Answer 1

This the best Question I have heard in a long time. I have asked myself this but I am not conservative. I have the belief that some people are mean geedy and self absorbed by nature. When they are convinced to continue acting this way by other insecure and self absorbed examples for a considerable length of time they will be doomed to that behavior forever. too sad and very bad.

Answer 2

Funny, we "cons" ask the same thing about the liberal democrats. I guess you've never heard of the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Have you? A democrat president launches an invasion against a country that up to that point had NEVER threatened this country. Then, desided he didn't want to take a chance of being caught, so instead of cancelling the invasion, talked to his brother (the Attorney General -- let's talk about cronyism!) and together, they desided to cancel the support for the invasion. The invasion went ahead as planned. Over a 4 day period, some 2506 men landed on the beach and another 6 were shot down. All either died there on the beach or were taken prisoner, tortured and then executed. And the wives of the deceased? Never really told the truth (it was a CIA covert operation) were all given $400 a month until they remarried. And that president? The news media played him up as King Arthur in Camelot. Let's talk about money, power and a lack of concern for our troops. Shall we? Pull your head out of your rectal sphincter, wipe the fecal matter from your eyes and trying seeing the REAL facts for what they REALLY are instead of your perverse (backward) little paradigm world.

When this Conservatives' War in Iraq finally comes to an end, I predict that 6500+ American Troops will be KIA, 70,000 will be WIA and the War will be a total loss in terms of advancing American security worldwide. The conservations will have nothing to hide behind or anyone to blame without looking even more corrupt and uncaring or our Troops in harms way!
The Bush Administration will be considered by most historians as the worst Presidency in American History by a very long margin. And, the Republican Party will cease to exist as a Ruling Party in American History forever.
Basic reasons for these outcomes are that the United States Military will have showed itself to be a diminished institution compared with the its effectiveness at the end of World War II.
Secondly, the comfortable and corrupted relationship between the Military and Corporate America will have been basically exposed during the Iraq War and was found to be responsible for destroying leadership capability in the Military by programing, selecting, propagandizing the upper ranks of the Military through replacement and dismissal of qualified leaders and general degradation of the United States Military principles and customs of Leadership.

Well lets see.. we can all agree that Halliburton would fall under the conservative class correct? And it is a fact that Halliburton is still engaged in business ventures with Iran. So to me that means money is more important to certain conservatives (being the ones that run this country) than to that of not only the troops, but the entire American population, and for that matter the world if the threat of terror is a world problem so they claim it to be. I do believe we are suppose to be shutting out Iran and not talking to them or engaging in any type of venture do to them being considered a terrorist state, correct? Why is it ok for Halliburton to be doing business there and helping the economy of a terrorist state? Wow how money drives will. I am sorry I should state that Halliburton has agreed to stop doing business with Iran as soon as they are done with their current projects.. but stating not because they choose to but because of the US law that will prohibit them. That is patriotic don't you think!!

Answer 5

They arent the ones constantly bashing our military, trying to defund it, or insisting we cant win and we've already lost. Fighting tyranny costs lives. If you cant accept that, then maybe you should go move to switzerland.

Who do you think Bin Ladin and the rest of Americas enemies want to win the next election? They want appeasment wimpy democrats to win because they know they are unwilling to fight the war on terror and will do anything to try to stay popular.

Answer 6

They're Conservatives, that's why.

They sent innocent American soldiers to war and poverty torn countries to die at the hands of dictators and terrorist.

They spend billions upon billions of dollars that Americans worked for to help a foreign, unstable government start up and grow to repair it's country. Let the fact be known they they already have equal those billions in our money from oil wells.

And finally, at the turn of the century, they nominate an idiot for President, and fool America into voting for him TWICE!!!


Republicans, I declare.

Answer 7

The ones running the White House sure seem to.

Answer 8

Ask the Dems who padded the Iraqi war bill with billions in bribe money to themselves to get a yea vote.

Answer 10
