Unfortunately we can no longer lay claim to that title.The Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576296553161560545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967014647775282562.post-56798387542454409762009-10-07T20:18:13.712-07:002009-10-07T20:18:13.712-07:00You might want to do a little research before you ...You might want to do a little research before you start spouting the DNCC talking points:<br />http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZDY0ZTM0Mzk4YmM1YjY3OWExYWRmMjYyNzcyZGY5ZGU=Presidionedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15179501665185999672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967014647775282562.post-60296404736723706782009-10-07T14:49:51.830-07:002009-10-07T14:49:51.830-07:00No one put Cleland's picture alongside Bin Lad...No one put Cleland's picture alongside Bin Laden & Hussein. He's perpetuating an urban legend that the Dem minions are happy to pass along. No one questioned his patriotism & Saxby Chambliss went out of his way during their last debate to praise his service while questioning his decision making abilities (there's something wrong with listing votes on homeland security? Should we keep Dem votes quiet until after each election?)<br /><br />The ad is all over the internet. Check youtube. Once most liberals, ahem anti-righties, see it, their argument switches from 'they had him on screen with...' or "they morphed..." to something else (never saying, "wow, what I was told was wrong"), but....it is what it is. <br /><br />As he went along his campaign waiving that victim flag "look at how mean they're being to the cripple", Georgians were reminded of the kind of party hack that Max Cleland really was/is.<br /><br />Which is why he was basically fired by the voters and would be fired again were the vote to be held today. That citizen Cleland is a bitter person is fine, as long as he's comfortable realizing that he'll always and forever more continue to be citizen Cleland and will never again be Senator Cleland (unless he moves to Berkeley).RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335533636001954843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967014647775282562.post-8247917301716954092009-10-07T12:44:42.975-07:002009-10-07T12:44:42.975-07:00You may argue with McCain's politics, but you ...You may argue with McCain's politics, but you can't deny his courage and would likely admire most of his principles. You might also put Chuck Hagel in the same class. The anti-Cleland ad run by the ultimately victorious Saxby Chambliss was immediately condemned by Republican Senators John McCain of Arizona (who said of the ad, "[I]t's worse than disgraceful, it's reprehensible") and Chuck Hagel of Nebraska (who threatened to run an ad denouncing Republican officials if they didn't pull it off the air).The Collectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576296553161560545noreply@blogger.com
