I'm pretty sure all those troops who lost friends to IEDs and are now out on the streets following a dishonorable discharge because of their TBI and, as a result can't get treatment for that or their PTSD are happy to hear Bush refusing to make a decision in deference to the "sacrifices they made".

Why did George get tapped over Jeb in the first place? I remember a lot of people saying that Jeb was the one who had been groomed to be president but for some reason his brother was chosen instead. FlamingLiberal posted:This is becoming progressively more hilarious every time Also this. God, it's so nice to finally watch somebody take some flak about Iraq. His bungling just makes it all the sweeter.

Jeb lost his first run for Governor of Florida, making W the only one with more than a couple months in a government job at the time of the 2000 primary.

It's like that one time Tucker Carlson said Americans had the moral authority to invade countries because we're the only country in the world who doesn't use our military to preserve and expand our global hegemony. Not just him, this view and Rubio's are well within the conservative mainstream.

Why the gently caress would we want more territory? The poors and browns live in all the places we expand freedom to. Just send us resources and we're all good.

And for some actual content: ""Washington Post Editorial" posted:It’s only Wednesday, but it’s already been a lousy week for Hillary Clinton. Trying to ride the populist tiger, remain silent on key issues and not be a target in the inequality wars would be a hard balancing act for any politician, but for one without much political grace and a problematic record, she has her hands full. Is this a conservative hit piece? Sure is. Are stopped clocks still right twice a day? With the vote to deny fast-track the TPP deal today, I think that Sanders is in a much better position to talk real policy on the campaign trail than Clinton is. There is no credible evidence that Clinton cares about anything other than aggregating power. Would she support legislation to support social equity? A lot of people think she will, but her history seems to indicate pretty clearly that she'll only do so if she thinks there is a political gain in it for herself. I'm not even sure if she'll nominate actual liberal judges to the supreme court instead of milquetoast centrists that will occasionally throw a bone to minorities while cheerfully ruling in favor of corporate interests 90% of the time.

Conservative mustache aficionados and those who tut about the limp wristed, pansy rear end, foreign policy of the Bush boys. Also, if we can just get Trump and Palin to actually run this will be the greatest clown car to ever exist in the history of the world.

Kalman posted:Let's set aside your complete misread of what Hillary will do and why. Do you think Hillary is more conservative than Bill? (If so, you're kind of an idiot.) My point is not that Hillary is more or less conservative than anyone - but rather she is possibly the most self serving candidate running, and certainly the most self serving democrat running. Her track record is pretty clear - she doesn't accept that rules apply to her, and she does whatever benefits herself above all else. The Republicans are idiots to be sure for making noise about Benghazi, but there is real harm in the fact that while Sec. of State, she blatantly disregarded IT policy and used a private email system. She's accessed the FBI files of her political rivals on the sly. When she left the white house as First Lady, she had government owned furniture moved to her personal home in NY, just because she liked it. And most folks by now have forgotten about White Water. She's pretty clearly shown that Hillary does what's best for Hillary. If she can make political hay from time to time by supporting some social cause, then that's a bonus, but at the end of the day Hillary always gets hers. Allow me to flip the question: for what reason do you put faith in her to do anything beneficial? What are her past actions that make you say "This is someone I can trust!"

DaveWoo posted:Quote of the Day - "I'm running for president in 2016," Jeb Bush So does this count at his official announcement or do we have to wait for him to announce a specific day when he'll announce whether or not he's announcing a run for president? I just need to know how many pre-announcements to expect before he actually enters the race.
