- grlykool, on 07/01/2008, -7/+77Hagel and Webb fought the adminstration (and McCain) tooth and nail for this bill.
- wonderlandpr, on 07/01/2008, -6/+65What ELSE will George Bush lie about, with the OK, wink, nod of John McCain?
NOW Bush lied when he stated that he, Bush and McCain supported the GI bill. They did NOT.
Bush was against is and only signed it because he had to.
McCain was totally against it, yet Bush credited McCain as a supporter.
IF you love the truth in this Country, make sure that this LIE, a direct LIE of the President with John McCain's OK, gets out there.
Webb should speak out on this. Maybe he will when he runs with Obama as Veep. I vote for that team today and any day. - nicknas, on 07/01/2008, -11/+68WOW and to think people want to elect Mini me who got even LOWER Grades in school than this Dolt!!
I wouldn't Hire either of them to run a 7-11 Much less a Country. They are embarrassing. - BarbArt, on 07/01/2008, -8/+55This really pissed me off tonight because I know the history of this bill, and McCain has opposed it from the start. I was yelling at Bush on the TV and my husband told me, "Republicans lie. Write it down; remember it; put it in your wallet. Republicans lie."
- richdoll, on 07/01/2008, -5/+48 obama & mccain got into a fight on the senate floor about this bill mccain refused to support the with excuses. obama should have gotten credit
- inactive, on 07/01/2008, -3/+24Of course Joe ***** Iowa wont know the difference and vote McCain into office regardless. Dont underestimate the power of stupid sheep en masse.
- onyxcoltrane, on 07/01/2008, -5/+24Olbermann covered this also: http://digg.com/politics/Olbermann_Jim_Webb_the_GI ...
- inactive, on 07/01/2008, -4/+22Hey *****,
Give me a link to that statement. Because Jim Webb went on the Daily Show and said he was amazed that McCain was against it. Since these benefits are the same McCain had when he was in the military.
So until you give me a link to that quote I am calling ***** on your statement. - briankoenig03, on 07/01/2008, -2/+16I don't like Obama's picture being the thumbnail for this story....Bush lying about McCain helping the bill doesn't directly relate to Obama.
(I am pro-Obama, but saturating the page with his image when he isn't directly related doesn't help anyone) - Yage2006, on 07/01/2008, -3/+17I see they are still big on the "Lie because people who hate the liberals will believe you" technique.
- budgetguitar, on 07/01/2008, -1/+15This was no mistake. McCain even took credit for defeating a different one of HIS OWN bills.
They really think you are that dumb. And if you aren't, you know somebody who is. - banmaster, on 07/01/2008, -3/+16Republicans lie the most though.
- swrostmore, on 07/01/2008, -1/+13wait, what?
- wendelgee2, on 07/01/2008, -1/+11*****.
“McCain needs to get on the bill,” Webb told reporters after a Christian Science Monitor breakfast meeting on Wednesday. He said legislation mirroring the post-World War II GI bill should not be considered a “political issue.” […]
Webb’s bill has 51 co-sponsors, including nine Republicans. Webb, a former secretary of the Navy, said he may have to get 60 co-sponsors to ensure Senate passage, but then added that many more Republicans could vote for the bill if McCain endorsed it.
From another article:
McCain:
The Constitution of the United States gives no authority for the Congress of the United States to set lengths of tour or lengths of duty in the military and I hope we will steadfastly reject this kind of micromanagement, which would create chaos.
This morning on CNN, Webb rebutted McCain’s assertion that the Senate has no role in troop deployments:
Well, first of all, Sen. McCain, who I’ve known for 30 years, needs to read the Constitution. There is a provision in Article I, Section 8, which clearly gives the Congress the authority to make rules with respect to the ground and naval forces. There’s precedent for this. - medfreak, on 07/01/2008, -1/+11McCain did work hard on the GI bill...he worked hard on stopping it.
- medfreak, on 07/01/2008, -1/+10McCain did work hard on the GI bill...... he worked hard on killing it.
- Rotzooi, on 07/01/2008, -11/+20Buried for being a Bush supporter.
A despicable subhuman. That's what all Conversatives are to me now. Not worth the space you occupy. - twiztidsinz, on 07/01/2008, -3/+13Buried. F-ing self censor.
- zrcochran, on 07/01/2008, -1/+10Here's the clip from the Daily Show:
http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?vide ...
Skip to 3:25 for the part about McCain - Rotzooi, on 07/01/2008, -3/+12Rewriting history, people. What he said will go into the records, not that it's untrue.
- Cuchanu, on 07/01/2008, -5/+13Working hard and hardly working are the same thing to Bush
- growler1, on 07/01/2008, -2/+101. Nationally, gas prices averaged 2.33 in Jan. of 06.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/01/22/gas.prices/index. ...
2. Please explain what sort of neocon logic leads you to link Harry Reid with the causative factors of the current high price of gas. - pintomp3, on 07/01/2008, -2/+9why do you hate our troops?
- MelvinSchlubman, on 07/01/2008, -1/+8Bush's latest approval rating was 29% (so I heard yesterday). If 71% of diggers disapprove of Bush then all the down-digging of conservative opinion here would be no surprise. It's more that you have to go out of your way to get into a context that not a partisan forum against Bush.
- kreneskyp, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7He fought it tooth and nail in order to prevent it from passing.
So whether or not he was for giving troops better benefits, he cannot in any way claim that he helped pass this bill. - TheSwashbuckler, on 07/01/2008, -0/+7Wrongly?!
How 'bout Bush lied again... - inactive, on 07/01/2008, -4/+10 And this surprises who?
- SpinningHead, on 07/01/2008, -1/+6Learn English. The adjective form of Democrat is democratic.
- Calcularius, on 07/01/2008, -0/+5Would be much easier to list what he HASN'T lied about.
I don't even believe that his name is George. - banmaster, on 07/01/2008, -2/+7That would work pretty well actually, and it'd be difficult to imagine anyone doing as bad a job running the country as they have done for the past 7 years.
- MelvinSchlubman, on 07/01/2008, -0/+5"He who controls the past, controls the future."
- Macrophage, on 07/01/2008, -12/+17GOP = DRAFT...by now that really should be clear.
Guess what..they draft GOP KIDS, and Dems, and Greens, And Indies, and everyone who does'nt have rich connections....So whats's it going to be folks?
Want to be the first one on yer Block...............................
PEACE
John - MadEnvoy, on 07/01/2008, -1/+5Politicians lie. - Corrected.
- artofficial, on 07/01/2008, -1/+5rinse...repeat.
- pintomp3, on 07/01/2008, -0/+4mccain worked hard.. to oppose the bill.
- pintomp3, on 07/01/2008, -1/+5the bill had 58 co-sponsors, mccain wasn't one of them:
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-s22/show
he skipped the vote. - CyphreDias, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3Pretending to be a simpleton and a hay-seed in order to get the upper hand in a scam is a classic power maneuver. The Bush family are blue-bloods from the east coast. Bush Jr's southern accent is not real. He has been trained from birth in the art of deception. Bush takes the heat while his elite friends and family benefit. Bush offers himself as the scape-goat. Don't be stupid people. It's all staged. Wake-up. The Dems and Reps are all the same party and the Huffington post is a propaganda machine no different than faux news or any other mainstream media source.
Ron Paul would have been a good choice, although I disagree with "free trade". I see "free-trade" as slave trade, because it creates a dynamic that encourages robber-baron business practices that result in slave-wages. To compete, all other countries will need to also lower wages. Before long, we have neo-feudalism. Protectionism is good. Being vulnerable is bad. Self-sufficiency is good. Dependence is bad. Seems like common sense, but the Orwellian press has everyone's head all turned-around. - SonnyW, on 07/01/2008, -0/+3It isn't our job to sort through their lies; it's our punishment for electing them.
- BesideYouInTime, on 07/01/2008, -2/+5Wasn't Bush going to veto this if it didn't get the required majority?
- inactive, on 07/01/2008, -2/+5How exactly does one wipe one's ass with an internet site?
- PhilLesh69, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Wow, did you learn comedy alongside Borat?
I think I'm funny.... not. hehehahaah.
Geez. the whole "not" comedy shtick is lame.
If only you understood the truth. It has nothing to do with the democrats being wrong and the republicans being right.
BOTH parties are just two branches of a control mechanism, designed to occupy the voting masses while those who own this country do whatever they want. That is the truth. Once you realize it, that truth will really set you free. - norbiu, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2McCunt?
- phrenzy, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2If the last 8 years hasn't proven the worthlessness of the 'Neo-Christo-Conservative' platform in general, I don't know what will... All out nuclear holocaust?
- PhilLesh69, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Or as the Neocons say, "We're an empire now. While you are trying to figure out reality, we're creating new realities."
- jacothedevil, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2and this is surprising why?
- DieselGrunge, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2Do you have a printer?
