This is tough for me.

Baghdad 07-08 Vet. IA. “The Surge”

My little brothers both served multiple tours in Iraq. Neither is doing well to this day.

I told myself that W was a decent and honorable man.

I think that I may have been wrong. That hurts.

Good for you, the Bushes and their Neocon interventionist and regime change foreign policy, no different than the Neo Liberal wing of the Dems going back to LBJ, along with this Globalist "Free trade system" which is not "Free and fair trade" is precisely why I abandoned the GOP, which I had been a member of since I turned 18 in early 80's (Regan era) till shortly after the end of the Bush term in January 2009. McCain and Milt Romney are cut from the same cloths of the NeoCon Bushes.

Now Independent, mostly Reaganite views with some of the core views from Ike era Republicanism, who warned of not only a Military Industrial complex, but much more in that speech (alliance of Defense industry, Academia, Media, and Hi Technology, which was sort of in its infancy back then) and still some from the Old Yellow Dawg Dems like Harry Truman who actually favored policies for working people and small business owners.

So Screw the Bushes, I despised Old Man Bush even when he was VP to Reagan, he undercut him every chance he got.
