example: democrats say, This war was ill conceived?

NEGATIVE
1. Most voted for it, then constantly complain about it.
2. Democrats have undermined our troops repeatedly through lying about WMD's (which were found)
I can go on and on about Democrats. They are critical, yet offer no alternatives. In the business world, they would be fired.

This is a good, tough question. With Democrats saying the war was a bad idea and all these men and women over in Iraq and elsewhere hearing this they may begin to believe they are in a bad war. That said the Democrats are the ones who want these men and women back in the USA for the most part so in a way they are the most supportive of these troops because they don't want them to die. So I would say it is overall negative for the troops, but the Democrats care more about the troops health and safety than Republicans.

They was standing and applauding with the Republicans after 9/11. They are having neither because they are disagreeing with each other. Of course and if a Democrat had been in office the Republicans would be saying the same. This war was ill conceived. It is all politics, has nothing to do with human lives. Just politics.

Not really. Being the minority party in Congress, they're not having much effect whatsoever.
Saying the war is ill conceived is an opinion. One shared by (at last poll) about 40% of the US population. Not all of those are Democrats.
And we still live (for the moment) in a country where we're both entitled and expected to express our opinions. That's how a representative government is supposed to work.

Most democrats are having a negative impact. They were mostly gung-ho right after 9/11/01, but since have became very wishy-washy on most things that matter concerning the way the administration and congress has gone.

Not all Democrats but a few well known ones like Kennedy, Al Gore, John Kerry and a few celebrities like Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, etc. are hurting our troops.

demorcrats want us to simply say, "Hey guys! Since you guys seem REALLY persistent with you whole 'destroy the infidel" thingy, were just going to run screaming from iraq and just sort of leave u there." that doesnt seem very benificial to me. last time we did that they crashed a couple of jets into the trade centers. crisis brings out the patriots, and war brings out the politicians.

POSITIVE
The US is focusing on Iraq WHICH HAS LITTLE TO NOTHING TO DO WITH TERROR
DEMOCRATS ACTUALLY WANT TO START FIGHTING IT... WHY ARE REPUBLICANS SCARED TO ACTUALLY FIGHT THOSE WITH MAJOR TERROR LINKS LIKE PAKISTAN, SAUDI OR SUDAN?
Do any Republicans know anything about those that attacked us? or have any of you read the 9-11 report?

They're trying to have a positive, but the Republicans won't let them.
