Closing Their Eyes To Data Now Official Political Doctrine Of Both Parties

I always knew the Republicans were bad about this from effective AIDS prevention, to evolution, GW, and many environmental issues, but the Democrats are getting just as bad when it comes to foreign policy.

No weapons inspectors in Iraq? Result of good Clinton policy. France, Germany, and Russia's resistance to retaliation for kicking out inspectors and desire to lift sanctions anyway had nothing to do with their contracts or their bribes received.

Al-queda growing stronger and stronger and 3000 dead? Good Clinton foreign policy because we didn't offend anyone.

Elections in Iraq? They don't really want them. Surely tens of thousands of insurgents in a country of 23 million means they don't want elections no matter how many polls say a vast majority do. 60% is > than 1% in Democratic math.

Iraq must be a mess because we have pictures of some bombed buildings. Never mind economic data showing an economy stronger than most in the region despite being a basket case before the war.

Bush Lied! And stop bothering us with quotes from Bill, Hillary, and Kerry saying the same thing. It was different when they said it cause they didn't do anything and we believe in letting Iraq and N korea lie to us and reneg on obligations as long as it makes our friends think nice thoughts about us.

People who say democracy is evil and intentionally kill women, children, and noncombatants with great glee are really freedom fighters.

Obviously a bit tongue in cheek and overgeneralized, but if you don't see a large amount of truth in these charicatures of political opinion you aren't looking.

Mark
