| 65. Well that explains why some of the arguments heard in this site |
|
Edited on Wed May-11-11 03:07 PM by liberation
are almost verbatim to the stuff the GOP supporters were uttering in the first half of the decade, if you substitute the "need to invade Iraq" for "the bombing of Libya," and "the hanging of Saddam" for "the killing of OBL."
I assume that either those so-called "moderates" are very mobile in their political affiliation and naming, or maybe just maybe there really is not that much difference between the two major political parties in this country, not just at a policy-level but from a membership standpoint.
In any case, It has been a remarkable experience to read people in this forum advocate turning Pakistan into a parking lot recently, for example.
