We have had five years of bloodshed
Posted by psychopomp
Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of lives have been ended with bombs, bullets and beheadings. I would take five years of good speeches over that, any day.
Less seriously, I had to laugh at the opening line of the Clinton message, it reads like a parody of itself:
"Over the last few weeks, the question of who is most ready to be Commander-in-Chief has rightfully dominated the presidential campaign. Who is ready to take the 3 a.m. call? Who has a record of action on national security issues? Who is ready to be president on day one?"
:rofl:
