During WWII people sacrificed in all kinds of ways to support the war effort and I don’t recall reading about anybody whining about it.If I have to pay more for gasoline for a while to ensure the largest sponsor of terror the world has ever known is finally vanquished once and for all I for one have no problem with it.

Great argument, if only Trump made a similar argument before the election you might have case, but Trump promised the opposite and many people voted for him for that promise.

And for anyone that is so narrow minded they can’t see that I’d suggest that they pull their head out of their ass.....it ain’t all about you pal.

It's not about me, it's about all the squishy Republicans and Moderates who get mad every time they are paying an Israel tax at the pump and are now going to vote Blue or sit out the coming midterm.

That is the problem. There is really no choice. The Democrats would just drop off pallets of cash and the Bush republicans would have gone to war but not as competently. We are sort of along for the ride.
