46,000 Killed by Heroin Overdose is a LIE

33. Look to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for this. I have a long memory.

Al Qaeda/the Taliban suppressed poppy growth rather stringently, but farmers saved bags of seed beneath their floorboards. As soon as Idiot Son and Uncle Dick destroyed that system of government and turned their backs, subsistence farmers hauled out the means for a cash crop and planted it.

Within a year or so, addicts were congregating along the borders outside Afghanistan. Within another year or so, cheap heroin came flooding into the West.

You want to blame someone? The path to addiction in the US is complicated, thanks to legal prescription drugs that weren't supposed to be addictive. We need to own that crap. But the flood of cheap heroin can be laid directly at the feet of Dubya and Dick.

This is part of the damage they did in 8 years. To imagine one Democrat could clean it up in his term in office with a Congress vowed to obstruct him at every turn is just fantasy.

I voted for Obama knowing he was our best chance to at least begin to repair the country, not because I believed he was Christ Almighty or Gandalf with a magic staff. I will continue to vote for the Democrat every time.

I will never forgive Bush/Cheney. I will never forget.
