Since thats exactly what they did, how can you blame the voting base for their loss?
It matters not. Obama will never allow Israel to defend itself.
I am NOT a Mitt supporter- by any stretch of the imagination, however-
This is (apparently- & this is the first I’ve ever head of it, so I googled) up in the air & (at least) appears to come from the left. I don’t know. I was a Gingrich supporter.
Mitt’s not running (not yet, anyway) & I stand (with regret & frustration) by what I said. No matter how much I might agree with social conservative causes, cutting off our noses to spite our faces only harms everyone & we wind up with much worse than what we were trying to avoid.
(I did vote for Romney in 2012. There wasn’t, technically, a ‘’dime’s worth of difference’’, but I wanted 0bama gone more than I objected to Romney.)
i do, skeeter. We are very close to 50-50 in this country. Financial conservatism (even considering the gibsmedats- in fact, especially considering them) will win with more of the independents than social causes. People are very, very indoctrinated & it’s going to take a while for them to come to their senses, if a majority ever does. That is not to say roll over & give up the fight, by any means, but it’s crazy to destroy a candidate who is actually far better than the opposition & who *might* move things in a better direction, just because he isn’t the ‘’anointed one’’.
There’s no excuse for the GOPe insulting anyone, ever. I’m really surprised at the vitriol being lobbed back & forth by the supporters AND the pundits’ editorials go without saying. Eegad, what a climate! No wonder so many people just tune out. (I have made my choice & am ready to tune out, myself. That is a 90% probability, going up).
I don’t know who ‘’your’’ candidate is, but at this point the only candidate who is not prostituting himself is Trump (& I am NOT proselytizing for Trump- at least not right now) Nobody has ‘’clean hands’’ anymore. That’s the problem.
I cited why I blame this *portion* of the voting base. Do ‘’reliable’’ voters sit out an election when their preferred candidate isn’t chosen?
Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse has laid the situation out perfectly. We are in the situation we are in. (”it is what it is’’)
We need to quit being our own worst enemy- but I’m not going to hold my breath.
They never apologize, even though on social issues most Americans are clearly on our side. And they still win.
What I would give for a party of fighters that spoke for me the way the democrats speak for the left. Instead of the gaggle of bland poltroons we're stuck with.
A lawsuit? Is that the best Boehner has?
Obama just can’t wait to give $150 billion to terrorists.
Apportioning blame on the internet doesn’t help matters. What’s on the streets of DC? Crickets.
I agree. The smug, holier than thou, uppity jerks who stayed home because pure white was not available IS the reason for this debacle. Shame on those and you know who you are.
The courts NEVER settle a dispute like this. The courts won’t touch it.
“It matters not. Obama will never allow Israel to defend itself.”
I suspect that when the time come Israelis will be relatively unconcerned about what Obama “allows.”
Why would Obama start obeying the law now?
Has the country ever experienced such lawlessness? Will banks follow Congress’ orders or Obama’s?
The anarchy grows.
I have no idea. I gave up trying to figure out where the left is coming from a looong time ago. I guess they’re influenced by all the Marxist BS, but really, I think they’re just warped/ mentally defective. If it’s filthy, if it’s ‘’shocking’’, if it’s contrary to the norm- or what was once the norm, they’re all over it. They run it into the ground & break it off.
I believe they ‘’win’’ because of ‘’by any means necessary’’. They lie, they cheat, manipulate & exploit EVERYTHING. Nothing is sacred. They are relentless & utterly without scruples.
That is just my assessment. Someone with a greater understanding of mental health & human behavior could probably do better.
There has been no Amendment to the Constitution.
This is a treaty, regardless of what Obama calls it.
Obama and the Senate are working in a coordinated fashion, ignoring their duty and their oath, and allying themselves with an enemy.
Money laundered into their hands as the price for getting the "Great Satan" to take a nap. Judas worked a lot cheaper than this lot.
Rampant voter fraud put the greatest fraud since Piltdown Man in the White House, and NONE in a position to object meaningfully did squat.
Hey, the deeper their pockets, the more baksheesh for duh-1 and cronies.
Just as silly the second time.
I hope you’re right but Israel will need vital support from the U.S. Its an incredibly complex operation. I cannot imagine any scenario where Obama will grant the intelligence and logistical assistance necessary. And with each passing day, the military challenge becomes more difficult for Israel .
