You write about Bush's repetition, but that is exactly what each of you are doing over and over and over and... I think you get the point. The fact is, if this "war" is illegal, then why aren't any of you doing anything about it? Are you leaving it up to your so called democrats in congress to do it for you? All of this posturing is really nothing more than political rhetoric (from both sides I might add) and you're all buying right into it. Spouting off insults and degrading the President is nothing but foolishness, and definitely won't make a difference (except maybe to make you feel better). Don't you think if it were illegal, then the democrats would actively pursue at least impeachment? Are you really so naive to think Democrats and Republicans are so different? Democrats are just as bad...... they are wealthy....... they really could care less about you, except they want your vote come election time...... they live in places where I would assume most of us can't afford...... Politicians are just that..... Politicians.... it's all about power, and with power, comes money. I've read over and over that this "war" is about "OIL"... Well, in part yes.... why? Because it's in the best interest of the United States of America... !! Do YOU want to pay $7, 8, or even $10 a gallon for gasoline (some European countries pay that much)? Did you know that on average 1/3 of the $'s you pay for gas is taxes? If this "war" is so disgusting to you because it's all about oil, then quit using it! Do you ride a bike to work or school (oil, gas, tires, transmission fluid, power steering fluid)? Do you use wood to heat your homes? Fortunate or unfortunate, the fact is America is dependent on "OIL" and without it we revert back to 1800's. Is reality setting in yet?? Point: IF YOU HATE AMERICA AND/OR WHAT IT STANDS FOR.......... Then either do something about it VOTE (I would be curious to know how many of you actually voted in the past 4 years), or leave the country..... maybe you would rather live in a communist country where everything is handed to you......... OH WAIT!!! That's right it only works in theory..... just read about conditions in East Germany before the wall came down.... I'll anxiously await your insults!!!! All of your comments are quite amusing…… You write about Bush’s repetition, but that is exactly what each of you are doing over and over and over and… I think you get the point.
