Remember when the wingnuts had Obama causing an Ebola epidemic across the US?

I listen to the local conservative talk radio driving to work each morning and they were all shitting their pants today. Rational thought left the GOP about time conservative radio became so popular. There is absolutely no objectivity. No common sense. No nuance. It's all black and white, for us or against us, my way or the highway. But they are loud. I'll give them that.
A cynic would say that the reason the right is hellbent on another ground war is because of the profits the military-industrial complex (that Ike, who Trump now loves, warned us all about---wasn't he a military guy to boot?) would make. To hell with the young guys who would go over there trying to find the enemy (who will mingle in with the civilians as soon as we show up in force) scouring the place and getting blown up by IEDs and snipers. Of course, they could then blame Obama for the loss of American lives and tell us all his plan is feckless, incompetent, cowardly (pick you disparaging insult).
Imagine had Obama shuttled bin laden's family out of the US in the days after 9-11 like Bush did. Imagine.
Shuttled out the Saudis then went to war with Iraq! These Buffoons on here wouldn't know a Shia from a Sunni from a Wahabbi if they studied all night. That will work out when dealing with all the different middle east countries not to mention the Southeastern Muslim countries. They also forget who it was Reagan and America was arming back in the good old days when Russia was our enemy and any enemy of Russia was our friend. The level of simplicity that Carson , Cruz and Trump attribute to Foreign Policy is amazing.
I completely agree. Just have to get the voting republicans to understand this.He would be much more scary here...
I honestly think the "voting" GOP already understands this and I think it will be seen on election day with IA, NH, and SC
I hope you're right, and I think you probably are. I understand the attraction of an "outsider" with as dysfunctional as our government has been, but the problem with these outsiders is that they don't know what they don't know. Senators and governors have been in the mix and if there are things they don't know, at least they have a better idea of what those things are.
The "enemy of my enemy" has been applied throughout the history of this country. Some could argue the mess in the ME was created post WWII.
It's funny too, because so many of those blue states don't have the best in terms of economies, budgets, etc.
The best economies/ Try the worst. Calif,Illinois, NY, Maryland will all be looking for federal bailouts. I hope that the repubs are in charge so we can tell them to go pound sand.
