And to think people have the audacity to think that all of a sudden it's driving people off. Should've brought that up 7 years ago.

Reagan was a blight. economically he was ok, but he shafted the middle class and the poor to make the rich richer, so if that's what a republican thinks is a great president, then, well, that's too bad.
pay for education and medicine, get the economy in order and stop dropping so much wasted tax dollars into the military industrial complex. It's pretty simple, but i guess the addiction to war is strong.
America needs a 12 step program to get off the roller coaster of meddling and destroying other countries for the sake of the roads to rome. Sure, many of these countries are backwards tribal scumwater holes, but if America was so great, it would have been working harder to help the world resolve it's issues instead of making them worse.
exploiting chinese and indian labour at the forfeiture of security and income at home is a perfect example of why not to vote for a republican. The military industrial complex status quo is another example of why not to vote for old schoolers. Strangleholding countries with debt they can't pay off at the interest rates is not good foreign policy. Putting standing armies into other peoples countries without conventional wisdoms blessing is folly.
oh, it could go on and on and on couldn't it.
Kung Fu is good for you.
