  You are correct. :(
  
  He’s voted against aid packages/funding for disabled vets, PTSD screening and voted against an increase in provided body armor for actively deployed military members, yet he seems to always vote to engage in conflicts.

He’s so fucked, like most GOP up for re-election. Run from Trump, and feel his wrath... embrace Trump and you own all the shite he spews.

Looks like McCain’s going with Door #2

  McCain has been in government for far longer than Obama, and so I blame him for the rise of ISIS.
  Which is probably fair, because he enthusiastically endorsed the Iraq war and promotes bombing every North African and Middle Eastern country except Israel. His actions and rhetoric have opened space for ISIS to thrive.

Remember when John McCain used to be considered the leader of the reasonable wing of the GOP?

  No. He was a “maverick,” not a leader, and certainly never reasonable.

  McCain pivots a lot between someone you can respect and someone who sounds like Donald a Trump. It’s unnerving sometimes. There’s no middle ground — he’s either completely honest or repeating far right memes.

McCain is correct.

This is totally Obama’s fault.

Everybody knows that in order to stop terrorism,

all Obama needs to do is say, “Islamic Terrorists” three times in a row.

Has it been resolved yet if the shooter was an actual card-carrying, camp-attending, member of ISIS? Or was he, as it seems to appear, a completely loose nutjob and sociopath who happened to be Muslim and who found something in the Daesh movement that struck a cord with him? Hell, I remember Irish-American friends and relatives (including my own father) who were all about the IRA back in the 70s, and were constantly talking about it, collecting books on it, making donations to it, and even trying to join it, despite the fact that their despicable acts were regarded with horror and hatred by most in the world, including many Irish. But none of them actually attended any IRA meetings, helped assemble bombs, or smuggled guns over any borders. They just found the idea exciting, somewhat romantic, and culturally resonant. But they weren't freakin' IRA members. (As far as John McCain goes, I sure hope they're not letting him drive any more, and that his family members are making sure he's not buying bogus gold or other crazy stuff off the TV when everyone's gone to bed - gotta keep an eye on those oldsters when they start losing it.)

  Based on what I’ve read, the shooter didn’t seem connected to ISIS, but just threw his allegiance in at the last-minute and ISIS aren’t the ones to let a good tragedy go to waste.

  It seems pretty clear he was the latter, but I think Republicans want to present it as the former to attack Obama and Muslims in general. The problem is that we’re too quick to believe it rather than trying to deal with a complex human being who was probably influenced by a lot of things (including his own conflicted feelings).

To think in 2000 I might have voted for him had he made it out of the primary! He seemed reasonable! Dodged that bullet, I guess.

  That’s what makes him the WORST. He seems like a reasonable “maverick” type, but then he does the most disgustingly disingenuous shit when his grasp on power is on the line. Sarah Palin is only one example.

  My mom hates his guts for selling out to the rest of the party to get on the 08 ticket and then trying to run on his old “maverick” reputation anyway. She always claims she knows when he made the deal becuase all of the sudden he just stopped criticizing Bush at all.

ISIS top dogs are largely made out of soldiers from disbanded Iraqi army. Obama didn’t start this fire, you wrinkled old scrote.

  aka Debaathification, which was a Bush policy. Even when we De-Nazified Germany, we did it with overwhelming force and did it from the ground up, village by village. Bush wanted to do it on the cheap.

  And in Germany, we didn’t get rid of most of the government functionaries. We got rid of the political leaders, but much of the rank and file stayed in place. We didn’t disband the army.

If we’re just gonna be clutching at thin air, let’s go ahead and say this was Al Gore’s fault - he invented the Internet! Without that, Mateen could have never looked up crazy shit online, and that’s about tenuous his barely existent connection connection to ISIS is.

I’m so tired of pundits and lawmakers trying to pin down who “created” ISIS. I told one of my friends on Facebook recently that it was Woodrow Wilson.

Nobody is willing to accept that the source of something could be complex and multifaceted. I swear we are all getting dumber.

  I truly hope you’re right. I want to believe, generally, that individuals are smarter and more savvy than we are in groups; but man, it’s hard sometimes to think that when you see the idiocy people spout and share on the Internet.
