Kerry's whole platform in 2004 was "Bush is wrong", offering no alternative.


that's not true. in fact i bet if serious research was done you'd find more on bush saying "flip flop" than offering real solutions (to his own problems). kerry had tax strategies, he had plans for iraq. and the fact is that the party without power always has to "whine" as you say for change.
the republicans bitched during the 90's.

It's looking like the Democrat alternative in 2008 will be the same. No better alternatives, just divisive whining that weakens our country, with constant threats to withdraw our troops prematurely.


how the hell does political debate hurt our country? if anything it proves the freedom is still holding. the only way you can say that the debate hurts the "fight" is if the soldiers are so emotionally timid that they can't stand to hear anything bad about their commanders.

Again, if liberals had the same rhetoric during World War II, whining about failure and pressing for withdrawal after every minor setback, we would have lost W W II.


people want withdrawl because its a mess we went into half assed and our continued presence only encourages the insurgents.

Bow ties are coool.
