Political Labels: Liberal - Conservative - Iraq War
What's so conservative about invading Iraq, overthrowing, and installing a new government? That's not conservative. That's insane.

Why aren't more self-proclaimed "conservatives" calling bullshit on the Neocon escapade into Iraq?

And I'm sick of media talking heads saying democrats are soft on defense. Republicans aren't stronger on defense. They're only strong on offense! Including offending the whole world.

1. Did you hear the latest crap? The repubs want congressional
investigations into the financial ties of the anti-war congressmen and Sadam. They don't want any investigations into how and why the idiot lied, not investigations into how much this thing is even costing and where the money is going, or Hallibuton, or Carlyle Group ties to the White House, or even anything to do with Saudi Arabia. They are saying people like the two congressmen who went to Iraq before the war or even Kucinich and Kennedy were paid by Sadam and therefore are traitors.

When will the beam of light and truth fall on these rats and expose them for the traitors and creeps they really are?

2. Republicans Are Everything
they accuse others of. Their strategy was always dirty. The Dem's at least try to help the poor and middle class. As far as I'm concerned, Republicans are anemic, over-privileged talentless monsters living off the poor and working class. They are as old as the Monarchy itself. Just a different name.

It's time we come to terms with the fact that we are only here to give these worthless talentless human beings a free ride. Since Capitalism is only there for a very few, I say we play our own game. The system is broken, we have already had a coup, and now we are being used as fodder for the oil company wars.

As people die in Iraq and our poor starve in the alleys, people like Donald Trump have TV shows, illustrating the extent to which desperate people will go to achieve some symbol of success. The rich throw a bone to the poor and then they call it entertainment.

3. Freepers on a board I frequent
told me that the Republicans on the 911 Commission were really Democrats in disguise, because only Democrats would 'wage a witchhunt during time of war'. Funny, I thought Shrub picked the commission members. Personally, I think this shows that the lunatic rank and file freeper is no longer in touch with reality.
