Tom Harkin (hypocrite) Say What?

It would seem that Tom Harkin fully believes that the Progressive re-wrting of history occurs the second someone is finished speaking. He thinks that the spin machine is following right behind them to clean up or erase comments he and other Progressives make as soon as they say them.


Unfortunately for Tom the Progressives are still sometime away from being able to eliminate previous comments or even past votes take by Congresspeople.


Tom decides to take an opportunity to insult Conservatives but since he has forgotten his response to the same set of circumstances from the past he doesn't get that he is just showing his true Liberal idiocy and hypocrisy.


Tom says.....





But in the past Tom has done this.....

On Debt Ceiling Votes, Senate Dems Have Some Explaining To Do
9:17 AM, Apr 12, 2011 • By MICHAEL WARREN

As Congress considers whether to raise the debt ceiling in the coming weeks, President Obama has had to respond to questions about his own prior votes on the debt limit when he was a United States senator. Obama's press secretary Jay Carney told reporters yesterday that the president "regrets" his 2006 vote against raising the debt ceiling, saying Obama believes it was a mistake. But what about his fellow Democratic senators?


On that particular vote in March 2006, 44 Democrats voted "nay," including 31 senators who are still in office. They are Daniel Akaka of Hawaii, Max Baucus of Montana, Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico, Barbara Boxer of California, Maria Cantwell of Washington, Tom Carper of Delaware, Kent Conrad of North Dakota, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Dianne Feinstein of California, Tom Harkin of Iowa, Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, Tim Johnson of South Dakota, John Kerry of Massachusetts, Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Carl Levin of Michigan, Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, Patty Murray of Washington, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Bill Nelson of Florida, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Harry Reid of Nevada, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, Chuck Schumer of New York, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, and Ron Wyden of Oregon. In addition, three members of Obama's cabinet voted the same way: Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.......

So it would appear that whenever it is a Republican in office, raising the debt ceiling is not an option, but when his party is in control it is a totally different manner. This is why we must remember and keep track of what these people say and have this info handy when we need to remind family freinds and colleagues.
