Some observations from posts on this thread and the Obama thread:
Americans who root for failure in Iraq because they want egg on the face of republicans are a disgusting group. A true patriot would only want outcomes that strengthen our nation, not those that weaken the nation but give their political party leverage.
Carl Rove didn’t invent a new book of political tactics. Politics is and has always been a cutthroat business. I’m sure Caesar didn’t think the people stabbing him were just being nice.
I’m not buying into the “poor wittle democrats” theme who have been too busy cowering to stand up to the big bad meanie-weanie Republicans.
Lots of people here spout condemnation for partisan politics yet are extremely partisan themselves and wear big blinders. It amazes me that anyone would delude themselves into thinking that Obama would not be a partisan president even though his record (hard and fast proof of how he operates) says otherwise. But wait! He SAYS he won’t be partisan.
I bet a healthy number of soldiers killed in Iraq would not be pleased by people using them to beat an anti-war drum. What would Cindy Sheehan’s son really think about how his mother and the Democratic party have used him to further their cause? Cindy Sheehan’s husband of 28 years filed for divorce one week after she set up camp outside Bush’s ranch. How does he feel about what she is doing?
