[babylonsister]

Edited boo-boo.

1. Oh, here it comes. Swiftboat time.

[AlCzervik]

2. Duncan Hunter better come on the tube here in sacramento and explain

why he's lyinh his ass off in a commercial for disgusting Richard Pombo. The local news fact checked Pombo's add and they basically said it was full of shit.

[Coexist]

3. I am getting a WJ re-run.

[babylonsister]

7. I am too; they said he'd be coming up shortly. ??? nt

[spanone]

4. Thanks for the warning....Locking C-span

[stepnw1f]

5. The Man is a Lying Asshole

who should go to jail. Politicians who lie to the people as much as this prick does, should be locked up. I am serious.... these types get away with this, and now look at what we have.

[butterfly77]

6. Who is running against him in the election ...

what is he going to discuss what they were eating when they were murdered?

[babylonsister]

8. Maybe defend the soldiers who committed the atrocities, or

swiftboat Murtha, as someone up thread said? :shrug:

[Greeby]

9. "Two fruits" Hunter is up now nt

[eleny]

10. He's on C-Span2 now

Oops - I didn't type fast enough!

[eleny]

11. He's worried

After giving details of the investigation process, he's pointing out all the medals awarded to troops in Iraq. He says he doesn't want the troops to take a beating in the press for what happened with one troop on one day.

[babylonsister]

12. He should be. But basically, this is a 'hurry up and wait' tactic.

When a report does come out, will we ever get the straight truth?

[eleny]

15. I agree with you

But it struck me as significant that he hurried to bring up the awarding of many medals for valor. Maybe that's par for the course.

I think it'll be hard for them to whitewash the killing of children if it's true that they were found dead in the position of prayer. Jeez, this is such a heartbreak.

13. Hunter should be worried of investigators coming after his ass

the way they came after his pal Cunningham's.

[warrens]

14. See my thread about Cunningham starting to sing

16. I saw it.

Right after I posted this, as a matter of fact.

:toast:

17. "I want to set the context"

Yeah, Hunter - Let's not talk about what those few marines did. Let's focus on all the good that the military does. Let's not think about the women and children that were murdered in cold blood. Let's think about Audie Murphy and John Wayne.
