A Democrat's plan
Why would a Democrat support a war at one point, then fight against it with all their heart at another?
Besides the bullshit that the left spews--the facts have changed and they were lied into a war (as if 9/11 never happened)--it was a popular war at one point. Most of America was pissed off that they got attacked and had so many casualties in their own country. They felt insecure and scared that day, and wanted to make sure that never happened again.
Democrats knew that they would get no where fighting a war that was supported by most of the country. They would have to bite their tongue and go along with the flow.
As most war's in the history of war go, this war will take some time. To win the election and bigger paychecks, they would need to chip away at the Republican's lead. With assistance from the media, this is accomplished by making big stinks about nothing.
Eventually, after daily reports filled with how horrible everything is going, people just began to believe that this war isn't right.
As it progressed, they released more and more fibs destroying the support to the right.
The people of America want to believe that our leaders have us on the forefront of their thoughts. We want to believe that they are doing what is best for the country, and not their pockets. That they aren't just trying to fulfill their egos.
Unfortunately, people like Kerry, who lie about their military records and won't release them to prove otherwise. Who went on protests of the war to jump start his political career. People like Obama who invest in companies, and then make it a political argument for the government to give them more money (God forbid this had been Cheney). The Clinton's, who are only matched by the Kennedy's when it comes to running a dirty presidency. The list goes on.
These people have shown time and time again that they don't care about the country, they only care about themselves. They will do anything, like displaying compassion, to increase their power. They have relied on Americans forgetting the feeling they had on 9/11 to get into power.
It is sick that the left would put our soldiers' safety at risk to win elections, but that is what they are doing. It is even worse that this clear message isn't getting across to the people.

conclusions drawn by rob
-obama invests money in companies - bad!
rebuttal: all politicians make their pockets fat Rob. find me a politician that doesn't and i'll find you 12 that do. not to say this excuses Obama's behavior. he is likely scum like the rest. but that is the operative phrase... like the rest. i don't know much about him tho.
-people who don't support "the war" are facilitating the death of soldiers
rebuttal: actually the people who are strapping bombs on themselves are facilitating the death of soldiers
-Kennedy and Clinton are the "dirtiest" presidents of all time
rebuttal: Nixon, John Quincy Adams, etc.
-people just began to think the war isn't right
rebuttal: people have been thinking the war isn't right since it began
anyways, rob continues to wine about his favorite bogey-man, "the left". basically whenever rob is talking about "the left" you can be sure that he is propping up a ridiculous straw-man that he will proceed to beat to a pulp.
beauty of all this is i hate democrats more than rob.
I understand both political factions are in it to better themselves. I've said that exact phrasing in the past.
Your second rebuttal has nothing to do with the point, so wouldn't actually be a rebuttal.
Nixon, while doing bad things, had a good heart, so that excuses him.
Why did so many people support the war?
yeah my rebuttals were pretty weak. just trying to stir up some convo.
re: Nixon
i think saying he had a "good heart" is a bit of a stretch but I think Nixon was pretty cool. In my mind all his bullshit kind of makes him even more endearing. Corrupt as hell tho, but more of a straight shooter than your average corrupt politician. i think i'm going to post about Barry Goldwater in the next few days. Perhaps i'll do a series of posts on Republicans.
re: the War
i don't know why people supported the war. lots of reasons i suppose. i was always pretty ambivalent about the war, and still am. here are some common reasons why people supported the war
-fear of WMDs
-felt Saddam was evil and should be removed
-caught up in post 9/11 fervor, wanted to win "The War on Terror"
