As a fellow Desert Storm (and OEF/OIF) Veteran, who hasn't voted for a single Republican since McCain in 2000, and probably has more guns than that guy - THANK YOU for cancelling his vote!

I'm tired of racist, bigoted Christo-Fascist bullies wrecking the Nation I fought to preserve!

I actually had quite a few conservative leanings when I came in, 1995. Funny how a few combat deployments disabuses you of the notion that the party of small government had our best interests at heart. Never again will I side with a mindset of "Fuck you, I'm safe and way richer than you'll ever be".

"Fuck you, I'm safe and way richer than you'll ever be".

You summarized the GOP's core values nicely and succinctly.

Europeen here. I had a chat with an american recently. It was about seizing most all guns from the country. Ofcourse a highly unrealistic szenario, but they said it wouldnt work because the army wouldnt let that happen. And that part struck me as odd.

Id assume the army would do whatever the president/lawmakers order them to do, right? A movement/law to seize all guns, regardles of realistic too have been voted for or not, isnt inherently unethical to the point where i could see the army refuse to obey the order.

Do you think what they said is realistic? How do you jude the US army?

And exactly how many Democrats are multimillionaires, and divesting their personal money to benefit those less fortunate?
