Funny things you hear from people who claim to be independents, you know?

Independent. That's right, PD. Sorry if I'm disagreeing with your latest conspiracy theory. Not everything in America happens as a result of evil Republicans in secret meetings.
My post could not have been more balanced, PD. Every sentence is prefaced with commentary such as "Many have suggested" and "If Washington is not bluffing". You are so biased you couldn't see the truth if it smacked in ya in the face. I mean come on, all this talk about what "this administration" WOULD do if it could get away from it is lifted right off the Communist conspiracy websites. Pinky got yer brain? Glad you can read minds, Obi Wan.
What is the point? I think people overreact to nearly everything and much of the anti-Republican sentiment is as ill-founded as the anti-Clinton bashing was. Do I remember correctly that Republicans a few years ago were against Clinton's bombing of Iraq? Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe someone was paying more attention that I. I was heavily sedated that year and under the influence of many terrible drugs. Now the Democrats OPPOSE military action against Iraq?
Reading Clinton's statements from 1998 is like reading Bush's from 2002:
"PRESIDENT CLINTON HAS MADE AN APPEAL TO IRAQI LEADER SADDAM HUSSEIN TO ALLOW U-N WEAPONS INSPECTIONS TO GO FORWARD AND ELIMINATE THE NEED OF U-S-LED MILITARY ACTION. HE ALSO SAYS RUSSIAN OPPOSITION TO A MILITARY MOVE WILL NOT STOP THE UNITED STATES FROM ACTING. V-O-A'S DAVID GOLLUST HAS DETAILS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
MR. CLINTON SAYS HE WANTS A DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION TO THE CRISIS AND HAS "BENT OVER BACKWARDS" TO TRY TO ACHIEVE ONE. HE SAYS IF THERE HAS TO BE MILITARY ACTION AGAINST IRAQ, IT WILL BE SADDAM HUSSEIN'S DECISION, NOT HIS. "
Clinton's speeches at the time said this was "Iraq's last chance". Well, so what? Was it the "last chance"? Now what? Was that Bush or Clinton speaking in 1998 anyway? Maybe George was already in power at the time working clandestinely though various channels to brainwash Dear Bill while he was distracted by other domestic issues. Maybe George made him say such "Republican-like" things. The Puppet Master. The Great Orchestrator. Long live George Bush!
America is not going to disappear simply because the Democrats are not in power, PD. And when the Democrats get back in the White House, the US won't turn into a communist dictatorship either. Balance is what America is about. It has been. It is. Times change. Platforms change. The parties change. Would Abe Lincoln be a Republican today? Good question. America goes on, baby. 2002 and going strong.
For all I know, the Republicans will be pro-welfare in 2016. Won't matter. People are more loyal to their political parties than they are to America. Thats been true for a long time. Probably since the founding of the country though I am unsure about how to measure that. Seems to me Democrats today are hoping for the economy to tank so they can get the White House back. It's not worth it.
Not pro-Democrat. Not pro-Republican. I think things are pretty damned ok almost all of the time. This is America and it is awesome. Why? Largely because of a system of checks and balances that is very much alive and well. Bill Clinton was alright with me and so is George Bush.
Just relax, PD. The Republicans are not secretly seizing power so they can spy through your windows at night and force you at gunpoint to take an oath to God and Country before burning brown people on crosses on the White House lawn.
