From Abu Ghraib to the darling of progressives?

[dapoes]

Remember Abu Ghraib?

The scandal that the Left used to demand the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and to paint the entire Bush administration as torturers?

You know, the one where the ACLU found memos from the commanding general that authorized the use of dogs in interrogations of prisoners held there, which the Left went bonkers over?

Guess who the Democrats have apparently picked to run for the open US Senate seat in Texas:

Democrats appear to have recruited retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez to run for the U.S. Senate in Texas, setting the stage for a potentially competitive race in 2012 for the seat of retiring Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Former Texas Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes confirmed that Washington Sen. Patty Murray, the head of the Democratic Senate campaign committee, was referring to Sanchez Thursday when she said that Democrats were very close to announcing a candidate in Texas.

Sanchez, reached by phone at his San Antonio home, said, “I can neither confirm nor deny.”

This isn’t just a case of allowing Sanchez to retire in honorable peace after a slew of vicious allegations about the integrity of everyone in that chain of command; they’re now endorsing him for further public service. :blink:

Dapoes,

You are looking at it all wrong. This is good news. The best way to expose the Progressive/Liberal hypocrisy is to shine the light on it through the electoral process.

Think of the TX senate race as a court trial with the entire voting population testing the evidence and deciding who the most trustworthy and credible witnesses are.

Yep, for sure!
