Why do dems keep APOLOGIZING? Hillary apologizes to McCain!

[Gabi Hayes]

Leslie keeps teasing this....coming up on CNN

she should DEMAND he apologize for LYING about what happened in North Korea!!!!

this is beyond infuriating.....

Some basic facts.

The 1994 crisis came about because the North Koreans were producing weapons-grade plutonium. Under the Agreed Framework, they agreed to shutter the plutonium production facility and put the already produced plutonium under international oversight.

In return, the US promised aide , help building lightwater reactors (which don't help with bombs) and diplomatic normalization.

That agreement kept the plutonium operation on ice until the end of 2002.

President Bush came to office wanting to pull out of the agreement and did so when evidence surfaced suggesting that the North Koreans were secretly trying to enrich uranium (a separate path to the bomb).

The bomb that went off yesterday was made with plutonium, the same stuff that was off-limits from 1994-2002. In all likelihood some of the same stuff that was on ice from 1994-2002.

1. Because....

they still are soooooo fearful of being called "not tuff on terra"!!

:puke:

2. She's apologizing for something an AIDE (reportedly) said... not her!

And there's nothing wrong with that.

The media would hound her to death if she didn't indicate that SHE would never say such a lame thing.


If you ask me.. it's the r-THUGS who are running around apologizing for everything lately.

Hillary was right to say that if indeed one of her employees said what McCain's people were claiming, she's sorry and doesn't echo their sentiment.

That the appropriate way to handle the situation.

3. thanks...but they NEVER mentioned anything about an aide.

did she mention the big LIES McCain told about her husband in his unhinged diatribe?

it feels GOOD to use the 'U' word on pugs, doesn't it?

nother thing...would any pug apologize for an aide's lies about something? they'd merely misdirect/deflect, perHAPS after acknowledging that the statement was made

you know what I mean

[boolean]

4. Has a repug EVER apologized?

I'm just wondering.

[snowbear]

6. You've got to be kidding boolean...

There's too many to mention..

[Gabi Hayes]

9. the ONLY time they apologize is when they're afraid of getting

their tail feathers mussed up

"Tried to keep my mudflap up"

from Root Boy Slim, fraternity brother of Bush: "In Jail in Jacksonville"

5. Gabi:

I agree with you. Screw 'em. What the Dems should say is that what was said was insufficiently critical and then to go on and REALLY lambaste these hypocritical assholes, who come out initially with a 'moral' (this is all relative, of course) position, and then wind up retrenching and voting with the * Administration.

Such as: "I DID say that, and what's more, my opponent's position is the most ridiculous one he's ever held, except for all the other positions that he has held."

[Gabi Hayes]

8. couldn't agree more....and I listened to the segment

made it VERY bad for Hillary. apparently her aide said something about douchemccain speaking for the administration as he did when he was a POW!

THEN, they accused her of making a hugh mistake by going after one of his real strengths

guess they didn't get the memo from Rove on that: always attack your opponents' strengths, EXACTLY like Bush did in 2000, when he accused McCain of being insane, etc, because of his imprisonment, torture

they also made no mention of whether or not Hillary noted the LIES McCain told about her husband. I doubt she did, but she SHOULD have.

somebody has to take on McCain and his sleazy, lying, disingenuous campaign

[fooj]

7. I don't know how much more of this TWILIGHT ZONE crap I can take.

Geesh...

[Gabi Hayes]

10. they MUST be aware of these facts. why don't they get MAD about

the lies McCain tells?

I just don't get it
