My uncle forwarded that one to me this morning.

pm, show me where he says the label: "military industrial complex". I never liked Eisenhower as a president anyway. while you may quote a speech from a president 50 years ago, its does nothing to deny the current context of the use of this label; its a hollow term oft repeated by liberals to scare people.

I was kind of glad to see this thread drop out of sight. It has sickened me to see the Democrats use the war as a political tool. Even if it is payback for the way Republicans needlessly attacked Clinton, it is not what Americans should be doing. I'm completely disgusted.

just the democrats?? come on bigwill....

dubya is basing his WHOLE platform on the war, and his so called, "war against terrorism". how can you not say he is doing the exact same thing you are accusing the democrats of doing.

i trust that you have conviction in what you are saying, but i think you allow your blinders to obscure your vision. like it or not, the war IS a political tool, for both sides. and expect the BS to get deeper and deeper from both sides leading up to tuesday morning.

one of my best friends(he's republican) have decided we are gonna have a vote party at his place. drink beer, play poker, cook some ribs, and just watch the future unfold before our eyes. sounds like a great time.

Are you kidding me!? Democrats using the war as a political tool? Bush's entire presidency - his entire platform - is the war. Without the war, Bush would have nothing to run on. Honestly I'm really wondering how you could actually make a statement like that and not see the hypocrisy in it.

Sure the Democrats are using the war as a political tool, but if you're sickened at them you should be far more sickened at the extent to which the Republicans are using the war as a political tool.

Riffman,

"Liberal" is a much more oft-used label used to scare people. Now who's eating his own words?

pm, I agree liberal is a label but I didn't want to be politically correct. It just takes too much typing. :/

I cannot control whether people think its a positive or negative label.

Speaking of negative labels...



This is a real clip from this video. Well, he's definitely human.

HERE's your political tool, BigWill. Link is to images of officially-endorsed mailings for the Bush/Cheney campaign.

This makes you sick, too, I hope.

bigjohn and Adam, you're both hopelessly wrong.
