all over the world and on mainstream news shows regularly. Where does Carter get the moxie to cut down the U.S. and its allies? (Especially Israel. Jeez Louise). He is constantly talking down the greatest country ever conceived by man. He, along with Clinton for that matter, continues to show no class as they ignore longstanding tradition in criticizing a sitting President and Commander in Chief. Carter’s defense of Clinton is laughable at best and shameful at worst.

This is a can of worms that current Dems cannot be happy Carter has re-opened. But since he has… let us now review the Clinton record on National Security and his keeping Americans safe from terrorism. Enjoy!

Under the Clinton administration we saw:

February 26, 1993, the first attempt to topple the World Trade Center: 6 deaths and 1,042 injured – this one really baffles me as it is never mentioned these days at all.

1993, the bloodied corpse of a U.S. serviceman dragged through the streets of Mogadishu by a mob of rabid Somalis
June 25, 1996, the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia: 20 deaths and 372 injured

The 1996 decision to refuse the Sudan's offer to hand Osama bin Laden over to American authorities. Clinton believed there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute bin Laden. What about simply killing him? Hmmm. Clinton himself at a dinner in New York recently confessed his failure to respond to Sudan's initiative as "the biggest mistake of my presidency."
August 7, 1998, the attacks on American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania: 12 U.S. deaths out of a total of 223 deaths; 12 U.S. injured out of a total of over 4,000 injured
October 12, 2000, the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen: 17 deaths; 39 injured
September 11, 2001, the attacks in New York and Washington (occurred during Bush presidency but planned during Clinton administration): 2,975 deaths and 24 missing. (1)

An AJC Creative Loafing article sheds light on some of the more glaring policy errors in this area:

Exhibit A: The Federal Aviation Administration, during the Clinton years, was repeatedly warned by experts of the big holes that existed in security systems designed to protect commercial planes from terrorists. In a recent report on "60 Minutes," an expert involved in a clandestine project to check the system found that security was breached more than 90 percent of the time during some tests. Yet the FAA continued to insist that security was adequate. Writers note: Big Govt = Big problems as a result of = the “CYA” phenomenon.

Exhibit B: Clinton's CIA director issued an edict that prohibited the agency from employing anyone suspected of human rights abuses or serious criminal activity as an informant overseas. Given that terrorists don't generally travel in circles of sweetness and light, many intelligence analysts believe this prohibition made it almost impossible to infiltrate their networks. Writers note: Is this is first time “sweetness and light” is used in the media?

This restriction forced us to rely more on electronic surveillance (which can tell us where people and stuff are) and less on human intelligence (which we need to tell us what those people plan to do with that stuff). Thus did squishy liberal idealism backfire in the heat of the real world. As usual. Writers note: This type of surveillance has been the policy of law enforcement for decades. It is only when applied to the military and combating terrorism that the libs go into their protests on these methods. Even more ironic in that the Dems want to treat terrorism as a criminal matter!

Exhibit C: Some experts who have probed the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center found links between that attack and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein -- links critics insist were downplayed by the Clinton administration to avoid a potentially sticky and dangerous crisis with our old foe. We don't yet know if Saddam had anything to do with the recent attacks. If it turns out he did, we might conclude that our tepid response eight years ago wasn't helpful. Writers note: I personally do not think Saddam had anything to do with 9-11 and I still fully believe in and currently support the war in Iraq and the outcomes it brings. Not the least of which is Saddam’s demise.

Exhibit D: After the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in East Africa, the United States launched an attack on Osama bin Laden, sending cruise missiles to blow up a few of his tents. He survived and, with no further action taken against him, apparently struck again with much more ferocity and closer to home. Writers note: Recall that this occurred right after Clinton formally apologized for slavery! Clinton then ordered that diversionary missile attack…alert! This is called foreshadowing!

More fun tidbits:

Clinton National Security director Sandy Berger caught red-handed STEALING National Archives documents including a of the White House "after-action" report that he himself had commissioned, while still National Security director, to assess the Clinton administration's performance in responding to the so-called millennium terrorist threat before New Year's 2000. (3) This memo must be so damning to the administration that Berger would risk prison time to cover up… oh, wait he is a Democrat so he got to plead to a lesser crime and no jail time. Berger now serves as key advisor in the Hillary Clinton Presidential campaign. Wow!

The administrations unconscionable ignoring of the cries for help as more than 800,000 human beings are slaughtered in the Sudan. Clinton even called off a planned assist by the U.N. who amazingly wanted to intervene and do something meaningful for a change. Oh, just an FYI for all the people who claim Clinton as the “first black president” – the Sudan is in Africa and those human beings were… black!

The foreshadowing follow up. Did any of you notice how I made all of these great points without even mentioning the word “scandal?” Monica (and the scores of other lady accusers, N.O.W., etc) can thank me later. Let’s just say jumping from scandal to scandal could have had an effect on Clinton taking his eye off the ball. Those diversionary missiles and trip to Africa were attempts to divert attention away from the Lewinski affair. That aside, even with both eyes on the ball Clinton’s liberal views and ineptitude in dealing with terrorism led us to where we are today.

Jimmy Carter likes to bad mouth the Bush administration as an attempt to sway attention away from Clinton’s failings and his own dubious distinction as the worst ever U.S. President. After all, his policies in getting the Shaw of Iran out ushered in the modern day, terrorist heavy Middle East we have at present. Carter never met a dictator he didn’t like and he never met a legitimate United States proactive military action he agreed with. Oh, except that brilliant attempt at rescuing our hostages in Iran.

Where were you that fateful morning?

Where were you that fateful morning?

Tony O’Donnell

I remember where I was that morning. I woke up in the bedroom of my house I rented in Tallahassee, FL along with 4 other roommates. It was a typical day – up late, trying to plan the day and shake off the night before.

We turned on the news and sat stunned at what we saw. New York City. There was massive smoke, ash and debris pouring out of the World Trade Center. Firefighters and Police were furiously running around trying to maintain order and calm the obviously terrified citizens, all knowing that at any moment more damage to the tower could manifest itself as a total building collapse. Not too mention one tower toppling into the other killing over 250,000 people. This troubling point was not lost on us as we discussed the potential horror ahead.

“They had better get everyone out of those towers!” I remember someone saying. No one replied. We were all simply too scared to talk and admittedly drawn towards the TV in an attempt to get any information at all, and to bare witness to this entire spectacle unfolding in front of our eyes. Who would do this? Who could pull something like this off? Why were we taken so off guard?

The building suffered massive structural damage after the initial attack. The blast cut off the center's main electrical power line and cut off telephone service for much of lower Manhattan. The bomb caused smoke to rise up to the 93rd floor of both towers, and cut off the towers' four stairwells and emergency lighting system. Also as a result of the loss of electricity most of New York City's radio and television stations lost their over-the-air broadcast signal for almost a week, with television stations only being able to broadcast via cable and satellite via a microwave hookup between the stations and three of the New York area's largest cable companies, Cablevision, Comcast, and Time Warner Cable.

The terrorists reportedly wanted the smoke to remain in the tower, therefore catching the public eye by smothering people inside, killing them slowly. He anticipated Tower One collapsing onto Tower Two. Later on after the investigation of the attack it was revealed that the terrorists received financing from al-Qaeda. Leader Khaled Shaikh Mohammed admitted that the World Trade Center attack was an act of terrorism, but that this was justified because "the terrorism that Israel practices (which America supports) must be faced with a similar one." (1)

At this point my head was spinning with the notion that we are seen as this “great Satan” to much of the Middle Eastern world. Remember that most of these areas are vastly poor and completely uneducated regions of the world. Mark Steyn recently spoke to this point on an interview with Mark Levin when he cited statistics showing that Spain had translated more books in the past year than most Middle Eastern countries had in the past 1000 years. This helps to understand the lack of reason in this area of the world but does not in any way excuse unprovoked attacks on U.S. citizens.

Bottom Line: America is not the problem, it is the solution. Until the Middle East (and the rest of the civilized world for that matter) understands and accepts this simple principle we are in for a long and dangerous ride. How many times must we defend the principles of LIBERTY and Free Markets? We as Americans can pursue any avenue we so choose. We are not restrained by anything except our own personal work ethic and drive to succeed. Capitalism has its inherent “evils” of inequity, but these pale when compared with the Communist model or outright Fascist rule. Top down big government that comes in disguise to help “the children” or “the poor” does the very opposite by continuing to create masses of people dependant on the government for their very way of life. America is a great country filled with decent and wonderful people.

Yet we are attacked by terrorists who would rather cut off the head of a captured American journalist to make their point than enter into any type of discussion or negotiation. These people are still in the dark ages for all practical purposes, so any debate would be folly. Only a pro-active “War on Terror” (although I hate that phrase) will ultimately rid the world of these murderous zealots. We must stand together on this principle. This is after all the MAIN role of our Federal Government, the protection of its citizens.

The attack on the World Trade Center was truly a horrible and unprecedented event in U.S. history.

I remember where I was that morning.

The morning of February 26, 1993. The morning of the FIRST attack on the World Trade Center.

(1) Wikapedia.org excerpts

the liberal media - - REAL. Believe it. Fear it.

Tony O's random sampling of the "so called liberal media" –

All in the past 2-3 weeks! WOW!

The Marines facing charges in connection with the alleged massacre of 24 Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha two years ago were cleared of wrongdoing Thursday. No credible evidence was found showing the soldiers did anything criminal.

No retraction from TIME magazine and virtually no coverage of this whatsoever.

Key Democrat campaign donor Norman Hsu is currently sitting in prison on 15 year old grand theft and various other charges. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton will give to charity the $23,000 in donations she has received from a fundraiser who is wanted in California for failing to appear for sentencing on a 1991 grand theft charge.

The decision came Wednesday as other Democrats began distancing themselves from Norman Hsu, whose legal encounters and links to other Democratic donors have drawn public scrutiny in the past two days. Al Franken, a Senate candidate in Minnesota, Reps. Michael Honda and Doris Matsui of California and Rep. Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania said they would divest their campaigns of Hsu's donations.

Since 2004, one Norman Hsu has been carving out a prominent place of honor among Democratic fundraisers. He has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into party coffers, much of it earmarked for presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

If this was a Republican donor this story would be off the charts! Front page daily.

AIDS conference features President Bush in effigy with blood on his hands and administration health officials are booed of stage. The Bush administration has given more money to fund AIDS research in the U.S. and even in preventative programs in Africa than any other administration. This is why Republicans should forever shed their "compassionate conservative" approach: they get absolutely no credit and are always painted as uptight and unable to deal with issues like this.

This information and statistics are right there in the public record but are never featured in stories in the national media

The New York Times printing the "General Betray us" ad. This hilariously offensive full page ad ran under the discounted "advocacy rate" and saved the Clinton front group moveon.org 100K in costs. In the past The Times has refused to run other "advocacy ads" from the Swiftboat Vets for Truth, the National Rifle Association and National Right to Life organizations (which would obviously be on the conservative side). The fact the ad is not even remotely truthful or accurate in the least and smears a highly honorable and distinguish military leader misses an important point. This printing did not even lead to any of the Democrat Presidential candidates to disavow themselves from this ad. To her credit Nancy Pelosi (amazingly) did condemn this attack ad publicly.

There can no longer be this notion of "supporting the troops but not the mission." I don't care what political party you belong to, this ad is repulsive and remember that all the major DEM candidates for the Presidency spoke at the moveon.org convention and gobble up their donation money. What a joke.

When my daughter grows up and this ad shows up in a history text book someplace, I want to be able to answer her proudly when she asks me "Dad, what did you do when the NY Times ran this moveon.org ad?"

The proposed visit by Iranian President Ahmadinejad to NY City and ground zero further illustrates the "do you like your country" premise. This is the leader of a country currently training fighters to go into Iraq and kill US troops. By US troops I mean people… someone's FAMILY MEMBER. Iran is a longtime state sponsor of terrorism and uses their puppet arm Hezbollah to execute terror attacks in Israel and other democratic and other US allied nations.

His visitation request was denied, but then we look to the Ivy League (naturally) to find another hypocrisy gone amok. Columbia University has formally invited the Iranian leader to speak as a guest of honor at their campus. This is unbelievable in all respects. They do this in the quest of "free speech" when anyone with a conservative bent gets booed off the stage or as in the case of the leader of the minutemen, gets assaulted and cannot even speak at all. The historical implications of this make this latest insult even more alarming when you consider Columbia invited Nazis to speak on campus and attended events in their honor in the past. Unreal.

Compare coverage of Republican scandals and Democrat scandals. Sordid hypocrisy versus private issues or even celebration of being brave.

Where are the Hispanic groups challenging the unconstitutional drubbing of Alberto Gonzales? Where are the Black American groups celebrating the success of powerful national figures like Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell?

When Democrats bring up people like Foley and Craig, simply answer that if they did anything criminal they should be prosecuted and sent to prison. Period. Then sit back and watch their minds try to reconcile their shameful defense of Bill Clinton in all of the "private matters" of that day, including the 52 counts of federal perjury. I voted for Clinton TWICE as he was the best candidate, but cannot square this and cannot get over the fact he pointed at me on TV and lied to my face.
