For those slamming Congress?

Question

You do realize that the Republicans tried to cut off funding for the troops in Kosovo in the 90's and that Gingrich went to China against Clinton's wishes, right? The more things change the more they stay the same.

It's amazing how Rep. can justify their hypocracy....Newt and the Rep. Congress were no different...wasn't Clinton the "Decider"

Answer 1

And? Nothing has changed in 200 years.
Politician = Corruption.

Answer 2

There is a real purpose to "slamming congress" no matter what party is in the majority.

"We the people" have the right and obligation to highligh aything that we find wrong with the practices and decisions of our law makers. It is the vey foundation of our country.

As for your example, you may or ma not be mis-informed. Do your research and look at everything you can find on the subject and make a decision from the evidence.

Answer 3

just to working stiff: Gotta pay the bills.
Clinton had us at a surplus...Now...8 trillion or more deficit. War costs 1/2 trillion$, but all those bills not in yet.
Just one serious head injury, long term 18,000,000$, per person. Don't blame your tax increase on the Democrats. It was Bush's war. A war of choice.
I don't want to pay for it either, since I was against it from the beginning.
Maybe the best way to end it is everyone who believes in it sends a check to Bush and once it's gone, Iraq liberation over.

Answer 4

i'm a Democrat, and a self-professed liberal (proud to assert it) and NO, I won't end slamming Congress for promoting me and united statesa. out to George W. Bush's obdurate, ill-conceived, deceitful and unhelpful demands. To think of that 1000's might die because of the fact Congress says no to the President ability, to me, one in all 2 issues. the two a) the President is prepared to permit the troops he so ardently helps to pass with out the mandatory components they choose if his demands are not met, in actuality taking them hostage, or b) the President and his administration is only too inept to be attentive to a thank you to establish that, with each and all of the TRILLIONS the US government spends consistent with annum, there is money to fund a secure delivery homestead for the troops. it is likewise a threat that a mix of those 2 is genuine, that the administration is the two obdurate and incompetent, and if so, then Congress might desire to step up and handbook them, telling the forms what has to ensue lest extra troops die decrease than Bush's lackluster (to be advantageous) management. it is unpopular to assert this, however the Congress isn't doing what's in united statesa.'s best pursuits, which may well be to end this conflict ideal now. it is extra of a self-interest; the Democratic Congress is prepared to permit extra squaddies to combat and die in Iraq, day after agonizing day, to bleed out our militia, only so as that they might proceed to hold Bush and the GOP in charge for the conflict interior the 08 elections. it is relatively reprehensible. Political calculations have entered their head: what's going to they say approximately us if we decrease off money now? we are going to be seen as anti-militia, and anti-national risk-free practices. This loss of concentration from the very mandate that have been given them their majority is grounds to recruit new congressional applicants commencing ideal now. you are able to desire to be kidding with me, you're "not extremely joyful" approximately Iraq. attempt pissed, depressed, accountable, ashamed and distraught over this disaster of epic proportions. And upload onto that this new certainty that the only people who might pledge to oppose it have given up, like such assorted others. Democracy is failing us, tests and balances are failing us, and united statesa. is being kicked as quickly as back interior the groin by using the excellent-govt branch and an obedient legislature. No, i won't with all due appreciate genuflect to this Congress till I see some management, 'til I see some cahones. Nancy Pelosi, develop a pair.

Answer 5

What is wrong now, was wrong then, assuming the conditions were the same. At the same time, the conditions for one of those cases was not.
Kosovo involved invading a sovereign country that had NOT attacked us.
Iraq was a nation that attacked one of our allies (Kuwait), financially supported attacks on another ally (Israel), attacked us when we defended Kuwait, shot at us during the cease-fire, tried to kill one of our Presidents, all of which are legitimate reasons to respond militarily.

Kosovo was trying to change a nation without any attack on us or our interests. That's why we haven't attacked Iran, yet.

I didn't know about Gingrich (missed that). If he did, it was seditious. I'll do some research.

Answer 6

Dennis Hastert went to Colombia and specifically told the military and officials to bypass the White House, then they make him speaker of the House....hypocrisy runs rampant...

WASHINGTON –– While the Clinton administration was pressuring Colombia to stop human rights abuses, Rep. Dennis Hastert was telling the country's police and military leaders that rights concerns were overblown, a newly declassified government document says.

In a May 1997 visit to Colombia before becoming House speaker, Hastert "decried 'leftist-dominated'" U.S. Congresses of years past that "used human rights as an excuse to aid the left in other countries," according to a cable signed by then-Ambassador Myles Frechette.

Hastert "vowed that he was committed to correcting that situation," it said.

Hastert also encouraged Colombian military and police to bypass the White House and deal directly with Congress, the cable said.

Answer 7

I will continue to slam Pelosi and her radicals as long as I want, they deserve it. already, they are working on a 400 billion dollar tax hike, and what was that they promised again??? oh ya "WE WILL NOT RAISE TAXES." as if this was a surprise to anyone. and as for the congress, they want to withhold funding for the troops, and Kosovo ( pinhead ) was never sanctioned by congress, Iraq was.

Answer 8

Congress, including all the Liberal Democrats voted to attack Iraq.
Congress did not vote to go to War in Kosovo!
Again, another Lie by a Liberal!

Answer 9

You look kind of funny for a turd.

Do you have a problem with people expressing their first amendment rights? I bet you do. Its your socialist ideals or nothing, right commie?

There are two types of people in the world, those that do, and those that talk..........I am pretty sure which one you are.

Answer 10

Don't forget that Clinton promised that he wouldn't send troops to Kosovo and once he changed his mind, he promised to have them home within six months. Then, when he changed his mind, he promised to have them home by the time he left office. They're still there.
