How about them?
Politicians are, in general, not good people. They're not your friends or your neighbors. Democrats are just generally your run-of-the-mill scummy politicians.
The GOP has become a trainwreck full of people with values more in line with the ultra-conservative Middle East than with progressive Western nations.

Sorry I missed this.
How do I feel about Cheney? He's a war criminal and should face trial as such. US spending ballooned after 9/11, and the American people received such lovely gifts as the Patriot Act in return. Operated regime takeovers and waged war in mineral rich countries under false pretences much like children kill ants with a magnifying glass. War monger.
When it comes to Bush Jr, he says much more than I ever could.

My favorite is...
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
I have this on a tee shirt...
But this one is my favorite.
The Bush administration was a disaster. But it's not like things are getting better.
Congress supposedly cant agree on what to get for lunch, but in a rare form of bipartisanship just hammered through a 1.8
trillion spending bill, and not a peep. No one has noticed, we are all too worried about what some asshat with silly hair is doing.
The US has basically turned into a crony capitalist oligarchy; owned and operated by tech companies, the military, and other corporate interests.
Hell, watching the "facebook" sponsored events that resembled fear factor more than a presidential nomination debate should be slightly irritating no? Nominees were thanking facebook before introducing themselves, and then proceed to tell you how they are going to bleed for the little guy? Take money away from big bad corporate cuz the wittle guy needs a living? Derp ok.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Trump will never be a nominee, he's not bought and paid for. Cant have that.
Watching the debates we have nominees flat out saying we are gonna crowd Putin with missiles, create no fly zones over sovereign nations and if they look at us funny we'll punch em in the dick. Some nominees are calling it WW3. I'm honestly worried about the direction the US is taking and what it could mean socially in a country that is already experiencing unrest.
