Depends on what your benchmark is I guess. From 2000-2008 it got lower taxes and a boost in military spending

And 4500 irreplaceable heroes dead, 20 000+ maimed, and $4 trillion wasted, for nothing.

“And 4500 irreplaceable heroes dead, 20 000+ maimed, and $4 trillion wasted, for nothing.”

You’re not going to get an argument on that from me.
However the war with Iraq was pretty popular here of FR at the time.
I was still a lurker then and remember a lot of posts about “Bitch slapping France” and all that immature crap about Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast.

I will say that in the long run I think a lot of Freepers stopped seeing things in strict Republican versus Democrat terms.
JMHO but the letter behind their name doesn’t mean as much anymore and in reality it’s the elites against the rest of us.
