“CEDAW would give busybody global bureaucrats and activist judges extraordinary powers to revise U.S. laws, education and customs to comport with radical feminist ideology. If President Bush wants to re-establish friendly connections with pro-family voters, whom he conspicuously ignored in his State of the Union speech, he should UNsign this Carter-signed UN Treaty just as he UNsigned the Clinton-signed International Criminal Court Treaty.”

HuffPo: Arianna – Hillary: 9/11 made her do it

Team Hillary’s Latest Excuse for Iraq Vote: 9/11 Made Her Do It!

“And it’s not just Carville dishing out this nonsense. In an interview last month, Hillary herself offered the same excuse, telling the AP: “As a senator from New York, I lived through 9/11 and am still dealing with the aftereffects.” Call it PTJS (Post Traumatic Justification Syndrome).

Yesterday’s New York Times reported that “Mrs. Clinton’s advisers do not relish the idea of someone bringing up her 2002 Senate vote [on Iraq] at every campaign stop.”

Then they better come up with a better answer than the drivel they are asking voters to buy.”

Funny.
I’m not sure we want someone like Hillary in the white house, too many lies that she has never been held accountable for. Although it is funny watching Arianna give her a hard time about her waffling on the war.

Michelle Malkin: An Obamanation

February 14, 2007Jenny Marie Hatch

An Obamanation
“Wasted” candidacy.

“I have good news for everyone offended by the description of Sen. Barack Obama as “articulate.” He has quickly shed any claim to that label. Indeed, Obama’s remarks this week about American troops killed in Iraq were a bumbling, incoherent mess. You may now refer to him officially as the Inarticulate Barack Obama. (As for judging his current level of cleanliness and brightness, you know that’s Joe Biden’s milieu.)

At one of his opening presidential campaign events on the Iowa State University campus this weekend, Obama pandered energetically to the antiwar crowd. With his smooth voice rising and thousands of fans goading him on, he proclaimed: “We ended up launching a war that should have never been authorized, and should have never been waged, and to which we have now spent $400 billion and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted.”

Yes, “wasted.” Squandered. Pointless. Down the drain. Meaningless. Video footage of the speech shows Sen. Obama delivering his scripted words carefully and confidently. No umms or ahhs or pauses as he argued that each and every member of the military who volunteered to serve and died in Iraq “wasted” his/her life.

This revealing slip of Obama’s tongue and mind — or “Obamanation,” as conservative blogger Scott Johnson at Power Line calls it — did not play well among countless service members and their families who actually support their mission and sacrifice. Who repeatedly volunteer to go back even after the war has taken a turn for the worse. Who believe their work enhances their children’s and our children’s safety. Who risk their lives purposefully and of their own free will. Despite every best effort of the Democrats, media and anti-war movement to infantilize or demonize them, their voices are heard.”
