Boehner...

What. The. *expletive deleted*.
When he was elected in 2010, he immediately quit talking about resetting the budget back to 2008 levels - and I haven't trusted him since.

It appears my mistrust is justified.  :facepalm:

So can we formally declare the USA as a terrorist-supporting nation, since it's allying with Al-Qaeda?

It is very easy to understand.

In addition to Saddam's chemical weapon stockpile, Syria has been keeping George Hamilton's lifetime stash of Man Tan on ice.  And Boehner wants it bad.

We've been selling them guns since the 80's. Is killing their enemies for them really that much different?

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

And McCain/Graham were making the rounds on the talk shows this morning.  I just don't know how I can vote for a party that puts folks like that in leadership positions.  These guys are Democrats through and through.  They are only in the Republican party, I believe, as agent-provocateurs of the left wing of the Democratic party.

Getting rid of another career politican would not bother me as long as he's replaced by a conservative.

Syria is a problem.  I don't know what the answer is for the US, but I would stay home and let the combatants fight it out.  The US looses no matter it does.  Why bother?  It is all about that "red line" and out president's "honor and credibility".  The other stable middle eastern countries should be involved as the outcome really does affect them.  The US just wants Israel safe and the oil to continue flowing.
