Speaking of Chris Matthews...

I think I have found why Libs will always be Libs, and why they will never understand this war. They have no substance. For evidence, check out this blog. Particularly striking is Chris Matthews comment about why people were so supportive of Bush when he delivered his "Mission Accomplished" speech.

As Matthews saw it, people jumped on the war wagon because they liked the idea of having a hero for president, because we like having a "guy" as our president. Thus, we supported the war, not because there were two very tall buildings no longer in the New York skyline,
or a big hole in the Pentagon, or a scar on a field in Pennsylvania. Not because Saddam had given us every reason to believe he was supporting the guys who dunnit. Not because Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction, and threatening to use them to destroy us. Not because this was an important stage in the war against terror. Not because we saw this as a strategic element in the big picture.
No, Chris gives supporters of this war no credit for having any substantial reason for supporting this war, and the commander-in-chief. We supported this war because Bush is a "guy".

"Sam," you say, "this seems to be evidence that conservatives have no substance." If you believe that, then you have just demonstrated your own lack of substance. Chris has no substance because he cannot accept that there may be valid reasons that people supported this war. He has no substance because he actually believes that supporters of the war have no substance, and that a person can only support the war because they are nothing but sheep. He has no substance because he looks at the person of the President rather than the substance of the President's arguments. He has no substance because he refuses to support the war only because he refuses to support a Republican president. And that is why he will always be a Lib. It's just too easy.
