JD Hayworth Avoids Simple Question from CodePink Liz

This was at Dobson High School in Mesa, AZ on Feb 18 2009. President Obama was giving a speech and many people showed up to greet and protest him. Former lip-flapper Congressman JD Hayworth showed up to play his part among the right-wing nuts.

Liz asked JD about Iraq and the millions of dollars spent there...not to mention the US and Iraqi lives that have been destroyed. But JD's mouth seems snap shut when asked tough questions.

In the end, JD was asked if he would voted to send our troops to invade Iraq, if given another chance. He responds "In a New York nanosecond".

@ddbarker1 yes, his non-reply was a diversion.

How come there are no Code Pinkers in places like China, North Korea, Iran or Saudi Arabia??

JD WTF does Iraq have to do with American freedom?

Have you teabagged your favorite RepubliCUNT today?

[ddbarker1]

Lizzy, your tough question fell upon a politician's question meant to set you off emotionally with buzzword "freedom". When he turned and walked you got this round.

"You make it sound like we do it as a first choice."

Choice to deal with what? You make it sound like it was a war of necessity. Iraq had no WMD and no workable ties with Al Qaida. This has been proven.

"You're asking aboutthe govt wasting money, but you're only fixating on one thing? Hypocrite. "

I'm trying to stick to the core of this video. I would say that wasting money on war (involving life and death) is different than "wasting" it on healthcare of our own citizens.

"you are basically saying might makes right"

--No, I was answering your question about the Constitution. Is this how you debate?

"does not make it right when we do"

--You make it sound like we do it as a first choice.

"You're avoiding the question"

--No, I'm offereing perspective. You're original question is on the level of "are you still beating your wife?"

"your reaction is silly"

--Ridiculous. You're asking aboutthe govt wasting money, but you're only fixating on one thing? Hypocrite.

>he is Cmdr of the military, and foreign policy is in his hands as we all accept.

Again, you are basically saying might makes right. Just because we can invade and occupy others does not make it right when we do.

>For what item of foreign policy would you?

You're avoiding the question.

>What isn't free?

You're avoiding the question.

>And it doesn't waste money on other bullshit, only this?

You can't speak to this point, so your reaction is silly. You're not saying anything.

"Where in our Constitution does it say?

--Probably the same place you'll find the mandate for government-run healthcare. But he is Cmdr of the military, and foreign policy is in his hands as we all accept.

"Would you give a limb or your life to it?"

--For what item of foreign policy would you?

"it's not free"

--What isn't free?

"Our nation is going broke to "make friends" as you say"

--And it doesn't waste money on other bullshit, only this? That's a first! And only I say? Really?

[AZPEACEdotORG]

Where in our Constitution does it say we are to spread democracy or nation build?

By the way, how strongly do you really feel about the occupations? Would you give a limb or your life to it?

By the way, it's not free. Our nation is going broke to "make friends" as you say.
