Republican Congressman Tom Cole claims a vote against the re-election of President Bush is like supporting Adolph Hitler during World War Two. It's what he said recently before a meeting of Canadian County Republicans.
U-S Representative Tom Cole might have stirred up Democrats by saying a vote against the re-election of President Bush is like supporting Adolph Hitler during World War Two. Or supporting Osama bin Laden now. "If George Bush loses the election, Osama bin Laden wins the election," Cole is quoted in this week's edition of the Yukon Review which covered the recent meeting of the Canadinan County Republicans where Cole was a speaker. The newspaper says Cole claims if Bush loses his re-election bid, the enemies of the U-S will interpret it as a victory for bin Laden. No comment so far from Oklahoma Democratic party leaders to see if they think Cole is comparing John Kerry to Adolph Hitler or Osama bin Laden. In the Yukon Review article, Cole is quoted as asking what Hitler might have thought had Franklin Roosevelt not been re-elected in 1944. (JB)
I guess Man Coulter and Rush will be all over that, huh?
Now for something completely different, and far more amusing:

Do not thou be too hasty, quoth McDermott
Amid increasing rancor over same sex-marriages and the federal marriage amendment, Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) took to the House floor last week to denounce the invocation of "biblical principles" of marriage by the "presidential prayer team."
In a one-minute address, the fiery Seattle liberal said the book of Genesis allows for marriage "between one man and one or more women" and that "marriage of a believer and a nonbeliever shall be forbidden."
And from Deuteronomy: "A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed."
And he said, according to the Bible, "divorce is not possible, and finally, if a married man dies, his brother has to marry his sister-in-law."
