Liberals often avoid addressing good points and avoid answering direct questions. So after making the same points a few times or asking the same questions a few times it gets a bit boring.

There are still some lefties that sound off as much as before, the right though seem to have stifled their bark a bit.
Personally, I have been in self-directed therapy with the goal of being more civil and less vicious. For the most part I have had success, although I have been tested.

I'm just curious, have the events we've witnessed over the past few years given one doubts?
after the Congressional elections I concluded that we should leave Iraq because Bush does not have the support of the American people or Congress (at least that is what I thought - now it looks like Congress simply has no balls or convictions). However, I am still 100% behind using military force preemptively if needed.

Perhaps we grow in wisdom through experience ( Bush has still to learn that, pity.)
Bush's wisdom is lost on those who have no convictions. Bush says what he is going to do and does it. "Politicos" don't get it.

Personnally, I have been making an effort to understand the liberal mind and have taken a "kinder and gentler" approach during my exploration. So far it is pretty foggy. It seems the basis is emotion and then goes to extremist indefensible positions, peppered with illogical thought.

I guess we're saving it to blame on the next administration.
I have already started with the Democratic Congress, but i am really looking forward to Hilery being our next Pres. I actually think liberals are going to be disappointed when she takes a moderate stance on most issues and doesn't lead us into socialism.

I dunno, I just don't see all the crowing about Bush I used to see posted. Truly, I don't wish to be crass, but have any minds been changed, or are we just quietly scraping off the "W" stickers from our trucks?
Bush is basically a lame duck. The only issue on his plate is Iraq. The economy is strong, there is job growth, inflation is low, the deficit is getting smaller, no attacks within our boarders, etc, etc. If he gets Iraq under control he will have had a good presidency. I think the problem you see is the result of the fact that liberals don't have much to complain about other than Iraq.
