Talk radio listeners certainly hang onto these quotes but they couldnt help republicans in 2006 and 2008, contrary to what they were told by the hosts who daily read these qoutes.
RE” You're wrong again. The Democrats voted for the war. Then they campaigned against the war after the troops had already been deployed. ”
Every so often someone defends Bush by claiming that it was really Democrats that pushed us into Iraq. The reality is that Bush demanded a vote be made prior to 2002 election. The truth is that Cheney and Rice went out on show after show and warned about Mushroom clouds over America. That is what people will remember forever. Democrats followed the polls and used it politically.
Bush did something special with Iraq, he got Democrats polled higher than republicans on National security. This is a huge accomplishment after Carter-Reagan national security history.
Your side lost to Bush in '04. The reasons for Operation Iraqi Freedom remain the same, and your side voted for the same legislation that Bush did.

Strawman. Both sides favored intervention against Iraq. It was the Democrats that rallied against the war after the troops had been deployed.

What poll numbers? Are you claiming that the nation would have been safer if we abandoned Iraq to al-qaeda? And how's Obama's poll numbers been lately?
