    As poverty rates have increased, oppression lies in wait under the guise of the 'patriot act', & 'war' exists under this moronic group of republicans, I'd say that the comment " Want Poverty, Oppression and War? Vote Republican!" is redundant. True, but redundant.

      I do believe it's true - but as unpopular as many may take it, I believe it's also true of the democrats.

      but, that's how I see it.

        When the democrats have power and show the same bent, then I will say the same. For the time being, I'll speak to the reality of the here and now.

          As facts show that poverty is up, as facts show that the patriot act gives undue power over citizens, and as we are involved in a war shown to be flawed in its inception, I'm curious as to why you disagree. Would appreciate your input.

          Bill Clinton reluctantly going into Kosovo after getting 100% backing from NATO, China and Russia... and not losing a soldier to enemy fire... while Blair had offered 150,000 ground troops as enticement... is vastly different than Bush lies to go to war to eliminate a guy who tried to Kill his daddy.
          Got any other proof that the Dems are as culpable... other than their being deceived by Dumya?
          Dems never hid energy meeting minutes or classified them to hide the truth of the roots of war for oil! Forget the most continous prosperity of the country under Clinton in spite of 7 years of near fruitless, repug instigated investigations of him? Forget that Clinton left office with a 65% approval rating in spite of the repug obstructionism?

          How infantile the analogy of voting Republican equals voting for war

          While Iraq 2 may have been a mistake George Herbeert WalkerBush gave us Iraq 1--would you rather not have gone in then and let Hussein rule the entire Mideast?and as to Afghanistan I don't believe there are many Democrats , certain Clinton, Biden, and Obama, that upported that war after 9/11. It seems like your whole case is you didn't like one war, Iraq II--which among wars in the 20th and 21st century while displaying savegery on all sides is still relatively small

          And while we are at it didn''t Wilson , a Democrat take us to war in WWI, FDR, a Democrat in WWII, Truman a Democrat in the Korean War, First Kennedy then Johnson in the Vietnam War and Clinton into Bosnia, Kosovo, and Somalia?

          I think your partisanship for what are undoubtedly socially driven ideology has caused you to grossly oversimplfy the history of foreign involvements

            Herbert had that preemptive war in Panama too! Remember the Herbert lie of having that Kuwaiti diplomat's daughter claim the hospital baby killings by Iraqis? Only party with presidential cabinet convictions in 3 different repug adminstrations (watergate, iran contra & Plamegate) and supports torture, preemptive war, unilateralism, gitmo, the loss of 8oo years of accepted western law, eavesdropping w/o a warrant... the list of evil, corrupt behavior is solely in the hands of the repugs!

            What a biased left wing bunch of stuff left behind from the south end of a north bound bull.

            Some facts since 1900

            WW1 President Wilson Democrat
            WW2 President Roosevelt Democrat
            Korea President Truman Democrat
            Viet Nam President Kennedy Democrat
            Bay of Pigs President Kenedy Democrat
            Grenada President Reagan Republican
            Panama President Reagan Republican
            Gulf War President Bush Republican
            Bosnia President Clinton Democrat
            Herzegovina President Clinton Democrat
            Afghanistan President Bush Republican
            Iraq President Bush Republican

            6 Democrat
            5 Republican

            This leave out the things like Blackhawk down and some missles that Clinton sent.

            Which party is the biggest warmonger. It looks like the Democrats have the lead.

              Don't forget Lebanon, Libya, and Nicaragua.

              And lumping WW1, WW2, and Korea in there is weak.

                Actually, World War I was an idiotic war we should have never been involved in that didn't involve the United States in the slightest.

                The best thing to come from it was the tearing apart of the old Empires.

                The worst thing to come from it was the Treaty of Versailles, foisted on Germany by European powers who wished to make them pay for the full cost of the war. This Treaty eventually led to World War 2 and Hitler.
