I cannot emphasize too strongly the mistake that we make when we blindly follow leaders who are wrong
If America is attacked we will all fight to the death to protect our freedom.
We should expect other countries to do the same.
We attacked Iraq, without sufficient provication, made up lies about WMD, and tried to make it appear that Saddam was harboring terrorists and getting ready to attack the USA. We now know that was this was all a bunch of hogwash.
The people who told these stories are the non-patriots and liars in this scam. Anyone who opposed them was made to appear to be unpatriotic. or a person who sympathized with the enemy. People who tried to show the truth were attacked without mercy.
The real trajedy is how weak-minded so many American people are; so few people can think for themselves, instead they follow a "leader" waving a flag - as if waving the flag and saying GOD BLESS AMERICA can make one right; how conniving minds can control so many Americans. These leaders made some very horrifying moves; attacked people who deserved better; Iraq and the Middle East are much worse off than they were before we attacked them. America is much worse off.
People want to follow a Conservative so we vote for someone who has this label. But this term Conservative stands for, Limitless spending on nonsense, waste beyond normal, disregard for common decency, lying about people, using any means to dishonor, ruin, and hurt anyone who does not agree with you. Is that what we've allowed Conservative to mean? Why would any free thinking person allow this to happen? Why would any free thinking person allow themselves to be a part of such chicanery?
The American people allow themselves to be lead by anyone who says "I support family values" even when these leaders actions support anything but moral values.
The American people allow themselves to be lead by anyone who says, "God Bless the United States of America"; even as they are killing and fighting wars based on lies, injustice and half truths. These are Demagogues. They lie and minipulate the media and the people of this country for their own purposes. God does not want us to fight unjust wars and kill innocents in his name.
Let us realize that you can be a Liberal but vote for a Conservative if he is a better candidate; you can be a Conservative and vote for a Liberal if it makes us a better country. You can be a Democrat and vote for a Republican and a Republican who votes for a Democrat. Vote for the best Government, not the best Government money can buy. Stand up for what's right, not for some label that the candidate hides behind.
I pray that people can come to their senses and stop supporting lies, stand up for the truth, even when "Their Guy" is wrong. When you voted for a candidate who turns out to be something you don't stand for, that does not make you a bad person; we all make mistakes and we can all be taken in and we should change when this happens. There is nothing wrong in flip flopping as we get more and better information. It is a sin not to make better decisions or different decisions as you learn more. Let's stop fighting each other and start fighting for better leaders to make this a better America for all of us and for future generations
Think of the greater good and reject demagogues csroc

stoneman,
bravo on your dead-on statements regarding the [lack of] character of Edward Kennedy and the lack of judgement of the voters of Massachusetts.
