Would Republicans Support Almost ANY War For ANY Reason?
I'm beginning to think that they'd support going to war or invading any country on the planet, for whatever reason their current fearless leader gives them. They'd probably take over the planet if they could. :scared:

1. Of course not.
They didn't support anything Clinton did.

2. Please
Look at what Clinton did in Kosovo? They were almost all against it and we lost nobody.

3. No They Would Not
They would not support a war to help Black people, in Africa or even in our own backyard.

They would however, support any war against a country that had oil.

4. Only if a republican wages it
But yes, that's what the pre-emption policy is all about.

5. That's an excellent question.
Would they support any war by anyone? Or is it just okay if Bush wages it?

Do you notice a certain closing of the ranks, after the election? Some people who were willing to question the wisdom of the thing seem to have shed their aversion.

One who has not of late is Pat Buchanan. I am a bit dismayed of late that I find myself agreeing with him on so much.

6. No they didn't support the Kosovo bombing.
They only support wars they start. If there's a Democrat in the White House they become the anti-war party automatically.

7. Know this
This is God's Country. That means all other nations are not, and are subject to his rule via the US. Destroying or converting heathen nations is in his glory. Got a problem with that?

8. Any reason...
implies that they have to have a reason. Given what we've seen from those violent thugs, they want to attack just for the fun of it. They're sick people. Never forget it.
