Why is it that republicans lack such basic understanding of the government? .

[Peach]

OMG, what a bunch of horseshit. Yes, Iraq was a stupid unnecessary war. Yes, the intel was bad. Yes, everyone believed the bad intel.

no, Bush did not make it up, both parties authorized and funded that fiasco and continue to do it today.

Get over the partisan lies and face the truth----------they are all liable, they are all incompetent, they are all wasting our hard earned money, they are all putting us at risk of being blown up by radical terrorists, they are all guilty of leaving our borders open.

Until you fools get off the partisan bullshit wagon, nothing will change.

This isn't partisan, Bush wanted war with Iraq, Cheney at least was smart enough to know the intel was fudged; TIME reported on it in 2002. And yes, all those who voted for the war should have demanded proof before sending US troops to die, and be maimed.

your version of history is interesting, but wrong. EVERYONE believed the bad intel, the UN, the EU, UK, France, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Italy, Poland, Russia. Are you really trying to claim that Bush was such a great orator and campaigner that he convinced the entire world to believe a lie?

No, few joined the "coalition of the WILLING"; UN inspectors found no evidence were still working on it; some of our allies stuck by the US, that deception will hurt us for decades.

Why can't republicans ever clearly define what they mean by "limited government"? What purpose should it serve?

I mean some republicans are so dumb that their logic is like that of a caveman: "gubmint and taxes bad, freedom good! Derp derp derp!"

Right of course how silly for the rest of us to assume republicans are smart enough to understand the importance of investing in things like science and infrastructure and the revenue needed to pay for it?

How silly for us to assume republicans are smart enough to understand the danger of having the private market having full control over our healthcare system? Do they even wonder why WHO ranks our healthcare as being the worst for a first world nation? Having state of the art healthcare technology means jack shit if poor people can't afford basic cancer treatment.

Why is it that republicans in power refuse to provide fire disaster relief to the west yet they are perfectly content giving Israel a pointless 3 billion a year? Talk about fostering dependence! Israel would be the most powerful nation in the Middle East with or without it.

Why is it that republicans say liberals and democrats foster a dependence mentality in this country when it is liberals who understand the importance of income tax? Surely such lazy parasites like the leftwing wouldn't want to pay taxes!

Why is it that no liberal democrat who has ever been in power has said jobs are not important? That we should all be parasites? Why is it that 2x more private jobs were created in Obama's first 5 years than in all of Bush's 8? Surely the economy would have collapsed by now.

Smarter than socialist dimwited libtards.

Americans are stupid, and the GOP counts on it. The Teabaggers don't even count on it, they aren't that smart.

Smarter than you and any stupid libtard you lowlife commie idiot.

Republicans won't define what they mean by limited government because they would lose support either from the most conservative or most liberal elements of the party. It serves their purpose to allow supporters to apply their own definition. To a teabagger it can mean abolishing most of the federal government. To the Rhino it can mean reducing the deficit.

Limited government = lower taxes, more individual liberty and greater economic prosperity. Block grants to the states. Provide nation defense, give rest of money to states for almost everything else. Slash federal government by over 50% in 12 months. Tell Democrat hired bureaucrats to go home and cable news will have nothing to report on from Washington desk. Slash, I repeat,slash the threat to liberty known as the federal government.

 

[Bush92]

Democrats don't care about jobs. They are moved by "marriage equality." Get it out of your head that Dem's are. Foe the "working man." They are about perpetuating the federal beauracracy that hires Democrats, or sons of Democrats, or politically connected Democrats.

Obama's apology tour did more damage than you realize.

 

[AmericanFirst]

What exactly is the lie? Be specific.

the title of your thread. The basics of our government is the constitution and the statutes passed by congress and signed into law by a president. Republicans and conservatives understand those basic concepts very well. Its you on the left who do not get it.

marxist collectivism is NOT the basics of the US government, even though you and obama think it is.

Um no neither me or Obama are Marxist. Tell me if Obama is a Marxist, why is he worth 9 million? Surely he wouldn't have accepted such a fortune

He is a hypocrite like most libtarded marxists.

 

[Stephanie]

, he's asking others why they don't understand government

and just the other day they said, GOVERNMENT needed to come first

don't feed the troll rdeans long lost low IQ cousin

France, Germany, Canada, Belgium.........all rejected the old data, most of which was shaky at best.


After investigation following the invasion, the U.S.‑led Iraq Survey Group concluded that Iraq had ended its nuclear, chemical and biological programs in 1991 and had no active programs at the time of the invasion, but that they intended to resume production if the Iraq sanctions were lifted.[58] Only degraded remnants of misplaced and abandoned chemical weapons were found.[59] Paul R. Pillar, the CIA official who coordinated U.S. intelligence on the Middle East from 2000 to 2005, said "If prewar intelligence assessments had said the same things as the Duelfer report, the administration would have had to change a few lines in its rhetoric and maybe would have lost a few member's votes in Congress, but otherwise the sales campaign—which was much more about Saddam's intentions and what he "could" do than about extant weapons systems—would have been unchanged. The administration still would have gotten its war." Even Dick Cheney later cited the actual Duelfer report as support for the administration's pro-war case.[60]

However, George J. Tenet, the former director of central intelligence, stated Vice President Cheney and other George W. Bush administration officials pushed the country to war in Iraq without ever conducting a "serious debate" about whether Saddam Hussein posed an imminent threat to the United States.[61]

On 16 March 2003, the U.S. government advised the U.N. inspectors to leave their unfinished work and exit from Iraq.[69]

Indeed he is. Did communist party officials get special treatment inside the Soviet Union? Sure they did. It was Orwellian Animal Farm. What Washington Democrats want now. Liberals want to be the ruling economic class. Keep everyone down in the name of "equality", but get preferential treatment for themselves and family.

It's funny... this thread was supposed to be an attack on conservatives, and yet all the leftards on this thread have done, is prove to me that not one of them understands our position, or what we believe.

In short, they all proved they are completely ignorant and clueless.

If they spent half as much time learning our belief system, as they do just insulting things they are ignorant of, we wouldn't need such moronic threads on this forum.

The first three post on this thread are all the proof anyone will ever need to know before you call other's stupid you should take a good look at yourself first.

Lol this post is all fluff and no substance. How about you explain, in detail, why I am wrong?

Funny then the Iraq regime actually used chemicle warfare on it's own people after 1991. Truth hurts.

 

[AmericanFirst]

The far left continues to show they do not understand how government works.

Especially when Obama starts illegal actions in other countries like his new war in Iraq.

Where's the illegal part little liar?

It is a long list, it would take too much time to waste on idiots like you.

Limited government = Constitutional government
