i think i hear a voice out there in the wind, at least the friends that i have that are democrats arent ashamed to call themselves that, lol,dt
Who's ashamed to call themselves a Democrat? Up until the Primaries in Ohio I was a registered Republican. I had to declare to vote in the Democratic primary, so now I can proudly say I'm a Democrat at the moment. But unlike you...I don't put much stock in my political affiliation. I'll shift back when I feel it's necessary. I'm an independent, a free bird willing to call each side on their blunders and vote the bums out. If you want to label me, don't label me so much a Democrat or a Republican...label me a Christian. No party owns me...I'm not even of this world.

We agree on our sentiments for "Rummy". In fact, OIF has been based on deception from the beginning! We never had to lie to go into Iraq! When they shot at American aircraft patrolling the no fly zone, that was an act of war and reason enough to invade.
I am glad we are in Iraq. it is in America's best interest to have a strong presence in the Middle East and Iraq was the doorway that we bust through to accomplish that. It was the way we did it I find very dishonest. It is my hunch that there is a bigger reason, a bigger man-oriented plan in affect over there and we will not see it to fruition for another 20 years.
When things go well, we give GWB the kudos-- but they haven't gone as well as they could have gone, so we are willing to look the other way. You will be hard pressed to find any Republican willing to hold GWB accountable for the mistakes of OIF and OEF-- but the buck stops with him.
We do not focus enough energy, resources, manpower on Afghanistan-- the clearer American enemy and threat! Iraq has become more of an enemy-- but only since our invasion.
If good financial times were happening right now, we'd find a way to connect it to the Republicans and GWB, but since that is not the case, we try to look the other way.
By the way, do you honestly think that the money being spent on OIF and OEF would be spent on education, healthcare, crumbling infrastructure, or research for alternative fuels if those two wars were not happening? I can assure you, "NO" those dollars would have never been INVESTED on those issues because these issues are not important to GWB or to many of his coffers.
When it comes to accountability, mayor of New Orleans, Gov of LA, FEMA and ultimately, GWB, let down AMERICANS with their inadequate response to hurricane Katrina. Thousands of AMERICANS are still suffering because of that. Of course, the insurance companies did not have to pay out thousands of dollars to the AMERICANS who had paid faithfully on their policies for years!
The fact that there hasn't been another attack on the U.S is a good thing to bring up. Kudos for GWB for that-- but if Gore had been elected when 911 happened and if nothing else happened after that, would we be willing to think the Democrat Gore really had something to do with it?
GWB happened to be Pres when it happened and I am grateful to God that there hasn't been another attack. However, attaching GWB to the lack of a terrorist attack is similar to that former NY mayor trying to find national credibility for his "role" in responding to and "preventing" another attack on NY. That former mayor is a loser of the worst sorts! I won't type his name, I won't defile my computer keyboard!!!
Truth is, our society is too open to really thwart another attack of great magnitude if the attackers are determined.
If I have to choose between freedom and legislation to protect security, I choose freedom. I am not sure that is the idea of this administration.
If I think long enough, I can come up with more stuff to complain about this admin, and that is vain. The truth is, I am going to do what I got to do, whether or whoever is elected.
It's just the Repubs. will be hard pressed to get my vote so blindly, ever again. I mean, I really bought in to the "Christian Right's" portrayal of GWB. He could do no wrong, but indeed he has and his bad decisions have cost lives and fortunes while oil companies are more profitable now than ever before!
The economy and the dollar were on the downward slide before the foreclosure crisis. The predatory lending practices of many banks only exacerbated a bad situation. Thanks GWB!!!
this is a very long post. I dont have the energy to respond point by point.
I dont even have the energy to read the whole thing.
suffice it to say, I disagree.
PS, dont listen to Moveon.org. according to them GWB eats babies too.
