From Pandagon.
The following quotes are drawn from the Republican Party Platform at the 2000 convention:
"The arrogance, inconsistency, and unreliability of the administration’s diplomacy have undermined American alliances, alienated friends, and emboldened our adversaries." [ed. this is referring to Clinton's administration]
"Gerrymandered congressional districts are an affront to democracy and an insult to the voters. We oppose that and any other attempt to rig the electoral process."

Rumsfeld about the prison torture scandal:
"It happened on my watch, and I take full responsibility,"
Bush the next day:
''You're doing a superb job."
Welcome to the era of personal responsibilty.
Democratic congressman and Vietnam Veteran John Murtha made the following statement last week:
“We cannot prevail in this war as it is going today. We either have to mobilize, or we have to get out. … The direction’s got to be changed, or it’s unwinnable, in my estimation.”
Here was the reaction:
Majority Leader Tom Delay (never served)
"this morning, in a calculated and craven political stunt, the national Democratic Party declared its surrender in the war on terror."
(notice the juvenile insult of calling it the "Democrat Party")
GOP Rep. Michael Burgess (never served)
"basically are giving aid and comfort to the enemy."
Today:Army Maj. Gen. Charles H. Swannack Jr., the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, who spent much of the year in western Iraq, said he believes that at the tactical level at which fighting occurs, the
U.S. military is still winning. But when asked whether he believes the United States is losing, he said, "I think strategically, we are."
Army Col. Paul Hughes, who last year was the first director of strategic planning for the U.S. occupation authority in Baghdad, said he agrees with that view and noted that a pattern of winning battles while losing a war characterized the U.S. failure in Vietnam. "Unless we ensure that we have coherency in our policy, we will lose strategically," he said in an interview Friday.
Press conference declaring our miltary leaders in Iraq as giving aid and comfort to the enemy and surrendering has yet to be convened.
