Yes...we know. Hillary is evil, horrible, the antichrist in a skirt etc.etc. etc. On the other hand I'm sure if we elect one of those fine, christian pure, goody two shoes republicans, America would be magically transformed into a capitalistic utopian paradise just like it was when we had our good old boy George W Bush in The Whitehouse. I'm sure hoping we c ...[text shortened]... ill! (By the way...have they found any of those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq yet?) 🙄

The discoveries of these chemical weapons did not support the government’s invasion rationale.
After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Mr. Bush insisted that Mr. Hussein was hiding an active weapons of mass destruction program, in defiance of international will and at the world’s risk. United Nations inspectors said they could not find evidence for these claims.
Then, during the long occupation, American troops began encountering old chemical munitions in hidden caches and roadside bombs. Typically 155-millimeter artillery shells or 122-millimeter rockets, they were remnants of an arms program Iraq had rushed into production in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq war.
All had been manufactured before 1991, participants said. Filthy, rusty or corroded, a large fraction of them could not be readily identified as chemical weapons at all. Some were empty, though many of them still contained potent mustard agent or residual sarin. Most could not have been used as designed, and when they ruptured dispersed the chemical agents over a limited area, according to those who collected the majority of them.
Originally posted by RJHindsPerhaps, perhaps not. But you can bet that none of the Republican candidates do either. In fact, most feel like John Boehner: proud that they have voted down "entitlements" time and again. The problem is, those "entitlements" are the last hope for many who have fallen through the cracks in the system. And there they are, proud that they have told the lowest segment of society "no". I wonder if any of them have told a homeless person to "get a job" recently.
Do you really believe Hillary Clinton or any of your liberal Democrats have any plans that will solve all those issues you mentioned?

Originally posted by SuzianneHouse Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy was running for speaker at the time and was trying to convince Hannity that he deserved the Job, so he told a political lie as many politicians do. But he was correct that the investigation on Benghazi did uncover the email scandal as well as the Hillary's lying coverup that had an effect on her poll numbers. Hillary wasn't even running for President when the Benghazi Investigating Committee was put together. So he was wrong on that point as the reason.
Why don't you say anything about what House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said about the Benghazi investigation?
Here is some help for you:
Hillary Clinton feigned ignorance when she was questioned about the Benghazi gun-running program by Senator in January 2013.

Originally posted by SuzianneI doubt if you can cite a single instance of Hilary Clinton doing anything to help anyone who is down and out. She is as bonded at the hip to corporate interests as any Republican, perhaps more so depending on the issue.
