Why are Bush Supporters Such Damn Liars?

Question

They go around claiming that John Edwards and Hilary Clinton voted for the Iraq war, when they actually voted to give Bush the authority to wage war if necessary.
The UN weapons inspections were working there was no need to go to war, but Bush wanted vengeance, so war was not necessary.
BTW, how did that 2006 election work out for the Republican stooges of Bush?

Geeze, the UN inspections were working, they found 100 missiles marginally noncompliant for being too long range and 80 of the 100 were destroyed when bush started the war. Iraq was reported to be cooperating with the UN at the time Bush decided to start the butchery. Good to see Bushies support their liar with minimizing his atrocities to "faulty intelligence".

Answer 1

If I'm walking my pit bull on a leash, and he starts barking at a beagle, am I authorizing him to go and eat that beagle when I let him off the leash? Keeping him on the leash is pretty clear, just like a vote against authorizing the President to use force would be clear, but it makes no sense to claim that voting to give the President authority to wage war is any less than supporting that war. The only people that will believe that are idiots, and the only people that will pretend to are liars, which both Edwards and Clinton are famous for being.

And I'd like to know why anyone would believe that the inspections were working, when the inspectors held a different opinion at the time.

I'm not a Republican, but I think 2006 turned out rather well for them. America has seen what a Congress controlled by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi looks like, and now they can make up their minds during a presidential year.

"They go around claiming that John Edwards and Hilary Clinton voted for the Iraq war, when they actually voted to give Bush the authority to wage war if necessary."

That means they voted for war...

"The UN weapons inspections were working there was no need to go to war"

No the inspectors were not able to access all the info and sites they needed. Saddam constantly interrupted the Inspections and forced the inspectors out before the job was done. So in what way does that make the inspections successful?

As for the elections... I see we are still in Iraq... I see Bush is still in office... I see far left liberals whining and complaining and making asinine assertions... So I guess the elections were not as bad as they could have been.

Why is it the far left claims to be the the side of love and compassion and yet they scream and moan and insult? I mean that's what they accuse the right of doing, right?

Face it you have no argument and you just want to waste time griping.

Thanks for the 2 points.

And enjoy living in your own sad hate filled little world for the next year and a half.

In regards to the whole troll comment, whats really interesting is the question of exactly whose side he is on... Either he is making a point for the dems, or trying to stir up counter arguments from Republican supporters. Or, more likely, he is a nerdy little 12 year old kid in a basement somewhere.

Just so you know, my actual answer to the question is simply: because they are politicians. Its simple, politicians gain an edge in elections by covering up their failings and lying about successes. So the ones that don't lie are the ones that lose. Imagine if GWB actually said, 'I knew there was no WMDs, I just wanted oil for the army'. Does the left wing really expect that from him. And how about Hilary saying, 'I support a war where we win, but I need to distance myself from this lost gamble'.(come on, you know its true.)

And just so you can wake up, the UN is a powerless, USELESS body, suffering from the exact failings of the League of Nations. It worked as a neutral meeting ground for the US and the USSR, but Al'Quada doesnt have a seat.

What is needed is a universal body with an INDEPENDANT peacekeeping force, but no country is going to agree to that without the same scale of event which tore up the LON. Look it up.

Nice job on the democratic party. Taking a stand for 3 months saying they won't approve the money for the troops. Then when they get a challenge they change their mind. How much money did they waste playing politics for 3 months before giving the military what they needed ? You say they approved the president to have authority to go to war ? that sure sounds like they voted for it to me. The UN inspectors were kicked out of Iraq before they could finish their inspection. If you remember they were hand led to certain areas for inspection by Iraq and never did finish the job. The UN did nothing to prevent this war. That is the true culprit. 17 UN resolutions without any punishment meant nothing to Iraq. In fact it most likely encouraged them to continue to violate knowing nothing would happen. We will not tolerate a nation that kills its own people and favors terrorism over freedom.

Answer 5

If hillary and edwards hadn't voted for it then this wouldn't be an issue right now. The un inspections were a joke and never worked. I hope you just saw the head of the atomic energy agency say iran is 5 years away from atomic weapons this is the same kind of stuff he said about iraq then he backtracked when we invaded.

Answer 6

The 2006 election worked out quite well for the Republicans. Now the people remember what the do-nothing Dem's were all about. The newly elected Democratic Congress has done absolutely nothing positive since taking office and that will reflect when the Republicans win the '08 elections. The actions of the Democrats are making the Republicans look better every day.

Answer 7

Yet another example of liberals spinning words to their own advantage.
They voted to give Bush the authority to wage war if necessary. They could have voted NOT. They didn't. Liberals are constantly turning things around to suit their agenda.
Get over yourselves and be thankful that we've had a president that wants to protect your sorry butts.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
-- Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
Nuff said.

Answer 9

Ok they are even spinning what you stated which was fact. They voted you tards to allow him to go to war if necessary.. in my eyes and everyone else's eyes that would mean if this country was in danger or being threatened....WE WEREN'T. Frickin stupid people spin what they can. They will tell you that Bush went to war based on intelligence which turned out to be false and in the same breath tell you that Democrats voted us to go to war so how can a Democrat in congress talk bad about something they voted for.... don't know if that was caught by you slow people but that is a spin, typical hypocrital spin... It was ok for Bush to go to war and democrats supported it but once it was found out to be faulty intelligence it became the Democrats fault for giving him the authority based on the same intelligence.....stupid a holes I swear...how much silk do you think these people own with the spinning they do?

Sure the Dem's backed down on the war issue, that is true they were a bunch of wimps about the whole thing. However come september lets see who is crying ok.

Bush is anti american and pro corporation and war profiteering...it is his only agenda and will remain that way. Sorry you losers believe in this nut job. all 28% of you....

Answer 10

The fact is that only the congress has the power to send us to war. It is their constitutional responsibility to make that decision. The adminitration in power can only recommend. Congress has the responsibiblity to make sure we need to go and them and only them can send us to war. No lie there.

I know you and your liberal friends and the media have done everything you can to make the public think the war is only Bush's, but the fact is it is the Congress that sent us there.
