19. As much as I agree with you...
Edited on Mon Sep-24-07 05:16 PM by Blue-Jay
There are just as many quotes from prominent Democrats. You can search in your RW emails and find many of them. Personally, I think that they were either looking to make a profit OR they were trying to score political points. (Likely, BOTH)

They were all wrong for various reasons, and to single out only the Republicans is disingenuous. Of course, there were a few congress-critters who spoke the truth, regardless of telling people what they thought what they wanted people to hear (post-9/11), but to cherry-pick Republican quotes is fucking weak, dude.

You've probably gotten several of the numerous RW emails that make the same point as your OP, only quoting Democrats, right? That was simplistic bullshit, as is your post. You, of all people, should know the difference between "What people NEED to hear" versus "What people WANT to hear".
