> Democrats are hypocrites as fascist as war mongering right

Pretty much every politician in any country is a hypocrite as they bend with the current interests that keep them in (what shouldn't be) a lifetime job. That and their secondary obligation to generally switch views if the other party ends up agreeing with something mutual (more so if the opposing party controls the executive position in the country). There's a saying that one should be worried if all parties and outside interests agree on something, as it's likely to not be beneficial to anyone else or end up costing taxpayers a ton of money wasted on things that don't benefit them.

It would however be a disservice to point out the many flaws of Democrats in times of conflict and having control of the presidency without also mentioning that many Republicans have not all sudden decided renounce war and request the president "give peace a chance" in regards to Syria out of caring. At least a few of them were proponents of the conflicts carried out under Bush.
