Conservative politics are simply amazing

Conservative politics amazes me.

They use veterans during campaigns then disrespect and cut benefits for them later. Donald Trump’s disrespect of John McCain is basically the same as George Bush did to McCain in the 2000 primary and to John Kerry in 2004. This disrespect to veterans from individuals who hid from service during Vietnam is typical of conservatives. George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, who contrived our horrible involvement in the Middle East wars for profit not for freedom, are responsible for creating more terrorists than any other faction in existence now.

Conservatives are holding up legislation to continue benefits and health care for first responders to 9/11 and health care for veterans.
