Sestak BETRAYS The Democratic Party

[carolbrenner]

Mere days prior to the hotly contested election, and this man was joining the Republican chorus on Benghazi. Since then, he's voiced even more criticisms. With friends like this, who needs enemies?

1. Do you have a link and showing a reason for your accusation?

[Sekhmets Daughter]

30. He was on MSNBC

doing his thing a little while ago.

[elleng]

37. On which show?

[Sekhmets Daughter]

40. Sorry...they all run together when I'm on DU

It may have been Rev. Al's show.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

42. He was on Chris Hayes saying this about Behghazi:

SESTAK: ... there`s more than enough evidence to say that this -- the
administration did not handle this well. When you have a request come in
for more security, whether it would have made a difference or not, after
the U.N. office, the Red Cross office, the British ambassador had all been
attacked (INAUDIBLE) embassy, a hole had been blown in the wall of that
compound or consulate earlier -- there should be accountability,
responsibility by this administration on that.

On the second issue, I think when Representative Thornberry, a
Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, actually says, You know,
what the intelligence community was telling us, General Petraeus, is
exactly what the administration was putting out to the public -- people
tend to forget.

I worked in the National Security Council, headed Deep Blue,
(INAUDIBLE) antiterrorism unit -- that there are no one-armed intelligence
officers. They`re always saying, On the one hand, but on the other hand...

(CROSSTALK)

SESTAK: The issue is this. It`s hard to (INAUDIBLE) assertion of
conspiracy or anything or to say the policy`s unraveling because
intelligence agencies maybe didn`t have it right. There is no assertion
that can be made of conspiracy by these professionals. That`s what`s
missing in this piece. General Petraeus misrepresenting something? No
way.

60. Thanks...

I knew I had seen him somewhere...

[Panasonic]

2. Fuck him.

He's only one rep.

Another Democratic rep will replace him in a primary.

In 2014.

[elleng]

4. He is not sitting now.

He served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for two terms, from Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district from 2007 to 2011.

[BrianCampenni]

14. Thankfully,he's not sitting now.

He didn't do much for our district. He cost us both the PA District 7 House seat and the PA Senate seat.

Good riddance!

[brentspeak]

51. Another new "concerned" forum member pitching in to divide DU against Sestak

What a coincidence! Did you just have dinner with Rove?

[BrianCampenni]

16. Good.

Hopefully a real democrat - and not a completely self-absorbed self-serving person like him.

[ann---]

3. I never liked him

when I lived in PA, I didn't vote for him.

[BrianCampenni]

12. Me neither

I never voted for him either. I knew someone who worked for his campaign a while. He was mean and verbally abusive. I was also told that he paid pretty little and demanded long hours for it.

[BrianCampenni]

5. He's a DINO!

www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2952649/posts

I agree. Sestak has been attacking President Obama on several issues lately. He's a Dem in name only.

[hrmjustin]

8. Welcome to DU!

[babylonsister]

22. You have GOT to be kidding me! That's where you got your

info from?

[julian09]

27. Obama didn't support Sestak when he was running for SENATE, but Spector.

could be payback.

[DonViejo]

33. That's your source?...

Comments at the Free Republic?

[EmeraldCityGrl]

39. Welcome! Please listen to an excerpt from Obama's speech last night.

This is very interesting and raises questions as to whether the President's direct
orders may have not been followed.

Did anyone hear Obama's speech in Yangon, Myanmar last night? Listen to his remarks
at the 10:15 point on the video. They struck me last night when I heard his speech live
and this post brings them to mind again. The speech itself was great.

[cthulu2016]

6. A concerning allegation indeed

[msanthrope]

7. Should we keep it? nt

[babylonsister]

19. Bwhahaha! I vote no, for the link alone! nt

[BrianCampenni]

10. Read the link

Sestak attacked Obama on several topics in the days immediately prior to the election. WHY?!?! Remember...in 2010 he accused Obama of "offering him a job." He made that up.

[msanthrope]

11. Your concern is noted. Please feel free to share more of your concerns, and enjoy your stay. nt

[riverbendviewgal]

29. I second that.

Two new from today!!!!! How long are they staying, I wonder.

[uppityperson]

44. Why should I go to a rabid rw site for information?

[carolbrenner]

15. Indeed

"We need to have a thorough and quick investigation on this," Sestak asserted, and yet "we're not getting it." Republican talking points.

[gollygee]

36. Well thank you so much for posting their talking points here!

I'm sure we'd never hear them otherwise.

[brentspeak]

52. You nailed it

[Fumesucker]

9. I'm not sure it's possible to "betray" the Democratic party

That would imply the party has standards to which party members are expected to hew.

[carolbrenner]

13. Sestak Keeps Stabbing Us In The Back

"This hasn't been the most commanding of performances," Sestak asserted, commenting on the Obama Administration's response to the Benghazi attack. This guy - who tried to screw the President in 2010 - must be on the GOP's payroll!

[gollygee]

17. Wow! What else does he say?

ROFL

Thanks for your concern.

[Indykatie]

18. I Too Have Problems with Sestak But This Comment is Not That Obnoxious n/t

[elleng]

20. Please provide links to your quotations and assertions.

[HappyMe]

21. Oh no!

Whatever will we do??!

[dmr]

23. Is there a credible link to this allegation? n/t

[HappyMe]

26. I'm not wading into

that cesspool.

[mercuryblues]

28. No it doesn't work

freepers as a source? Go read the rules.

[gollygee]

31. You must have missed the word "credible"

LOL

[BrianCampenni]

32. Thanks for the link!

"Why wasn't there a military response?" (Sestak)

Why did he ask such a ridiculous question. Shouldn't we find out who did this first before responding militarily?

[elleng]

38. Not considered a credible source at DU.

Try again, please, and welcome.

[elleng]

55. No.

[carolbrenner]

24. Three-Star Republican

"There are questions the administration needs to answer," Sestak insisted. "If there is stonewalling, its not right," he clamored. This guy is making Rove and his ilk look good!

[Enrique]

34. what does the Democratic Party have to do with it? n/t

[BrianCampenni]

35. Indeed

He's not well-liked among the PA Dems - and with good reason.

[Egalitarian Thug]

41. Or enemas. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

43. Why Should I Give A Rat's Ass What Joe Sestak Thinks/nt

[spanone]

45. he's a mere confused citizen now, bless his heart

[JVS]

46. I'd like to welcome the two new DUers in this thread who joined within an hour of each other...

today and post links to Free Republic. You guys are going to love it here.

[jberryhill]

47. Seriously - this is a stinking pile of freeper turd here

Both signed up today to tell us about important developments at FR?

Good golly how fucking dumb do they think we are?

[brentspeak]

53. I noticed the pattern too

Rove and Co. are getting an early start for 2014.

[arthritisR_US]

56. Yep, somebody left the damn asylum gate open again!

[ProgressiveProfessor]

48. Sestak is an asshat, regardless of which party he supports this week

Insufferable in and out of uniform. I have direct and personal knowledge of this, has nothing to do with politics.

[SoCalDem]

49. Sestak & Webb were both a couple of odd ones.. I'll not miss either of them

Now if they would just go on their merry ways and stfu

[brentspeak]

50. New member attempting to divide the forums

by pitting Democrat against Democrat.

This was Sestak's "betrayal" of the Democratic party:

http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2012/10/31/opinion/doc509095611a581617002967.txt

If you have serious questions about what happened in Benghazi on Sept. 11, you are not alone. Former admiral, congressman and Democrat Joe Sestak has questions, too.

“There are questions the administration needs to answer,” Sestak said Monday morning as Hurricane Sandy rolled into Delco. “Put politics aside, something did go wrong.”

snip

Sestak is no novice when it comes to these matters. He worked with the National Security Council in the Clinton White House and was a chief strategist for “Deep Blue,” the Navy’s anti-terrorism unit.

An anti-terrorism expert, one who might be running as the Democratic candidate for PA governor in 2014, raises obvious questions concerning the matter, and a new "concerned" forum member attempts to rile up DU members against him.

There's an old political strategy for this sort of thing: it's called "divide-and-conquer".

[arthritisR_US]

54. Shhh, play nice now ;) Remember, we are supposed to roll over

and play stupid. Unlike them, we have to play at stupid

[elleng]

57. Right, and we could live without it.

Thanks.

[riverbendviewgal]

58. Let's not let this newcomer divide us

I suspected the same as you.

[MADem]

59. Tip the pizza delivery guy. nt

[LAGC]

61. Hope you enjoyed your short stay.
