Speaking of Hypocrisy - GOP

Speaking of Hypocrisy - GOP Senate candidate Norm Coleman criticized paleoliberal Senator Paul Wellstone's record on Defense.

The real news, and conversational beef, was in Wellstone's response. It illustrates the paleo-liberals' contempt for defense and the military.

It's really so unfortunate he's going down this road. I really mean it," he said. "None of us could have ever believed that we would have been attacked in our own country like we were.

Sorry, Paul - some "of us" not only believed it, but have been warning the rest "of us" about it for years. Including military and security planners - the ones you and your party so derisively dismiss.

Wellstone's campaign is accusing Coleman of using the 9/11 tragedy to try to get votes and is calling Coleman's comments about American causalities in Afghanistan "low blow politics at its worst."

That's right - criticizing your voting record is so much worse than accusing Republicans of wanting to throw children and old people out in the street.

Wellstone must go. Hopefully this site will help!
