How does this make you feel?
Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) is seen in a video that has surfaced on the Web saying that Democrats “sort of stretched the facts” in the 2006 elections about their ability to end the Iraq war.
In a video, posted to YouTube on Thursday, Kanjorski reflects on the Democrats’ approach to the war in 2006 and said they pushed the rhetoric “as far as we can to the end of the fleet — didn’t say it, but we implied it — that if we won the congressional elections, we could stop the war.
“Now, anybody who’s a good student of government would know it wasn’t true,” he said. “But you know, the temptation to want to win back the Congress — we sort of stretched the facts.”
The video was dated Aug. 28, 2007, by the person who posted it. The remarks are not placed in a larger context.
Refreshing candor or maddening duplicity?
He is senile like McCain.
A release of the ‘secret strategy’ makes it look like that was all they were up to.. I think they were not just unable, but unwilling to stop the war. I charge of keeping the anti-War populace in line through the ‘Big Tease’, I say.
But I’m not a ‘good’ student of government. Definitely and evil student. For sure.
I’m shocked, shocked to hear that politicians are stretching the truth! < gasp >
ROTFLMAO!!!
how about: maddening candor?
‘cuz that was my reaction. i knew it was the truth at the time, but it pisses me off and makes me want to support primary challengers.
At least they could have TRIED to stop it. They didn’t even try.
