The biggest thing that bothers me right now is for months the Bush campaign has taken a line from the Democratic primaries and used it as a slogan for their re-election.
It is amazing the only thing the President of the United States has going for him in this election is the idea that his challenger shifts positions.
Are there really people out there...
Who can say they have not changed their mind on important professional and/or personal matters.
Are there really conservatives out there,
That admire people who will not admit when they are wrong?
That admire someone who will not take responsibility, or make a retraction when they have publicized false and inaccurates as fact?(No I'm not talking about Dan Rather, he's admitted his mistake)
Let me say now, I have never supported the war in Iraq.
I remember vividly discussing this with a conservative "evangelical Christian" co-worker back home in Little Rock, AR back in late 2002 and early 2003 during the arms inspections and debates leading up to the war.
I told her then, (of course she was for the war) and will say it now, "We were gonna go to war with Iraq whether the American people wanted it or not. I do not trust the President."
I shared with her that I was suspicious, (well to put it bluntly "I don't believe that shit") of the intelligence reports that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction".
I don't know why it is so difficult for some people to believe that government agencies under the direction of the President of the United States have and will commit crimes and lie to the people(Watergate).
The war, which we know now, there wasn't a chance in hell there would be a war with Iraq, we actually went to war in(not with) Iraq. I believe the President knew Saddam was not capable of a war against the United States. He thought it was going to be an easy win and that there would not be any opposition to US occupation.
I believe he did not plan and was not prepared for the insurgency. And make no doubt about it, there will be a civil war in Iraq.
Tonights debate did not move me. I was pretty much decided after it was confirmed that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction.
We find out that even scientists that led Iraqs nuclear weapons research program admit that Saddam's program has been disarmed since as early as 1991.

I did not want to be right about the weapons being some made up justification for the war.
The conservatives spin these scientists like Jafar Dhia Jafar as their see, he did too have weapons guy.
DUH!?
Since you're gonna be too much of a wimp to say it, I'll say it for you, Saddam was not a THREAT!!!
Mr. President, would you and your spin masters please stop spinning the subject of the campaign away from your failed domestic policies? The state of economy needs addressing.
