Republicans: Would you rather have our president lie about a bj or lie about why we should goto war?

Question

Wasn't the war based on weapons of mass destruction and aren't there no weapons of mass destruction? That is a fact not kool-aid, stop listening to talk radio and think for yourself son...

Wow, how do you conservatives maintain this level of ignorance. I do like your answers though, just blanket statements with no explanation. I expect to see some Bible quotes forthcoming. You do know that you don't have to believe everything your party tells you. You can actually form your own opinions and form a reasonable basis for those opinions and then debate them with others in the interests of getting to the truth.

And no, no president (or politician) should lie, but it is ludicrous to equate the impact of a lie about a bj to the act of invading another country.

Ummm Hey Genius Chris S., Iraq clearly had and pursued WMD's. There is incontrovertible proof of this as he used them on the Kurds in 1988.

You show a fundamental misunderstanding of history colored by your ridiculous biases and small penis. When Iraq was bombed in 1998 it had already begun destroying it's own stockpiles of WMD's, while that may have been a hard assertion to believe at the time, it seems more believable with the evidence at hand now.

Either way, the 1998 bombing was a response to continued provocations by Iraq in refusing access by UN inspectors. The bombing, in light of recent events, appears to have been successful in destroying Iraq's WMD infrastructure.

Given Saddam's history the assertion that he no longer pursues WMD does seem dubious at best but certainly is no justification for a war.

Note that IAEA inspectors also reported no WMD's prior to the invasion.

Answer 1

I'd rather have a president that lied about his sex life. It's none of our business what goes on in a presidents sex life but we have EVERY right to know why we are at war.

Answer 2

Cute. This question would be relevant if the war was based on a lie. Lay off the Kool-Aid, son - it's bad for ya.

Ugh. Do we have to explain this to you again? Pay attention and you might learn something this time.

When Clinton bombed Iraq back in 1998 - you know, at the same time (by pure coincidence, I'm sure) that Monica Lewinsky was testifying before the grand jury about that BJ - what was his justification? That's right, Spanky - WMDs. When he said that, much of the world, including France, Britain, the UN, and several Democratic senators, supported it and provided their own intelligence that said the same thing. So tell me, O imbiber of the blue Kool-Aid, did THEY all lie? And if so, why aren't you holding THEIR feet to the fire over it?

It comes down to one of two things: Either there really WERE WMDs there, which either haven't been found yet or were moved, or all that intelligence was faulty. The WMD justification was used based on that intelligence, which was believed (by all parties listed above) to be accurate. A lie is a statement that the speaker KNOWS is false. Look it up if you don't get it: www.dictionary.com

Oh, and for those who say that nobody died when Clinton lied: It's a cute bumper sticker. Why don't you put it on your car, drive around Bosnia and Kosovo for a while, and see what they think of it?

P.S. Nice left-wing link there. You say you don't drink the Kool-Aid, then you give NPR as a source. I found that quite amusing. The only difference between Air America and NPR is that Air America at least used their own money. Here's a link for YOU to chew on:

I also appreciated the penis comment. Feeling a bit insecure, are we? Hey, I understand that you feel a combination of lust and envy when you contemplate my package, and I also understand why. However, I have to disappoint you by telling you that you're not getting any, because I'm straight, meaning I don't swing that way.

Answer 3

Are all you righties serious? There is NO excuse for a President who wasn't even legally elected in the first place (the Sup Ct has absolutely no authority for deciding a national general election) to be incompetent! President Clinton was the president that left office with a surplus that could actually help many people in this country and the only thing the GOP cares about is whether gays should get married or not - COME ON!! Maybe if Bush was getting a BJ he would make better decisions!

Answer 4

Lying about sexual relations is much more harmless than lying about national security issues. There were no WMD in Iraq(Although the U.S. possesses WMD, and has used them), no link between Iraq and Al Quada, not one single American killed by an Iraqi. Actually, maybe we should have attacked Saudi Arabia after 911, most of the highjackers were Saudi.
The Bush regime used the same type of propaganda used by Hitler´s regime prior to invading Poland, sparking WWII. It seemed to obvious that it was all fabricated (Moblie Biological Units!), anyone that opposed the war was in jeopardy(Plame, NAACP).
The Bush regime put our sons, daughters, brothers and sisters in harm´s way. Our founding fathers are turning in their graves because of the unprovoked against another country and the near complete degradation of the civil rights that our forefathers fought and died for. Support our troops, bring them home!

Answer 5

I haven't looked at the answers to your question yet but I will bet you that all of the right wing ranters are saying

1. Your a Liberal idiot

2. GWB didn't lie

3. Clinton is a SINNER

4. all the other ranting I forgot

The truth is, as all of us annoying Liberals say ,When Clinton lied nobody died. And boy they hate that little bit of truth don't they??

for Lynne Sorry no WMD's they were rusted and old in fact the ones we gave him in the 80's

And GWB lied when he trimmed his reports to say what he wanted and he has admitted he lied-- come on people!!!

Answer 6

Lying about a blow in order to deny someone their civil rights is not forgivable. I've forgiven President Johnson for his lies used to get into the vietnam war, but they were pretty blatant too.

The answer is I'd rather not have a President lie at all, why was this directed at Republicans???

Answer 7

I thought Clinton lied about a cigar?

Oh, while you can argue about whether or not Bush lied about the war (as did most Democrats, which I was reminded of by a tape I did way back in the Clinton years!), he never testified about it before a grand jury.

One more thing: "Bush lied about the war" is as cliche as cliche gets. It just doesn't work because it is entirely lacking in specifics. Strange how it is vacuous, as are most on the left who try to elocute on this subject.

Answer 8

why do you bother-- you'll never get republicans to accept that Bush mislead (read lied) about going to war and changed the reasons for doing so every time the last one is proven wrong.

Clinton did lie....

Net-- I don't want my President to lie about anything. Of course, then we'd another Jimmy Carter and that wouldn't do either.

Answer 9

I would rather have a President NOT lie. I would rather have a President do their job than have sex in their office during work hours (or at least extend that privilege, without fear of firing, to all working men and women).

Answer 10

If that would have been the only issue there would not have been a problem. That was only one of many many many problems. Remember Jennifer Flowers for starters.
Interesting reading, grab something to drink its rather lengthy.
