Requirements for Democratic Presidential Candidate

**dg806** · 02-14-2007, 05:38 PM

Announce a date by which U.S. forces in Iraq should surrender and withdraw, and you're officially a Democratic candidate for president.

What are the Republican reqs.?

" Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war"

While the rest of the US say's in unison:
"That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial."

Alternatively, you can do the Democrat thing and do shit about people attacks against the US aboard. Appear so spineless that they launch an attack on US soil and kill 3000 people in minutes.

Yeah...

min0 lee · 02-14-2007, 07:17 PM

Well the current republicans suck ass, you can put a rose on shit but it's still going to smell like shit.

No doubt, he's a cut above the rest. I think Slick Willie was even better. He's responsible for the deaths of 3000 people and there are still a bunch of fucking morons that think he was a good president.

Working hard for that "Dumb fuck of the year" award, eh, BigDyl?

It happened less than 6 months after his term was over, but most (perhaps all) of the attacks, and the failure to adequately respond to them, that led up to 9/11 happened on Slick Willie's watch.

It's the same thing that happened with the economy.

I guess Slick Willie is responsible for the 3000 deaths in iraq also?

Both parties are carefully playing this out.

Sadly, politics has overtaken many of the decisions on Iraq, now.

There are huge elections coming in 19 months. And remember, not just for Prez, but for 1/3 of the Senate, and a lot of House seats.

The dilemma for both parties:

They cannot do what needs to be done military to stabalize the Al-Maliki coalition government.

But if the U.S. withdraws those who support withdrawing will be blamed for losing, or giving up.

Politicians of both parties are stuck in a rock and a hard place.

The funny thing is, certain uber conservatives keep bringing up 9/11 and the word spineless.

Are democrat's spineless for not wanting to get involved in a war that never shouldve happened? Or are we retarded because we will finally accept that Iraq and 9/11 arent related??

Also, conservative British PM Chamberlain's "spineless" politics were a catalyst for WW2, while FDR's liberal politics arguably saved democracy in Europe.

Sadly, half the people who will participate in this thread won't honor my point, or anyone else's.

You're confused. The attacks during Clinton's administration predate both 9/11 and GWB's war in Iraq; but don't let that stop you from a senseless line of questioning.

You're trying to compare the modern groups of Republicans and Democrats to their predecessors from over 60 years ago? And with those from another political group in another country, also from over 60 years ago?

Good luck with that.

Then how does the original attack during Clinton's presidency differ at all from GWB's presidential terrorism attacks? "Fools repeat mistakes, the intelligent learn from their mistakes, and the wise learn from other's mistakes." Sounds like GWB might be the former to me.

I brought up FDR because his politics were ahead of his time by a large, large margin, and dont vary much from today's political scene. Widely considered to be one of the greatest leaders of all time, I don't consider him spineless. You may, blindly b/c of his title of a democrat, but I don't.

"Are democrat's spineless for not wanting to get involved in a war that never shouldve happened?"

They are spineless for backing the Iraq war when it was politically advantageous to do so and then condemning it as Bush's war, as polls changed.

I have to agree with you on this one, they were riding the wave to get votes and now the tide has turned.........
