What in the name of all that is Holy does your stock have to do with Liberals.......
You like all knee jerk can't think for myself republicans think everyone who disagrees with you is a liberal.
So you are insulting the soldiers and calling them dumb? Usually us Liberals get blamed for that.....how disrespectful of you.
I cry when human beings die...sorry....I am angry about the cost of this war...I am angry about all the weapons of mass destruction we found in Iraq...that could have been bad...OH WAIT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY WEAPONS.
Bush is a liar and a fool and so are you....many CONSERVATIVES are pulling away from him.
EDIT:
You know, I usually ignore republicans because they are like you, but you calling soldiers dumb (which is what you implied) really set me off.
My nephew signed up for the national guard yeah and it was dumb I agree...he didn't have enough money for school and wouldn't take out a loan (DUMB)....he comes from a lower income and even lower IQ set of parents....his school district is in a largely blue collar, not college educated (which is NOT the same as not being smart) area...hardworkers, just don't understand the value of an education, or never had the opportunity (we're outside of Detroit...it is the curse of the auto industry...people used to be able to make a great living with no education)
Anyway, my nephew was all the things John Kerry said about most of our enlisted people...they don't have any options, they don't have a educated background, they don't have money....the conservatives threw a fit saying he, a former soldier, insulted the soldiers....what he NEVER did, which YOU DID was call them DUMB.
My nephew bought into the serving your country crap....he bought into the 1 weekend a month, 2 weeks a year lie....with the thought that MAYBE he'd go over....he also believed that reserve meant reserve....since then we have discovered that many active army guys aren't over there........
Since that time I have seen many ads for the reserve that are bold faced lies...serve your country....1 weekend a month....they don't even ADDRESS the reality that is now......
HOW DARE YOU? MY SON IS NOT DUMB....WELL AT LEAST ONE OF HIS PARENTS IS!!!!!

What a crock.
Soldiers knew that they might be called upon to go into combat and some would be killed. However, we had before us the memory of Desert Storm, which killed fewer than 500 US personnel.
They did not expect, and had a right not to expect, that they would be sent into a third world country, to fight a protracted land war in Asia against an insurgency. They volunteered to fight a war for America's national interest, not to stick their ***** into hornets' nests (before you whine about that, remember that it's an Army term for stupid tactical moves) in order to fluff up Dick Cheney's portfolio of Halliburton options.
It is Bush's fault that the finest army in the world was broken by sending it under-manned, under-equipped, and under-trained for a mission that was never and never should have become part of the Army's mission.
But you have found a new spin, that's for sure.
Who's to blame for this mess? You are the only person I have heard with the chutzpah to blame the soldiers, confess this is an utter novelty.

First of all, it's conservatives (like Bush and his father before him) that always blame others when something goes wrong.
Second, we liberals do mourn for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. I've always mourned the loss of American troops. I am fully aware that we have an all-volunteer armed forces (although if Bush were running a real "global war on terror, he would have asked Congress to debate reinstating the draft).
To that end, you sound like you are opposed to the American presence in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It's the President/the Commander-In-Chief (George Walker Bush) who ordered our troops into those countries.
I also don't think our troops are dumb.
Conservatives are wonderful about being anti-government. Yet they all want to be elected to government offices.
You contradicted yourself!!!!

I have had failures in my life but none of them caused by Bush. Bush is causing the failures of this country. I did not sign up to fight in any war in Iraq or Afghanistan and I never supported the war in Iraq from day one. Just because you sold your shares...does not make the housing market any better in the long run. That was just your way of getting out of it.

Liberalism is destroying our country, Your right it's always somebody Else's fault, Osama Blows up Khobar Towers Killing 19 Airman and wounding 300, Liberals say we must have done something wrong.
I coach my son's Sports teams and the way these 7-8 year old kids talk to there parents is un-heard of???? The parents are afraid to grow a spine and have there kids take personal responsibility for there actions, My 7 year old still gets a spanking if the offense calls for it, I preach to him to take responsibility for his actions and own up to his actions good or bad, Most Liberals want everything given to them, they Graduate college go out to the work force and are pissed that are not getting 75,000 to start, it's amazing and there work ethic of most is in the toilet. Liberals love hand outs,
EDIT/// As a soldier I knew what I signed up for in, War or Peace Time, Most real soldiers do.

The democratic congress is failing largely in part because Bush has vowed to veto them at every turn--nothing will get done to bring the people home. I don't care if they had the foresight or not--they don't deserve to die.

Because the public has an obligation to help those in need therefore they are always in need. It's a great gig. By the way, I think you should rephrase calling troops Dumb. Maybe repost your question! That's not very nice thing to do.
I think the liberals are always going to have someone to blame because as far as the country leans to the left, the farther they will reach, so they will always be the victim of something less popular.

Why can't you stop pointing fingers?
Why can't we all take responsibility?
Let us call the kettle black shall we?
Please don't blanket everyone into one lump - you don't like it any more than I do.

They can't accept responsibility for their actions, so it makes them feel better to point the finger at someone, or something else. Crying and whining is their specialty, and there's nothing we can do to change that. All we can do is sit back and laugh our butts off at those pathetic souls.
