So it goes without saying on the left that Bush lied. It's also obvious to all but the most rabid right wing reactionaries that Bush is a moron. This begs the question, why are so many Democratic congressmen now saying that Bush withheld intelligence, and that he basically pulled the wool over their eyes to convince them to vote for the use of force against Iraq? It would take a REALLY dumb person to fall for such a charade by someone who just plain dumb. That means that either Democrats are REALLY dumb, or Bush did not lie, they know it, and they are lying about it themselves.

Heck, even if Bush is a pretty smart guy (which he is), how sad is it that there are so many congressmen out there who fell for his lies regarding such an important issue? The fact is, there aren't that many really dumb people in congress. I may think a lot of them are creeps who lack integrity and care only for personal gain, but they ain't dumb, which leaves only one option. Bush did not lie, and the Dems know it and are lying about it for partisan reasons. That means one side has put partisan gain higher in importance than the lives of our soldiers, and that side is the left.

I don't want to be a Republican or a one party kind of guy. I'd like to be able to look at two basically equal parties (equal in terms of leadership, ability to plan, etc.), and make my decisions based on the minor things that divide them. Instead I have two parties that want to spend us in to bankruptcy, one party that lies and refuses to come up with any realistic plans for anything, and the other that says it's policies are thing, but actually acts in a different way.
