Who are the Democrats' enemies?

[Rightlane]

To Democrats, Bush Is The Enemy, Not Al Qaeda

To Democrats, their number one enemy is George W. Bush. Without an agenda to call their own or any sense of legitimacy or authority to talk about fighting terrorism, they've pretty much found themselves stuck with scandalmongering and blasting our President.

It's revealing that the Republican message is about fighting the war on terror, and the Democrat message is about George W. Bush. It's quite obvious they hate Bush more than they hate Osama bin Laden or Al Qaeda.

how true this prediction was!

I predict, for Democrats, it's revenge time - investigations are coming but they will never satiate the Left, who believe Bush is the enemy, not radical Muslims.

I think this thread is kind of ironic that after 9-11 Republicans equated democrats as siding with the enemy, questioned the democrats patriotism for standing up against Bush for his rush to attack Iraq, and somehow tried to convince the population that gays were a threat to our society. Yes the terrorists are a threat to our physical well being but Bush and company were actually trying to take away our basic freedoms in the name of fighting terrorism.

Interesting C&P job........now how about some discussion?

Can you give me some examples of scandalmongering?

[Labrocca]

Great image and fairly accurate imho.

I don't know if it's easy to pinpoint either the Democrat Party or the Republican Party as actually attacking the other side. I believe it's their base that does this by proxy. It's hardliners and extremists that do the most damage..people like Ann Coulter or organizations like MoveOn. It's just so digusting actually and counter-productive.

It's becoming more and more clear that the 2 parties are just 2 sides of the same coin.

Dems won the past election based on accountability and ending the war the Republicans started. They certainly used the Republican scandals to further their own agenda then once in power have not followed through.

I would love to know what the agenda of the Democrats truly is if not to unseat the Republicans..but then what? What's their platform? Kerry ran on a "I am not Bush" platform and it failed. The lessons the Democrats learned...attack smaller fish and make the pond look spoiled.

btw..go to any democrat/liberal site and search the text for Bush...incredibly obvious how they are attacking him on a daily basis.

Oh and found this image on the GOP.com site. Proves my point they both behave the same way.

If that's not the GOP claiming these Dems as the enemy I don't know what does. Sort of blows your assertion out of the water ehh.

[ViolaLee]

Cheney and Bush said in 2004, if you vote for a Democrat we will get hit again.

And now the Republicans are claiming the Democrats have the wrong enemy?

Too funny. Such hypocrites.

You may not have noticed the Hu Jintao picture there, as if republicans and the administration would never consider doing business with China.

It's just a cut and paste hit piece. Replace the bottom with pics of Hillary, Carter, Gore and a random gay guy and you got the same thing for republicans.

WALMART!

Sorry, but you are incorrect, and for you not to see this, makes it even more sad...

[genraidar]

GWB and terrorists are enemies. Only the Ron Paul type people seem to have their priorities pretty straightened out.

[tony mitra]

It is only in the past few years, after 9/11 happened, and the concept of a perpetual war on terror seeped into the collective psyche of people, that I began to consciously separate what goes in the USA as political squabbling between Democrats and Republicans on one side, and a far more subtle and fundamental power play involving some hard boiled neo-con think tanks combining forces with the big corporations and the military industrial complex loosely within the constitutional functions of a Government, that has a global aim and an agenda.

While the issue is still far from clear, it looks increasingly certain that a straight forward change of player or change of party in power such as Democrats getting to the White House, is not going to change the course of events set in motion, and that the extent and reach of the system overlaps all parts of the mainstream, including the political parties, the media, the big corporations and the armed forces.

The issue is still murky and clear thinking analysis is only beginning to trickle in, in bits and pieces. The high volume debates that usually leads a reader down the partisan paths often inadvertently manage to confuse and sidetrack the efforts to find the deep and root causes of the friction. Nonetheless, it appears almost certain that, as the forces gather on one side to bring the world back to a notion of a perpetual war towards some specific geopolitical goal, there will be other forces internationally, that will likewise coalesce to eventually challenge this yet not fully defined neo-con agenda. Terrorism has nothing much to do with it, except that the timing of 9/11 and the efforts of the terrorists did provide an opportunity, and a handle, that would prove useful for furthering this agenda.

That the American public too will eventually go against it, and refuse to support it either financially, or in blood, or ideologically, is also certain.

What is not certain is the details of how it came about, who all are into it, how it has crossed a certain point of no return so that the reversal of the process would be far longer and painful than it was necessary. It is almost similar to the times before 1914 when Europe, full of enlightened and progressive leaders, slowly but inexorably drew their respective nations, and the rest of the world, into a global conflict that was, in the end, wholly avoidable and proved unproductive towards pushing any particular agenda. If anything, the first global war originated in Europe, and ended up reducing the function and role of Europe in the future of global affairs.

Cheers and have a good one.

[preservanation]

You forgot Walmart.

[Deadshot]

Do you really believe that we want to imprison or wish the death of Ann Coulter, Rush, our POTUS? Do you really believe that we don't want Kim & Bin Laden punished and/or dead? Do you really believe that we don't want dictators like Chavez, Castro and others toppled by their own people?

It statements of ignorance, like yours, that make the Red vs. Blue more then a "sports-like" rivaliry and turn it nasty.

[preservanation]

Yes I do believe some libs want all that, as well as defend America's enemies.
You only have to look on many many sites and blogs to see this.
The editor of the Daily KOS wished death upon Tony Snowe after his cancer diagnosis. Now that guy is writing for Newsweek or some such.
Over the top vitriol and hate is quickly becoming the left's calling card.

Unfortunately, sane and respectful liberals, like most on this forum are being tarnished by the far left and their extremely distasteful comments and beliefs.
Sleep with the bull and expect to get gored.
In your case the bull has barged his way into your bedroom and forced his way under the sheets
The best thing the Dems could do is dump the Soros wing of their party, but they can't because of the money and the threat of public disembowelment if they dare to cross them.
An unenviable position to be in, for sure.

There are nutballs on both sides of the field. I recall hearing from many conservatives that we should just deport all the Muslims in America or kill them. Should I take them as a whole?

As for imprisonment, I have heard lots of "Un-American" and "Terrorist Supporter" comments from conservatives describing liberals against the war in Iraq. Are they your voice as well? Do you believe that anyone against this war is a terrorist supporter now too? Maybe that is mainstream conservatism if you believe in that.

You talk about being the left being tarnished by its leaders, look at you conservatives and those supposidly representing you in congress. They have also tarnished what a conservative is.

Maybe you should break your chains and vote independent since they betrayed your confidence? O

[preservanation]

Maybe you should break your chains and vote independent since they betrayed your confidence? O Sure, El.
I'll get right on that!
Who's the independent candidate again?
I want to send him/her a big fat check.

Nice try

BTW, you're right, I do feel a bit betrayed by my representative in Washington but they paid for it in '06. Maybe they learned something.
But there is a difference between elected officials on Capital Hill getting caught up in the beltway and big gov think, and then being threatened with ouster, and that of an unelected group of well funded absolute crazy people running the Dem party like the Soros groups are.
