anything to indicate that they care more about the terrorists than Americans (as I have heard screeched on more than one occasion)?

Some predicted answers:

WIretapping: nobody has a problem with this, as long as a warrant is gotten WITHIN 72 HOURS A-F-T-E-R THE WIRETAP

Against the war in Iraq: ONLY because of the belief, right or wrong, it is NOT part of the war on terror and is making us LESS safe. Haven't you ever wondered why the terroris-loving
Democrats are always saying it was RIGHT to go into Afghanistan and even that we SHOULD go into northern Pakistan if that's where Bin Laden is?

Against torture: ONLY because it leads to false information AND increases the likelihood of our own troops being tortured....yes al Qaeda is already barbaric, but what about future wars and different enemies?!

Bill Clinton: "Bin Laden was offered on a platter but he turned it down" WTF!? Let's see, get the mastermind with zero effort or casualties and look like a hero? Nah....

Waterboarding people: Show me the quotes from the experts who say it is not torture!

Democrats and Saddam's threat people: yes many of them were being politicians saying what they needed to look tough, deep down they knew they couldn't actually go in or we'd have today's disaster! The more plausible explanation is they love terrorists??

Lone Murtha person:

"The Haditha incident occurred on 19 November 2005, and since then there have been differing accounts of exactly what took place."

"In November 2005 Murtha announced that a military investigation into the Haditha killings concluded U.S. Marines had killed innocent civilians."

"Murtha noted his statements were based on a report prepared by the military in July"

Above is form Murtha's Wiikipedia article...ok fine, but is Rush really a more reliable source?!!

Bush Family Member said it pretty well, so I'll just ad some other Democrat quotes to the Iraq war. Some how they act like they've always been against it.:

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
--Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
--Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
-- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
-- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them."
-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
-- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"
-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

Great answers. As well as I remember Pres. clinton stated he didn't have enough on Biny to get him from the Serbs and that ust have been a big platter

. As far as water boarding, they are not telling you the hold thing. They use coke, next time you drink a soft drink or pop, depending on which part of the world you are from, and tilt your head over and pour some in your nose nd sinuses, you'll talk. So of you have already had that happen when you were eating.

Some body from on of those secret committes came out and said we wee monitoring the ts cell phone conversations and then they said the chatter stopped, but you would think they knew that? Duh?

We must join togerther and heal not only our country, but also the ones that are having aproblem with this.. I read "How Satan turned America agianst God, 970+ pages, 1,500 endotes and frferences and that's enough for me. It's by William Grady go t your library and check it out, it will blow your mind and settle most of this and tons of other stuff.

take care.

You are correct each of these cases on face value is not enough to label the Dems as for the terrorists; HOWEVER, add them up.

They were against wire taping KNOWN al quaeda operatives.

Al quaeda has been making silly comments like that the whole time. Al quaeda said that 'having American troops in Iraq was making their job easier', Really???? But Dems believed it. Also, how do you explain Al quaeda using Dem talking points in there threat tapes????

Torture DOES work. It was used on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and they retrieved important info.

As for the Clinton thing, I don't understand what you. It is factual that he was given the opportunity.

a number of the fossils that have been got here across have been got here across to be frauds. Others have been initially misunderstood. this would not mean that all the fossils have been got here across to be fraudulent or misunderstood. by utilising the way, that evidence develop into falsified by utilising actual scientists, not creationists. thrilling, isn't it? EDIT: I examine the full element and so some distance as i be attentive to, it rather is frequently acceptable. i'm undecided approximately Lucy, nonetheless, yet after all, Lucy isn't universally many times used as our ancestor. i've got examine different books approximately evolution and the fraudulent and misunderstood fossils are suggested intimately. actual, i could be *greater* suspicious if no errors have been ever made.

What about what John Murtha said about the Marines who allegedly killed innocent Iraqis. He called them "cold blooded murderers" before he got all the facts. The soldiers in question were since exonerated, and to my knowledge still haven't gotten an apology from Murtha. What a creep to have participating in our government. He's a disgrace! Even Democrats should be ashamed!

Ted Kennedy, when he referred to Iraq as Bush's Viet Nam.
Harry Reid, when he publicly announced that America has lost the war.
How about a democratic initiative being proposed to tell the enemy when we are leaving?
Consider, all of these examples took place while our soldiers are on the front lines and in harms way.
In my humble opinion, these examples either indicate a disdain for our troops or a boost for the enemy's morale, or both.

I don't believe that they care about the terrorists more. I will say that they cannot acknowledge anything good in the Middle East but will overstate the bad, this is an attempt to end the war for their own personal reasons and not the safety of this country or its citizens.

Yes.

Torture:
Waterboarding is not torture. Most people have swallowed some pool water. Being tazered or pepper sprayed is far more uncomfortable.

Wiretapping:
Clinton did no warrant physical searches. That is far more than wiretapping.
Clinton Executive Order in 1995:
"the Attorney General is authorized to approve physical searches, without a court order" http://nodis3.gsfc.nasa.gov/displayEO.cfm?id=EO_12949_
Why Don't Liberals Know Clinton Did No Warrant Searches?

Democrat quotes on Iraq:
Nancy Pelosi in 1998:
"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." – NANCY PELOSI, December 16, 1998

Those who say water boarding isn't torture should have no problem with submitting to it then to prove to us doubters and cynics what a piece of cake it is. I say we start with the highest ranking and work out way down the food chain.
