I don't think McCain would've done so but with the intelligence reports we had it was a must.

Bush manipulated the intelligence to make a stronger case for war in Iraq.

No he didn't. The president doesn't have much to do with intelligence reports unless he asks for them. We went to Iraq to bring freedom to the oppressed, promote WOMEN'S RIGHTS, build schools, build hospitals, remove a dictator, and make the world a better place.

That's great and all, but it's a shame we had to have used our taxpayer money that we didn't even have (we were in a deficit even before Iraq) to do this. That money should have been used to pay down our debt. And if you're so eager about bringing freedom to oppressed people, then we should have invaded North Korea, Sudan, Iran, and Burma before invading Iraq. And we should have taxed the rich very heavily to do this so that we wouldn't increase our deficit and debt.

You democrats will jump at any opportunity you can to tax someone who makes a dime more than you. We lose lives at war and all you can think of is taxing someone who makes more money than you.

No, we just care about actually balancing the budget to make sure that our children have a better future and not be burdened by the massive amounts of debt that this generation has accumulated. And if a President starts a war, they better be prepared to pay for it. You Republicans are hypocrites. You claim to be fiscal conservatives yet you spend like crazy when you come into power.

You sound uneducated and assumptive. I never said that I spend like Bush did. Stop using our children for your political advancements too. You democrats are ALL THE SAME. You hide behind America's youth after you can't sell your policies to those with an IQ above 35.

I was talking about Republican politicians. And last time I checked, the Democratic Party won the last elections. Thus, the Democratic polciies can appeal to the majority of American voters.

No that's only people below the age of 24. It wasn't Obama's socialist ideas either. He won because he was the furthest candidate from Bush.

God Derek you talk out of both sides of your yesterday on a post yesterday you were talking about how we had to stop spending for the sake of our children, LOL.

Edited to get the quote nesting correct, and as long as that was being done, to prune the quote tree somewhat.

Second edit to remove off-topic discussion of personal IQs.

I've been very consistent. Spend what's necessary. Don't hide behind America's youth to justify over spending and higher taxes. Stop saying that I said something if I didn't. Your post sounds vague.
