The Republican presidential debate last night had NBC anchorman Brian Williams asked all the candidates "whether or not the invasion of Iraq was worth the loss of lives and treasure?"
Born-again Christian Mike Huckabee answered that it was worth it, and "that Iraq probably did have weapons of mass destruction" giving as an example that "if you haven't found all the easter eggs, doesn't mean that the eggs haven't been planted."
Only the guy that doesn't believe in evolution and ignores the geological evidence that proves the earth is older than 6,000 years old, would be the lone guy to believe that Saddam Hussein had weapons of the even five years of occupation where our guys have looked in every nook and cranny of Mesopotamia and couldn't find them. Only Huckabee could believe that despite all evidence proving otherwise that either our Armed Services are incompetent (which I do not believe) or Saddam Hussein is the world's greatest illusionist. Its same sort of conservative idiocy that thinks John Kerry didn't deserve any medals while he was serving in Vietnam (possibly because Republicans believed the Nixon Pentagon handed them out like candy) that can see things that aren't there . Idioacracy that has put Bush into the Whitehouse, that allows fairytale believing idiots to control the GOP, and is central to Mike Huckabee's presidential run; needs to be stomped out.
Competency within our government depends on a strong attachment to reality. I obviously would never vote for Huckabee, or Bush or any other looney right wing-nut, but I am mature enough to realize that not every candidate I vote for will win so the important thing is that the loyal opposition should be at least be fact-based. If have people in charge that are faith-based that could care less about the results of their policy (infrastructure failings in New Orleans and Minneapolis, invading a foreign country because of a gut feeling, trickle-down economics while believing greed is good) we will all suffer under their rule as we have seen with current Bush administration.
We have to be ashamed of ourselves if Obama loses!
ReplyDeleteAfter mainstream democrats and republican joined forces to take the lead and momentum from Howard Dean you have to be blind to see the same thing is happening to Obama.
Obama has won most delegates in Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina. It means Clinton really did not win any states until now. The only reason she is leading the delegate count is a phony super delegate coup against Obama from mainstream lobby funded democrats.
I send this open letter to progressive democrats to wake up. Do not let the big corporations steel this chance to change Washington politics. Wake up and organize for Obama! It might be our last chance. Mainstream politics getting stronger and stronger and progressive America Is getting weaker and weaker.
If this continues election after election, one day they will go for a kill!
