Video: Rep. Kanjorski Admits that Party Used War to Win Election

Pennsylvania Rep. Paul Kanjorski has attracted some Internet attention with the release of the video below where he appears to admit that the Republicans played up the war for political purposes.

In the video, Kanjorski states: “That if we won the Congressional elections, we could stop the war. Now anybody was a good student of Government would know that wasn’t true. But you know, the temptation to want to win back the Congress, we sort of stretched the facts…and people ate it up.”

There are certainly points to be given here for honesty. However, since we have lost thousands of peoples and hundreds of billions of dollars, it is a bit pricey to guarantee employment for a ruling elite.
