Well it would have been prudent to give the UN inspectors a little more time since they really didn't find anything. All for doing something based on intelligence but invading a country, removing it's governing body and military. Before you invade a country you need to be sure, very bad mistake and Cheney & Rumsfeld gave the president some very bad advice not to mention they were totally ignorant of the ethnic problems that would appear lacking Saddam Hussein.

Dick Cheney the man who said Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. The man who said:

The insurgency in Iraq is "in the last throes," Vice President Dick Cheney says, and he predicts that the fighting will end before the Bush administration leaves office


The proven lies that Dick Cheney had told, the deaths he and GWBush are responsible for lying us into a war in Iraq that has helped to destabilize large parts if the Middle East as predicted.

F. K Dick Cheney

Liberals will NEVER admit that fact, despite the weight of evidence over the last 5.5 years. What do they say?

1. He has been obstructed by republicans (gee....... they had both houses for the first two years. Essentially EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT has worked with divided houses.)

2. His policies did not go far enough (see the Chinese cultural revolution and/or great leap forward).

3. The "message" of liberalism is inherently true and sound- Obama was simply a bad messenger.


Libs truely believe the above three- ask them.

C'mon man!
Damn right I am and have good reason to be "pissed off at the world". You aren't? I'm not mad for me but for my kids as I see it all caving in on them and they aren't smart enought to see it................yet. They will.

I don't care what your post does about the border it won't matter neither will anything we do now. The floodgates are open and we are taking anyone and everyone and it's a fuggin joke. Our leaders, ALL of em, should be strung up. They only care about themselves. Why they shouldn't be in office IMO.

You can deny it, and I'm sure you will, but that's what your statement implies. Dream on.
I say exactly what I mean. We are still in Iraq and have no business being there.

The House has done nothing that you like. It has passed more than 40 job creation-related bills alone, but not the type you or Reid want. The difference is Reid prevents the Senate from voting on them and the others.

Default Obama is a catastrophe...

I've heard Conservatives say everything from "Obama is a catastrophe" to "Obama has RUINED the country" on here.

Except for the fact that my health insurance is more affordable, and that I make double the money I did six years ago, my life hasn't changed.

How has the Obama "catastrophe" and "ruins" he is leaving our country in effected you personally? It seems all of the people on CD who make these claims are, of course, gainfully employed in high paying professions.

I'm a little confused...

His social policy has seen mixed results. As you said, your health care is more affordable, but that wasn't the case for everyone. Spending is still out of control, despite that being one of his big selling points against Bush in 2008; the NSA and various blatant disregards to personal liberty that are given the excuse that its 'for our protection.' A mess of a foreign policy. Also a list of broken promises from 2008.

Did you know he claimed to require GMO foods to be labeled. Why then is the deputy commissioner of the FDA a former VP for Monanto, one of the largest, if not the largest, chemical companies behind the creation of GMO foods. Notice how GMO foods are not labeled, and based on this little find, probably never will be, at least not until Obama and other corrupt politicians are removed from the picture.

People dont have to lose their jobs to see the state of the country. I think the only thing note worthy in your post is highlighted. I guess you live under a rock and don't see the state of affairs in our country right now.

Simple than..learn to compete inside the Blue Wall. That means ditching social conservatism. Fiscal conservs who are socially moderate have a shot inside the BW.
