The absurdity of the notion that the GOP supports soldiers
The same civilian command that lied to justify the invasion also implemented policies that ensured an insurgency. Who in their right mind would conclude that this sort of conduct is supportive of soldiers in Iraq?

IMO, the public is expected to accept the idea that the Bush crowd acted in good faith and everything that has happened in Iraq was inevitable. These talking points are idiotic. How is it possible that this garbage resonates at all?

1. This is only indirectly related, but relevant.
I overheard someone asking their date this in a parking lot last week (during the big eclipse).

"Is this a lunar eclipse or a solar eclipse?"

2. That's funny

Maybe that is part of the explanation.

It's sad that some people seem to confuse cheerleading for patriotism. At this point such conduct is akin to unconditional trust in government authority considering all the evidence that refutes the GOP's propaganda.

3. First, our MSM is republican, neo-con, but mostly CORPORATE.
The CORPORATION is the smartest entity alive. (not alive? )
Anyway, as long as financial interests support Republicans, much as a Vampire has always relied on the reliable sources of blood, then the MainStream Media will always favor the Republicans.
