So all conservative and/or libertarian claims about the ability of American to succeed should be dismissed because Bush and/or someone in his cabinet said that Iraqis would greet Americans with open arms? What a nonsensical argument. That's not what I said. I said its the biggest crock since Bush told us the Iraqis would greet American soldiers with open arms. And even if American mostly couldn't succeed that would only mean that conservatives' opinions where factually wrong (fortunately they are not) not that they are uncaring. Again that's not what I said........what I said is that, like you, they are not willing to find out that the data does not support their premise about poverty in the US. Case in point.....when Gulf residents where struggling in the aftermath of Katrina where was America's #1 compassionate conservative? Conservatives where very compassionate in response to Katrina (and to other natural disasters) and contributed enormous amounts of money and effort to help alleviate the problems. So you say...........I'll have to take your word on it since there are not statitistics that make it clear.
