GOP tweets pre and post Bergdahl release paint trail of Hypocrisy

[CaféAuLait]

McCain, other Republicans called for Obama to get Bergdahl's release, then condemned it

In the clearest contradiction, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in February that he “would be inclined to support” “an exchange of prisoners for our American fighting man,” like the one Taliban officials had offered in 2012. He has since labeled Obama’s deal “ill-founded” and a “mistake.” [...]

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) — the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee — has also said that the U.S. “must make every effort to bring this captured soldier home to his family.” But appearing on Fox News just days after Bergdahl’s release, Inhofe criticized the administration for agreeing to free “people who have killed Americans, people who are the brain power of Taliban.”

Politicians Scramble to Delete Pro-Bergdahl Tweets as Backlash Grows

You got to be a blind Hack to miss the incredible Hypocrisy the GOP is showing here. But as usual, the GOP will overplay its hand and give Obama another victory. The GOP giving us all good reason to believe that possessing two faces in necessary for anyone who wants to be a Republican. This really is indefensible.

Now they are desperately deleting those old tweets. Technology bites their ars once gain...

Oh, and the rules of war would be releasing these dangerous terrorist from Guantanamo about the same time as they will be released from house arrest.

I have heard this end of war claim a lot now someone by all means correct me if I have this wrong but for a war to end doesn't one side have to surrender or you have to have a negotiated end to the fighting? In regards to the Taliban/Al-Qaeda have we had that? If not I'm not sure where people are getting this end of war stuff from.

Is it possible that the radical left doesn't know what the word hypocrisy means? Here's an example: the federal government arrests a bird watcher for picking up a dead hawk while it gives the wind industry a 30 year permit to kill eagles and condors.

The bird watcher SHOULD NOT be arrested. Now....tell me about my hypocrisy. I'm listening.

Presidents down through the years have made prisoner exchanges for free soldiers at the end of a war. It is their responsibility. If he deserted, he should be court marshaled. That is not the issue.

The GOP was quick, as the tweets illustrate, to critisize Obama when this guy was being held prisoner. Now that he has been freed using the same method that John McCainwas freed after the Vienam war, the GOP turned their heads and uses their other face to critisize Obama for making this deal to free the very same person that they had said:

The definition of Hypocrite should include this quote.

Man, are you easily led by the nose! The whole "end of the war" thing is simply the excuse that the Obama White House came up with to explain why they just released 5 high level terrorists who will be back plotting to kill Americans as soon as their jet lands in Quatar. This war isn't coming to an end because Barry SAYS it is! That's so naive it's scary that anyone, let alone our President, actually believes that.

Those pesky facts getting in your way again, huh?

And what's got lost is that the whole Great Terrorist Giveaway was orchestrated entirely to take the heat off Benghzai!

LOL...oh, so now it's a "fact" that the war is ending? Why...because Barry SAYS that it is? He's going to pull US troops out and the Taliban are going to immediately start retaking Afghanistan. My prediction is that they will be running 80% of the country within a year...just in time for those five high level leaders that Obama traded for Sgt. Buttercup to come back and start doing what they do best...spread terror. So all those Americans who died fighting the Taliban? Their deaths went for nothing because we have a President who believes he can "reason" with the people who want to destroy the West.
