    Why is that?

    It's a genius question. I have no clue what your military experience is. Are you a former grunt?(11b/03xx)

    I'm not sure what this comment is referring to because it's probably one of the few people ridiculous enough to get put on my ignore list but yeah, there's WAY more conservative or Libertarian veterans than anything else. That doesn't mean that you can't find a Bradley Manning or a Bowe Bergdahl type, of course you can, there are all kinds of veterans out there.

    When it comes to things that "veterans support" my take on it has always been that there are thousands of veterans out there getting blackout drunk and nailing fat b****es with the clap every night....just because vets do something, doesn't make it smart or worthy of support in and of itself. A good example of a group of Bowe Bergdahl type vets supporting a cause was when 1000 of them headed to North Dakota to help vandalize the property of the locals because they don't like oil companies. It was stupid, but technically vets supported it.

    You've gotta say more about something than "vets support it" if you want to say anything of substance.

    Many middle class people are self employed or run their own businesses, man. So, those people are getting royally bent over with Obamacare right now. Just in duders last 3 years, I've seen my premiums go from $120 to $260 and now they're about to go up to $440 per month, and thats the lowest level bronze plan that just covers myself and with an extremely insane deductible of $10,000. Dude is only 35 too. I mean, I currently pay $750 a month for my apartment rent and $150 for my vehicle. Pretty soon, healthcare is going to be more expensive for me then my apartment is. Sure, I can write some of this off on my taxes but the problem is that when you're self employed you get screwed on your taxes because of the self employment tax, which pretty much wipes that out.

    If I make $60,000 in one year I end up paying about $12,000 in taxes, partially for being self employed. Then I have to pay the city of Houston another $4,000 a year because I run a limousine business and you have to register each of your commercial vehicles through the city of Houston and that **** is expensive to do. Plus commercial insurance for each vehicle you run as well as Ad Valorem taxes. Nevermind all of my other business overhead and stuff like that, man.

    Obamacare is making it harder and harder for me to put money into my savings accounts. I just fine it pretty offensive for Hillary to call me a deplorable because I guarantee you I work my ass off more than she ever did. It's 4:13 AM right now and I'm still working.

    Are you racist or misogynistic or xenophobic? If not, Hillary likely will not find you deplorable.

    Nah, all you have to do is not support her. Of course, now as she fades into obscurity, no one really cares who she finds "deplorable" anymore. Unfortunately for her, a large enough portion of the country found her to be "deplorable".
