Has the right (Republicans) ever acknowledged being wrong about anything

[Toots]

Ever? I have never heard any of them ever say "We were wrong about that issue" Have they ever said such a thing?

[libertypirate]

1. I think they call that a slippery slope...

[slackmaster]

2. Nixon and Reagan both apologized for actions of "overzealous" aides

Reagan got away with it. Nixon didn't.

8. This administration has been having problems with

"overzealous aides" too. What a fucking coincidence.

3. Nope

Even on the most clear issue, African American Civil Rights, they largely claim to have been on the right side of taht issue (despite all the evidence to the contrary). They can't admit mistakes becuase they are punk-ass punks.

4. Too ignorant to do so.

[liberal N proud]

5. That one is too easy!

NO!
That would be a sign of weakness.

6. That is one reason that we have marijuana prohibition.

Never being wrong since at least 1937.

7. You won't hear an apology either.

To do so, admits being wrong.

Let's just start calling them the "Wrong Party", those on the "Wrong side of the aisle", and just generally replace the word "Right" with "Wrong" when referring to the Cons.

9. Bush said recently that paying Armstrong Williams and others was wrong

However the White House has stonewalled attempts to get to the bottom of the payola scandal and has been uncooperative in revealing any information that would explain who approved and knew about or promoted the payola to 'journalists'.

When forced to explain some 'misguided' incidents involving his staff or other Repubs, Bush has expressed disapproval but his insincerity and hypocrisy is evident in each case because he does nothing to correct the situation and allows the coverup and stonewalling (such as with the Plame leak) to continue.

10. Consoviets don't believe in apologies

Just explanations and rationalizations; and, if you don't accept it and move on, then they expect an apology from you.
