Showing Original Post only (View all)New GOP talking point: it was the Democrats who lied us into war with Iraq [View all]
I've been hearing this a lot lately. That Clinton and Kerry were the ones who were all hot and horny for war and forced Bush to invade Iraq. That it was the Democrats who told everyone that Saddam was behind 9/11 and had WMDs.
My response: Don't try to weasel out of this, you impossible hypocrites! 10 years ago, you guys were salivating at the prospect of killing a few thousand brown people because "they're all gonna grow up to be terrorists anyway", calling anyone who opposed the war an un-American traitor, and demanding that they leave the country. I remember it like it was yesterday! Iraq was YOUR war, Republicans! YOU were the ones who were claiming that Saddam was behind 9/11 and was planning to nuke us! YOU were the ones who came up with immature concepts like "freedom fries" and burned Dixie Chicks CDs because they dared to speak ill of your idol Bush! YOU were the ones who bullied Hillary and other Democrats to vote for the war out of fear of being "Dixie Chicked"! It was YOUR war Republicans, not ours! Stand up and own it!
My god, these people have no shame. Next they'll be saying that the Democrats forced Cheney to shoot his friend in the face.
