Condi has been a known liar since 9-11. Why was she confirmed in 2005?

[blm]

How the hell did that happen? It has always been apparent that she lies any time she's confronted or put on the spot. After 9-11, she lied with impunity and constantly.

The media let her get away with it, just as they let Bush get away with it - But why did any Democrats who KNEW Condi lied to the 9-11 commission and KNEW she continued to lie about Iraq, stick with their support for her and Bush and even vote to confirm her in 2005?

1. Morning...I have the answer...

Cuz Condi is just a teenie eenie weenie bit ahead of the competition...



and cuz nobody around the WH ever gets tagged withe responsibility.
In fact they turn their crimes into inspirational poster.



btw, check out blm, famous user ... http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0607/S00045.htm

Poster blm immediately questions the motives for Clinton’s description of who won 2000 and 2004 tying this stance to a larger group of centrist Democrats seeking to move the party toward consistent “moderation:”

Many of them have spent the last 2 years completely ignoring how well Kerry did and reinforcing their own SPIN that the party needs to be more centrist, Kerry was too liberal and scared the American people and didn't connect with them bull shit.

Those who want to benefit from that scenario PROMOTE the lie and have no interest in machine fraud and will not acknowledge it. Was Clinton just throwing out vague support to assuage the believers in the audience while being completely aware that a full endorsement actually helps change the storyline to one they DO NOT WANT - that Kerry won by a remarkable number. A VERY ELECTABLE Democrat.

2. Hillary Clinton voted for Condi.

Why? I don't know. Any guesses?

[PADemD]

3. It was either Condi or John Bolton?

[blm]

4. For Sec of State? I don't think so, Colin would've fought that publically

But the grteater point is that Hillary KNEW Condi lied all along and stayed mostly quiet about it, her husband stayed quiet about it, and Hillary voted to confirm her in 2005.

Strange.

8. "Strange" but true...actually par for the course....don't you see..

They have special rules in Washington for the 'leet. Capitol Hill is free of many regulations that American businesses live with. The Senators and Representatives have a lovely retirement with full medical benefits. Oh, and they get the inside line on all sorts of things so they can be really smart investors in our nation's future. It is a mutually reinforcing pile of paper. They're different. They get sworn in before the elections are over, from time to time, they get to take legal bribes from large contributors, and they are flown all over the world by people whom they regulate.

Why did all those senators vote for Condi. How are is that when you've voted for the bankruptsy bill and ruined many people in your district? ...that bill passed because of the support of extremists who conflicted it with some wacko agenda item.

Condi, Hillary, all of them...they're special.

Here's another thing that THEY ALL KNEW...Iraq did not have WMD and they know that, ALL OF THEM before they voted the authorization for * to do what he did.

When they come along and say, "We never thought he'd do that!!! Wow" or something like that, we need to remember that they KNEW there were no WMD before they voted.

Amazing.

13. I believe that Dubya considered that her greatest asset. n/t

[blm]

15. Yep - loyal servants to lie for him.

That's his idea of a cabinet.

[flordehinojos]

5. republicans march in lockstep and she told them, she told the whole of

congress,
"don't impugne my integrity."

what possible integrity does the woman have? she may have cojones, but integrity?
she has absolutely none!

[blm]

6. That was the exact place for her integrity to BE questioned.

And it was - and she lied - and some Dems still voted for her?

[flordehinojos]

10. unbelievable, isn't it?

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. Why were any of them confirmed?

Because when it was apparent that the Repugs had stolen another election in 2004, the DEMS stepped back and bought stock in a large supply of shovels. Why not confirm George's obvious appointments? How better to expose the conspirator traitors, then to let them have the run of the place for a couple of years, in order to build your case? Now we have evidence out the yin yang of their crimes against humanity and everything else on this planet.

9. Affirmative Action?

When Powell left, there woudn't have been any black faces at all in the Bush cabinet.
But Condi's elevation to Sec of State was a classic example of the Peter Principle--being promoted to her highest level of incompetence. She was a real fuckup at NSA and they probably figured she couldn't do much more harm at State seeing as how, Bush had already antagonized all our major allies. Thats why we went to war with Tonga and Belarus as our allies, instead of Germany, France, Russia, etc

11. Becuz She's "Scary Smart"

Katie Couric says so!

12. I'm glad I didn't see it. Would've ruined my coffee.

And I like my coffee. ;)

14. Here's another question that might help answer the first

Why was Senator Boxer the only one willing to call Dr. Rice a liar to her face?

[blm]

16. If Hillary had done it then her criticism of Condi would MATTER in a more

important context than it does today. This overall debate of accounatbility needed to be had when it first popped up in the early months after 9-11.
