I caught a bit of Rush's show at lunch. He was talking about Tim Russert mentioning that his staff could not find one Democrat opposed to funding the war in Iraq. Well, Russert's staff, try this; google "not one more dime":
Congressman Dennis Kucinich has this posted on his website:
Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) issued the following statement today on the Iraq war supplemental being debated today in the House.
"After three years arrogance and incompetence, contempt and lies, death and destruction, Congress should say enough is enough and provide not one more dime for this Administration’s ill-conceived, ill-advised, misguided and failed Iraq policy. "
“Iraq has held three elections and is now a sovereign nation. Meanwhile, our troops are caught in the middle of a civil war that our own generals say cannot be won by military force. To funnel more money into this failed misadventure would serve only to throw good money after bad.
“Congress should not serve as a rubber stamp of this Administration’s failed policies. Congress should reject this Supplemental request, along with the Administration’s failed policy in Iraq, and work to bring all our troops home.”
Maybe it was just too difficult to find the Congressman's website. But you would think they might have at least seen the reference to Kucinich's "not one more dime for war" position on their own network in this MSNBC article:
“Not one more dime for this administration’s ill-conceived, ill-advised, misguided and failed Iraq policy,” said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio.
By the way, the article says 52 democrats in the House voted against the war supplement, but Russert couldn't find one democrat who opposed funding for Iraq?
Ray,
You are getting good and not only saying when someone in the press gets its wrong but proving it.
Nice job.
I hope Rush picks this one up.
