Unfortunately the D's and I's who think the opponent tells the truth won't bother to check the facts.

Seals is just another typical douchebag, and he isn't going to win. Seals isn't offering anything new, and Kirk is the evil we know.<BR/><BR/>What I'm asking is for people to use their intellect and make a conclusion from facts. Here is a very important sets of facts that was viewable to the entire plant two weeks before the US attacked Iraq:<BR/><BR/>http://www.iaea.org/NewsCenter/Statements/2003/ebsp2003n006.shtml<BR/><BR/>I'll save you some time--just read the bullet points at the end under "Conclusion."<BR/><BR/>Calling our war-mongering politicians "intelligence victims" is a cop-out. They let Bush tell them what they wanted to hear in order to justify doing what certain special interests wanted them to do. I'm sure some of them really believed it was the right thing to do, but refer to my previous post about free countries that don't conduct invasions. Believing that you're right doesn't actually make you right.<BR/><BR/>TA: That comment from 2002 is the first thing that jumped into my mind. If I took the time, I'm sure I could discover more current material, but Iraq has proven to be such a dissasterous thing to lie or be wrong about.<BR/><BR/>Is Kirk really what self-described "conservatives" want--someone who will help dump billions of tax dollars into foreign military actions and expand the federal government in parallel? How is that conservative? How is that even "moderate?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-3828997999783160232008-09-16T11:43:00.000-05:002008-09-16T11:43:00.000-05:00Anon 10:37 it's damn hard to defend Seals.

TA is right when he says that Mr. Kirk, like most in the intelligence community at that time, relied on just that: the intelligence reports. What Seals does in his disgraceful behavior is lie about Mark Kirk's record, KNOWING that he's not being honest, he lies when he talks about his own resume, he lies about who he takes money from in this campaign and his last attempt. He's also free and loose with those who advise him. To compare Mark Kirk to Dan Seals. Cut it out. Get reality based.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-62428807419683463642008-09-16T10:44:00.000-05:002008-09-16T10:44:00.000-05:00Anon 10:37 - it's good that you have to go all the...Anon 10:37 - it's good that you have to go all the way back to 2002 before you can find a Kirk statement that you raise an issue about as to whether Kirk "lied", as opposed to all of Seals' contemporanous lies, exaggertations and half-truths.<BR/><BR/>But, to answer your point, many, many people, including the intelligence services of several other countries, all believed that Iraq did have WMD at the time. And before you tell us that Kirk and others should not have been duped, recall that Suddam Hussein NEVER ONCE refuted his claim that he DID have WMD, even when the tanks were on the way. So, at most, Kirk was the victim of bad intelligence, along with just about everyone else, including prominent Dems that supported the war, such as Clinton and Kerry.Team Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15035504738668036802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-71617643651004670202008-09-16T10:37:00.000-05:002008-09-16T10:37:00.000-05:00"The one thing 10th District voters hate more than..."The one thing 10th District voters hate more than being told how to vote by people in Washington is being lied to..."<BR/><BR/><BR/>So does this statement qualify as a lie:<BR/><BR/>"I know for cerain that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction." -Mark Kirk ~2002<BR/><BR/>If he was really certain, and not just lying, does that not suggest bad judgement since other people got it right?<BR/><BR/>And before some idiot responds that it's Kirk's job to protect us, realize that there are numerous free, democratic countries on this planet that are at least as wealthy as the USA yet don't go around invading other countries and killing people. That behavior is not a prerequisite for freedom.<BR/><BR/>I'm not voting for Seals either, so defend Kirk rather than attacking Seals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-20590736837065682232008-09-16T08:24:00.000-05:002008-09-16T08:24:00.000-05:00You are spot on, TA, in knowing that folks in the ...You are spot on, TA, in knowing that folks in the 10th District have no use for lies. The new Kirk video which debunks the DCCC attack is outstanding. A friend of mine in Las Vegas told me that she saw a similar attack piece out there against a moderate Republican. I guess the DCCC made a one-size fits all attack smear piece and sent it nation-wide.<BR/><BR/>The Fact Check section on the Kirk for Congress website is well done, answers the inane and untruthful smears on Mark Kirk's record. I seem to recall that the other blog and it's creator likes to talk about facts being stubborn things. You think! It's always her way or the highway. With the rapid response team in place within the Kirk organization, voters out here no longer have to guess who's right.<BR/><BR/>We can't let down now, TA. GOTV is critical, making sure that we have everyone out and about helping us win on November 4 is the order of each day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
