It's good to see the fright-wingers back to diarrhea of the mouth.
Huckabee and libido, Paul and Lewinsky, Cruz and talk is cheap.
Cantor can only herd these clowns for so long.
And Christie is far from over, if ever.
Lee and Paul should make asses of themselves tomorrow night .
The tiny group still fretting impotently about it would cut their hands off before they voted for her anyway.
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

Over 30,000 servicemen loved Nixon right into their graves in Vietnam. A war that should have ended. He won the election by leaking that he had a "secret plan" to end the conflict. He lied and 30,000 died.
Yea I can see why you would admire him....not.
Democrats started the war and Nixon, a Republican, ended it.
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

The same can be said for Bush and Obama.
Democrats started the war and Nixon, a Republican, ended it.
Do you believe in administration overlap ?

Iguanamans words: Because I am not an ignorant moron.

Grant after that I doubt if I would respond to any more of his posts.


I don't take offense from leftists, NP. It's who they are and what they do because that's all they have. They're all much the same.

Yes, a Republican, with the support of his government and several other Coalition members, attacked Saddam Hussein in Iraq. And yes, Barrack Obama withdrew US troops and Al Qaeda has taken over.

And yes, A Democrat began the war in Vietnam and a Republican ended it.
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

And yes, you failed to mention who took over in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.
Yes, a Republican, with the support of his government and several other Coalition members, attacked Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
With contrived, faulty intel.
And yes, Barrack Obama withdrew US troops and Al Qaeda has taken over.
But not like North Vietnam did.
And yes, A Democrat began the war in Vietnam and a Republican ended it.
Again, your history revision fails to mention IKE taking over for the French.
I ask you again.
Is there administration overlap, or just you're right and I'm wrong ?
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

It was the North Vietnamese who ended the War, not Nixon .
Democrats started the war and Nixon, a Republican, ended it.
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

And it was IKE who picked up the pieces from the French.
Should IKE be blamed?
How about a little Korean War revision while you're at it .
Democrats started the war and Nixon, a Republican, ended it.
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

Yes it is. Viewers other channels just do not have the brain for understanding the problem. As a reward they will receive free phones from Obama.
Time to let go of that old lie bub...
The free phone deal was a Bush administration thingl...

... as The New York Times notes in an editorial, the Obama administration does not pass out free phones for votes. There is a national program that provides low-income people with free or discounted phones, but it was started under George W. Bush, Obama's Republican predecessor.

And the idea for subsidized phone service ... originated under the Ronald Reagan administration after the breakup of AT&T. The program is paid for by telecommunications companies through the nonprofit Universal Service Administrative Company, not through taxpayer revenue.
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

Time to let go of that old lie bub...
The free phone deal was a Bush administration thingl...

Then why are they commonly called Obamaphones?

But of course you are wrong in any case and just blaming Bush out of habit..
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

Democrats started the war and Nixon, a Republican, ended it.
We lost the war under the Ford administration...That's when it ended.
Iguanaman is absolutely correct, Nixon undermined the peace agreement LBJ had forged by promising a better deal with the North Vietnam before the election. 30,000 American soldiers died because of Nixon's personal political ambition.
You should be embarrassed that Nixon was in your party.
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden

And yes, you failed to mention who took over in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

Welll of course. they weren't part of the discussion. Do I have to name every country in SE Asia or those which were under attack by communists? What's the matter with you??

With contrived, faulty intel.
The 'faulty intel' that everyone shared and believed.

But not like North Vietnam did.

That's right. The Communists won this battle but ultimately lost the war.

Again, your history revision fails to mention IKE taking over for the French.

Again, this was not under discussion so why would I mention it? Geeez!!

The Obama Phone?
October 29, 2009
Q: Has the Obama administration started a program to use "taxpayer money" to give free cell phones to welfare recipients?
A: No. Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it.
welfare
From Forbes;
The federal program wasn’t started by President Obama. It dates back to the 1980s and was significantly expanded in 1996, as part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The Act did a number of things, including increasing internet access to doctors and patients in rural hospitals (for consults with specialists); subsidizing internet and phone coverage for schools and libraries and providing free or subsidized coverage for families who can’t afford it so that they have links to emergency and government services. The Act was not taxpayer funded… exactly. Taxpayers do pay for coverage but not via federal income taxes. Instead, the Act “mandated the creation of the universal service fund (USF) into which all telecommunications providers are required to contribute a percentage of their interstate and international end-user telecommunications revenues.

So faulty history rewrite and faulty intel under your terms of surrender .

You should be embarrassed that Nixon was in your party.

The last U.S. troops were withdrawn from Vietnam on March 29, 1973 while Richard Nixon was still president.

You should be ashamed of the Union corruption within the US educational system which led you to apparently not know much history, or even search for accuracy before you made such foolish statements.
 
Re: Do you think the Benghazi terror attacks hurt Hillary's chances for the Presiden


That's right. It dates back to the 80's when Ronald Reagan was President, not George Bush as you claimed, though when enacted it was only land lines which were involved, not cell phones.. Original Obamaphone Lady: Obama Voter Says Vote for Obama because he gives a free Phone - YouTube

By the way, your link says the program was 'significantly expanded' in 1996. I suppose you don't know who was president then either.

Perhaps the Communists started the war?? Why are leftists always so keen to blame their fellow Americans for everything?

The American people turned against the war, or at least the Leftists did, just as they did in Afghanistan and Iraq. American is not likely to win another war again, and they haven't for a long while.

Correct. The combat troops were pulled out just before Nixon resigned in disgrace. South Vietnam fell to the North and the war was LOST under FORD.
March 1973




The last American combat soldiers leave South Vietnam, though military advisors and Marines, who are protecting U.S. installations, remain. For the United States, the war is officially over. Of the more than 3 million Americans who have served in the war, almost 58,000 are dead, and over 1,000 are missing in action. Some 150,000 Americans were seriously wounded.

1974

January 1974




Though they are still too weak to launch a full-scale offensive, the North Vietnamese have rebuilt their divisions in the South, and have captured key areas.

North Vietnamese resupply and fortify their forces
August 9, 1974




President Richard M. Nixon resigns, leaving South Vietnam without its strongest advocate.

December 26, 1974




The 7th North Vietnamese Army division captures Dong Xoai.

1975

January 6, 1975




In a disastrous loss for the South Vietnamese, the NVA take Phuoc Long city and the surrounding province. The attack, a blatant violation of the Paris peace agreement, produces no retaliation from the United States.

The North Vietnamese flag flies over Phouc Long
March 1, 1975




A powerful NVA offensive is unleashed in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam. The resulting South Vietnamese retreat is chaotic and costly, with nearly 60,000 troops dead or missing.

During March




Another NVA offensive sends 100,000 soldiers against the major cities of Quang Tri, Hue and Da Nang. Backed by powerful armored forces and eight full regiments of artillery, they quickly succeed in capturing Quang Tri province.

North Vietnamese armored forces
March 25, 1975




Hue, South Vietnam's third largest city, falls to the North Vietnamese Army.

Early April 1975




Five weeks into its campaign, the North Vietnamese Army has made stunning gains. Twelve provinces and more than eight million people are under its control. The South Vietnamese Army has lost its best units, over a third of its men, and almost half its weapons.

April 29, 1975




U.S. Marines and Air Force helicopters, flying from carriers off-shore, begin a massive airlift. In 18 hours, over 1,000 American civilians and almost 7,000 South Vietnamese refugees are flown out of Saigon.

A helicopter lifts off from inside the U.S. Embassy grounds
April 30, 1975




At 4:03 a.m., two U.S. Marines are killed in a rocket attack at Saigon's Tan Son Nhut airport. They are the last Americans to die in the Vietnam War. At dawn, the last Marines of the force guarding the U.S. embassy lift off. Only hours later, looters ransack the embassy, and North Vietnamese tanks role into Saigon, ending the war. In 15 years, nearly a million NVA and Vietcong troops and a quarter of a million South Vietnamese soldiers have died. Hundreds of thousands of civilians had been killed.

How was Gerald Ford involved in Vietnam???

Why are you even on this thread???

Perhaps if war was declared we might win.
The last declaration of war was one that we won with our allies World War Two.

Ford was President when South Vietnam fell. The war that 50,000 Americans died for was lost under his watch.
I am a member here ...just like you.

Wrong... The first cell phones went to welfare families during the Bush administration in a program called "SafeLink Wireless."
This matter is resurfacing now, but it was originally debunked back in 2009 by Factcheck.org. Presently thinkprogress.org has taken the lead charge in debunking this myth.

As it happens the "Obama phone" actually was signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2008. The program is called "SafeLink Wireless." An article from August 2008 confirms this.

How could it be an "Obama phone" when, at that time, the president had barely won the nomination two months prior?

Once again the GOP has reacted without having the facts, and once again they are holding an empty sack.
