Republicans have the Iraq war; Democrates have the "amnesty" both are the downfall of the USA?

Bush was the one wanting to give them amnesty, and he's the reason for the Iraq war, so by your reasoning, Bush is the downfall of the USA.

That would make the odds of Republicans keeping their power in the House and Senate actually worse, since I doubt the majority of this country wants us to start a third war when we can't even finish what we started in Afghanistan (the forgotten war) and Iraq.  So in short, I doubt the Republicans are that insane, though they keep surprising me on that front...

The Republicans are full of Chicken Hawks...War-mongers who never actually bothered to serve their country when they had a chance. And when Democratic war-vets run, like Kerry and Cleland run, the GOP is only too happy to diminish and/or mock their service. Yep, the Republicans are one class act.

The next elected President of the United States will be a Democrat. The people of America have finally seen through the propaganda and side show delivery of President Bush and his talking heads. The people have their eyes and ears open to the disaster in Iraq and the budget mess at home. The Republicans run all the major institutions in our government including congress, justice and the executive and can not avoid the responsibility that goes with bad if not disastrous leadership.

Right now the republicans are using scare tactics to try and hold their position.\n" If Democrats take over, they will withdraw from the war and make every American citizen a target or terror!!!"\nGive me a break.\nRegardless the political agenda, Americans will vote by what they want from the government, not what the government wants from them, even though it may not make a difference.\nJust watch what happens, and maybe you will agree it is time to change ALL of government, not just the persons in it.

The word conservate and liberal do not mean shit! Both parties have voted against the poor and working class. The GOP (grand overclass party) represents the rich and powerful more than the Democrates but their are many Repubo-crates out there too. \n\nBoth parties blow and Bush is the worst of them all!

Democracy like ours, no. A functioning, more free, and less hostile government than Saddams, yes. Civil war, no.

Lazy, uncritical thinkers make this comparison, but history will show otherwise. Many democracies have shaky starts, it just takes awhile for things to settle out. Germany was in a state of chaos for awhile after WW II - similar to what we are seeing in Iraq... Not all the Nazi sympathizers wanted to go quietly...\n\nFrom reading history, all the whining and bellyaching by liberals are just like all the anti-war, pro-slavery Democrats during the Civil War, who hated Lincoln and considered him the worst president this country ever had. They said that the war was not winnable, that we should look to make peace with the Confederacy and just leave them alone... Democrats and liberals think that being anti-war is some kind of great virtue. They would rather slink away with their tails betwixt their legs than stand up for what is right. Iraq will get it right, and will be a beacon of hope for the rest of the Middle East. \n\n2,500 soldiers killed is a steep price, and I salute their sacrifice and mourn their loss. They have not died in vain, and their sacrifices will help to build a more stable Iraq, which will lend itself to stabilizing the entire Middle East. The media and liberals (sorry, that was redundant) only want to focus on the negatives, so a lot of what has already been accomplished is being overlooked or ignored.\n\nHistory will record that George W. Bush made the right choice to invade Iraq, and the naysayers will continue to hate him regardless of the outcome.

The war was based on a lie.  So we got rid of Saddam.  Does this mean we have to overthrow every other dictator who abuses his own people too?  I think not.  There are some angry, angry people here who, like their Republican leaders, hate to hear the truth.  Listen to the bonehead who thinks all liberals should be shot and be afraid.  This is the kind of person who avidly supports the brain-dead George Bush and all he stands for.  Given the chance, these nuts will destroy our country.  God help us.

Republicans and Democrats in their endeavor to siphon off votes from each other have morphed to be virtually identical to each other. Hence the victory that the Democrats have enjoyed, though signaling a large distaste by the American citizenry for Republican incompetence and corruption, only ushered people into power who are only slightly better than their opposition. \n\nI do believe that the Democrats might expedite our withdrawal from Iraq, but I think they will still continue with many misguided notions that informed our decision, concerning the “War on Terror”, to invade Iraq in the first place

Here's what bothers me most:  Democrats and Republicans voted for this war .  We were tired of Saddam making a mockery out of the UN, its resolutions and inspections.  There were countries in the UN that were undermining the entire effort and making billions while Saddam was in power.\nWE wanted war to remove a serious threat.  But now that we've experienced it,  these same politicians act as if they knew better from the beginning.   The president and legislature acted out the will of the American people.  Bush shouldn't be blamed.

Republicans constantly use tactics such as these that appeal to the complete morons that vote for them.  The war in Iraq is costing the lives of Iraqis and American soldiers, and to compare it to abortion is disgusting and irresponsible.  Then again, these are republicans that we're talking about.

Maybe...I heard W on the radio this morning saying that the choice between republicans and democrats was the choice between fighting terrorists or giving up (letting them win)! Does anyone (even hard-core republicans) really believe that any American would just give up the fight against terrorists?\n\nIs anyone STUPID enough to fall for this nonsense? I understand the whole lowering taxes, anti-abortion, anti-gay message (although I don't agree with it), but come on. \n\nIf this war in Iraq was diminishing world terrorism, even slightly, maybe Americans would be behind it. Recent reports show that the Iraq war is actually encouraging more terrorism!\n\nW said that democrats view the war in Iraq as a distraction but the republicans know that the war is the front against terrorists. So since the democrats want to leave Iraq, they're against fighting terrorists! What flawed logic. I miss having an intelligent, articulate president who didn't embarrass me. I'd MUCH rather have John McCain (whose views I don't share) than W who I don't agree with but also makes Americans look like idiots to the rest of the world.

Democrats will now have to bare any failures in the war from this day forward on their shoulders.They will be a much different crowd . All those words are just that words.

If it's not Democrats, it's Republicans saying they are the scapegoat...after a while it becomes like grade-schoolers..\nThough I disagree widely with most of what liberals stand for...I do not wish for it's demise.  This would make the US virtually a one party system..and that is not the way democracy is supposed to work.

Yes it makes you wonder. All the Democrat leaders re opposed to the war, However only six of their senators voted to cut and run. They had a sizable amount in the US house defect as well.
