To some that post here, the ends justifies the means. At least until those lying, cheating or otherwise displaying questionable conduct become a political liability.
I am not surpirsed at the tactic, however. Just standard fare from the libs/Dems.
we may differ. Those whom would find our current conservative leadership are conservative in fact mistaken. This current class has made an ugly frontal assault on the rule of law and the Constitution and have attempted an enfilade of ugly misrepresentation and out right lies. The result has been that the swing voters and independents who gave the W_administration so much lee-way and hopeful support have failed utterly. The indicators from yesterdays gubernatorial turn out of a very dirty Republican and his indicted but pardoned minions is a bellwether. Kentucky is a one party state. One wing is Democrat and one is Republican. They turned the rascals out.
Gunny I invite you to take a hard look at what has been carried out in your name. Restructuring ones point of view based on the intentions, actions and outcomes of ones favored politicos is not a sign of weakness or even that of admitting to error. I would suggest that it is a conservative thing to do.
I am a Democrat because I have a long history of being such. When I got out of the military and went to college, my support was assailed by some professors and my fellows in the Student Senate. I was on the wrong side of those who would reuke me for my military service and those who would rebuke me for having opinions and a point of view that was broadened by world travel and my exposure to all that came with a Crypto clearance.
Things haven't changed all that much since 1969 in the Spook business. Information is available. Conclusions can be drawn across a broad spectrum of possibilities. I am old enough to have heard all the Presidents speak since Truman. I know who has raised my bull shit hackles and who has soothed me a bit. I know who has let some scoundrels lead them by the nose and who those held their advisor's to a very stringent analysis of truth.
The tide has turned on this current bunch. As a matter of fact they are hard aground and sending up flares of desperation. It is noones (Scots. usage) fault but their own. They have been all guile and they have no way of coming clean. They do have certitude, but so did Custer and before him Pickett.
I believe you know that I have a supportive military position that favors military preparation and a sensible "forewarned is forearmed" orientation. No administration can cook the books and repeat gaffs and real cover your ass flip-flops without rebuke. It is coming. Some really talented military, CIA and state department talent has been trashed in favor of a fever dream and voo-doo decision making.
I was never a hard striper after PFC (E-3). I got a second stripe but it was over my bird, a specialist. I worked with lots of geniuses in the ranks. My liberal
bona fides were well supported by the results, brilliant and poor, that I witnessed in the military.
Things are not right. Results have been poor of late. I am not lulled in by the quiet we experienced in the theaters in October. I believe that come spring a rested, reorganized and capable enemy will spring on our forces again. It is too quiet. It is time to double down and to throw out another defense line and to harden what we have. Only this time we will have to be a whole lot smarter about it and shore up the military with what has here-to-fore been throw away on private armies.
As usual, I am all over the place, but my point is that unless we get over the name calling and get the names and game of our enemies, a comedy of errors will continue.
I AM
