Let's look at Reality

The Rovian trickster himself was spewing his deception the other day. Of course the White House defends the words. But those of us who understand what is really happening know who is truly on the side of honor and respect for our country:

Democrats
Believe capturing the person primarily responsible for the attack should be a top priority.

Republicans
It's been four years, and Osama bin Laden is still free, even though Bush's CIA chief says he knows where he is.

Democrats
Investigate the intelligence failures that led to 9/11.

Republicans
Do everything in their power to block the 9/11 Commission from doing its work.

Democrats
Propose creating the Department of Homeland Security.

Republicans
Push tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

Democrats
Believe we should have stayed the course in Afghanistan, not allowing the Taliban to resurge, the warlords to take power, and the opium trade to skyrocket.

Republicans
Ignore Afghanistan as the situation worsens.

Democrats
Believe that we should be honest with our troops about the reasons we go to war, give them everything they need to be safe, and make sure we go in with an exit plan.

Republicans
Manipulate intelligence to trump up reasons to go to war, don't give our troops the support they need, constantly mislead the public about the direction the war is going, and fail to make an exit plan. And turn Iraq into the ultimate terrorist training ground.

Those that blindly follow a flawed philosophy are the ones who are causing the greatest harm to our nation and the troops. There are those on he Right who are recognizing this, and individuals like Graham and Hagel are starting to see the light. In time, others will recognize the importance of doing what is right, and not necessarily what is in the best interest of their party.
