Re: Biden appears at Kissell event, black guy gets press

Tim D’Annunzio has to wonder at this point why his party is pushing this Huckstable guy?

I wonder too.

When Tim has more money, Tim makes more sense, and Tim appeals to neither Under the DOME or DC press even though he has raised more money as a real angry TeaBagger than the marketing tool of superficial packaging created by the NRCC?

Do Republicans need another reason to make a decision? Is it RACE?

Say it aint so Michael Steele!

This post has been up all day and has yet to be corrected. Kissell won his seat in 2008, not 2006, he ran in 2006 and lost. Ben Niolet do you actually read the comments section?

"By the time we were elected we had an inkling of how fundamentally we were out of kilter,"

Horse hockey.......they knew as well as anyone who had the capability to read and understand the printed word that while they were campaigning that things were bad and getting worse. Like all political whores they decided to use the same old "the people" rhetoric that political whores have used in perpetuity to further their phony/baloney existence.

Stupidity on behalf on behalf of elected officials and voters does not constitute an emergency on my part.

LET THE GENERALS FIGHT THE WAR
Why I say - Pull the troops out of Afghanistan, now!
By Tim D’Annunzio for Congress 8th District NC
timvote.com

I have a copy of the McChrystal report, and it clearly lays out the changes needed for victory in Afghanistan. The Obama administration is vacillating on this war, while trying to calculate what impact it will have on their domestic socialization agenda. Secretary Gates refuses to stand against the political pressures and the Republican leadership seems willing to let the current administration flounder at home and abroad.

The truth is that Obama used Afghanistan as a straw-man argument during the election. He wanted to appear strong on national defense and only opposed the “unjustified” war in Iraq.

We have seen how quickly Obama shifted policies on Iraq. After taking office he quickly changed strategy on a defined timetable for withdrawal. Of course nothing had changed on the ground, his shift in position came after he began to deal in reality and not in political posturing.

I would assert that his new Iraq strategy came at a time when his approval ratings were high and he thought his charisma would overcome any negative repercussions he might face in reversing his previously stated position.

Now his Afghan straw-man has come to life and the charisma bank is almost insolvent. He needs his remaining resources of good-will to finish his domestic agenda of destroying the current US system. His priority has always been destroying this country and replacing it with a long desired leftist-socialist-utopia.

If he agrees to more troops in Afghanistan – as is needed – the US will achieve victory, but he will offend his base, which wants the US to lose. If he refuses the troop increase, he won’t offend his base, he keeps the support for his domestic agenda, but he will further stir up the opposition.

The longer we do nothing in Afghanistan, the more dangerous it becomes for the troops. I say Obama’s inability to make the hard decision is reason enough to pull the plug. If he can’t do the right thing and let the generals make war, we should call for an immediate withdrawal.

The politically safe thing for Obama is to leave the troops in place and do nothing. The politically safe thing for the Republican leadership to do is nothing except call for Obama to implement General McChrystal’s plan. Both of these have their priorities wrong because they use our soldiers in the field as political pawns and subordinate them to political agendas.

I say give the Commanders in the field everything they ask for and thereby enabling them to achieve victory. If the Obama Administration refuses, I would call for an immediate withdrawal of all troops; and I don’t care about the politics of it.

My conclusion is that the Obama administration and my Congressional opponent, Larry Kissell are using our troops as political pawns and refuse to make the hard, but right, decision. This is why I say, “Pull the troops out of Afghanistan, now!”

From the Raleigh News & Observer a quote from Kissell when asked for his position.
http://projects.newsobserver.com/under_the_dome/kissell_gets_the_biden_treatment

“"I don't want to be prejudging, or presuming anything," said Kissell, a member of the House Armed Services committee whose district includes part of Fort Bragg.”

This piece also says that Biden and therefore the Obama Administration have decided to help Kissell in his battle against me.

Give the generals what they need to achieve victory. If not, pull the troops out now. This isn’t and shouldn’t be about politics or political battles.

The fact that Obama will be replacing a Eastern NC federal prosecuting attorney who was appointed by Bush. The fact is not lost on me that Mr Holding has put numerous Democrats in jail that the Democrats (Cooper) have not. And current Democrats are under investigation and will be as this Easley corruption scandal unfolds.

Gosh is one who cannot stand not to make a personal atack against a Republican. I may faint if he actually EVER criticizes a Democrat. And yes I can see gosh back at the original tea Party in Boston saying to the British, "I do not know why they are ruining perfectly good tea?".

Obviously Gosh did not read today's letters to the editor. There were fellow Democrats at these events also and apparently gosh has total disdain for his fellow Democrats as well, Oh Gosh!
