Chilly Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Rove, in a speech Wednesday evening to the New York state Conservative Party just a few miles north of Ground Zero, said, "Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." Conservatives, he said, "saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war." Is it possible that this country is just as extremely polarized as back in 1952 and this is leading to an environment in which both sides' leaders speak hyperbole on the issues due to the emoational nature of the country right now and to fire up their base?

They were too concerned about illicit sexual activity in the White House. Let's see who crawls out from under the rocks now. But I guess the answer to your question (from me) would be affirmative!

EC-Bills Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Sure they can. Stupidity knows no political boundries. Besides, they're not about to let themselves be upstaged by the Dems. In fact, I think I hear Bill Frist or Rick Santorum coming to the podium now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt care less in pointing fingers as who was to blame, and its time the MTV/CNN/Fox demographic stops falling for finger pointing! Finger pointing does no good at all- you solve the problem by fixing things, not by playing politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From first hand experience I can assure you that there really isn't a heck of a lot of interest within the beltway at fixing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those the Democrats that suddenly forgot that they concurred on getting rid of Saddam once Bush actually decided to do that? Easy to understand why they'd be frustrated when they were shown to people with no convictions of their supposed beliefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the republicans that are responsible for 9/11....nor is it the democrats- its the terrorists that did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 So you support an invasion of N. Korea or Iran or Syria? 366267[/snapback] Not North Korea, the implications of that would be way too big right now. As far as Syria goes, I definately would have supported that over a war in Iraq. I think Syria is a much bigger problem. Do I think we should support an invasion of Syria right now since we've gone into Iraq? Hell no. I think we should secure a free Iraq and see if democracy will spread, like this administration claims, while implementing a slow but powerful policy with Syria. You can make the same exact case for the invasion of Syria that Bush mdae with the invasion of Iraq, except that from everything I've read Syria is more relevant to the war on terror.
