Diner Discussion: Republican Iowa Version

I can’t believe I’m actually linking to them, but one of the Swamp Things actually put up a post that got my attention. But only for this one line:

Immigration dominated the questions Romney got in Waterloo, suggesting the issue—one on which McCain is at odds with the Republican base—still has a lot of resonance. And I didn’t hear a single question about Iraq, except from reporters. When I went around and talked to people—randomly, and an unscientific sampling, to be sure—I heard a lot of resentment toward the putative frontrunner from the kind of very conservative Republicans who tend to dominate their caucuses.

This is fascinating if true. I’m not surprised none of the Republican anti-democratic party members want to talk about the war, but I’m left wondering how this can be used to our advantage. No serious thoughts, just a point in the campaign to keep in mind, as well as expressing the belief that we should monitor future gatherings of primary voters, to see what else makes them uncomfortable.

Most of the world thinks Bush sucks

Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? Is killing thousands of innocent civilians okay when you are doing a little government makeover?
Are we safer today than we were before?
We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do!

WAR - US vs Iran from Iraq

What about the possibility of pulling out of Iraq, letting Iran invade and lose resources fighting their own kind,
and then come in and mop up the dregs?
