Rep. Walter Jones wants to pull out of Iraq/Blames Neo-Cons

Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC), the very man who was so gung-ho for the war, he got “French Fries” rechristened “Freedom Fries” in the congressional cafeteria, will be introducing a bill next week calling for a withdrawal date.

1. The "freedom fries/freedom toast" thing still embarrasses me

in front of non-Americans. :shrug:

2. I don't trust him.

It's the same way I don't trust Biden, I can't trust someone who's linked to the pockets of corporations. Voinovich I think has shown some real integrity and I find his display worthy of applause. I trust Voinovich knowing how corrupt he has been in the past and willing to call out corruption for what it is.

4. I'm still weary of Voinovich even

I'm sure he knows what happened with Ohio and the coin scandal going on there. Plus why the hell didn't Voinovich just vote "no" in the committe and not have it go to the floor of the Senate? :eyes:

5. I don't know about that.

But I talked to him and even heard from his staff, he is very disturbed about what's taking place in Ohio. His daughter was killed in an accident a few years ago and he is rather disgusted at how bad Ohio has turned out, and does not like to remember when he helped facilitate it.

I bet you he knows how many elections Blackwell has stolen.

6. Well now, this is an intriguing piece of information.

I've had experience with the type of loss you described Voinovich experiencing. It changes your life and rocks your world in ways that only those who have shared the experience understand. He's what they call, I think, a "wily survivor." If he ever turned on the Ohio mob, there would be Hell to pay. It's enough to may me pray! Thanks!

9. I saw this guy on one of the Sunday shows this AM.

My first thought was, uh oh...Pubs are turning against Shrub! I sure can't say I'm supporting the Pubs here, but it's GREAT to see the Pubs split!!! If that really happens, Rove won't be able to control it!

I can't wait to watch the fireworks!!!!!

10. I watched Walter Jones this morning and believe he's

really sincere.

He's also going to take a lot of heat from Tom Delay, Roy Blunt and the administration for this interview.

11. Sorry I can't trust him

or any other republican. Is he up for re-election in 2006? Those that are going to be running again will say what ever they need to to be re-elected. They can be very sincere when the party's majority is on the line.
