I wouldn't go there so fast. Disagreeing with the "right" does not equate. I like the term fair and balanced - yep - that is where I am coming from. By dismissing me as some leftist / commie tool you have cut off many like me who actually want to win in Iraq - many of them voted Dem for just those reasons. BTW - I voted for Allen and JoAnn Davis in VA…
Give it up, Va. Your purpose is clear. No one here is fooled.
You really think the Democrats want to win in Iraq? All they ever talk about is how it's a war just for oil and Halliburton, and Bush lied to get us in there and how he should be impeached. Kerry ran on the "wrong war, wrong place, wrong time", and proceeded along with his supporters to stuff the Iraq war into the template of the Democrats' favorite war, Vietnam (because we lost). Murtha regularly accuses his fellow Marines of war crimes while saying absolutely NOTHING about their accomplishments and calls for "redeployment over the horizon" (withdrawal).
On top of that, they remain suspiciously silent when crackpot theories are voiced by the Moore/Sheehan crowd about how the Jews and/or neocons blew up the WTC and it was a cruise missile that hit the Pentagon. Or in some cases, like Howard Dean and Cynthia McKinney and Maxine Waters, they openly endorse such theories.
Sounds to me like the Dems think the war is a horrible mistake at best and an evil conspiracy at worst. If they really believe that, then the ONLY possible course of action is immediate withdrawal. Please explain to me how any of that (or anything else leading Democrats have said) indicates the Democrats are gung-ho to win. When Democrats say "stop", are you in the habit of telling everyone they really mean "go"?
Look pal, I've got nothing personal against you, I don't hate you, I don't want you dead, I don't wish you any harm. I would just like you to stop dodging our questions and repeating "well, let's just look to the future on how to win". Have you ever heard the saying "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"? We can't win by voting for those who want us to lose.
