Is belonging to a group THAT important? As a Dem or a Repub, Bush's decisions have had horrific consequences....

Most people don't....My family is full of diehard Republicans and they cannot wait for Bush to get out of office. They don't even argue with me about it anymore. They agree that the war has to end. I am not sure how any logical person could still think this war is accomplishing anything, especially given the fact that Al Queda is as strong as it was before 9-11. They continue to support Republicans, but not Bush.

How about a little wake up advice?
There is nothing "obvious" about our present policies being "bad."
We have confronted an enemy in a war that we have no prior experience to call upon for guidance - suicide bombers, hiding amongst the innocent civilians, attacking at random, targeting indiscriminately both civilians, their own countrymen and coalition troops - no uniforms, no battle lines, no specific country - just an ideology of hatred, a religious fanaticism, an agenda of world domination and a blood lust like no other.
What group would you suggest we belong to? The liberals' policy of defeat? Surely we can't revert back to policies of no effective response to the terrorists' tactics - that only got us more terrorism and ultimately resulted in the events of 9/11.
We need viable alternatives - not more criticism. We need solutions, not more Monday morning quarterbacking.

Consequences of this war, are only in the mind of those who do not see a need for JUSTICE!
Saddam and the Saddamites clearly had to be dealt with in a timely fahion in order to discontinue the genocide that was taking its toll on the oppressed nation that Iraq was, and continues to be, with regards to the Al Qaeda insurgency that continues to infiltrate the area.
Now, Tell me this, DEMOCRATS want us to leave, ok, If we exited Iraq tomorrow, and we were attacked tomorrow night, just how in the world could you justify that decision with what you call "bad judgement by this adminstration" How?

I wish I could answer your question. Sadly, I don't know. It is a question I ask myself daily. When I read these answers on YA it would scare me...if I didn't know that in reality only 26% of his lemmings still stand behind him. I've noticed even the Repubics are starting to drop away from him like flies.

You are assuminf facts not in evidence.
If all his decisions are bad, Why do the Dems. keep voting with him?
If you look at voting records they follow him, then go out and campaign against it....
Facinating.....

If it was that important to me to always be loyal to one group I would not choose to be with Bush

One of the cores of conservatism is to stand by the father figure(president, leader, God) that knows best and attack anyone that might have evidence of guilt that might weaken the father figure image in times of fear. This is to deep for most people but it is a fundamental of fear.

Well global warming has taken over my thought process, so I think he is justified, for I believe it has taken over his.
