Eliot Spitzer Creepily Exploits Military Family’s Financial Troubles for Political Gain
http://www.mrc.org/biasalert/2011/20110411053858.aspx
If you’re not familiar with Spitzer, he is the disgraced former Governor of New York who, true-to-Leftist-form, has been rehabilitated and returned to the spotlight as a CNN political analyst.

If Leftists practiced the same tolerance for Right-wing pols, I’d maybe buy into their claim that “only what they do on the job matters” to them. But I still remember the outraged Left’s lynching of Judge Clarence Thomas for maybe or maybe not having made “sexually provocative statements” to an employee who continued to work for him in not one, but two different jobs.
Somehow, it was only when Thomas, a strict constructionist, was headed for SCOTUS, that this faithful employee suddenly morphed into the Left’s Favorite Sexual Assault Victim of the Century. How amazing that, just a few years later, a semen stain a naive young intern got on her blue dress while kneeling on the Oval Office rug was evidence of no more than one teensy weensy, inconsequential, very PERSONAL failing of a beloved Left-wing president.
But I digress. This was supposed to be about how suddenly the Left gives a crap about the military.
I don’t remember any Leftist concern for military families last year when the All Democrat All The Time Federal Government was SUPPOSED to be writing and passing THIS YEAR’S budget. How dare they try and blame the threat of government shut-down on Republicans who weren’t even in office then!
For the 2006 and 2008 elections, Leftists paraded rows and rows of dead soldier photos past us and featured weepy Gold Star moms and widows on the nightly news. Soldiers are still dying in our not one, not two, but THREE wars. Seen any dead photos lately? How about Code PINK’s favorite Gold Star mom, Cindy Sheehan? Me neither.
Then there was General Betray Us. Remember that? MoveOn.org kept their vile trash posted right up until His O’liness, the Messiah, put the good general in charge of Afghanistan. Then, whoopsie, that Big Famous ad they were So Proud Of was alllll gooone.

Now that Republicans have a majority in the House and are TRYING to rein in run-away Dem spending before the economy gets any worse, the Left is back to using the popularity of the military among decent Americans to score political points for their Socialist agenda. What a bunch of bloviating phonies.
THEY did this to us …

And speaking of bloated phonies … does anyone find the IRONY in Michelle Obama’s latest project?

I mean … it was HER husband who SAID that if Congress didn’t arrive at an agreement before the government shut down, he was NOT going to make an exception for military pay!
I remember when Democrats had the majority in Congress under Bush, they refused to allocate funds to those soldiers who were under fire. And I will not soon forget La Clinton’s bellicose lies about how the eeevil Bushitler had fooled her into believing the Iraq War was necessary.
CSB @ http://news.webshots.com/photo/2791218150056011884JwtKgz
It never ceases to amaze how the Left managed to simultaneously believe their mutually exclusive memes that Bush was somehow both too stupid to put together a sentence and wily enough to pull the wool over the eyes of all the Smarter Than God Leftists like Clinton who voted for the war.
Never mind how it still makes me break out in a rash when I think about how they crucified Bush and Cheney as blood-thirsty, evil, blood-for-oil maniacs, when both of them honestly and deeply cared about our military men and women.
Both of THEM routinely visited with wounded soldiers … without cameras. Remember when Campaign Obama was scheduled to go visit a military hospital, then canceled at the last minute when they wouldn’t let his “people” (cameras) inside with him?
And where’s MEchelle been for the past two years? Not that any military wives I know wanted to have to make nicey-nice to her, but she did say early on that “supporting military families” would be a “top priority” for her as First Lady.

I have always thought MEchelle’s switch to childhood obesity had more to do with the liberal media than anything.

She’s deeply committed to healthy eating? Really?

Maybe the WH is afraid MrsO will turn into a closet drunk if she doesn’t have anything to do.
So, huggery-muggery with the polite military families, photo-ops of a fashion-disaster reading from a teleprompter and poof! we loves our soldiers (we just don’t want to pay them when things get tough).
It’s almost a miracle; the woman who was never proud of her country 3 years ago now embraces the military establishment. Must be the air in AF1.

Well, her husband certainly scared the bejesus out them last week, and maybe again this week? I don’t know how anyone can take her faux caring seriously.

In our military town, Navy Relief was on standby to help the families if their checks didn’t appear on time. Will MMM-MMM-MO acknowledge them?

Yes…and Navy Federal was pledging to advance everyone their pay, too. It was actually somewhat of a good thing, because many of the service members went online to check their upcoming paychecks and it showed that they were only getting half their pay. It was a big slap of reality for some of them and they all knew that Obama had said he’d veto the military spending bill. Hubby says there’s not a single person left in his squadron now who’d vote to re-elect him. Let’s hope they remember it come election time!

Well, the timing is just too much for me. It drives me crazy that most people have no idea how blatantly patronizing this really is, because they weren’t paying attention to last week’s battles about payment for the troops in the event of the government shutdown. Thank you for the opportunity to forward this about the inner tubes, Chrissy.

It would have made more sense for Obama to threaten Congress’s pay, afterall, it’s them that screwed up, not the troops.
