Congressman admits Democrats "stretched the facts," misled anti-war supporters about supposed plans for ending War | Redstate



YouTube - Rep. Kanjorski admits the Democrats Over-Promised on Iraq

"I'll tell you my impression. We really in this last election, when I say we...the democrats, I think pushed it 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 was a good student of Government would know that wasn't true. But you know, the temptation to want to win back the Congress, we sort of stretched the facts...and people ate it up."

They are laughing at us. Anyone who really believes that Democrats (Presidential or other) will end this war needs to wake up. These people have no intention of stopping the war or changing our government.

Of course they did. And then they sold out their constituency for pork.

Hilarious.

Kanjorski Caught On Tape Saying Dems Oversold Ability To End Iraq War, By Josh Kraushaar - CBS News

“I expressed my belief that some Democrats in 2006 overestimated the ability of a single house of Congress to end the war, particularly in the face of an intransigent President and Senate Republicans who are committed to continuing the war,” Kanjorski said.

Now well, by having a president who wants to end this war (Obama), plus this "single house of Congress", the results might be different.
