8. republicans: "When the military is your trump card, why ever negotiate? Just play the 'card'.

republicans love of spending on the military is linked to their love of using the military. Diplomatic negotiations minimize the need for both which is not good for defense contractors or republican donors.

14. I love our President

Even if I disagree with some of his platforms like the TTP and his drill oil everywhere and his let the banks off the hook stuff because I understand,in politics, you have to choose your battles.
I think he a accomplished so much and in the meanwhile prevented the disaster that would have been under dare I say a Jm or MR presidency.[cant bring myself to write out the entire names] the outright hatred and blatant disrespect that he has dealt with has served to educate so many Americans and indeed world citizens to ignorance harbored here in our nation. Supported by the meanest minority to ever grace the face of the planet at a time when we are all at peril due to the greed and the avarice of a few. Maybe , the day will come , when we can greatly outnumber these horrible billionaires rejecting them permanently.

They didn't actually say it but that is what they want.

16. Republicans will settle for nothing less than wiping Iran off the map....

I say we make them happy by having Iran go back to it's original name of Persia.
