"The dirty little secret in this country is that we turn to Democrats whenever we feel a need to pursue things that we would never allow a Republican to do -- whether it be the internment of Japanese-Americans in World War II, the assassination (or assassination attempts) of foreign heads of state in the early 1960s, the Vietnam War, welfare reform and "tax cuts for the rich" in the 1990s, etc."
First, we didn't "turn" to Roosevelt to inter the japanese he was already president. A republican would have likely done the same thing.
Yes it was Democrats that got us into and escalated Vietnam, but it was Republicans that took care of Grenada, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Kerry would do anything but equivocate and show weakness against terrorism, and give our sovereignty to the UN. Hell, all of our enemies want Kerry, Kim Jong, Arafat, Bin Laden, Fidel Castro, Zarquawi, Soros, Kofi Annan, etc.
Do you think a Republican would have gotten away with something like that?
Yes it was Democrats that got us into and escalated Vietnam, but it was Republicans that took care of Grenada, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Go back over the last 100 years and make a couple of comparisons: 1) the number of casualties the U.S. has suffered in wars in which U.S. involvement began under Democrats vs. Republicans, and 2) the moral outrage from supposedly "compassionate" liberals over wars in which U.S. involvement began under Democrats vs. Republicans.
