Why is it that mostly Republicans support this war?

Churchill says it best:\n\nThe statesman who yields to war fever...is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.\n\n~Sir Winston Churchill

Republicans and their kind Neocons, this includes the Bu$h family.\nThis includes Congress. No President and no Congress in the History of our great country has done more harm to the USA that I love as my country then this bunch has, that is fact.\nBTW, we have many very un-informed and un-educated people in our country, they would vote for Bu$h again if they could, they vote party not person. Hitler himself could run as a republican and they would vote for him and then say "Hile". These are the people who love war and love killing, they also love sending others to do the dirty work for them. They got the tax cuts and they have investments in defense contractors. Some also have nice Local, State or Federal jobs to protect. Money and Power is the name of the game for them and it rules their life. Do they care about the harm done to our Country, of course not.

Because the Republican party favors unrestrained capitalism and private citizens to look out for themselves, come Katrina or high water.\nGO BUSH \n- FAR  AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK!

well, the majority of them don't.  The chance of the exit polls being wrong in Florida, Pa, and Ohio is 16 million to one\n(they showed Kerry winning in a landslide) so the majority of Americans wanting Bush but the rep secretary of state in Ohio, and republican owned voting machines rigged it for Bush.\n\nThose that do vote for Bush tend to be religious right thinking the reps actually do something about abortion besides rhetoric and using it for votes and who forget the liberal teachings of Jesus substituting their own beliefs thinking they are being good Christians rather than hypocrites or sincere people who are misguided or not openminded, rich people, people who think they have a shot at the American dream, people who hate helping people with social programs, hypocrites, etc.  Some are moderate reps unhappy with the neocons but who can't bring themselves to vote for a liberal. Some are in the habit of it thinking today's reps are like those of old which they aren't.  Many of them hate the poor and are excessively into war and fear.

Its not just about money, some just want the status quo to continue, others want to see change happen for safety reasons.  Overall, people are just scared no matter what and war usually makes people think about their own mortality and how precious life can be.  Then there are those that believe in standing up and supporting the country that gave them freedoms that otherwise they wouldn't enjoy elsewhere.  I was anti-war while in high school but I ended up joining the Army and spent the best 5.5 years in my life.  I would do it again if I could.  But I learned also that those that have been to war, don't want it to happen again but they realize that sometimes war is the only answer, talking doesn't always solve it.

Phil, I was in Iraq.  Funny, I didn't see you there...  Democrats, Republicans....  Does it REALLY matter?  They're ALL over paid and underworked.  And they'll all promise to kiss you when they're done too.  I'm not a Republican, I'm a conservative.  I believe we should "Teach" those in need how to catch fish so that they will be able to eat for a lifetime, not just hand them one so that they can eat for today.  (in reference to government handouts like welfare)\nI believe in holding people accountable instead of holding their hand...\nI know the last Democrat to actually get us out of a war was Truman.  And it was only because of people like Churchill...  Incidently, he was also the last president to not have a college degree.\nAnd if being a Democrat is so high and mighty, then why were they the ones to support the institution of slavery in this country?  (Lincoln was a Republican)  Guess it kind of makes sense then that so many "minorities" in this country support an organization that went to war to try and continue to oppress them...    But wait, it occurs to me that welfare is still a form of slavery and opression... Duh.\nAm I the only one who finds it a little more than slightly disconcerting that the head of Al Qaeda in Iraq and the "President" of Iran both commended the American people for having voted in the Democrats?

Maybe because of Neo Conservative theories that your party follows.\nAfter all war insn't such a bad thing if you see it from different perspective, it can make lots of money ;)

I guess if we vote Republican we are approving the status quo of the country.  Rumsfeld stays on his job, more tax cut for the rich, more political corruption ans scandals we just "stay the course."

Because it is a well known fact that gays will never support the GOP, therefore they are exclude from its platform.  \nWar against Brown people? What war is that?  More and more African Americans are entering the GOP and the GOP is becoming more active in advancement of their cause.  Do you even know the make up of Bush's cabinet and top advisers.  He has appointed more minorities than any president in history).\nImmigration...what is the GOP stand vs Bush's? ( Do you even know that they are opposing? Do you know that Bush's policy is the same as the Liberal's (if not even MORE liberal)

YES . \n Most of these people supporting this war are incurably indoctrinated.\nThis war could easily been avoided entirely.\nThere was no justification for this neo conservative misadventure.

Excellent point.  It is probably because of hate of Republicans.

It's a great way to lose a mid-term.  If on 9/12 Bush had demanded the unconditional surrender of EVERYBODY, the Republicans wouldn't lose an election in this lifetime.  Instead we have to half-assed wars, unprecedented illegal (and legal) immigration, and record spending from the so called fiscal conservatives.

Because of Republicans

Some are very brain washed by TV and News Papers, these people are the ones who want to be spoon fed by (red furry) news.\nHisBushyness has a job approval of 34 percent. Also 70 percent are opposed to the port deal. A full 62 percent of Americans think Iraq was a mistake now. 55 million Americans voted for Kerry and Kerry won Ohio.

Because we don't support republicans and their Nazi like viewpoint.

Only extreme partisans completely support the agenda of one side or the other. The vast majority of the country are moderate. They may lean to one side or the other, but are still willing to cross lines in the name of good legislation.

I was in the Navy and I definately agree with you. I dont support any part of that war. We're over there trying to help a bunch of people that can't help themselves and they dont want our help. They aren't even our alis and there we are butting into their war. Telling them how to run their country. You dont see people coming over into our country and trying to fix our problems. We just have a stupid president and if anyone thinks that makes me unamerican, so be it. I know what I am and this is a free country w freedom of speech. I dont have to like everything about it.
