Perhaps the conduct shown in the ad does make Bush a traitor, but that’s your spin on it, not what MoveOn says.

If you asserted that, you were wrong. Kerry spoke frequently about using military force only as a last resort, and of course opposed Bush’s war in Iraq. Bush both got us into Iraq and is continuing the war.

There are some pro-war Democrats but the votes this year to attempt to put an end to the war show quite clearly that for the most part the Democrats oppose the war and the Republicans support the war.

Yes it does. However we must keep this in perspective. If the left looks bad when one group puts out an ad such as this, the right should also look bad for their more frequent attacks of this nature. Turn on talk radio any day of the week and you’ll hear far worse.

His Republican counterpart (before the Democrats took control of Congress), the highly-esteemed U.S. Representative Henry Hyde (R-IL), opposed the Iraq war, and opposed the neoliberal and neoconservative foreign policy vision, that got us into this mess.

What MoveOn.org is doing is disrespectful… and I definitely oppose that organization.

However, I am skeptical about much of what is in the General’s report.

As I have pointed out numerous times in the past… The top Democrats in America today are not truly anti-war… far from it, in fact.

Prior to the 2004 U.S. Presidential election, I asserted that, if John Kerry were elected, we could actually have more warfare and military interventionism than if Bush were to be re-elected. Several others [including both supporters and opponents of the Iraq war, and of President Bush], agreed with this.

And before the 2006 Congressional elections, I made the same type of argument, regarding the Democrats and the Republicans.

And now, I just saw an article featured at The Hill, showing that several of the hawkish Democrats, who have gotten Chairmanships, due to their party’s takeover of Congress, and who I named there, were the same ones heaping lavish praise, earlier today, on General David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker.

The pro-war, anti-war, and partisan reactionary segments of the American Left can attempt to pursue their destructive policies – many of which have been seized up, and even embraced, but today’s “conservatives,” along with the present White House, and much of the GOP leadership. Thankfully though, there are many on the Right, and in the Republican Party, who do not support these policies.

Ultimately, it may be the battle on the Right, over these vital contemporary foreign and domestic policy issues, that determines what direction our nation will go.
