Did most you just become politically aware? After the last eight years of sometimes questionable leadership from the Bush White House, the lot of you are suddenly concerned about issues that should have been voiced years ago?
It’s both puzzling and mind-boggling. Republicans that didn’t have a care in the world for budget deficits and national debts are suddenly declaring themselves “fiscally conservative.” And a mince-wording President Bush is suddenly forgotten, while a right-wing debate swirls around Obama’s defense – angry or joking? – about his ears.
It’s absurd, and a sort of “prolefeed” offered up instead of debate on more substantial issues.
I mean – really – Obama’s ears?
Some of the posters here have made some questionable statements as well. For example, AlexinCT said:
“Remember the left, like every other vile entity on this planet, believes that the end justifies the means.”
Hmmm, unlike the Bush administration that “fixed the facts” in its push to invade Iraq? Many Americans feel that the right-wing and Republicans believe that the “end justifies the means as well.” That supporting cocaine-dealing Nicaragua Contras is fine as long as they oppose a socialist Sandinista regime. That supporting a dictator in Saddam is fine, as long as he oppose an Islamic Iran. That misleading the US public isn’t an issue, as long as it fits the need to invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam.
Do you really believe that it’s the Left which believes that the end justifies the means? I would argue against that particular belief.
The hypocrisy seething from the American Right is incredible.
