Charlie Dent as been to the Middle East twice during his time in office and has met with leaders from Israel, Afghanistan and other countries in the region. He works with a bipartisan group continuously to find workable, responsible plans to successfully get our troops home while leaving troubled regions with some stability. Ms. Bennett falsely claims to have written a document on the war in Iraq, which she only signed on to along with other candidates from her party seeking to be elected to government offices. She is the one who only offers words on this issue, not Rep. Dent. Doesn't she recognize that?<BR/><BR/>Ms. Bennett says,"By the way, Charlie, if you voted one way on bills, it would be very simple." Exactly right. Doesn't she realize that being a U.S. representative is not "simple"? If Rep. Dent voted only one way on every bill that came before him, he would in fact be a rubber stamp who doesn't weigh each bill for it's merits and future impact. By her own reckoning, he's not! Why vote for poor legislation just because its title sounds good? When you do that, the very people you say you are trying to help or protect get screwed.<BR/><BR/>She stated Sunday night that she has documentation for every thing she has said about Rep. voting record. Please, someone from the media, ask her for these documents and show us them. Show us proof that Rep. Dent votes with Bush 100% of the time. I'm a pretty decent researcher, and I can't find evidence of this anywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-79197210310117014972008-09-23T08:43:00.000-04:002008-09-23T08:43:00.000-04:00The ISG ia the instrument that actually contempla...The ISG ia the instrument that actually contemplates the surge. It states that military action, by itself, is not enough. It calls for a bigger effort towards reconciliation in Iraq. And it calls for a surge. <EM>" While this process is under way, and to facilitate it, the United States should significantly increase the number of U.S. military personnel, including combat troops, imbedded in and supporting Iraqi Army units."</EM><BR/><BR/>The surge is actually part of the ISG policy so your comment is pretty much neocon nonsense.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-32862828583510394172008-09-23T07:13:00.000-04:002008-09-23T07:13:00.000-04:00The Iraq Study Group was a load of crap written by...The Iraq Study Group was a load of crap written by a bunch of kabuki dancers to cover their original objective - admit defeat, declare victory, and run like hell. Charlie was a big supporter of the surrender monkey movement. <BR/><BR/>Luckily, proponents of the surge prevailed over the likes Charlie and we've turned Iraq around through strength - not the weakness Charlie advocated. I guess you might credit Charlie's demand for dishonorable surrender with applying pressure to step up the fighting and win the damn thing.<BR/><BR/>The truly sad thing is that, as much of a moron as Charlie is re: Iraq, Sam Bennett is exponentially worse. This really is a lesser of two idiots election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
