While I understand where he is coming from, saying "when you call the Iraqi war a mistake, you disrespect the service and the sacrifice of everyone that has died promoting freedom" is not true. There is a huge difference between calling a military operation a mistake and disrespecting individual soldiers. If ~90k civilian Iraqi deaths means spreading our view of freedom to a part of the world the average American will never be able to understand, then that's very scary.
The fact is, no matter how horrible a decision of military action is made, saying it was a poor choice is not a comment at the individuals fighting the war, it's of the leaders in the government that made the final decision to conduct the action. The Vietnam conflict is widely seen as a military failure on the part of the US, yet saying so is not an attack on individuals that fought there, including John McCain.

If money were water and lawns were nations, I feel as if we're watering so many other lawns, that our lawn is dry and brittle. Republicans are saying there's nothing wrong with the lawn, and imo Democrates see what time it really is, and that we need to drizzle some of our rain on our lawns.

I'm a Republican by heart, but see too many people suffering to vote for one.

what will happen? taxes will go up to support his own agenda (universal health care and free higher education, just to name a couple) while continuing to pay for the commitments we have already made. and with more people in the US feeling the economic squeeze, the last thing we can afford is higher taxes.
