    imagine if these people put even 1/1000th of their ire towards the bush administration and their failures on 9/11. or one of the dozen or so embassy/consulate attacks that happened during the bush presidency.

    our government spent more time and money investigating benghazi than they did on the worst terrorist attack on american soil. just goes to show that the main motivation here is partisanship...nothing more.

    you supported george w. bush. you have no credibility when it comes to questioning others decision making and judgement.

    3000+ civllians died on 9/11 and quite frankly there is just flat out more evidence that Bush ignored intelligence and was more 'negligent' with the events that lead to 9/11 than there is of Hillary giving a 'stand down order' or being 'negligent' or responsible for the deaths of 4 Americans yet how many more investagations on Bengazi have there been over freaking 9/11?

    This is going to sound harsh but I lost all respect for some of the family members of the victims of Benghazi. They are politicizing their family member's deaths to the max. It's disgusting.

    “The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.”

    It is interesting to note that after 9/11, there were a number of widows that were critical of the government and conservative pundits led by Ann Coulter were very critical:

    How many of those wives went to the national DNC convention and explicitly blamed their husband's death on George W. Bush? I don't think DNC leaders would allow that. Chalk that up to being 'pc' or whatever, but I doubt they would swing that low.

    But according to the Kasich adviser (who spoke only under the condition that he not be named), Donald Jr. wanted to make him an offer nonetheless: Did he have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?

    When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.

    Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?

    “Making America great again” was the casual reply.

    I always hoped that our fellow countrymen weren't this stupid. But they've truly fallen for a snake oil salesman and I cannot figure out why.

    It's a perfect storm. Everyone has to hope that education is pushed more on the next generation(s). For us so hopefully they can't be duped by this transparent farce. I guess for them, black people can become educated so they will quit sucking the system dry, while they work hard every day :rolleyes:

    It increases my respect for Kasich that he refused to be Trumps VP and that he refused to endorse him.

    Holy ****. Did he seriously say that? That's a serious allegation of EXPLCIT racism that not even Rocketlegend cannot deny. How is the validity of the source?

    The media has given him $2B worth of free coverage... so that's something.

    Hard to know.

    It was written by a former employee who didn't like him. He has never explicitly denied anything or approved anything that the book said though he has joked it is probably true (the book itself, not specifically the thing about black people.)
