W was in charge of the country and a big portion knew there were no WMDs or Iraq had anything to do with 9/11, but Bush still won his next election.
While going about it the wrong way, I think Albany is correct (as much as it pains me) that Hillary will win. He as much said she was a bad candidate but, was voting for her anyway. That will be what most Dems/Libs will do. Couple that with the fact that she will be the first woman president and some will jump ship from the republican side just to see it happen. This is not much different in mentality that helped Obama win along with the liberal media (that was for you Albany with respects of course) favor returned.
I don't agree with a lot of your opinions, but I do enjoy reading your posts and respect your observations from your travels (I do hope you believe that)
and you got all of that out of one sentense suggesting we fix our crumbling infrastruce?

This is a Public Service Announcement for those whose history books only mention that Kelly Clarkson won the 1st American Idol, and believe that "Bush lied about WMDs and didn't ask Congress for approval"---
I'm slowly starting to realize that I may be out of touch, and that my worldview has become a minority in this country. But I think these things are still cyclical, and that the pendulum will swing back to the conservative side this next presidential election. Couple that with the fact that Hillary is not a good candidate to start with, and the real race will be during the Republican primary.
The real reason Dem candidates couldn't hammer Bush on it, was because they all voted for it too. Remember the famous Kerry line: "I was for it before I was against it".
What are your thoughts on America?
War for oil. Finished daddy's job.
Seriously, if you want to go fight the Iranians, then go join the Israeli army. We have zero need to go to war with Iran, regardless if they have nukes or not.
You need to go back under your rock.
Yeah, keep defending our "ally"...glad to see our national interests are more important to you. You're a real American.
We aren't going to war with Iran...we aren't going to bomb Iran...and we aren't going to allow Israel to bomb Iran. Even dumbass W wouldn't allow for that to happen and that was Israeli's best opportunity for assistance.

And don't mind our intelligence and the Mossad's intelligence that bombing Iran is the only surefire way to ensure the Iranians will develop nukes ASAP. Both have said that continuing to work through diplomacy is the best avenue. But hey, you're a douche and you know more...amitie?
Or is it your hatred for all things Obama...I feel like I am getting warmer.
You're right - I'm sorry....we should freely give our weapons to those that want them...like Bush did with arming the Iraqis (after we invaded the country with now determined false "intelligence").
This will be pretty difficult for Brian Williams to recover from IMO.
1) vaccination is not necessarily 100% effective, especially for people with compromised immune systems or those too young for the vaccine; 2) not everyone can get vaccinated (medical reasons), and those people have to rely on herd immunity; 3) immunization is not spread evenly or randomly, and there tend to be pockets of low immunization rates where outbreaks occur; and 4) if herd immunity requires, say, 95% of the total population to be immunized, then a higher proportion of those who can be immunized must be to achieve herd immunity.
