I'm confused...overthrowing a dictator in Iraq (which did not attack us on 9/11 and resulted in our diverting resources from capturing the guy that did) was good but ridding ourselves of another dictator in Libya (who had blood on his hands from Pan Am Lockerbie that the greatest leader in world history failed to remove back in the 80's) was bad?....the entire unraveling of the Middle East began once we invaded Iraq, back in 2003....and talking about how strength and saber rattling will keep us safe, 9/11 happened on a "tough guys" watch (yeah, I know Bill was busy having his cigar played with a few years earlier while the greatest ruler in world history helped abet OBL into power in the first place). Oh yeah, Benghazi--4 dead, worst terror attack ever, but Beirut--241 Marines killed, OK since the greatest ever was in power so let's give him a pass.

Can you imagine if 9/11 had happened on the Kenyan's watch and he took his eye off the ball from capturing the perpetrator to invade Mexico?

I opposed the war in Iraq and had my.house egged because of the placards there in opposition.

Benghazi is overblown, but it is nonetheless significant since emails were not provided, illness was feigned and obscure anti Islam videos were blamed.

i can spin as many, more actually, conspiracies and higher death totals on the GOP side. Fact is the GOP has been going after the Clintons for decades and Obama from day 1, hoping something will stick as they feel entitled to the Presidency. Only thing helping the GOP now is that Hillary is such a poor campaigner and her husband has seemed to have lost energy and his former mojo which makes him no longer makes an asset. If this were a football game, it would be who wants the Presidency less.

IMO political parties should be outlawed. This would entice people to actually investigate what the candidate has done in the past. Not what they can promise, which are usually lies.

They may be causing trouble too, but it's obvious that the Bernie/Hilary supporters cause the lion's share of the disruption and violence. I'm not sure how you can even argue that with a straight face.

It's sad really. Seeing these Bernie supporters and BLM activist toss police cars over and set buildings on fire shows just how clueless they are. Bernie will categorically make their situations worse off, and they are passionate for the opportunity.
