Republican U.S. Sens. Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning laid out their case for Republicans keeping control of the White House in the 2008 election during Northern Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District Lincoln Day Dinner Saturday night.
McConnell, who is also up for re-election in November, defended the Bush administration’s decision “to go on offense” by invading Iraq. And he said presumptive GOP presidential nominee, U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona, has the right perspective on what must be done in the Middle East, as opposed to the two Democratic candidates who favor removing U.S. troops as soon as possible.
“We’d be kidding ourselves,” McConnell said. “This is a different kind of war. The enemy is not a country, it’s a movement … There’s nobody to negotiate with.”
Bunning used an even harsher description.
“The people we’re fighting against now are worse than Adolf Hitler and Nazis. And we don’t know where they live, half of them,” Bunning said.
Well Senator McConnell and Limp Dick Bunning, it’s not the terrorist kicking folks out of their homes, outsourcing their job, making education unaffordable and etc etc etc. It’s you and your right wing neocon policies.

U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, a Hebron Republican, compared Obama and his message for change similar to a “snake oil salesman.”
He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated in a “highly classified, national security simulation” with Obama.
“I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button,” Davis said. “He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country.”
Geoff Davis, I’m here to tell you that calling a grown black man “boy” will get you a real good ass whippin’ where I come from. Mr. Davis sir, I hope you call Barack Obama “boy” to his face, because I’m looking forward to seeing you with a black eye and a fat lip.

I simply do NOT understand WHY anyone with an IQ over 35 would vote for McConnell. McConnell has supported Bush’s unnecessary war of choice without reservation. McConnell has been happy to assist Bush add $3.4 TRILLION to the national debt. McConnell could not even make it through boot camp, but this cretin talks about “supporting the troops”. Well, supporting the troops means NOT sending them into an unnecessary war of choice. Wake UP, Kentucky, Flush this turkey McConnell.
Bunning used an even harsher description.
“The people we’re fighting against now are worse than Adolf Hitler and Nazis. And we don’t know where they live, half of them.”
Here is a clue for you Bunning.
The people we are fighting in Iraq are not now, and never were, the people who attacked us on 9/11. We left them behind in Afghanistan, and went off to start a war based on a pack of lies.
Everybody has caught on, except you and a few other clueless individuals, that the GOP liars keep on connecting 9/11 and iraq, while Osama Bin Laden keeps laughing at ypu fools in Washington.
Memo to Mitch McConnell:
Go on the offense? Against the perpetrators of September 11, 2001 attacks (AL-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden)? They were based in Afghanistan, and escaped into the Waziristan region of Pakistan. Look on the map, it is nowhere near Iraq. You invaded the wrong country, wasting resources and lives for 5 long years, there were no Al-Qaeda in Iraq before the invasion!
Pairing “9-11″ and “Saddam” together thousands of times with the clear and successful intention of persuading people that the two are connected is dishonest and fraudulent. Asserting, as Cheney did, that Iraq has nuclear weapons was a lie. Saying, as Rice did, that Iraq might nuke the United States was totally dishonest.
The Yellowcake and Nuclear Bomb Iraq supposedly had? FORGERY! Never happened! Tony Blair’s government admitted the Italian documents were forgeries.
The WMD and Mobile Labs Collin Powell told us about? Total fabrications! Imaginary Boogiemen! Simply can’t find no trace of them!
Aluminum Tubes? Nope! Yet another hoax! Fraud was committed over and over again in the marketing of the Iraq War.
No wonder 80% of the people say they think the US is heading in the wrong direction.
No wonder that 80% mistrust the congress.
Over 60% want the US out of Iraq in the next 12 months, and Mitch and his GOP pals aren’t paying attention. That is why we will pick up 5 Senate Seats this fall.
Anyone want to put any $ on whether or not Davis apologizes for “mis-speaking?” Christ, the things some Republicans get away with make my brain explode!
We have heard what Representative Davis has said. At this point in time any apology by Representative Davis would be more for protocol rather than actual repentence. Representative Davis has said what he believes. I do not believe that this will hurt Senator Obama. A least it doesn’t as far as I am concerned.
The term “boy” is a term that I quit using about twenty years ago to call people. I had called any male people that, regardless of physical appearance and background, and meant no harm by the term. Rather than call some people that, but not other people, I don’t even call my own sons “boy”. In the 2000’s it is a gaffe to call someone “boy”. Representative Davis needs to get more politically correct, and get with the program.
Concerning the Bunning charge that the Iraqi civilians that we are fighting against are worse that Adolf Hitler, and worse than the Nazis: We have bombed them, we have attacked them, we have militarily occupied them, we are attempting to impose our type of government on them. One definition of “imperialism” is attempting to control other people. No the civilians of Iraq are not trying to control the man-in-the-street in America. It is time to bring the U.S. troops home from Iraq, perhaps transferring some of them to Afghanistan where bin Laden is hiding.
Mitch has got to go!! I will do everything I can to make sure that everyone I know is aware of his “poor choice or words”. There is no room for the racist attitudes that obviously run deeply inside this man. So deeply that he is unable to control his tongue in front of a group of people. Besides being a racist, he is not very intelligent and has shown incredibly poor judgement for someone in a leadership position.
