Durbin's Motivations

Why did Dick Durbin say what he said? Was it because he truly believed it to be true, or was it because he was willing to say whatever it took to hurt George W. Bush? Since the substance of his statement (equating the Guantanamo Bay facilities to the murder-factories of Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot) was false, the question is an important one. You see, if Durbin only wanted to hurt George W. Bush and was willing to say something he knew to be untrue, he's too much of a corrupt liar to be allowed to stay in office. If, however, he truly believes that what he said was true, then he's too stupid to hold the office in the first place.

Personally, I believe it is a combination of the two. Durbin is just one member of a vast nationwide organization that has a long history of siding with enemies of America. In times of war, this organization has regularly given aid and comfort to the enemy both home and abroad. The organization I speak of is the Democrat Party.

During the cold war, the Democrats opposed any moves that were designed to give America a position of superiority. When Reagan took steps that helped lead to the end of the cold war (an end where America and the free world WON), the Democrats fought tooth and nail (or as close to tooth and nail as the pantywaists can) to stop Reagan.

Vietnam was an odd situation. Democrats started the war. Democrats escalated the war. Democrats used the draft as a means to staff the military with the bodies needed to fight. Then, Democrats opposed the war and took steps in Congress to pull the rug out from under our military forces who were finally able to take steps that had them WINNING the war. As long as we were stuck in a quagmire, Democrats were pushing the war. When a Republican took over, he ended the draft and started actually winning the war, so the Democrats sided with the enemy and gave the war away. John Kerry actually met with the enemy, and he wasn't alone in doing so.

We're used to all of this. We're used to watching the Democrats oppose America. We're used to watching the Democrats give aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war. That Dick Durbin is doing it again really isn't much of a surprise.

So, I ask again. Is Dick Durbin making these statements, statements which exist as aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war, because he really believes them, or because they're designed to hurt America?

The answer really matters.
