Iraq has the third largest oil reserve in the world not to mention Afghanistan which has a huge amount of lithium that we undoubtedly took a unfair portion of.

"Invasion of another country is the supreme international crime which encompasses in it all of the evilness that follows."
The United States participated in the unlawful invasion of Iraq which if the law of the land followed the above quote all who waged the invasion would be shot by volley from their executioners. It only seems right for war criminals.

As long as either party in power can run up trillion dollar deficits on a yearly basis without any negative implications, they will remain popular.
Their irresponsible behavior has been rewarded thus far, but it can't last forever. When the day the of trillion dollar deficits and then a printing press to finance the debt comes to an end, both parties will have some major issues.
What is the breaking point? $20 trillion in debt, maybe $25 trillion?
What wasn't reported after the 2012 election was the voter turn out results, which clearly showed both parties are losing popularity, as the "most important election in our lifetimes" resulted in -5% less voters than 2008.

If Obama care fails, like it well may, then the Dems will fall fast imo no matter how ugly the other side is.

The ACA passed. It has already succeeded. If it's programs don't work as intended, our legislature will continue to pass bills to fix the problems- as is their job, and as they should in an everchanging world.

it doesn't matter if it passed. I hate that argument, 'its the law now so give up.' Alcohol was also against the law at one point, and slavery was legal. Just because its 'law' does mean it shouldn't be challenged.

Thats not what I said, did you read beyond my second sentence? I hate when people say 'If obama care fails' How would it fail? It's a law, it puts into effect exactly what it was written to put into effect. Now, it might not work as intended, but it's just some new regulations. It's not going to cause all of the hospitals in the country to suddenly explode.
I hope it gets challenged, and reworked, and made better. I can't stand the people who think 'Oh no, the website has bugs, the entire act is a failure, so we should scrap the whole thing.'

It isn't the legislatures jobs to 'fix' bills. it is their job to do what their constituents want. Or let's be more correct--it is their job to do what their bosses want. and the people are their bosses.

Hahahaha what? Its the LE-GIS-LA-TURE, they LEGISLATE aka write bills. It is absolutely their job to fix the laws, no other branch has the power to do so. No, it is not their job to to what their constituents want. We have a representative democracy, not a direct democracy. You have every right to tell your senator what you want them to do, it is still up to them to decide what is best for your district. Of course, if they don't at least follow what you generally want, you'll vote them out. But ultimately we have representatives because we assume they understand the issues and politics better than us, and so will make good choices for us- not so that we have a puppet to control.

I'm sorry but it was a perfectly lawful response to Iraq invading Kuwait. Did you forget that little episode or did you never know about it?

It has succeeded in eliminating my health insurance. Obama is granting favored cronies waiver after waiver and exclusion after exclusion. There is no fix for stupid. He lied, they all lied. I bet not one single politician who voted for it or signed it read it.

This by far the most important factor to consider for the future of the US. People are moving to cities at the expense of rural communities at a very fast pace.
People in cities have are more liberal because they are crowded and need to learn to live in a large community. The Democrats will always control the urban areas unless the Republican party starts being smarter.
