you cant say that the war is not going well and ask for changes, but when it comes to voting keep sticking to a failed policy!! Its always so easy to say yes to continuing a war when you are playing with house money (referring to soldier's lives who are not related to you). I am sure if any member of congress in favor of the war in Iraq had children their right now fighting, they would have a totally different view of war. this is why i am in favor of a drasft which treats ALL equally. then politicans and other in favor of war would have to actually sit down and think about their decisions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No accountability for anything
Never accept their failure
Redirect blame
And when they are being blamed for failure repeatedly - they wait and at the opportune time - they reverse the blame and create an evil label (Like Liberal) for their opposition

You had better catch up! The Sunday pundits are all reporting that we cannot afford to get out of Iraq, now. There is a distinct change regarding the success of the war going on. The surge is working, many former supporters of the terrorists are switching to the American side, the soccer victory is unifying Iraq even further and things are looking up.
Watch as the anti-war stance of the democrats quickly evolves into taking credit for the victories. The more successful we are the more they will take credit.
So you have better re-evaluate your assumptions. Where will a victory in Iraq leave the democrats?

Flip-flopping is the most ridiculous charge that was ever brought against a person. People need to be able to change their minds, rigidly hugging the same old patterns even when they have proven ineffective, does not help anybody. People need to realize that changing your mind isn't a bad thing, it means that you now understand something more about the situation, and realize that what you said earlier is not correct. If anything, people who are "flip-floppers" are showing the world that they can respond to new information effectively, and not remain stuck in an obsolete past.

Flip-flopping is when a politician changes his position. They all do it. Congress has been doing a lot of whining about the war without doing anything useful to change it - but, then, it's not thier job to conduct a war, only to fund (or not fund) it.

The only alternative plan proposed is the Liberals "Surrender with dignity" one. That is not a strategy for victory.
Losing this war is not an option. If the Iraqis can't do it, then so be it. Stop trying to make our guys fight with one arm tied behind their backs.
The Liberals have no plan to win. They don't want Bush to win. They don't want America to win. They want the people to believe that the WHOLE world hates us.
They will prevail, Allah willing.

the main important difference is the actuality that there are 21 new hidden taxes in Obama care. you will additionally word Romney Care is seventy 5 pages or much less and Obama Care is 2700 pages or greater. right here is one actual actuality. No Republicans voted for Obama Care. which skill no Republicans voted to approve the three% tax on all condominium earnings (to boot to different taxes already latest on condominium earnings) and maximum Democrats did. it is likewise the main important tax improve in history.

Yes, thats called "flip-flopping to presrve the satus quo and hope it preserves my seat in Congress through the next election".
First answerer: If Kerry were a Republican you'd flip flop on that,too.
Nowadays most Dems have quit the 2-answer scheme.
Republicans however...

Sorry, I don't recall my ever saying the war wasn't going well. Mistakes have certainly been made, but that is the case in any war.
The absolute worst thing we could do right now would be to leave. Iran would move in a heartbeat, we would have zero credibility in the world, and more trouble would be brewing very quickly.

I totally disagree with all of your statements. Republicans are not flip-flopping on anything. You seem to have closed mind. The war is not going badly. Even the left wing loonies in the main stream media are beginning to acknowledge the successes.
