Rockefeller and the Arguments of Dumb Dems
A couple Sundays ago, Sen. Rockefeller (D-WV) was on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace (son of Mike Wallace), and this was a portion of the interview:
Frankly, senator, I'd appreciate it if you were serious about the subject. Trying to weasel out of your vote and blame the President for the pre-war intelligence is not serious. Pretending that similar pronouncements to the President's about the threat Iraq posed did not come from Clinton, Gore, Kerry, YOURSELF, and pretty much every other democrat in the Senate, along with most of those in the House, is not serious. Pretending that it was Bush exaggerating the intelligence when British, German, French, Russian, and other foreign intelligence agencies came to the same conclusion is not serious.
See, this is part of the reason I hate Democrats. They're always seeking to blame others for their own problems. They voted for it, now they want to weasel out of it. There's a complete lack of personal responsiblity. This manifests itself across several other policy positions, too, and, of course, lack of personal responsiblity tends to be the motto of one of the most Democratic groups in the nation, defense lawyers. You even see their commercials on tv -- you got caught doing something, call us and we'll try to get you off scott-free. Very irritating.
SEN. ROCKEFELLER: Chris, there's always the same conversation. You know it was(more of the transcript available here)
not the Congress that sent 135,000 or 150,000 troops.
WALLACE: But you
voted, sir, and aren't you responsible for your vote?
SEN. ROCKEFELLER:
No.
WALLACE: You're not?
SEN. ROCKEFELLER: No. I'm responsible
for my vote, but I'd appreciate it if you'd get serious about this subject, with
all due respect. ...
