Sorry, got caught up in a lot of stuff and forgot to reply.

Well there's only two possible routes available to them now, change or get cancelled. I'm sure any person with the slightest bit of common sense would have picked up the message after a year of complaints and criticism.

Yet they just don't stop getting recruits and expanding. An extremist group is problem enough, but the rate at which they're growing and attacking is insane. If they don't get stopped now in the relatively early stages, they'll soon be unstoppable. Their little "nation" is growing like a plague, and is relentless in their endeavors. They don't even stop to plan and wait, just ruthlessly orchestrating attack after attack.

True, no one can be sure about how hypothetical alterations to historical events would turn out. Only thing safe to say was, Bush's presence didn't help easing the recession. I guess even if he's not the sole blame, he definitely helped it along with encouraging the bankers. Oh no, to say he's done nothing couldn't be further from the truth. Even if you're not happy with the result, no one can deny he's actually gone forward and tried to make an effort to repair the country. You can tell when a leader is doing something for the greater good and when they're doing it for personal interest of securing their term. With the former there will be lots of personal stakes and sacrifices in order to ensure the best in the long run. Guys like Bush and Abbott, are unable to think 5 feet in front of them, and only butter things up to look appealing to the current populace, with no regard for the future.

I don'y think anyone would envy it. Any educated person will have realized how much of a mistake and waste of lives and resources that was, perhaps even Bush himself. Wow, screwing his campaign before he's even had chance at a term. Political future not looking bright for him. I know people hate it when politicians lie, but for his own good it might pay to be a little less brutally honest on that issue.

I meant that figuratively. When actually breaking stuff down and seeing how it could have otherwise been, it can be immensely depressing, esp. considering if what was gotten was pretty terrible. Well even if he didn't make it to the top in politics, he's still exerted a very big effect on the world and certainly hasn't been wasted. I'll be the first person to congratulate him when he succeeds in shutting down those conspiracists. Oh did he? Props to Obama for doing that, yet another reason why he's a deserving president.

Huge embarrassment on their part which is a stain that will probably never fully get wiped from their name. Can't imagine what their intelligence services were like if they were willing to make political decisions based on crap like that.

Oh yeah, fully agree. Been a while since the Republicans have had a decent candidate capable of accomplishing what's right. Hillary's definitely got the cred and experience covered with how much politics has taken up her life. She also stands for most of the same values as Obama has and can pick it up. Only thing I'm worried about it what the stress of the Presidency would do to her. Her time as Secretary of State already took quite a big toll. Charm is another thing they've yielded quite well, there's just an air of confidence and feeling they no what they're doing. No mumbling or uncertainty like many of the Republicans. Abbott also falls into the latter group. He can't get through one sentence without throwing in at least 3 "umms" and "errs". Lol, they do that terrifying thing from time to time. How I see it, it's also comparable to bribing a child with candy to conform to their wishes. Only unlike the comparison, the "candy" may or may not actually arrive. You can be sure I'm hoping for Hillary to be the next in presidency, though it's up to her and some unforeseen events whether she actually makes it.

Honestly I don't think he's smart enough to even quit when he's not too far behind (because saying he's ahead would be vastly inaccurate). First signs his party might be turning against him. Just last week on a Q&A session our Treasurer was asked if he would remove a tax which had a petition receiving 86,000 signatures, which he agreed to. Only for Abbott to address that issue the next day and contrast the statement by saying it wouldn't happen. Shorten even gave praise to the Treasurer for doing the right thing, even if the man above wouldn't cooperate.
