| Mo. candidates debate Foley, Iraq war |
| 2006-10-09 |
 Candidates in Missouri's hotly contested Senate race clashed Sunday over the congressional page sex scandal and the war in Iraq, with the Democratic challenger saying House Speaker Dennis Hastert should quit. Missouri state auditor Claire McCaskill said Hastert, R-Ill., and other GOP leaders failed to properly investigate when they first learned of former Rep. Mark Foley's e-mails to congressional pages. |

| #1 I think I heard this on the radio this morning. Not sure why I was getting it. But I listened to about 5 minutes of it. She sounded green behind the ears and did not speak well at all. He was smooth. She stuck to the liberal party platform: Blame Republicans and say Dems can do it better without ever saying how. Her solution to Iraq. Tell the terrorists we'd be out in 2 years and in the mean time, train the Iraqi people to do it themselves. I guess she didn't get the memo that they were being trained already - or maybe she thought her potential voters would be too stupid to know that. She then gave an example of how we'd have to be out of there before Thanksgiving or this war will have lasted longer than WWII. He didn't get a chance to respond to that while I was listening but, lol! I guess when you are going after the ignorant voters, you can make any statement you want and not have to worry about those pesky facts. |
