U.S. Politics

[Ignatius J Reilly]

No-one commenting on the quite astonishing letter written by the 47 Republican senators to the government of Iran, telling them to ignore the President of the United States?

I was too afraid of someone somehow trying to defend them.  I've seen too much of it.  I keep hoping someone finds a way to end the level of partisan politics we see now, but it's just a bunch of freaking overgrown children name calling and lying while they pocket all the money.

Rand Paul drives me freaking insane because he'll do/say two things I totally agree with and then follow it up with excrement like this.

Those guys from SAE in Oklahoma were apparently just imitating hip hop

He's not his dad and even his father has some big flaws.

I was fine with Ron Paul until he basically blamed us for 911.

Yeah, I want to drop the T word in this thread, but I think I may have stopped giving a excrement.

If the tables were turned, it's all we would be hearing.

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz has called for repeal of the bill that introduced Common Core. See if you can spot the problem with that.

I'm assuming he either voted to pass it or helped introduce it in some way.

Apparently there is no bill relating to Common Core and it had nothing to do with the Federal Government.
