Ted, In reality, the assertions on this thread by the left more often than not are based on fact, not assumption.

I've seen what passes for "fact" on both extremes. Usually it involves someone repeating something ad nauseum, or cutting-n-pasting volumes of one-sided stories, until it is generally assumed in the person's mind that what they believe must be fact beyond a reasonable doubt.

No, that's not true. On this thread, the opposition to Bush's policies have provided all kinds of facts to support their position. True, it was interlaced with opinion but usually behind the opinions, is fact.

What's typical of Bush supporters is what d[-_-]b just asserted in a recent post......that we are winning the ground war in Iraq just as we did in Vietnam.

There is not been one bit of evidence to support that position with either war. In Iraq, the American and Iraq death tolls are mounting at a faster rate. Support for the insurgency also has grown as has the number of insurgents. Plus there is growing evidence that the Iraqis are very close to civil war.

Yet, d[-_-]b makes his incredible assertion with a straight face.......just like Brownie, Bush and Chertnoff did about LA/MISS in the early days after Katrina. The difference.......that one was too close to home and the lies were uncovered very quickly.

You all have a serious credibility problem and when this is all said and done, I wonder how much of the GOP will be left standing.
