I submit that it only 'sounds alike' if you're listening through some sort of voltage controlled filter installed in your own head. In such a state I suppose
everything must sound the basically the same, like the adults in Charlie Brown, but admitting you hear warbly trumpets when people speak doesn't lend you much credibility in political discussions.

Even though this statement is based on sweeping presumptions so loosely connected to any semblance of reality that one can only hazard
guesses about what it's actually intended to mean, it's still fundamentally and ludicrously false.
First of all neither Democrats nor Iraqi insurgents are single minded entities.
By even referring to democrats in this way, one assumes you are actually talking about a small group of hopeful
candidates who are trying desperately to appeal to their base in typical political style: by talking a lot but not saying much. Even they understand that being a democrat isn't an absolute indicator that you're against the war in Iraq, any more than being republican means you're absolutely gung ho.
As far as the insurgency, it should be patently obvious their motivations are even more disparate.

Yes, because as has been argued approximately a billion times, and must sound like warbly trumpets to
some people, if the president
is a liar, it's pure patriotism to point out those lies and guard one's self and others against them. No one person has more potential to damage the country one loves, and only the most 'weak minded and easily swayed' would confuse an elected office with infallibility.
