(16,113 posts)we shouldn't be wasting our time talking about our country violating other countries' air space with drones and killing SUSPECTED terrorists (and a bunch of civilians too). Those sort of things aren't nearly as important as the big issues like how fast Paul Ryan ran a marathon, what might be in Romney's tax records, what Ann Romney does with her time, or Scott Brown staffers making offensive sounds and gestures. Those are the issues we need to be talking about now, because they are important. Even on a Democratic web site where we know the people here are going to support Obama, and are capable of intelligently discussing both the good and bad aspects of the Obama Administration's policies, we still shouldn't be wasting our time on such trivial matters when there's these important issues that need to be discussed.
Drones bombing foreign nationals in foreign lands because we SUSPECT they're terrorists and we BELIEVE we've got the right person and we HOPE we don't kill too many civilians in the process is the sort of issue that's only important in election season when the repukes are in office.
