War and Politics: A Combustible Mix
- Share via
The Karl Rove/Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) flap exquisitely highlights the differences between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats tell the truth, then apologize for it in tears. Republicans tell lies, then brazenly claim they’re true (June 24). The latter is worse. But not by much.

It’s easy to see why many Americans are turned off by politics. Partisan blowhards such as Howard Dean and Rove waste our time by spewing the misguided beliefs of the far left and far right. All I ask is to have candidates I can actually support.

Rove tells us the that conservatives alone could see the savagery of 9/11 and they prepared for war. He knows from experience. When he and many in this administration saw the savagery of Vietnam, they knew their duty; they took a deferment.
