Quit Picking on the Republicans
- Thread starter Kreskin
- Start date
Iraq, Afghanistan and ISIS are the result of Republican heartlessness. Money, Money, Money.... Fvck the people. Who cares how many women and children die as long as there is money in it.
if only all could see or at least be open to the possible, but I doubt that will happen in my life time
Jeb Bush says: now that is priceless
he may well have a point
Actually Isis Iraq and Afghanistan are all the result of an idiotic religious fight that has lasted 1500 odd years .
But blame Bush .
But if blaming Bush makes you feel superior....by all means................

ISIS is the result of BHO's inability to negotiate leaving a few thousand soldiers in Iraq to keep the peace.

other than blatant stupidity how would blaming a politician (of another country even) make one person superior over another human being holding a differing opinion...
oh wait, I know some who do hold that belief though...yeah I can see how that might confuse you
lmao...yeah okay....
thanks for trying to play
I have no party to be loyal to . I do however try to attribute the actual history of a region to the events that are happening in the present .
You know those who ignore history are bound to make the same mistakes .
But go ahead blame all the worlds ills on George Bush and those stinking rotten republicans .
It is much easier to mindlessly hate isn't it .
Hey I used that history line above before reading your post .
But if blaming Bush makes you feel superior....by all means................

I read world history not Yanky history which leaves out the stuff that makes them look bad. Yanky, British and French are to blame for the mess in the middle east going back a hundred years. Bush and Cheney are responsible for Iraq and Afghanistan, Al Quida and ISIS. Obama has been a really big disappointment in not putting an end to it sooner like he promised. That only proves to me that it doesn't matter who is in power (?) because politicians don't really make those decisions. They just cow tow to the their masters in the military/industrial complex. People should have listened to Eisenhower instead of getting sucked in by the propaganda.
For the history expert......
Here is a bit of history that can't be blamed on the American...and conspiracy theories.....
read the timeline before the first crusade........

Hastert, in hiding since indictment and molestation allegations, finally due in court
Hastert, in hiding since indictment and molestation allegations, finally due in court - The Washington Post
In late May, J. Dennis Hastert, the former U.S. House speaker, was indicted by a federal grand jury, accused of breaking banking laws in an attempt to hide a "past misconduct."
That past misconduct was later revealed to be an allegation that Hastert — a former wrestling coach and high school teacher — had sexually molested a student in Illinois decades ago.
Hastert, the longest-serving Republican speaker in the history of the House, is expected to appear in court on Tuesday afternoon, appearing in public for the first time since the indictment was announced.
His arraignment before U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Durkin is scheduled for 2 p.m. CT in downtown Chicago.
[Read: Indictment of former House speaker Dennis Hastert]
Hastert faces two felony charges, neither of which relate directly to the allegations of sexual misconduct that have drawn the attention of friends and associates in Yorkville — the Illinois community about 50 miles from Chicago where he taught — to Washington and beyond.
He stands accused of illegally "structuring" cash transactions in a manner to avoid federal bank reporting requirements and with lying to FBI agents who confronted him about the cash payments.
On Monday, ABC News reported that Hastert -- who has been in seclusion and completely silent since the indictment -- emerged from a vacation property in Wisconsin to drive to his home in Plano, Ill., "where he did not slow down as he was met by reporters at the gate. "

With the indictment, Hastert will be come the latest in a long, bipartisan line of political defendants to walk into the glass-and-steel Everett McKinley Dirksen United States Courthouse.
Most recently, Chicago's federal courthouse was the venue for the two lengthy trials, in 2010 and 2011, of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D). The first ended in a mistrial; the second ended in convictions on 17 counts, and Blagojevich is now serving a 14-year prison term.
In 2006, the 30-story courthouse hosted the trial of former Gov. George Ryan (R), who was convicted on charges related to steering state contracts and served more than five years in prison.

Hastert will be represented by Thomas C. Green, a veteran Washington-based white-collar defender. Green's hiring was confirmed Monday by Carter G. Phillips, chairman of the Green's firm, Sidley Austin LLP.
Green has a 40-year history of representing political figures in some of Washington's most infamous scandals, including Watergate, Iran-Contra and the "Keating Five." More recently, he represented a key figure in the federal investigation into former D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray's 2010 election campaign.
While Green is based in Washington, Sidley Austin is a storied firm founded in Chicago shortly after the Civil War. President Barack Obama worked as a summer associate in the Chicago office in 1989, where he met his future wife, Michelle Robinson.
Notably, Hastert is not being represented by Dickstein Shapiro, the firm whose lobbying practice he led until the day of the indictment.
[Hastert indictment is related to old allegations of sexual misconduct, law enforcement official says]
In the past few days, former wrestlers that Hastert had coached as teens have received knocks on their doors and telephone calls from journalists as the story traveled around the globe. At the Yorkville Public Library, where old high school yearbooks are kept, a sign-up sheet carried the names of reporters who had stopped by on Friday and Saturday.
[Hastert's post-Congress life one of political withdrawal and chasing cash]
"I think this town is more shocked about it than anything else," said Yorkville resident Richard Barbieri, 61. "Disbelief, I would say, more. Of anything that would be — he's always been a nice guy. That's why I find it strange."
The indictment alleges that Hastert, who is expected to be asked to enter a plea Tuesday, was trying to pay $3.5 million to an unnamed individual as part of a cover-up. The act or acts that Hastert was accused of trying to hide are believed to have occurred while he was an Illinois teacher, before his days as a politician.
The victim is believed to be a former student, though Hastert isn't expected to face charges in connection to the molestation allegations.
"He doesn't strike me as the type of person to do anything," Barbieri said. "But I keep going back to the point of — why would he be paying a bribe? To save his reputation? Is it worth that much money to save your reputation? I don't know."
With Blago, the Democrats immediately got rid of him.
Let's see moral Christian Republicans apply the same standard.
