President Bush told me Iraq had WMD. I refused to believe him. That makes me a liberal traitor.

President Bush told me there was no difference between Saddam and al Qaeda. I refused to believe him. That makes me a liberal traitor.

President Bush told me the world would support his invasion of Iraq. I refused to believe him. That makes me a liberal traitor.

President Bush told me we would be greeted as liberators. I refused to believe him. That makes me a liberal traitor.

How come the liberal traitors are always right, and President Bush is always wrong?

Republicans today, amazingly, attack...higher education and the schools (too liberal), the media (too liberal), taxes (too liberal), science (too liberal), gosh, it would seem Republicans today simply attack anything, and frankly, isn't that too easy?

Has he lost his nerve because of his Iraq debacle? There has been clear evidence now for months that Iran is supporting the insurgents in Iraq especially with IEDs that have killed more US troops than anything else during the Iraq war.

So is Iran part of the Bush's self proclaimed "Axis of Evil" or not & why does he let Iran kill US troops & build WMDs? Has Bush become an Iran "appeaser"?

Nearly 1 in 5 Democrats Say World Will Be Better Off if U.S. Loses War

Get the PDF of the poll. This is one of the questions: Do you personally think the world would be better off if the United States loses the war in Iraq?

A full 39% of Democrats either say YES or DON'T KNOW

So WHEN can we call you traitors? Not yet? Do we have to wait until it's 45% maybe 60%?

Truly a party in moral decline.

Though I am a conservative, I like to listen to both sides but haven't been able to find an outlet on the left that compares. I listened to Air America when it first started but it just didn't keep my attention primarily because the depth of analysis was lacking. Someone who digs into the core of issues and has ideas that take history into account. . .

(And please, don't assume that my point is to prove that there IS no one . . . my question is just that . . . a question) Thanks!

And that means bringing the troops home from Iraq.

Not ONE Democrat said they would bring troops home from Iraq by 2013.

Yet they have no problem asking people to vote for them because of their position on the war.

The only answer is: just don't vote.

Bush who holds the record for most executions presided over by an american governor (of U.S. citizens), and who is notorious for loving the death penalty....now makes a complete reversal..when it comes to a mexican who murdered americans. Just more proof Bush hates americans.

I'm having trouble figuring out what makes Limbaugh an authority to be listened to regarding politics and national security. I could understand if he had worked as a soldier in the U.S. Army, or if he had held a political office, or if he at least had an advanced education in political science and national security. But the only thing I know he's done is worked in radio. Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between Rush Limbaugh and any other average joe from off the street, as far as discussing important political policy is concerned? Why do people listen to him and believe him? Are there really that many suggestible people in the world?

I hear this over and over. "We are in Iraq to protect our freedom" The only reason war is ever justified is we are directly attact by another country and I don't recall Iraq attacking us.

Like:
1. Limbaugh. He is not only a sincere conservative, but he is articulate, thorough, polite to his callers, and intellectually stimulating. I agree with MOST of what he says, and I always respect what he has to say.
2. Scarborough: He gives me the factual "fuel" I need to carry on a discussion or debate about political matters with liberals and conservatives alike. Some conservatives think he's a hack who has switched bases; I think he speaks his heart and still believes in the fundamentals of social and economic conservatism.

Okay:
1. Hannity: I used to like him, but anymore, he just repeats the same defense of Mitt or Rudy or the same arguments against Hillary or Obama 3,000,000 times a show. This stuff IS important, I'll grant, but try highlighting some of the positives in the current conservative movement. His interview style can be rude.

Don't like:
1. Savage. He's a jerk.
2. Ingraham: That Connecticut accent of hers almost nauseates this Southerner.

Or will we simply have the lowest voter turnout in history, as cynical Americans turn away from a "democratic process" that gives us a "choice" between two largely-identical candidates.

Political Liberalism is not Philosophical Liberalism.
The latter is true Liberalism (which everybody seems to ignore, even liberals). It's based on a few key ideas, mainly accepting personal error and being open minded.

It has nothing to do with socialism or taxes. Nothing. Political liberals may be for socialism, but that's not because of the theory behind Liberalism. And yet somebody will still get it wrong here.

So why? What's the justification?

They constantly howl about the cost of war, of the military.
They ask where the sacrifice is for the citizen in a time of war and then demand socialized medicine. Where is the sacrifice? It is our future and our freedom and they are stretched upon the alter of of power, the high priestess of Fascism holds the knife called socialism prepared to cut out our heart.

No wonder people get addicted to y/a. I've been perplexed, lmao, terrified, sad and joyful reading QA's. Some people push their opinion about some thing, and they keep posting same boring questions over and over ! While some answers have no use except earning points?!This one slick member of the family, quickly blocks the answers he doesn't like, so you won't be able to see your answer, or post one for smart a*s, by doing so he is creating a net work of fan's that will never challenge him? wasn't Saddam doing the same thing eliminating all opponents? Cheating to get points, well i guess it runs in his family?
One of the top contributors, has 52% best answers but she is completely blocked and u can send a message either.Some times i want to scream, when this gifted character post some totally stupid and way off comment, and there is nothing i can do just forget about it?
Finally this one guy thinks we should bomb Mecca to retaliate terrorists??!! and he is very serious about it?? May be he thinks Mecca is like Pentagon for terrorist?? lmao

While you're singing about global warming from the liberal book of praise, do not forget the canticle that yields unto Bill all the glory he deserves.

"Mr. Clinton, thank you. Thank you for caring more about your reputation down at that building in Turtle Bay than America's security. Al Qaeda also gives it's gratitude."
