Former Texas President GWB and Texas Businessman/VP Dick Cheney Created Conditions

That Led Directly to ISIL:

The Iraq War -- and the Sunni power vacuum caused first by U.S. policies and then Al Maliki -- created the perfect conditions that allowed a vicious band of extremists to take huge swaths of territory.

And now many of the same people who caused this foreign policy disaster have the audacity to criticize President Obama's measured efforts to clean up the mess they created. And they do so often without ever saying what they themselves would do to solve the horrific problems that they created.

It reminds you of a bunch of arsonists standing at the scene of a fire criticizing the techniques used by the firefighters who are trying to extinguish the blaze they themselves have set.

And alleged war on terrorists breeds more terrorists.

The question is, do we even want to break that cycle? Doesn't seem so.

who talks drone war or boots on the ground, draft of women and men (like Israel/Ted Cruz) needs to be voted out of office as soon as they are up for election. Texans stood by and allowed a Canadian and a King to represent Texas in the US Senate.

As far as the Right Wingers faking Christianity, they have gotten lost to the fact that Israel killed Jesus Christ for his peace, love and war on greed. Recently ME Christians booed Cruz while the likes of big churches in Texas welcomed Cruz to describe how he will take down the departments of government of America. Texans seem to want to sit on a throne in the middle of the Seven Hills as some appointed Cruz to be their Dominionist King, as the One.

In other words, Americans are allowing the demoralization of America and is very prevelent in the State of Texas in my opinion.

Everyone please, go vote. American cannot take another Bush-type of person to lead this country.
