For everybody here (looks to be a vast majority) that hates the Republicans and completely blame Bush for the Iraq war...what say you of the Dems that voted to go there as well? Posted by NavyRetired2.
You assume when the President of the United States tells you there is a need for war...there actually is one! That he hasn't made the whole thing up to salve his over-inflated ego! I can not blame the Democrat's for voting for the war! At the time, there was no real proof that Bush was lying (even though a lot of us suspected it)! At the time to do any differently would have been political suicide. Bush had the whole country worked into a frenzy over Iraq! Anyone who had the gall to question his motives was called a 'traitor', 'unamerican' and 'unpatriotic'! Some did stand up to speak out against it! But, were ridiculed by all you hawks who were clamoring for war! It didn't matter to most of you if Iraq was a threat or not! It didn't make any difference Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11! You wanted to tromp someone brutally! Well you have the mess now you clamored for now! I hope you are happy with the results!

Bravo! 100% correct and true from top to bottom! Excellent post!
That's why we hate them, they gave us good reason to. Posted by realpatriot1 at 10:17 AM : May 16, 2007
You know that's the one whine we hear from the right wing that I just don't get. They always complain that our hatred of Bush and Cheney blinds us to the truth (their version of it anyway), yet they never seem to understand that we hate them BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT!!! BECAUSE THEY EARNED OUR HATE!!!
This was a debate of the Marx Brothers and the Ritz Brothers versus the Three Stooges and Laurel & Hardy, moderated by Abbott and Costello. Truly laughable.
Congressman Paul is probably right. But the American people don't like the truth and can't face it. Rudy doesn't understand underlying causes because he's too focused and being the "Hero Mayor". John McCain seems to be sufferring from Alzheimer's because he can't seem to remeber what he said . Then again Rip-'em-Off Romney can't figure out which side he's on because he hasn't figured how to win.
As a liberal democrat, I watched this show in order to try and learn how these guys feel about Social Security, the economy, energy and a whole list of issues that are pressing this Nation as well as this Disaster in the Middle East
What I got for my efforts was a bunch of Bullies wandering aimlessly trying to figure who the next weak kid is to pick on.
I have this to say when I was against the war just like the Dixie Chicks remember you all staged a CD burning party and made us feel like we were the ones destroying the country. For those who said we should go to war I do not fault you because you were tricked and lied to. Now the truth comes out so don't go all high and mighty on us because the trick that some would pull is the same old tired one the GOP has been using for years.
"For everybody here (looks to be a vast majority) that hates the Republicans and completely blame Bush for the Iraq war...what say you of the Dems that voted to go there as well?"
It's what they say NOW that matters! If they still support the occupation of Iraq they should go.
One of the ploys the Rep's used against kerry was to label him a "Flip-Flopper". Personally I applaud someone who gets new information and changes his opinions. Bush is determined to "stay the course" and look where thats put us.
When it became clear that the President lied to go to war, Democrats started asking for answers. Republicans chose to cover up the lies and stonewall the questioning. That's why we have so many hearings now...because the Republican Congress didn't do its job of oversight.
That's why we hate them, they gave us good reason to.
Ron Paul was the only honest candidate. He represents the American people and old media hates him. Old media needs to wake up and understand that shoving old media candidates down American's throats isn't going to fly in today's modern internet world.
