This is what Bush 41 said:

"I don't believe in mission creep," he continued. "Had we gone into Baghdad -- we could have done it, you guys could have done it, you could have been there in 48 hours -- and then what?
"Which sergeant, which private, whose life would be at stake in perhaps a fruitless hunt in an urban guerilla war to find the most-secure dictator in the world?
"Whose life would be on my hands as the commander-in-chief because I, unilaterally, went beyond the international law, went beyond the stated mission, and said we're going to show our macho?" he asked. "We're going into Baghdad. We're going to be an occupying power -- America in an Arab land -- with no allies at our side. It would have been disastrous."
--------------- If Dubya had actually gone to war, he might have emerged as a decent sort of man. You can't teach some people anything. I think the one thing Dubya may regret is that he didn't declare martial law in the US right after 911 and kept it on forever.
I think most of the opposition to the US was that it was a unilateral action based on a pack of lies for oil profits. Makes sense.
Actually Dems are the: save the unions, save Medicare/Medicaid, save SS, increase minimum wage into a working wage, provide help for the working class party. Republicans are the: steal for the top 1/10th of 1% by appealing to the stupid side of the working class - gods/guns/gays.
To say that you're for the working class and vote Republican is to be hypocritical beyond belief. The Bush you voted for admitted, on videotape, that his BASE is the 'haves and have mores.'
Where do you think that 'mores' comes from? It comes from the hide of the outsourced, financially strapped, despised, spit upon, overworked, abused and shrinking middle class.
Republicans: increased national debt by 45% in just 6 years
Republicans: fought tooth and nail for estate tax bill that affected .27 of 1% of estates
Republicans: fought tooth and nail for BigPharma to prevent government price negotiations resulting in the BIG DOUGHNUT for seniors which will, amazingly, come to roost around November.
Most people believe in a fair fight based on real policy differences. Republicans believe in theft of votes, of money, of the country.
Bush has a 31% approval rating. There are lots of working class people who hate Republicans and will for the rest of their lives. |
