Robert Wexler: 5 Years in Iraq

[lou737]

On Hardball while discussing the aid for family planning included in the stimulus package, Chris Matthews says that government support for family planning "sounds like China" to him. Robert Wexler attempts to reason with him and explains that proper funding and education in this area actually increases people's choices and ultimately reduces medical costs

[jamesbeach2]

he's a nobody trying to be a somebody. attacking bush is his hopeful ticket to success. what a loser. he has done nothing for florida and his political career may be over.

[mtf10]

Haha...are you kidding. Wexler doesn't even have opposition run against him because he's so popular in his district. Get a clue.

[milofonbil]

Actually, Robert Wexler has opposition in

Florida's 19th district from Ben Graber - a turncoat Democrat and Edward Lynch - a slimy Republican to unseat him. It's in their interest to protect the criminals in office for some reason.

I just gave $50 to Robert Wexler's campaign.

"Thank you for your generous contribution of $50. Your confirmation number is VLCA2ED0XXXX."

[CaliBeach0007]

Mtf: With all due respect, that's not accurate. FL-19 is an overwhelmingly Democratic district, with a rating of D+21 (that's a very liberal district, akin to many of NYC's districts). Bush got 34% of the vote there in '04. So Wexler's a safe incumbent, pretty much as long as he doesn't kill someone or get booted for failing to meet residency requirements (being a Maryland resident). Thus, unfortunately, he will be in Congress until he retires, is defeated in a primary, or is gerrymandered out.

[mtf10]

He's popular because he's a liberal. It's really just a different way of looking at it. People in his district want him to act this way, and thus he is.

[oldstock1607]

Just look at the face of this fucking K-I-K-E. just his fucking HUGE honker and his whiny, snivelly, Jewy voice pisses me off....not to mention his treason.

HERE he is, Muslims....a JEW--AND your greatest ALLY.

[CastorT64]

Hey, Wexler, what would you know about war? You've never served a day in the military, let alone in combat.

You run along now, and let REAL MEN worry about America's national security. bye bye

[rodneykingman]

Anyone interested in understanding more about the bill that Wexler voted for that will take away all your constitutional rights can do so on my page. I have several informative videos about the bill. Just type in "constitution" in the search bar for my page.

[ikekll]

Hello, I'm citizen "concerned!"

Who owns you sir?

Who is Philip Zelikow??

WE the PEOPLE want YOU our reps. to arrest DICK CHENEY NOW!!!

"Blackwater's money didn't start rolling in until after 911."

watch?v=uP_m4m62IfI

Wexler, may I suggest an investigation to dis-cover representatives who have money invested in war/defense or defense-related stock.

[rodneykingman]

What the fuck Wexler!?! You voted yes on H.R. 1955!?! You fucking traitor! You are a fascist Nazi fuck! That act destroys everything for which our founding fathers and the U.S. constitution stand. You are a traitor!

[Fullmetalpizza]

If that's true then i used to have respect for the guy.

[rodneykingman]

Fullmetalpizza: It is true. IN FACT; only 8 congressman voted no on H.R. 1955 (The law that completely nullifies the Constitution for you new-bees) Kucinich being the most prominent. It is now in the senate and in the Dept. of Homeland Security office holding for approval. It is only a matter of time now before it becomes law and the United States and the United States Constitution cease to exist as we know them.

[boohface62]

The Bush administration needs to not only be impeached, but imprisoned. The entire past seven-plus years has been one long treasonous act.

Don't bother replying (well, I guess you're free to respond if you like), but I won't get into it with you, as it's obvious your profanity-laced posts proves you don't know what you're talking about and that you are incapable of having a real debate on any of these issues.

[boohface62]

My post was addressed to rodneykingman.

[rodneykingman]

What are you trying to say? I agree with you completely... My "profanity laced blah blah blah..." "Proves that I blah blah..." That's a moronic and childish thing to say now ain't it? That "proves" nothing other than the fact that I was fucking pissed off. I wrote that within seconds of finding out that Wexler voted yes on H.R. 1955!

[rodneykingman]

Are you stupid? Do YOU know what you are talking about? I think not. You'd surely be fucking using fucking profanity too if you did, especially if you supported and voted for Wexler. Aren't you tired of the ignorant imbeciles that post comments on YouTube? Why would you wan to be part of that club? Educate yourself man, it won't hurt much... Wexler is a traitor.

[boohface62]

Point proven. Childish and moronic people use profanity and call others "stupid" when they can't or won't debate intelligently. Yes, Mr. Kingman, I am tired of the ignorant imbeciles who post comments. Good day, sir.

[rodneykingman]

Yes, thank you for agreeing. I did prove my point. Intelligent people also use profanity when they find out that someone they voted for and have supported voted for a bill that dissolves the constitution. If you do not see this you are simply a disinformation/propaganda agent and therefor your point-of-view is completely irrelevant. I hope you now understand what my original comment was based on and the frustration I may be feeling and what this bill means to you.

[rodneykingman]

You do understand that it specifically says in this bill that you would be arrested and tried as a terrorist for speaking of and supporting cause to impeach this president? Please tell me that you understand this and my frustration and therefor justification of profanity so I can put aside my suspicions of your being a disinformation agent and propagandist. Or don't recognize this and we shall all know the truth. Either way...

[rodneykingman]

[brendanrobmo]

this still clings to asshole motherfucker w's concoction of some war on 'terror' saying it's compromised.What the fuck is a war on terror? who's that?some force or invisible entity? come the fuck on motherfucker.mass murderer.retarded power/money-drunk imperialistic mass murderer.one who WE elected in 04, lets not forget.he should fry.fukin fry.and every spouse mother father sister brother son daughter & friend of Americans & Iraqis hes killed should be able to piss on him while it's happening

[brendanrobmo]

if the democrats are doing so much to end the war, why did they continue to fund it after we elected them to congress in '06 TO STOP THE MOTHERFUCKING WAR?

[disguized1]

i'm sure, if bush was a democrat this guy would be a republican =)

At any rate, impeaching cheney is the right thing to do. Imprisoning and punishing the entire Bush admin and the beasts behind the scenes pulling the admin's strings need to be imprisoned too.

[KidSheIeen]

If President Bush was Democratic this guy would be singing an exact opposite song.

[TKDJimi]

Wexler is awesome.

[bubba007ss]

You come over to our country and take out our President,military US Senate Police all leader ship.And see how long it takes to put things back together again Their would be so much kayos going on in our country it would seem like for ever. They are fighting now in our country.Patience is virtue that our country needs to practice it more.

[ikekll]

Soldiers tortured by electrocution and Haliburton is once again implicated.

Was it not enough that Haliburton/KBR provided untreated water to the soldiers.

The war is funded too graciously for this to be occuring. If you're not going to bring them home, at least provide what they need!

[JimLundberg]

Invasion without a declaration of war means it is an unconstitutional act. A "resolution" of allowing military action is not the same thing. I'm sending my son, who is now of military age, to Canada until the depression/world war is over.

[rodneykingman]

Don't you think if this was true they would have declared war or congress and the American people would have authorized a pull out by now?

[reizul]

Go back to sleep...!

[fsgm75]

Thank you sir ! Too bad there are so few like you in congress. Keep up the good work - there are some of us who are listening.

[DillonX]

Under Saddam there was "Freedom of Religion" in Iraq. In fact, Saddam set up special provisions to protect the Jews & Nuns & even had Christians in high government positions.

Now, THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF RELIGION IN IRAQ!

Many Jews & Christians have fled.

And at least give the French some credit as they're now accepting into France some of the remaining Christians & Jews trying to get out Iraq.

[kimintexas]

Thank you Congressman Wexler for the truth!

[bubba007ss]

In 1997 or 1998 Clinton sent bombers over to Iraq. he said in his speach that the inteligence had informed him that Sadam had Weapons of mass destruction. So off went the bombers and killed a lot of people. But nothing is being mention about that.Because the Dems are Hypocrites and Liers

[BeondaPale]

Learn how to SPELL: speech, intelligence and liars before commenting on them Bubba.

[FattKidd]

You don't know any Dems then because a lot spoke out about that AND the sanctions that CLinton placed on Iraq that killed a million children in Iraq. Most of us know that there is no difference between a Clinton & a Bush, or an Obama & a McCain for that matter. NONE of these have said they would pull out ALL US troops, contractors & bureaucrats. Nothing will change. No matter who's elected, we'll be in Iraq for years. Probably never fully leave. So, get ready for more wars & more terrorism.

[Yankhadenough]

bubba007ss Clinton did not lie about wmd in Iraq, that is why he got UN backing to bomb wmd sites. That is why there are NO wmd now(duh). I did not vote for Clinton. Biggest mistake of my voter's life.

[bubba007ss]

You know I am a carpenter it takes 5 years to say you have experience and Seven to say you know what you are doing.We went in to Iraq and took out all their leader ship and it takes time to get things right to be sure that you know what you are doing.The so called smart people wanted to withdraw in the third year of the war. We have a lot of selfish people with no direction in the way that they think.Lets try and get this thing right. They rule out commonsense

[FattKidd]

So, is Iraq a democracy or not? If so, then why don't the Iraqi people get a say in what goes on there? They want us out. End of story. By staying there, you're proving to them that Democracy is bullshit. This war is about empire & creating a staging base of operations for more wars in the middle east which we fight to protect corporate interests.

[Thehappyhippies]

That is the best comment I have ever seen on Youtube. (other then my own of course)

[cincinnatusnow]

Impeach all the neocon fascists/corporatists who created this war by misguiding the American people.They have been wrong too many times and cannot be allowed to continue the damage they are doing to America.

[patsagainstrats]

Hack Wexler must really be worried about retaining his seat in Congress. I find his pandering to his hard-left, moonbat base quite amusing. He's like a reassuring father telling his children

childrem that if they're good...Santa will arrive bagful of presents for them. Little do they know, however, that loser dad's really broke, and they won't get shit. LOL!

[DillonX]

If you were massively in debt would you think it wise to go much farther in debt?

At some pt you have to stop digging!

McCain will totally bankrupt our country.

VOTE ANYONE BUT MCCAIN.

FROM A VETERAN.

[rockondon]

I LIKE COCAINE CAUSE THE GOVERNMENT Flies

PLANES FROM COLOMBIA AND FLYS IT TO MENA ARKANSAS 180 billion per yr industry

fuck that fake war

[ciberwarrior]

I like cocaine because .....

[normlsparky]

impeach these traitors. they are not representing the will of the american people. torture, lies, greed and the consolidation of power into the hands of the few at the expense of us all. destruction of our constitutional rights. we are seeing our govt turn into a dictatorship. anyone involved should be held accountable for these actions. we impeached nixon and clinton for FAR LESS.

[micsc50]

We will be there another 25 years. Just like N. Korea. The war is over whe we win. The surge has worked. No one has admitted failure. Wexler you are a liar and a yellow rat bastard. You voted to go to war so did the democRAT party. Get over it. You better worry about a racist democRAT being the next comander and chief.

[jcanavan]

to find out who your rep is put "write your representative" into a google search

[lallanilla]

Someone please put this man in charge. It takes real huevos to make a statement like this, especially in conservative Florida. IMPEACH NOW!

[expatted]

You live in Florida? My heart goes out to you. It must be hell.

Hurray for Wexler. Do you really want another 100 years with McSame???

[Mohawk072]

here is a guy worth voting for.

[zizizzi]

Thank you Congressman Robert Wexler!

I salute you for your bravery.

Please be careful and watch your back.

I would stay off of airplanes if I were you!

I just keep thinking of Senator Paul Wellstone :(

[eenkmouse2311]

...and Larry MacDonald,and Ron Brown,and so on,and so on...google "clinton body count" to see a list of the Bush-Clinton gang's handiwork

[gerald333]

Kudos to Mr. Wexler, but alas after all this time does he or anyone else think anything will be done? Seventy percent of the Country doesn't trust Bush and have accepted the fact he's a bald-faced liar. Thirty percent want him impeached, including me. Our lawmakers in D.C. ignore our voices on a regular basis. If anyone really thinks that the U.S. is still democracy is fooling themselves. I doubt it's going to get any better.

[expatted]

Turn off Nritney/Paris/Lohan etc., and contact your Representatives and Senators, for a start. Then talk to your neighbours and co-workers. Duh!! Get moving.

[Ralphdraw3]

Call Congress:

202-224-3121 (your two Senators and your Rep.)

The White House:

202-456-1111

[darryldelgado]

We need more voices like this in congress. To hell with the Schumers and the Clintons who do nothing to fight this president.

[waveoflight]

Go Wexler!!!

[RamsWrath]

Well said, Congressman. You're a hero for this generation.

[TheBigHo111]

AHHH... refreshing. Nice to hear that sweet word, blunder. I 'm behind ya 100% Wexler!

[nitrog48]

Congressman Wexler is a brave man who is not afraid to speak the truth about the corrupt war and those who run it. He is a hero and a national treasure.

[merlincurry]

nitroq48 - I couldn't agree more. Brave, honest, speaking truth to power. Go Wexler!

[BloodNGutts]

We want to Impeach Bush because it would be a fun thing to do !! Go RW

[rodneykingman]

This man sure can talk.....

Why is he not running?

Makes ya think, don't it?

[RamsWrath]

Maybe because he likes his job serving the people of Florida. Why aren't you running for something ? Makes ya think, eh ?

[rodneykingman]

No, not really. I am not a politician. And I don't criticize my colleagues. Wexler does both. Besides, I make a whole hell of a lot more money than any politician could ever dream.

[seenthelight2times]

Hey I am a Sales rep, but I don't have a good product to rep. Since you are doing so very well maybe you could help me out... I need a JOB! I have been thinking the only thing I can do is try to make more money, could you help me? I am in Portland OR.

[SergioMomarsh]

The outrage has been silenced with the strong arm of the law, abused by the Republicans who have used the Patriot Act as a tool of politics to silence voices of opposition, both in online discussion, and organization.

[wildawake]

The outrage is RIGHT HERE! I wrote to my congressman, Michael Burgess, and he said - and I quote, "I don't agree." Then he went on to tell me what a good job Bush and Co. have done. What can I do? I am starting to think that the 33% of people who approve of Bush ARE IN CONGRESS. If 66% of people disapprove, why doesn't congress do something? It's frightening and it sure makes me want to move...to the Netherlands. Thank you for all YOU are doing. You seem to be the only one doing anything.

[SergioMomarsh]

For proof, see my playlist titled: Helping Out The President. 95% of the videos that damn the President and the VP have been removed from YouTube through use of legal actions.

[SSparks555]

I agree with everything RW said. When will we as American citizens Impeach??? When will We show, not only Ourselces, but, to the rest of the World and to History that we were a People who did not just stand by and let things happen???

[wildawake]

How can we, as American citizens, impeach?

[trauts01]

here is how...

impeachforpeace (dot) org

Thanks to Thomas Jefferson, the ole radical that he was, there is a way ofr the citizens to act and in jun or jul of last year Kucinich agreed to help.

[GalacticQuest]

Forget about Giuliani and McCain.
