Sen. Sam Brownback, Cspan 2, caller asked him a question earlier
on cspan 1 that he in all honestly could not answer without nothing more than repub talking points which of course as always failed to address the problem of hypocrisy she laid into him about.

I tried in vain to get through to ask him a question myself but having failed that I was glad to see a woman got through who had the same question I did, he is running for his president ticket by pushing for stem cell research to become illegal...I listened to his speech as to why, typical reasoning about these cells being human and how he believes it to be a moral issue, going on about how he cares so much for life all life so preaches..

Yet when this poor woman, obviously distraught and angry at how the republicans continue to use this issue as nothing more than a wedge issue asked how he could possibly care so much for life and yet have no problem standing behind his war leader..

His response was the usual, bad bad saddam, and how we must be over there to save lifes that saddam was killing, as always when attempting to keep to a certain script about standing up for this illegal war he as others do always failed to mention that everyday we stay there more innocent lives are lost and some by our very own guns, she also blasted him for his hypocrisy by pointing out this country gave saddam his weapons that were used to harm his own people as well as others..

Point is this wedge isssue that pretends to care about "all" human life should be shouted down as this woman did by all those in the dem party with the same hypocritical points that she herself addressed, he was unable to answer to her charges of lying about caring about all life and it is obvious that none of them would be able to defend themselves well enough in public forum considering their so called convictions that war is necessary...

It sickens me that the media talking heads also refuse to state the obvious when having such quests on their shows...it is simply far too easy to call them on not only thier lies but the hypocrisy of their stances these days, why do we only see the being called out on cspan which obviously most americans sadly do not watch?

I am just so sick of anyone playing the moral religious card these days, it has been way too tainted by the republicans to be taken seriously any longer and that saddens me as well...

He made no mention of Sudan, no surprise, none whatsoever.

2. She was something wasnt she...
She even said "you people drive me crazy with your hypocrisys" obviously that statement is not always racist when used in different situations, interesting, I just now realized that.
