McConnell: Northup, Fletcher are “casualties of the Iraq War”

McConnell's done it again.
In an appearance at Elizabethtown this weekend, Mitch McConnell showed how deeply out of touch he is with the sacrifice our armed forces have given in Bush's folly of the Iraq War. Who are the real victims and "casualties" of the Iraq War? His poor little Republican friends who lost their office.
Describing the party’s 2006 loss of Congressional District Rep. Anne Northup and last year’s loss of Republican Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher as casualties of the Iraq war, McConnell said he’s optimistic Republicans will hold the 2nd congressional district seat left up for grabs with the announcement of Rep. Ron Lewis’, R-Cecilia, retirement.
Yes, poor Anne Northup, one of Bush's biggest enablers in the House, is a casualty of the Iraq War.
This is the same Mitch McConnell who had this to say about other "casualties" of the Iraq War last year:
"Nobody is happy about losing lives but remember these are not draftees, these are full-time professional soldiers."
Gee, if only we had a decorated veteran of the Iraq War to stand up to Mitch and call him out on this in the Senate race this year.
Oh, yea, we do. Just don't tell $teve Be$hear and Chuck $chumer.

“poor Anne Northup” just look see what her record was like and wonder why, “casualty of the Iraq War” I think not
1.Big drug interests have given $84,186 to Northup over the Representative’s career.
2.$42,000 from Tom DeLay’s ARMPAC
hell the list to long go read it. “if you can!!”

Um…Ernie Fletcher didn’t loser reelection b/c of the Iraq War. In fact, to my knowledge, state governors have very little to do with military policy. He lost b/c he was a corrupt, incompetent, xenophobic idiot.
These kind of statements by McConnell clearly demonstrate exactly why voters are ready to replace him. McConnell is completely out of touch with Kentuckians and only thinks of events in terms of how they will affect him politically.
The war, poverty, healthcare, you name the issue and Mitch McConnell looks at it through a political lens. It’s sad, and Kentuckians are paying the price. But, only for a few more months.
