The military plan to invade Iraq was inspired in conception and proved to be brilliant in execution. The civilian plan for holding and occupying Iraq has proven to be a tremendous failure. It shows a squandering of a victory that, I think, is hard to comprehend - so great is the magnitude.

I believe there is no greater example of the absolute inept nature of the Bush administration than talk of some sort of military option for dealing with Iran before figuring their way out of Iraq.

If having this viewpoint makes me a liberal I will live with that title.

I believe we have the finest armed forces any country in history has enjoyed. We, as a country, owe them better. Sending them into Iraq to take care of Saddam was like sending a team of Lipizzaner stallions to drag a broken down cart filled with rotten manure out of a filthy slum.

Using half-baked theories about what Saddam might have done had we not invaded is wrong. It is like using the comely nature of Ms. Lewinsky’s lips to explain the mistake that lead to impeachment hearings that proceeded the ones they are talking about for Mr. Bush. Although in that case we were talking about a ruined dress. In this one, a ruined country.

Look back at the original post that started this thread and you will see this basis of the Liberal platform in America today: misunderstood. misintrepreted facts that degenerate to the true "I hate Bush Agenda". As bad as he may be he is better than anything they have had to offer (according to the electoral process).

And I should add "misrepresented" facts (to put it nicely).

Hate to break it to you bub, but it is a trait we libs have.. its called independant thought. You should try it sometime.

Staying the course is dandy, but when the wind shifts, and the tide changes, the ship will surely run aground

What pray tell narcotics are you on boy?

I didn't even know there was a "liberal platform" to be honest. Are the liberals running for something?

Certainly there are liberal ideals and the vast majority of self described Conservatives I know even admit to holding a few.

The attack on Bush isn't about the man, it's about the arrogant and incompetent policy. Always has been...and it's gotten so bad that even his own people are turning en masse.

A bag of rotten carrots could manage this country better than the current crew in the Oval Office. And you think they got there by accurately representing the facts and issues?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I'm an independant



btw, nebe, I do believe there already was some national debt before W took office, so ya can't blame him for all 9 trillion dollars

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Well maybe if you had nominated a candidate that at least matched the standard of a rotten bag of carrots you could control the House and Senate and Whitehouse and advance the Liberal Agenda that you dont think exists. Want to change the country? Win an election. Whining is not an effective politcal strategy.

Kerry's problem wasn't a lack of substance, it was an inability to counter all the slime being thrown from the GOP. I know many Conservative Bush voters who thought Kerry probably would have made a very competent President.
