Wow, Republicans can't stop telling the truth despite themselves. Paul Burgess, former White House Speechwriter.
I hate the Democrats who, in support of this strategy, spout lie after lie: that the president knew in advance there were no WMD in Iraq; that he lied to Congress to gain its support for military action; that he pushed for the democratization of Iraq only after the failure to find WMD; that he was a unilateralist and that the coalition was a fraud; that he shunned diplomacy in favor of war.
Paul, all of that is true. You are either duplicitous, or involved in some sort of cognitive dissonance phenomenon. Real events will shake you out of that. Hate back to you brother. We share one weakness. But inability to accept the truth? You're the only one with that problem.
Dick Armey:
Where did the revolution go astray? How did we go from the big ideas and vision of 1994 to the cheap political point-scoring on meaningless wedge issues of today -- from passing welfare reform and limited government to banning horsemeat and same-sex marriage?
The answer is simple: Republican lawmakers forgot the party's principles, became enamored with power and position, and began putting politics over policy. Now, the Democrats are reaping the rewards of our neglect -- and we have no one to blame but ourselves.
Ok, that last one was intentional. But it still was truth.
