IMHO you are misinformed. It was never proven that Bush actually lied about Iraq or let me say that the UK and many other countries had the same reports we did that Saddam had WMD's even Bill Clinton brought it up in a speech in the late 90's. Keep in mind I wish we hadn't gone in and pushed regime change however being a realist that I am it was unavoidable, sooner or later we were headed back to Iraq but it should've been the type of operation that Bush 41 did.
Dubya didn't just snap his fingers, click his heels, and send the military into Iraq all by himself. Congress and the UN also got on board. WMDs were definitely overhyped as the big reason to go in, but it was by far not the only reason. (AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ) (United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441) And if you're talking about the leaking of Valerie Plame's name, that was Richard Armitage, not Dick Cheney. (Armitage On CIA Leak: 'I Screwed Up')
Give it time, Obama is new yet. It's not likely I'll ever agree with him 100%, but as long as he seems to be moving in the right direction, I certainly have no reason to want him to fail.
Of course, but state obligations picked up by stimulus money can free up state money for use elsewhere.
And which conservative philosophies are they? Spend more? These NEOCONs have no idea what a conservative is.
I dispute the claim that the philosophies of the last 8 years were conservative. You can call them Republican philosophies all you want, no one can dispute that. But you can't call them conservative. EDIT: Whoops... Rex beat me to it.
Sounds like some want to embrace conservatism when they like it and then say its not "Real" conservatism when it fails. They paint Democrats and Independents with the same "liberal" brush, but when all the Republicans get painted with the same "conservative" brush, they disavow it. Sure. :rolleye33:
