Heaven forbid that the Democratic party question the Republican party. The horror! Pssst, this just in. Hot off the presses. Republicans distrust Democrats. Democrats distrust Republicans. Republicans will question everything the Democrats do, and the Democrats will question everything the Republicans do.
p.s. Noone is running against Bush, noone has to. He's doing a great job defeating himself as well as the Republican party. Go down with the ship though, it's very admirable of you.
OK, let's recap what I said versus your version of what I said. It is one thing to honestly question an administration and it's actions while presenting an alternative path. It is particularly relevant when you actually believe your criticisims. Reid and Kerry do neither of these. What they do is a concerted and dishonest smear campaign and they do this BECAUSE they have no legitimate alternative path.
They like to wave the "loyal opposition" flag but they are anything but loyal, as in loyal to the US. The Democrats go far beyond "questioning," they are the ultimate in contrarians, it doesn't matter what Bush says or does, it's wrong. If Bush came out and said the sky was blue these a**holes would call him a liar and the press would not only publish what the a**holes said as if it were legitimate and reasoned commentary but would dredge up some mouthpiece to explain why Bush only believes the sky is blue because his Daddy told him it was. The Dems have spent years making one outrageous claim after another regarding Bush. If this was not a public debate involving public officials they could and would have been sued successfully for both slander and liable because they know that what they say isn't true, it's malicious.
Here's what's even worse for them, any good news from the WOT is bad news for them and they know it. Why? Because they have proposed absolutely nothing except "vote for us, we're not Bush" and have come out against everything being done to win the war. They have tied the Democrat party to defeat in that victory in the war means defeat for them so they are not for victory, they are against it and they are against it for one reason and one reason only. To regain political power in the US.
Finally, there is a strong arguement that reasoned debate based upon facts is legitimate and necessary, especially in time of war and I agree with that. However, the vast majority of Democratic criticism is neither reasoned or fact based. It's the same crap as we heard during Hurricane Katrina. Bush hates blacks so he personnally blew up the levees and stopped FEMA and the National Guard from helping because he wanted to kill all of them. For the Democrats to continue to make such outrageous claims, outrageous claims that are repeated throughout the world is, in my opinion, traitorous. I loved it whan Hugo Chavez spoke at the UN and then pompous left wing American a**holes had the audacity to criticise him....why should they criticise him when he wasn't saying anything that they hadn't said themselves?
As far as going down with the ship...who's worse, the guy who stands up for what he believes or the a**wipes trying to sink the ship so that they may profit?
