This is politics. The Republicans did it to Clinton and many talking heads (Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.) made much money as Clinton-bashers.
OK... now for some preaching from Uncle Andy:
This is a good thread. Let's keep it that way. It is healthy to debate these issues, but we all need to keep the debate "above the belt". I probably should not have posted a thread to an outside source, but I only did that because I already stated my position waaay back in this thread.
Personally, I wish that we would not simply debate the Iraq issue here. I am more interested in "what makes people tick" and "why" they lean right or left. I lean right because of my upbringing, family history and background, and my life-long desire to be self-dependant and self-reliant. If I want to give to a charity (which I do), I want it to be a organization of my choice, not the government's. Do I believe in hand-outs? yes. But, I want to decide on where to hand out my money.
It is great to see people writing what they believe in, with conviction. I am all for that. For example, the previous post by Erica Young is a wonderful post about her convictions with protecting the environment. That is outstanding.
For the rest of you (and I) - just be careful to show some respect for each other. I am smart enough to know that I simply do not know all of the answers, and have no knowledge of "ultimate truth" - and neither do any of you. Figure out "what makes you tick" and defend your priciples... but also respect your fellow CD poster.
You are now free to go back to this political debate.
