I know they all said they thought about it long and hard but I do not believe that. I think almost every vote is made based on their need and desire to make money to run again and win. Or on political expediency for the party. It depends on the situation. It is certainly rarely for us or we would not be where we are today.

The bloodlust is a decision maker for me. There are others of course but to send people off to die, that is a changer for me. If I had any proof there was hard thinking done before voting for these conflicts rather than just a knee jerk for whatever corrupt reason I would spend the time to think it through. Not sure it would change much but I don't really think that I will have to worry about that. We are going to stick with knee jerk responses depending on what corporation will benefit.
