The fact that it works makes it right. Sorry if that’s too blunt. I may not have avoided trigger words.

They wouldn’t be there to begin with if it weren’t for Obama (his voters) and the policy to get us all out.

Was it a mistake to do that? I don’t hear many saying it wasn’t.

If that’s your side’s selling point, awesome and good luck!
