Yes, Republicans were ambivalent about effectively running the war in Iraq. Most important to them was their precious tax cut. John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee said the USA could spend 100 years completing the social engineering project in Iraq. Every Republican applauded, knowing that the precious tax cut came first, and dumping the entire bill for the war onto the national credit would be maintained forever. In WWII, Americans on the home front were willing to sacrifice. People paid increased income taxes, victory taxes and had money deducted from their weekly paychecks to buy war bonds. And subjected themselves to food and fuel rationing.
Today's Republicans are not willing to sacrifice other than by getting their mouths on the teat of the government sow. The 'Greatest' generation of the 1940's were tough; these odious and contemptible Republicans of the 21st century should be, henceforth, referred to as the 'Moronic' generation.
Republicans pretend to be for 'small' government, but are for HUGE government. Republicans pretend to be for 'free' markets, but are really for rigged markets. Republicans say they are for 'taking responsibility', but their method of accepting responsibility is to always blame the most convenient Democrat for all the messes they created. Republicans always vigorously wave the American flag but, in fact, their actions put our beloved country last. Cherish the tax cut! Did the Greatest generation have tax cuts and Tea Parties during WWII when we were facing real Fascists? Let's face it, when a Republicans tells you that he or she is in favor of 'small government and free markets,' aren't both of these lies?

Let's look at the Republican Party during the eight year George W. Bush 'Reign of Error.' The Republican Party led a powerful political machine built on a dazzling use of patronage and a belief that government was a weapon to be wielded in the interest of the moneyed class and on behalf of corporate interests. At the end of the day, the Republican Party was very successful at redistributing wealth to its constituents. Please just analyze this George Bush statement in October of 2008. "We need to recapitalize the American financial system." What does it really mean?

A card-carrying Republican states; "They (the Dems) subscribe to Lenin's "big lie" theory, which says that if you tell a lie often enough, people begin to believe it." I replied, "You mean, like, the Republican party stands for small government and free markets?" Who here thinks the card-carrying Republican fessed up?
