Do they not remember Iraq where they tortured people to get them to say the information they wanted to hear and ended up spending a trillion dollars to essentially kill one evil dictator that did not have any nuclear weapons due to unreliable information that was gathered by torture.
4 years later begging for a second chance and I just can't help but shake the feeling that they're going to repeat the same stupid mistakes.
At this rate I'm starting to wonder if we're better off electing Obama. At least then gay marriage will have a shot and Roe vs Wade won't be overturned by the GOP "activist judges."

Rand Paul has also been a proponent of keeping the Pentagon in check....and I agree.
Also, Iraq was based on intel from Clinton hold-over George Tenat and had massive bi-partisan support.
If ObamaCare survived the SCOTUS, no way Roe v. Wade comes anywhere close to being overturned.
