liberals bash Bush for entering Iraq preemptively (lets not even discuss the fact that Congress voted for it too....), and at the same time bash him for not avoiding the attacks on 9/11????  Have you ever heard the story about the pot and the kettle??  I am being serious here..I find liberals so hard to understand....

They idea of a "preventive war" has two big dangers:\n\n1) Pretending is not a war, when actually it is. The US attacked Iraq.\n2) There is no limit to what preventive means if "preventing" may become proactive.\n\nChina has WMD. So does North Korea. And France. And the UK. And Russia. And Israel. And India. And Pakistan. And probably a couple of more countries.\n\nWhy not attacking all this countries? It should prevent a nuclear attack in the US.\n\nThere are terrorists in many countries. Like ETA in Spain. Why not attacking Spain? And what about Ireland and IRA?\n\nIraq didn't have WMD and there is no clear connection between muslim terrorists - specially the terrorists of 9/11 - and Iraq. In fact Iraq was one of the least religious muslim countries as terrorist are fundamentalists.\n\nSo, why Iraq?\n\nDon't tell me Saddam was an enemy. Actually the US armed Saddam when Iraq was at war with Iran.\n\nIf terrorism is driven by hate, then probably the invasion in Iraq is going to produce lots and lots of terrorists. So, this war is not going to prevent terrorism but is inducing it, and at the same time increasing fear and hate towards the US all around the world.\n\nAnd in fact, the US has terrorists - remember Oklahoma - and WMD. Saddam may have attacked the US arguing... there are terrorists and WMD in the US.\n\nI don't like Saddam. I think the world should have been a better place without him in power. But not in this way.

You are mistaken on every level.  Bush is 'being debated as the worst president"?  By whom?  Some typical crybaby liberals with no answers except, "Bush is bad".\n\nYour liberal hero's also said their were WMD, we found the ones that wern't moved to syria.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Saddam was playing musical weapons with the inspectors.  Are you that naive?\n\nI don't particularly listen to Rush, but when I do, he has documented every statement he has ever made.  Much like Sean Hanity.  Tell me specifically what they said that was incorrect.  I doubt you can do it.\n\nYou want to talk about the foundation of this country?  Do you think it was founded on socialism?  It was not, so why do you vote democrat?  They are the new socialist party.  Everything they stand for is a socialist program.  Name one thing that is not. \n\nThe grandkids money statement makes no sense.  Your answer is obviously tax high, and give to people who don't work?  Please elaborate what you mean.\n\nYour a typical liberal spewing the nonsense of the likes of michael moore and bill mahar.  You have nothing to say but baseless namecalling.  I have yet to see a liberal who can back up his b.s. with facts.  \n\nSimply put, we are not a socialist country.  We will not allow you liberal democrats a chance to change that fact.  Get off your lazy liberal butt, and go to work.  If you work hard, you will be rewarded.  If you do not, work hard, then I guess you can go protest along with all the other lazy liberal scum.\n------------------\n\nBen, stop your crying.  The election was won by BUSH AGAIN.\n\nThe electorial college is how we vote in this country, and there is a reason for it.  We can not have a small area that is heavily populated make rules that hurt the rest of the nation.  It's how things are done.  Stop crying about the lost election.  Better yet, slap yourself in the face and say to yourself, "I don't want to be a socialist".

Everyone with an IQ over single digits tends to hate Bush. I, for one, love my country and support the troops over there fighting right now; but I want them to come home.Now. Bush should have kept the war in Afghanistan and only in Afghanistan. That was our original target, right? Well now you don't even hear about Afghanistan anymore; everything's Iraq,Iraq, Iraq! Now it's shifting to Iran. What happened to Afghanistan? More importantly: What happened to Bin Laden!? Bush has his priorities all screwed up. But then again, I doubt if he ever cared about Bin Laden in the first place.

Another liberal American hater. Instead of just being haters how about come up with some ideas that would help make this world a better place. The democrats have not worked with this President or this congress at all. During the Clinton administration the Republicans crossed party lines and approved all of his judicial nominees and passed many pieces of legislation because they want to be a part of the solution and not the problem. Liberals are the most despicable people on earth. I rate them right up there with the French.

wait a minute.  who are these "Libs so gung ho for War?"  i'm certainly no liberal, but i know, and tolerate, somewhat, a number of self-proclaimed liberals.  by the same token, i know and tolerate, somewhat, a number of conservatives (who are mostly embarrassed these days).  all these folks, which i regard as friends and associates have one thing in common.  they are against the war.  they mostly feel they've been lied to by a government they want so much to support.  now personally i knew bush was lieing when i saw his lips moving.  now of course i've been prooven correct.  that doesn't make me feel any better.  this war is a tragedy.  \n\nas for your commentary on main stream media, you describe it as "their MSM media."  i take it you see the media as liberal?  where have you been?  main stream media is anything but liberal. when was it?  sure there have been a few liberal types who had columns, perhaps a few television talking heads, but media is big business, and in so many cases is unabashed state propaganda.  you should thank your god that there are liberals in the media.

Why do self-proclaimed conservatives have absolutely no grasp of history or politics?\n\nIraq has never attacked us.  Ever.  We have attacked the soveriegn nation of Iraq two times completely un-provoked.  The first time we had no alliance with Kuwait and still became involved.  The second we went to war under the pretense that Iraq would proliferate WMD's to terrorists...neither part of that charge makes any sense to an intelligence analyst (myself among them).\n\nWhen those twin towers collapsed on 9/11, the media was immediately handed a culprit within minutes.  The first question that should have been asked from an un-emotional standpoint is "Who benefits?" (que bono?), the "Who did this?" would logically flow straight from this.  Facts are nasty things though, and nearly all "couch conservatives" would rather tout hate speech rather than research an actual fact.\n\nMy favorite arguements:\n1) Bush is big on national security, I feel safer with Bush in power.\n\nFact:  We have over 11 million illegal immigrants in our country and they keep coming and going at their leisure.  Our borders are little more than Swiss cheese.\n\n2) Liberals want to take away our freedoms, they're just like the terrorists.\n\nFact:  The PATRIOTS acts introduced by our Bushie friends have destroyed our constitution by rendering it invalid.\n\n3) Liberals want big government and to waste our tax dollars.\n\nFact:  Under the Bush administration, government spending increased 25%.  This is the biggest increase since Lyndon B. Johnson's administration during Vietnam.  We have also reached a trade deficit with Asia of almost $1 billion just in the first quarter of this year.  Our national debt is now at a record almost $7 trillion.  Under Clinton, we actually had a budget surplus and our national debt was in reversal...wierd for a "criminal" eh?\n\n4) Liberals don't support our troops!\n\nFact:  Veteran's Benefits have been repeatedly cut in the last 6 years to the point where some vets no longer have benefits from Republican introduced bills in Congress that Bush happily signed into law.  Liberals also want our troops to come home to do the job of defending our country, not become psychologically scarred and physically maimed.\n\n5) Bush is "smoking the terrorists out of their holes"\n\nFact:  There are 3 times more "terrorists" in the world today than before 9/11.  Osama himself had been cornered more than once and each time our Special Forces were ordered to "stand down" the moment before capture via mysterious orders from on high.\n\nTo this date, there has only been 1 single (dubious) conviction of an Al Queada member in a court of law for a (potential) terrorist act.\n\n6) Bush is "finding and punishing the guilty party (for 9/11)".\n\nFact:  We spent a total of $9 million to investigate the events of 9/11.  We spent $54 million to investigate Clinton's affair.  ALL forensic evidence (camera footage, building wreckage, financial records, black boxes, etc) has been carted off and sealed and no independent OR government sponsored investigators have been allowed near it.  7 of the 19 alleged hijackers are alive and well in their home countries as of today.\n\nIn short, keep watching your Fox news and your American Idol (the Roman Empire called it the "bread and circuses" approach), save your hate speech for your Sunday school class, and at least do a modicum of research before you spout something you overheard your misinformed parents rattle off.

Boy, you people are something.  I agree that there are people out there that just hate the military.  I have run into a few, they call me a murderer, mercenary, and all sorts of things.  But for a veteran to say he thinks that the war is a bunch of lies, that just tells me that you must have forgotten a few things since getting out.  The President will see more information than the public will ever see, and with this war the majority of the decisions he can choose to make are between two really bad choices.  It really bothers me that people think the President is doing such a horrible job, when they themselves couldn't do any better.  If you were President what would you do pull the troops out?  OK, what would you do when the fight follows them back here?  How would you react when we lose our Allies by pulling out?  How would you expect to recover the American way of life after you screw everything else up?  Before you criticize the President why don't you think about the desicions he has to make knowing that every move he makes is under the microscope.  Most of our troops know more about the war than civilians will ever know, and most of our troops support it and volunteer to go back.  When we declared war on terrorism Iraq was put in the crosshairs because it was supporting terrorism.  We did not declare war on just those involved on 9/11 we declared war on terrorism and any supporters of terrorism.  \n\nSince opinions are like ***holes, I know everyone is going to say something about me.  Frankly, I have probably heard worse than what you people could say about me, so if you really want to try and make me feel bad, embarass me, or anything like that you are just wasting your time.\n\nBTW, all you people that say vote Democrat, keep in mind that throughout history Democrats have gotten us into more wars than Republicans.  Even this war is a result of the inactions taken by a Democrat (Clinton).  So don't blame this entirely on Bush.

One of the greatest questions ever put on Yahoo! Answers, a place unfortunately infected with liberalism.\n\nYour points have already raised the ire of the liberals who cannot see their own hypocrisy, especially those like "ProfessorAdam" who is one of the worst examples of how a bitter partisan can ruin a thing like Yahoo! Answers.\n\nOne thought I have is that while liberals are certainly the most hypocritical people around the Republicans in Congress aren't very far behind at this point, getting elected preaching fiscal restraint and then going on a spending orgy that makes even Senator Kennedy jealous.\n\nBut it is funny that liberals, who have WASTED trillons of dollars on social programs in their five decades of deficit budgets, show how hypocritical they are when Bush submits a budget that calls for a deficit and then scream that he's failed as President.\n\nMe thinks it's time to bring about another Newt revolution!

i love when ppl post quotes saying "yeah, well, your democrat buddies talked about the wmd's too!".\n\nthats right, they did. and then they found out that we were all lied to. so, when presented with new facts, they changed their minds about something, which is what reasonable ppl do. they dont just "stay the course" when they find out something they did/said was wrong. \n\ncheney is a giant douche, a walking pile of living garbage, a crooked business man, and a hypocrite. he's so old that he cant tell the difference between an 80 year old man and an oxygen deprived pigeon, and it causes him to shoot people in the face. for as long as i can remember, we've been made aware that Saddam is one of the bad guys.... then shouldnt any good american steer away from doing business with him? \n\nfunny, there are a lot of pictures of him shaking hands with saddam..... but, i guess oil can buy a nicer for you opinion any day.

Because the liberal media came up with some sort of "Bush Conspiracy," saying how he planned 9/11 and how he started the war because he's blood-thirsty and power-hungry.  What a load, I know.  What they fail to realize, though, is that the guys in Iraq opted to go.  There is no draft making them go.  They are patriotic Republicans (got that from the % that voted for Bush) that are out protecting their right to bad-mouth the president.  Instead of getting excited over every new death in Iraq so they can use that against the Bush administration, they should be praying for the solders and thanking them.  If it weren't for them, they'd be bashing Bush in Arabic.

Who said I hate me--I mean, Presdient Bush.  He's a FINE presdient--witty, smart, brave--and damn handsome!  Yeah, damn liberal media.  I'm going to have a nice little talk with them GE folks and ask them why there all crankin out the hate against me.  No more war contracts fer them!!!!\n\nP.S.  That looks like a 'gina up there--heheh!

Look at the responses to your question. Liberals hate bush to the point of stupidity. He can do no good no matter what. Clinton sends troops to Bosnia and they accept that without ANY protest (they are still there even though Clinton promised they would return in one year), our troops are dragged through the streets of Somalia (that's ok because a liberal sent them there). As much as liberals like to think of themselves as open minded and non-judgmental they are neither. If you know a liberal this is a great joke to play. Read the paper in the morning and look for a quote from any liberal (i.e. Hillary, Teddy, Nancy P. etc.) attribute it to Bush and the liberal will spew hatred at the comment and say, "what an idiot", when you correct the source they will get upset and leave. If you do the same to a conservative they will usually say something like, "well that is stupid" and still disagree. Conservatives are better on the ideological which hurts us politically but it's better than being a liberal.

the invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with demorcay, which was a front, or making the world a safer place, it had to do with a personal vendetta against Hussien by Bush, who tried and tried to tie Iraq to 9/11 but couldnt , who insitsted there were wmds, but couldnt find any, and anyone who said they did, please cite the source, it was also for oil! Meanwhile Bin Laddens boys continue to operate, why vbecause instead of pouring the amount of troops needed to kcik their butts in Afghanastan, we decided to invade Iraq! That alone should raise eyebrows, but it gets worse if you investigate just how the twin towers colsaapsed, when steel does not melt at the tmp that  the building got to, nor should it of free fell! SO someone hide something, and used Hussien as a shield so that they could accomplish their goal, which was $$ oil all powerful presidency, curtailing civil rights!

It makes me sick,the woman has called him Hiltler publically and people think its President Bush that doesnt want to work with the libs?Would you want to work with someone that called you the most horrible human being that ever existed??Not me,I would say they could all go to hell.They will pursue impeachment attempts altho they have no grounds for it..,if they want to use no wmd's,guess they after to go after Clinton,Kerry and Kennedy who all said Saddam was a threat and we should go to war in Iraq.

The Anti-Bush questions don't bother me so much. We live inb a pretty partisan environment and Bush is a controversial figure. You either love him or hate him it seems. The questions that astound me are all the 9/11 Conspiracy questions. There seem to be more every day when 9/11 has been a settlted matter the moment 100+ Million people watched it happen right in front of them. Now, apparently, it was all smoke and mirrors.... *rolleyes*

Why is it that people refuse to listen to what is in front of them? Because guess what its not only the Bush family that accused Saddam of haveing WMD. Some of you probally love Clinton, and guess what he accused Saddam of haveing WMD.\nLets see now if you are saying there weren't WMD well what about the mobile chem labs? There have been reports that weapons left Iraq right before we invaded. Saddam kicked investigators out of his country more then once. He was never very open with the investigators. Why don't we get down to the truth. Its not about whether or not Bush was right or wrong about going over there, its about the exteremist liberals. They hate Bush and everything that he does. If you don't believe me then why is LESS people dieing at the front a bad thing? Why do they convently ignore the fact that it was VOTED that we went in? Why is the deaths of thousands ignored, but should one solder die its plastered on the news? Saddam KILLED his own people, and yet nobody seems bothered by what he did.\nWe ignore what suicide bombers do, but Bush is somehow worse then them. The reall crimanals are potreyed as saints, and Bush is suddenly evil to the core? Why don't we STOP the Bush BASH cause it WAS old IS old, and WILL be old.\nBy the way the short answers given out is old why not back up you answer? If you are going to bash Bush at least back up what you say. For all of you who do want to hear the truth, and not the dribble that comes out of Hollywood, Liberals, and Main Stream Media watch The O'Reilly Factor. Its on Foxnews, and they just want to send out the truth.

See you can see they are still all pissed on here... they say the "facts are out there" about Iraq.. .and then they cite a bias blog that has no links to any real facts... \n\nThey say we have no plans... yet Clinton balanced the budget and was close to to making real progress on the debt (which they say was because of a Republican congress, but oh the democratic congress didn't have anything to do with the success in the 80s?)... \n\nnow they are getting close to doubling the debt and Iraq is in shambles and WE have no plans? \n\nIn short... they cite blogs, we site stats... then they get mad when we don't believe the blogs and then they won't talk about stats... \n\nThey think Rush is telling the truth, with no evidence... we like evidence and links... \n\nThey are mad because that's all they have left... it's all they can do... they try to encite fear with "they are dangerous to this country"... look back in history... sound familiar?\n\nmymadsky: Kerry had a VERY DETAILED PLATFORM that dealt with many of these issues... perhaps you should pay attention... I don't see Bush's plan anywhere.... who has the plan again?
