Re: Connect the Dots . .Saddam & UBL
Thanks, Rolmops, and I do understand your frustration.<br /><br />There seems to be a bunch of people that are in simple denial of reality.<br /><br />It seems the worse the situation is getting in Iraq, the better we are doing.<br /><br />The more dangerous the situation gets in North Korea, or Iran, the better we are doing.<br /><br />We still went after Saddam because of 9/11, even though virtually everyone admits he had nothing to do with it.<br /><br />And the Repubs seemingly still can't understand the most basic concepts, like how you could vote for a war authorization, and be against the way the war was handled.<br /><br />It's all so simple--just like any union negotiation, for example, they always go for a strike authorization vote before entering negotiations--Not because they want or expect to go on strike, necessarily, but because you cannot go into negotiations with no bullets in your gun, and expect to get anything in return.<br /><br />Why can't they understand such a simple concept?<br /><br />And now we hear on this board that 1000 kids is not that many really, and what's my problem? <br /><br />They can't *really* believe that, can they? <br /><br />And then you get responses like DD, who suggests I want to shut down american hiways, and ban vehicles? Where did that come from, and what does it have to do with anything? Or some other pretend liberal position that they make up that is ridiculous just so they have something to argue against where they can prevail.<br /><br />This tactic of the right in inventing some sort of alternate reality that makes no sense whatsoever, and it is very frustrating, as it is important to discuss what happens in this world-and not some Alice in Wonderland world where they seem to be locked into.<br /><br />And I agree, Rolmops. I do hope the voters are not as gullible and dense as the Republicans seem to think they are.
