Do you think ISIS would be in Iraq if we had not invaded and Saddam was still in power? So as for your last statement, why yes I think we did.

We knew the invasion was huge mistake. Knew it.

And now we all must live with the consequences.

I watched all the TV debate leading up to the vote. The hawks really had no good argument, to me. But when you tightly control the media you can get away with anything, even war crimes and treason.

They don't do anything, anyway.

Never thought I'd live to see this day. What a disappointment our political system has turned out to be. Partly because a bunch of kooks hung tea bags from their straw hats. This country shows how dumbed down it has become if by no other way than the candidates that are being placed before us for our votes.

Rand Paul has that finger in the air to see which way the political winds are blowing. Stick it up your nose, Rand. No one really cares what you think. Well, anyone with a brain, that is.

Arrogant, spoiled brat.

have been hosted again and again in front of their real lords and masters a few times this year.

If there's some money to be made off killing for the Koch's, they'll be the first ones in line with their hands out for their paychecks.

It's disgusting watching Rand-om Opportunity for Political Theater Paul twist and squirm to parrot whatever meme he's told to push.

I like that..randstanding. Im going to use it in a sentence.


Person 1: " Where are you going to campaign?"
Person 2: " Oh, in Ohio tomorrow then Illinois"
Person 1: "Thats great, what will you talk about?"
Person 2: " The same stuff, I'll just randstand like I always do"
person 1: " Cool, muahahahahaha"

Unlike his father, he is totally willing to change his positions. Are we sure it isn't Romney in a Rand Paul suit?

And you cannot get elected in this country unless you are willing to accept the Extra-Constitutional Supremacy of the Military Industrial Complex and their unjustified undertakings.

And if you would happen to manage to get elected the fuckers would assassinate your ass in no time.

The Randster isn't a complete dumb ass. Just almost.

You were bamboozled and you really need to learn how to study history, learn how to analyze public speakers, need to learn that libertarianism is not a philosophy, but a way to capture your $ for the purposes of some few crazy amoral people to get rich off of your dollars.

If you don't understand this post, go to Rachel Maddow, she can explain it to you better than I can.

We need to stop using euphemism here:
