While Nancy Pelosi and company are out parroting the line "no blank checks", Tammy Bruce is noticing the hypocrisy of the "queen":
While she voted in support of Bill Clinton’s adventure in bombing the bejesus out of the former Yugoslavia (to save Muslims, mind you) she voted against the war in Iraq in 2002. Here’s a small sample of her positions:
- Voted NO on approving removal of Saddam & valiant service of US troops. (Mar 2004)
- Voted NO on authorizing military force in Iraq. (Oct 2002)
- Condemns anti-Muslim bigotry in name of anti-terrorism. (Oct 2001)
- Wage war on Terrorism, not on fellow Americans. (Sep 2001)
- Voted NO on disallowing the invasion of Kosovo. (May 1999)
Clearly, this is not a woman who votes based on what’s right. She votes based on what Republicans do not want. Taking that cynical stance means Pelosi is a person who does not vote based on what’s right for this country, but instead on what her party wants, which translates to what’s best for her own power. Contrast that with Joe Lieberman’s principled stands. But don’t you dare forget–she’s just a kindly Granny who wants to do what’s best for kids.
Tammy’s example of Lieberman is an excellent comparison. Like Bush, Joe took great political risk in doing the right thing by supporting this country while we are at war with radical Islam. The lefties took it out on Lieberman big time but he prevailed and won his seat back. The majority of the Democrats display their hypocrisy daily, when Clinton started a fight then everything was a-ok. Bush does it, against an actual threat to our country (ie…Afghanistan & Iraq rather then Kosovo), he is vilified by the hypocrites.
Meanwhile the MSM treats the hypocrites with silk gloves: (via Media Blog)
We can see the bias daily from our MSM via the difference in reporting of Democrats and Republicans. They are the first to put REPUBLICAN in big bold letters when a Republican is accused of wrongdoing but when reporting on a Democrat caught with his/her pants down you have to read 2/3rds the way through the article before you see Democrat printed. It’s institutional. The majority of reporters are liberal and their bias seeps through into their reporting. The fact that the MSM is treating Pelosi with kid gloves should surprise no one.
It’s carebear Pelosi when it comes from our MSM: (via The People’s Cube)
