Of those 9 years I have never met or by proxy, known any of my fellow Marines to agree with the views of the Democratic Party. I'm not trying to be a Rove sympathiser at the moment but he does seem to have a point here in that the most common word used to describe Democrats is &amp;quot; irresponsible &amp;quot; . That's coming from the most honorable men and women the world has to offer. It is easy to say you've been lied to when all the facts are unkown to you. It's also easy to say a CIA operative was outed by the administration. Folks, if you don't think that woman had specific alterior motives during that event , you are casting a blind eye. That was political fodder used for the single purpose of hurting the Bush admin. As far as president Bush is concerned, I believe he has been the most honorable president we've had in many decades. My fellow Marines defend this country with their lives and believe what they are fighting for. Maybe some of the Bush haters should ask their opinions on politics.
