There are plenty of legitimate things to criticize Obama on, but the Republicans are just the lunatic party of no.

Exactly.  And that's what the Democrats were in the early 2000s and the Republicans in the late '90s.  Crazy how little they each learn from each other.

Uh, a majority of Senate Democrats voted for the Iraq war.

Everyone supported that war, obviously they voted for it.

Yeah, it only had the largest protest in human history against it before it started.

Uh...I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with all this, that the Democrats have even weaker spines than the Republicans?  Regardless, US Senators don't represent the world...

The Democrats came into power the same way.

That's exactly what that entire thing says, thanks for reading it. Tongue

My point is that lots of people were against various Bush policies, such as the Iraq War, but the Democrats didn't do an effective job of standing up to Bush. Compare to the way that the Republicans have stood up to Obama and Clinton.

That's because the role of moderate wimps and hardcore partisan switched when Reagan became president.  Dems became the moderate wimps, and the Republicans took a hard-right shift (as opposed to the Eisenhower - Nixon years, where the GOP was moderate and the Dems were New Deal hardcore liberals)

Yes, the Democrats have pretty much been epic fail since 1980.
