I wonder whoever could have insinuated this to the uneducated masses?

As for Bin laden he was a useful boogeyman/tool or he would have been whacked at Tora Bora. (IMO)
Rick, I've been reading you posts (I read most everyone's) and I can't pin your point of view down. Don't take offense, because that is a good thing - it means you aren't a parrot for the party line. Just observing. I'm sure we'll get into a good row one of these days.

Regards,

D-Ray

I'm independent.
My view is strictly that.
My participation here is merely an educational experience for myself. I get both points of view 9left and right)and the occasional history lesson from Rob.

I do feel sorry for her, as she apparently speaks from the heart. The poor woman has unfortunately evolved from a tool of the left to an embarrassment for the left.

That was my point.

Isn't it incredible, the party of compassion tosses her in jail like a used up rag, there's no outrage. It amazes me that she would say Bush never treated me this way. The party of compassion should think long and hard about this and what it clearly shows.

Maybe. To Chas' point, it may just be that her 15 minutes of fame is used up. The media pays attention to people like her when they provide useful vignettes to support the story they're trying to tell. Now the story du jour is health care and the vignettes that go with it. That's infotainment.

It's simple.

This is no longer about her son, this is about her.

Mere jail is too good.

So it was about her son during Bush's terms, now it isn't?

Reminds me of Gore vs Bush's eco-friendly houses. Obama mouths platitudes and does what he wants.

No.

I never thought so.

I see, I see, said the blind man to his deaf wife.

But the left sure used her as a hammer. Until now.

Personally, I think she's sincere, otherwise she would have hung up her guns long ago.

I also think she is having problems coming to terms with what has happened to her. Some people can never let go.
