It's no different than the people who hated President Clinton.
Too bad, so sad. | He lied under oath about why we should go to war. He illegally wiretapped.

He did not illegally "wiretap". Are you so backwards that you don't know the difference between scanning numbers and wiretapping?
Besides, where's the legal proof to back up your blindly biased opinions?  |

And yes, he did illegally wiretap. He issued warantless wiretaps. Now it doesn't matter if this was used on a soccer mom or Ahab the Arab, its still illegal. Quote: |

| The Democrats who voted for the war weren't lying, they were ignorant. They weren't lies because they themselves were lied to and mislead by the President and his administration. And you're so quick to group all Democrats. There were Democrats (and some Republicans and the Independents) who voted Nay on the Iraq War Resolution.
Congress gets their information from the administration; they didn't lie, they were just spreading the false information that the white house issued. Now I agree that they definetly could have done more, because the "Nay" voters all recognized the complete rediculousness of the administration's claims of WMD's. I mean, they used an artist's rendition of what they think is going on in Iraq for proof.

If it's so damn easy to fool the dems, then maybe you should find better candidates with more smarts so you can't blame someone else all the time for being so damn dumb. |

In retrospect, I believe they BOTH may have been wrong. But they were BOTH wrong. Not one or the other.
This is why most of us are laughing our arses off at the liberals & Democrats who keep crying, "Bush lied about Iraq!" |

First of all, here comes your left-right paradigm creeping in again. First, I'm not a Democrat, and second, I'm not supporting any candidate that voted for the Iraq War.

The Bush administration cherry picked the evidence. Its as simple as that. They were lying. They had predetermined plans to take out Saddam, and they molded any evidence they could find to mislead America into the war. They even exploited 9/11, and the war on terror. If you don't find that sick then you're pretty messed up.
