[ClearCase_guy]

Of course I'm biased, but I certainly see the Democrats focused on power. They want control and they will say anything and do anything to get it. Republicans are hardly perfect, and they do a lot of things that I dislike but I generally don't see them seeking power over all else. Bush and McCain bent over backwards to work with the opposition -- quite the opposite of a selfish focus on power gathering.

Both parties need to improve, but the Democrats are the ones who care for nothing but control.

Yes. It was remarkable to hear one of the Dems congressional leaders to say that success of the surge in Iraq won’t be good for them. Them meaning Dems. At least he was honest.

Dems are quick to point out that Rush and conservatives were calling for Obama’s failure as well. But it does not match on so many levels. Wishing for failure of the internal policies geared to fundamentally changing the country is not the same as a party positioning itself that a military defeat abroad would benefit it. The human and monetary cost of war would’ve been much smaller if our enemies did not see us divided and were not motivated by it.

[an amused spectator]

Joe “Whoops, I Crapped My Mouth - Again!” Biden is a drooling, senile a**clown, and gets a pass daily from an Obama Chorus media that foams at the mouth that “Palin is STOOPID”, every minute on the minute.

[IamConservative]

JoeBama Biden is dumber than the third squirt of goose chit. He has no principles. These guys lie like we are all as stupid as they are. No one likes to be disrespected and I believe the majority now feels like this administration and congress don’t respect the people. November will be a blood bath of epic proportions.

[PGalt]

What a strange time we live in.

Everything about socialism is sham and affectation. 23.11 Ch23 Evil; "Economic Harmonies"; Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850

Bastiat was pointing this out BEFORE The Communist Manifesto was written.

Nothing strange about a statist's methods to acquire, hold and keep power. Biden is a POS statist. Examine him, his family, the president that picked him as a running mate, the rest of the members of his collective. Draw a conclusion. Buy a clue.

Another slap down from Victor Davis Hanson

Man has a way with words

[bboop]

They are all about power and will do and say anything to win it/ keep it. That is why they ragged on George Bush incessantly during his tenure — not because he was working against principles they held dear, but because they were laying the groundwork for getting a Dem into office.

Despicable swamp rats.

The Logic of it All

&&&&&

Liberals do not use logic. They base all action on emotion, and one of their major emotions is the craving for power above all else.

VDH is extremely logical and can explain all the reasons behind leftists actions, but it makes no difference in their behavior. It is only useful in helping us know our opponents.

[Rummyfan]

In contrast, Churchill, among his own and those abroad, was continually resolute, constant, and neither depressed by adversity nor artificially animated by success. He was there in the beginning, unchanged through it all, and the same when it ended.

The ultimate un-Obama too.

As Ann Coulter said the other day, there are bad Republicans yes, but there are no good Democrats.

About sums it up.

[FreedomPoster]

Democrats as a group don’t know anything except government power and control. Republicans often have been successful in other areas - medicine, business, etc.

[Onelifetogive]

Winston Churchill had many flaws, but of all the men of the 20th century he will probably prove to be its greatest.

Maybe a close second to Ronaldus Maximus...

[Grampa Dave]

When can we tell or know that Biden is lying?
