speaking for myself, Mephisto, it's not that I'm trying to convince Moosenose. I'm refuting his arguments because others might read them and fall for them. One of the chief problems with the democrats these days is that when the repulblicans spread their prevaricating bullshit around, the dems don't do anything about it. Whether it's because they're wimps or because they say to themselves "how in the living HELL could anyone possibly believe this crap? I don't need to say anything against it," the fact remains that unchallenged, stuff like that convinces people.
You'll notice that while "liberal" is an insult, "conservative" is not. Just another example that the republican political machine is much more successful than the democratic one (not that I think the dems have a machine - they need one, but they don't have it) because the democrats won't stand up and point out the truth EVERY SINGLE TIME a republican tries to mislead someone.
That's not exactly the brightest way to stop them, and I for one do not intend to fall into the "stand by and watch it happen" stupidity phase the dems are going through.
So every time I see lies, misleading comments, false data, or conservative propaganda, I will speak out against it. Not because I think it will convince the spreader of the propaganda to stop, but because it MIGHT help keep more people from believing the BS.
And in this case, the idea that Iraq was justified, or that Bush & Co. did not lie or deceive in order to go into Iraq, is total BS.
