Why can't republicans come up with recent things to whine about instead of things that happened years ago?

Question

For example, Byrd in the KKK and Bill & Monica.

Is that where the term beating a dead horse comes from?

Oh, my bad. I thought 9/11 was bad. Oops. I guess the same could be said about thousands of troops dying for nothing. Thank you for enlightening me, jm.

bob t-Yale undergrad and Stanford MBA here. Now you have.

Answer 1

You know, we Republicans could say the same thing. The liberals, or as I like to call them, the Socialist Party of America, likes to bring up Vietnam everytime we turn around. Or like your "Got oil?" picture. If he was after oil, do you think prices would be so high right now? He would be shipping it out of there so fast, it would make their heads spin. No. All the Socialists can say is that we are after oil? What about the thousands who died under Hussien's rigime? And now they are trying to dig up dirt on our military members caught in the middle of a firefight after their vihicle blew up and their buddy they went through basic is dead, roasting in the burning vehicle they had to get out of, and you want to whine about them killing a few civilians who unexpectedly charged into the middle of it? You put yourself in the middle of all that, and then tell me about it. War is Hel#, and if your gonna win, you have to be willing to take the risk to stay alive. If all you can offer our troops is slander about our Commander in Cheif, think about how moral of the troops is. And Byrd? KKK? True, but he's one of the Socialist heroes. And Bill? He lied to the nation. He lost all trust. Has bush flat out lied? No. He has acted on what the security council has told him. You put yourself in that chair, and listen to a board of directors, military men, and other people, and the only thing you know is what they are feeding you, and when their stories match up, thats what you have to go on. Also think about what is good for the people, not only of your party, not only of your country, but the good of the world community. So, "Dead horse"? The liberals do the same thing, comparing this war to Vietnam. And other instances. Here's why Vietnam fell apart. The nation lost all faith in the troops. The troops heard this and their moral took a plumet. They lost all will to fight. But I still beleive. God Bless America and Her Troops!! Thank you.

Answer 2

Maybe because folks like you would rewrite history. The problem is you ignore it, and your party continues to run on the same ideas election after election and loses. Why not try some positive outreach to get people to join you. Your party moves left forgetting the middle. Why not offer sensible alternatives.You are not and I doubt you ever will
based on your Tenor. Have you ever opposed your leadership? I have with mine. I remember history well and look to the future in a positive manner. History is written to the benefit of the winners. In my opinion will you just be an asterisk or are you going to do something?

Answer 3

Nothing bad has happened since Bill left office.

Betcha didn't see that one coming.

YEP, I knew you wouldn't be able to let that go. Your question isn't serious so neither was my answer. Relax. And Jim W, "hatemonger"? Have you failed to notice the pointed nature of this very question posted here? I think YEP is victimizing me with a hate crime. I'd better call the ACLU.

Answer 4

I didn't know we were trying to whine.

I was under the impression the country is being run pretty good right now.

Isn't it the liberals job to whine? Speaking of which, are they still using that tired old, whiny argument 'war for oil', and 'bush lied', even though they have been disproved?

Answer 5

Hell they still bring up Ted Kennedy's accident 40 years later. I think what we got here is we are dealing with pond scum, you know one celled animals with no brain. They still buy we went into Iraq because of the WMD'S. I think the ones that are left are probably the more mentally diminished of the American people. That has to be the explanation.

Answer 6

Cause thats all they got. Isn't it funny? Their choice is going into the toilet and it's "Oh look what Clinton did" Clinton got slapped for what he did, get over it. It going to be along time before this country and others get over the damage that little twerp in Washington has done.

Answer 7

Because they have NOTHING to argue FOR, so they have to speak against LONG PASSED issues as a defense mechanism. It's funny really, seeing them talk about Bill and Monica as if it was current. You never hear them talk about the quagmire or deficit or increased terrorism because they can't admit it to themselves, they are HYPOCRITES!

Answer 8

You have to understand history.
