it is from this headline: How Bodenweiser story is playing in the UK paper, DAILY MAIL
Here is the rescued comment…. to set the scene, the previous commenter had just mentioned the silliness of a 1987 divorce playing into determining who would be our next President….. (and now the comment.)
“I agree it is inconsequential, the Staples thing… But it brings up a fabulous point… And we all like fabulous points here.. lol…
Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. But, if Romney also lied under oath…. what does a Republican do?
Does he admit publicly that his party was very wrong in the 1990’s? That his party was only playing politics? That his party only made it important because they thought it might embarrass the President and use that to get a Republican in the next term? Does a Republican admit that lying under oath about a personal matter, is really no big deal at all, they they, as a party were telling terrible lies as to how they felt?
Or do they stick to that story, and abandon Romney on principal? He lied under oath, and therefore, even though he is of “my party”,.. he is “unfit” to be president.
I mean one can’t morally have Donald Trump impute that Obama is lying about something that happened in college, and is therefore unfit to be a president, when you have documents paraded in front of all America, showing Romney to have actually lied, not just lied to the American people, but lied under oath….
My question for Earl Gray, Mike of Delaware, Mr. Pizza, and those who support high moral principals: what is a Romney supporter supposed to do when his morals are put into the spotlight and he has to answer which was right? To have impeached Bill Clinton and now fire Romney? Or continue ones support for Romney and have the National Party officially “apologize” publicly to William Jefferson Clinton? It truly is quite a dilemma for the Republican Party.”

Why is it at Republicans have all these lies and rumors of lies always floating around within their party, but you have this other party out there, with a squeaky clean leader, accomplished, respected and revered around the world?
How does that happen?

kavips, Who is this messianic “squeaky clean” leader and to what political party does he belong? I know of no such leader nor any such political party.
Romney is not perfect but to apply some of your “bumpersticker logic” to Obama:
“Obama lied, our amassador in Beghazi (and three others) died”
If re-elected I predict this president will be impeached for Benghazi, or Operation Gunrunner or some other yet to be discovered violation of his office. Nixon was impeached for much much less.

Oh if you don’t know who this squeaky clean leader is, here, I’ll pull up this reminder….
We agree. Romney is far from perfect. He is a panderer who makes Chamberlain look like Churchill in comparison…… However, it appears you are not thinking clearly. There was a time eleven years ago, when someone, did something far more worse than anything that took place in Libya. In fact, I would venture since anyone is making such a big deal over Benghazi and totally ignoring the incompentence of George W. Bush before 9/11, which caused far worse loss of life, that you really don’t care at all about Benghazi, but are just play acting your outrage, to try to get the “Panderer” elected…. Truth is:
NO REPUBLICAN CAN STAND THERE AND SAY OBAMA SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR BENGHAZI, ….. BUT GEORGE W. BUSH SHOULD NOT FOR 9/11….
If you remember, George Bush was filmed holding a dossier from the CIA stating: Obama Determined To Attack US... All it would have taken, was to put a high alert out, and none of the box cutters would have made it onto an airplane.
DONT EVEN DARE BLAME OBAMA AND ABSOLVE GEORGE W. BUSH WHO’S INEPTITUDE WAS SOLELY AND DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING WHO DIED FROM THE TERRORIST ATTACK ON 9/11!!!!!!!!!…

(someone said that you being new here, I should add this) .. btw, I never get mad. If it looks mad, it is really the signs of an overabundant sense of humor… If someone says something silly, I like to point it out… And sometimes when I do, mock outrage is one of the tools used. 🙂

Blame away at Bush, but you will also have to add Bill Clinton to your wishlist of people responsible for 9-11-2001.
9-11-2012 is Obama’s responsibility. CIA director Petreaus has said the call to refuse help in Benghazi was above his level and pointed to the WH.

Do you know why we blame Bush, because he is guilty. Do you know why Obama does not get blamed by anyone but nuts, because he is innocent. There is a huge difference. And Bill Clinton had even less to do with 9/11 than George Washington.. Don’t even know why someone would bring him up, UNLESS THEY DEFINITELY KNEW GEORGE W. BUSH WAS GUILTY and did so only to deflect the blame… ………
So you know George Bush was guilty. And now you know we know….
Republicans are bumblers and cannot do one thing right… even pin Benghazi on Obama….
The point is: just like 9/11, the compound in Benghazi was ambushed. Just like 9/11 we had real time warnings. Just like 9/11, they got us before we got them….
Anyone who thinks Obama should be impeached, but not George Bush, has a screw loose… This is what happens when stupid people try to analyze policy that is over their heads….
Perhaps if you’d stop listening to one sided broadcasts who’s sole purpose is to create trouble, and would instead listen to a neutral broadcast like that of Allan Loudell at Delaware’s WDEL, you might get facts correct, and understand that if you receive only bad information, then you will process bad information.
The points are these. George Bush got more warning than Obama. George Bush read a kids book. Obama said we’re going to get those guys. George Bush flew around on Air Force One. Obama was on the phone giving orders…… More people died because of George Bush… than died in Benghazi.
The only reason any nut-case is even blaming Benghazi on the President of the United States of America, is because Republicans are a hell of a lot dumber than were the Democrats around on 9/11….. They could have very well blamed Bush, and held hearings. But, being the good people they were, they rallied around their president.
Republicans simply have no morals and this goes back to the argument that Democrats, of the two, are ABSOLUTELY the more Christian of the two American Parties. Republicans, are the party of hypocrites….
Who else would try to use a dead American to make a political point?
It is absolutely disgusting. It is an approach to human dignity…. Republicans simply do not deserve to be in our government…
