Probabaly from the same cite that claims Republicans are willing to spend $87B on Iraqi citizens but none on their own.

Get real.

Just a sample of  two threads describing "He should have finished the job"


I could get more if I did the proper search:
"Why didn't the previous Bush SR. finish what he started 12 years ago?"

Should've finished the job 10 years ago.

At least the democrats would rather spend our money helping Americans in this country.


Democrats are interested in one thing....getting back in power.

I wonder what part of Bush's speeches you guys didn't understand when he warned after Sept. 11th of a long and protracted war which could last 3-5 years. Some of you act like this is a big suprise....especially the Democratic hopefuls.

Here is the quote you cited from the first link... It is from Skernsk, a Canadian. (Not exactly a Dem now is he?)

In reality, Republicans have no qualms about spending, any more than Democrats do. They just differ on which country's citizens should take priority.


You're comparing apples and oranges and you can't tell the difference.

Ok banana...we are all listening....what is your solution for the current Iraq....or can you just throw stones from behind your puter?

Desperation is showing up in all forms. Its funny to watch. :)  I might add that I think Bush might give them back their power by his own blunders...but spending money on Iraq won't be one of them.

Interesting. It seems strange that whenever post-WW2 rebuilding of Europe is mentioned, the 'altruistic freebie' angle, coupled with a 'you still owe us big style' spin is the EXACT set of arguments pulled out of the hat by a large number of Americans on this board. Yet now there was a net 'gain'? Is that conclusion the result of new research or is it simply a convenience thing?


It's called the truth of the matter Dowding, whether you find it pallitable or not is moot.

So,

Skernk, (a Canadian)
Gofaster - (A known Dem symp.)
Ripsnort - (A centrist vote the issues only Dem)

These are the "same Dems" you were talking about?

You're right. The inconsistency, as I described, is glaringly obvious.

Rude, I never said I disagreed with spending money on rebuilding Iraq. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of many(not all) republiclowns on this BBS who go nuts whenever democrats try to spend money on improving the living conditions of all Americans.

If I had the time, I could dredge up a multitude of threads of various republiclowns calling foul when democrats try to send social reform or health care legislation through congress. These reactionaries get furious when the US government tries to spend our tax dollars on the people of the US.

But, when our president institutes a massive, and I do mean massive, spending program on a foreign country....they have no problem whatsoever.

That, my friend, is not comparing apples to oranges. It's comparing apples to apples, and I'm right and it makes you angry.

Sorry, but the truth hurts sometimes, as Rip was kind enough to mention earlier.

Gofaster said it too. (not exactly conservative) Skernsk leans left if you've paid attention to his posts in the past. Thats not a "bad" thing, its just an observation.

As far as me saying it, that wasn't the discussion nor the point of the arguement (neither of which you understand, but hey, you're a liberal Californian, understandable)
