Looks like they both have taken turns in the opposite direction.
Rocky now says:
As this administration continues to pursue policies completely contrary to the laws, treaty obligations, and fundamental values of our nation, we need to take a stand and loudly proclaim our values as patriotic Americans. The principles upon which our nation was founded require a withdrawal from Iraq and full accountability for President Bush and this disastrous administration.
Oh yea, and he is calling for Bush to be impeached.

To reiterate--I'm not questioning your patriotism.......I'm just informing you of why your view is hard to swallow.........I know you too well to question your patriotism.
The biggest flip-flop we've seen in the last couple of years is Democrat support for the war (it amazes me that Hillary and Edwards voted for war, but changed their tunes as soon as they saw a political opening). To me, that's a bigger story than anything Mitts done.
I have more respect for people who were always against the war, like Josh. What did the Dems of Congress think? That it would be a walk in the park? Did they say--"Hey! I can vote for the war, but when things get rough, I can forget about the stance I took and attack Bush--that'll make me look good."
First off, we don't know where the goal is. Second of all, nobody gets killed in football. If our favorite players were dying, then would probably be shouting 'get off the field!'
Also, how the heck do we know if this is the third quarter? There are some who might say the game has just begun.
This isn't a game. It's not even a war. I don't even know what to call it.
I think it's patriotic to say I don't any more Americans to die fighting a battle we shouldn't be in.
I fear the time will come when people don't want to serve their country because they don't trust their leaders. Fighting for our freedom is one thing but fighting without end for reasons that cannot be explained, that is another matter entirely.
In short, I support any person willing to give their life in service of their country. I just think that the people who put those lives in the line of fire should be accountable for their actions- ensuring it is done only in the most dire of circumsances. And if those people screw up, putting the lives of American soldiers in danger for less than altruistic reasons, which I think they did, I think they should be held responsible.
I really don't know what the best course of action is James. What's happening to our soldiers over there kills me and I just want to understand how, and why we are there, and how we are going to fix it.
Do you remember that conversation we had at Kent's house before the war? Dude, that's where this all started!
By the way, you're not going to try and blame me when you get a D on some test because you were blogging when you should have been studying are you?
He's no different than any other politicain. He just happens to have a temple recommend.
He DID change his view on a woman's right to choose.
