Congressman Cole Corrects Inaccurate Potrayal of Comments

Washington DC- "The Yukon Review mischaracterized my remarks in the opening lead of their story published yesterday. However, they did accurately quote parts of my speech during the Canadian County Republican Convention held last Saturday."

"I do believe that if President Bush is not re-elected, the United States' enemies around the world will take comfort and strength in the fact that such a strong war time leader would be out of office. I never said and do not believe that a vote against President Bush is equivalent to a vote for Adolf Hitler. The patriotism of candidates and voters who oppose the President is not in question," Congressman Cole said.

During the Canadian County Convention, Congressman Cole did say the following:

"I promise you this, if George Bush loses the election, Osama bin Laden wins the election, it's that simple. It will be interpreted that way by enemies of the United States around the world."

"What do you think Hitler would have thought if Roosevelt would've lost the election in 1944? He would have thought American resolve was ."

"What would the confederacy have thought if Lincoln would have lost the election of 186<4>?"

"I stand by these statements and do believe that this November is again another important time in history, just like Lincoln's victory in 1864 and Roosevelt's victory in 1944. President Bush has proved that he will stand up to our enemies and I believe that is his most important job as Commander in Chief," Congressman Cole said.

[Doomsayer13]

2. playing that card again

fucking republicans have no shame. So if Bush loses, this country is less safe? What a farce.

[Hav]

3. .

And in addition to that, America's enemies like Bin Laden cheer when Democrats win. That is politics at it's lowest point.

[chocolateeater]

4. Yep.

From there you have to look up to see the ground.

[Sparkle]

5. This guys has egg on his face and he knows it.

Too fvcking late to backtrack.

[Maddy McCall]

6. Yes, and his backtracking was just as bad as his initial statement

[Zomby Woof]

7. the world will CHEER

And without Bush in office, we won't be pissing off allies AND enemies as much. It's a win-win to get him out. But Cole is a dumbfuck fascist piece of shit, so what did we expect? :D

[sandnsea]

8. Vote for Nader

Kerry, Cole, they're all the same.

[Deja Q]

9. Uh, Mr. Cole, our enemies don't give a f*ck about us one way or another.

Our enemies just want us dead.

Or haven't you noticed?

Bushit* has done NOTHING of consequence to fight the terrorists.

Only restrict the innocents' freedoms.

and make them feel afraid.

And get them to boost Home Depot stock by buying loads of duct tape and plastic wrap and seal themselves in their homes... :eyes:

And set up little sesame street color charts which are as useful as a $4 bill. (in other words, it's a freakin' FRAUD.)

And cause more carnage that will lead to the rise of more, real, terrorists against us.

Mr. Cole, you are a dummy of mammoth proporation as much as Bush* a total nincompoop.

Maybe he'll figure that out one day. But I doubt it.

[BootinUp]

10. I would think Bin Laden

Thinks Bush is doing terrific, I'm sure the recruiting is going great.
