"Perpetuating the perception that Dems and liberals are weak is what has kept Republicans in power when national security is believed to be on the line. But it is not Democratic politicians, liberal bloggers, or portly filmmakers that have fed Al Qaeda’s growth. It is the last five years of essentially unfettered Republican rule, breaking our military, wasting our resources, denying people’s freedom, undermining our moral authority. Bush is not Osama, and Cheney is not Zarqawi. But they make us weaker by the day." - - - Liberal Oasis
