How can the republican Party be more hypocritical?

Question

Here it is: a statement from a member of James Baker’s commission:

•“I think the big question is whether we can come up with something before it’s too late,” one member of the commission said late last month, after the group met in Washington. “There’s a real sense that the clock is ticking, that Bush is desperate for a change, but no one in the White House can bring themselves to say so with this election coming. It’s a race between our political calendar and the Iraqis.”

So, America’s troops are being exploited and used for the benefit of Republican votes. Bush and the Republicans know that the troops are coming out, but they will leave them there to be injured and killed rather than risk losing votes.

Is this what republicans and conservatives mean by supporting our troops?

You are right about one thing - it is hopeless. But then, everyone who knew anything about the region knew that from the start. Invading Iraq was a stupid idea doomed to failure - and fail it will, no matter how much people make-believe differently.

You should try living in the reality-based world for awhile. I know more about this and am better informed than you are - and that's the facts, jack.

Ah Ha -

You really do not know anything about the geopolitics and cultural histories of the Middle East or America, do you?

You know you are the idiot here, don't you?

Of course you do.

All of your friends are stupid, aren't they?

They would have to be.

Answer 1

Pretty sickening. People defend them too. Did you see the Bob Woodward interview? The administrations say's the exact opposite of the truth. I guess supporters will just say he's part of the liberal media. Great defense huh? I was one who thought we couldn’t leave the mess over there because it would be a disaster. I am really worried now. Somebody needs fired for this fiasco. How could they be so obtuse?

Answer 2

The Bush adminstration went to war by using factless basis, and I don't know what these idiots above are supporting Bush for. Since the begining of the war, Powell showed the U.N. some bull crap picture of WMDs being moved and later it was proved that this was a total lie and you still have these idiots that say he has done nothing wrong. More troops have died in Iraq and Afghanistan than people killed on 9/11. Terrorism has spread like wild fire, and it is harder to control it than ever before. And still the Adminstration is talking about what a good job they are doing. If only republicans and conservatives had to send thier children to war, this would have been over two weeks after it started.
Like the one guy above said hypocritical is not even enough to justify the lives lost not just by the civilians in Iraq, but also American troops. The british are working hard to pull out, why not America. May god help the innocent and the troops because it looks like The American people don't really care about them.
I mean we saw what happened in vietnam. Even when the troops come back they probably be living on the streets because the gov't sure does give a **** about them

Answer 3

I've no doubt what Baker said was taken out of context and artfully spun, as you have just done. American soldiers are not being exploited or used for votes; American soldiers are being used to try and keep order in a hopeless situation where the Iraqis can't seem to take control of their own country with us right there. What the hell will they do when we're gone? I'm glad the commission is looking into it.

sure, permit's start up with the abortion subject. This marketing campaign is professional-existence? i assume the fetuses in Iran do no longer likely count selection or the ladies human beings over there are not getting pregnant or McCain does not be making a track "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" to the sea coast Boys. humorous how Palin's marketing campaign has been focusing on the abortion subject at present. that stunning, type woman who has almost incited insurrection at her campaigns now cares relating to the fetuses of the international. on the subject of welfare...specific he provides it to special business enterprise. after all, he married into enormous business enterprise and pass the style of the "severe existence" (sorry Cindy if I gave a plug to a competitor). He did no longer provide up it while it first started because of the fact it did no longer "first start up". HE started it. It basically did no longer paintings in his prefer. As Ross Perot suggested of him "John cares approximately no person yet John". yet truly, here is the base line: do you decide on a President who needs to win or needs the yank public to win? He needs to be President. i decide on a super stay because of the fact my governing bodies are finding out for that.

Answer 5

I find it hard to believe that the Repugs can be more hypocritical and yet they never fail to surprise me.

Consider that Hastert and the Repug leadership KNEW that Repug Cong Mark Foley was a pedophile. Not only do they not force him out of congress for fear of losing their power, but they ACTUALLY let him chair a committee on exploited children. Not only hypocritical but sick!

Answer 6

Hypocritical is not the right term to describe the people that are sending our troops into a meat grinder for personal political gain.

I don't know of a word strong enough to describe their actions or the war profiteering actions of Haliburtan executives.

I know the proper penalty, though. Summary execution.

Answer 7

Well if they come out after the election it's better than nothing but yes I would agree that if the only reason to keep them there now is to show Bush supporters "toughness" then that is wrong.

Answer 8

It is a sad state that we live in were political like is more important than human life.

Answer 9

Idiot.

Answer 10

I'm Amazed you can think something like that. I wouldn't think that way about a LIB.
