I too have some friends who think the same as your friends...I question her all the time, and her only come back is, We are democrats, that's all.... Do they want to turn our country over to the UN, or tax the workers out of existence? If so, Kerry /Edwards is the right ticket... This is my new motto... IF YOU HATE OUR COUNTRY AND OUR CONSTITUTION, GO START YOUR OWN, AND TAX EVERYONE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, TURN YOUR GOVERNMENT OVER TO THE UN.

You are so right Alan. I have no doubt that many libs project onto Bush & his supporters the most serious moral & ethical infractions they & their own leaders have committed time & time again. We have observed their outrageous behavior both here, in the news & in 3D all too often. It isn't our imagination. And how often have we observed them, against all evidence, projecting fallacies like; Bush "Lied" & "misled" us into going to war "unilaterally", he claimed Saddam was tied to 9/11, Bush called Iraq an "imminent threat", it's always been about "stockpiles" of WMD's & nothing else, blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada, ad nauseam? How else do you otherwise explain the absolute confidence exuded as they assert all of the above as though these baseless assertions were all rock solid fact? Projecting immoral & unethical behavior is very common in people who are obsessively or passionately attached to something (I.E. political ideology). Once they have taken to committing (or overlooking) immoral & unethical activities to further thier cause, many face a moral dilemma. These people know what they & their peers are doing is undeniably wrong, but they are so emotionally attached to their liberal cause (or ABB), that projecting these horrible traits onto the opposition allows them to live in denial &/or to justify their own highly inappropriate behavior. Presto chango! They have a clean conscience & their ideology is intact. Bottom line. For a significant minority of these libs, ideology trumps reality & morality via projectionism.
