Sen. Chris Murphy: Putin making it up
Politico ^ | March 17, 2014 | Tal Kopan

Fresh off a congressional trip to Ukraine, Sen. Chris Murphy on Monday rejected criticisms that Russia’s posture on Ukraine has something to do with the failures of the Obama administration, saying Russian President Vladimir Putin is improvising as he goes. “I think he is making this up as we go along,” Murphy said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” of Putin’s moves into the Crimean region of Ukraine. “I worry, though, that he’s going to realize he needs to move further than Crimea in order to get the end that he desires here.”

All things being equal, Poland will kick anybody’s ass, everytime. There’s a Pilsudski in the making right now, waiting for his moment in time to emerge.
Will the senator say that Xi Jinping is ‘making it up’ when China annexes Taiwan?
This is the right time in history for every two-bit dictator to make their move. They know America won’t object, or at least Obama won’t. Another weak kneed American leftist president.
Speaking of which, somebody said that Obama makes Carter look like Churchill. Isn’t that the truth.

Christopher Murphy shared a link.

My statement with Senator McCain urging targeted sanctions against persons responsible for the violence in Ukraine:

Bill Stevens

“I encourage the new government to implement the necessary economic reforms to stabilize the economy and set Ukraine on a path to prosperity, including rooting out corruption and increasing transparency in government finances.” Hey Christopher Murphy, why don’t you first encourage our government to do the same?!

When the United States says that our military will not have the capbility or focus to conduct specific types of warfare, say the worldwide deployment of conventional forces, what do you think our adversaires will get really good at? Ukraine is a powderkeg because the eastern portion never wanted to be Ukrainian, they are ethnically and historically Russian. Lets make the smart move and keep our mouths and hands to ourselves in this situation.

For too long, thousands of people across the country faced the nightmare of being unable to get health care coverage or treatment when they had the misfortune of getting sick. But thanks to the Affordable Care Act, that nightmare is over. Thanks to the law, if you are diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer, an insurance company can’t drop you from your plan or deny coverage in the future. You’re also able to catch an illness and treat it more quickly thanks to provisions in the law that make preventive care free.

No one should be denied coverage or treatment just because they are sick. Republicans should stop throwing their weight behind efforts to repeal these life-saving protections and instead work with Democrats to improve the law.

I’m not a millionaire. I’m a nurse whom is paying more than I ever have for my families health insurance. Ive had to put off doctors appointment for my kids until I have enough money in my HSA to pay for it. I can’t afford the eye drops that cost me $20 last and are now $160 this year. Obamacare has made the wealthy insurance and pharmaceutical companies even richer while the middle class suffer. I’m happy for you but I’m not happy that we have delusional politicians like Murphy that turn it into a mudslinging contest. Obamacare is corporatism at it best.

Murphy keeps his appearances quiet so as not to have true constitutionalists confront him on his oathbreaking activities. When they do get word and attend he controls the venue through avoidance. He does not represent the people of CT, he represents the power elite in Washington and will be kicked to the curb when his term is up.

Makes you wonder if we had Fred as POTUS how different things might have turned out.

That’s why people like you and me stand simply astonished that the world is aflame, but all they want to talk about and prioritize is sodomy and globull warming.

I miss Kaczynski, I am now much more suspicious that the Russians took him down.

Thanks for posting this history roadmap of radical left wing bs pushed by Murphy over the years.

No wonder Politico loves him.

What a terrible tragedy, not just for Poland, but for freedom everywhere. Big surprise that Putin was in charge of the investigation of the crash of the Tupolev, eh? Plane crashes have been used as tools for ridding regimes of their enemies for decades. I’m fairly certain that Hitler got rid of Albert Speer’s predecessor with a plane crash back in the 1930’s.
The Smolensk crash took out much of Poland’s top military brass as well, I think. Even W rolled over for Vladimir on that one. I can’t believe what’s happening to the US. Are we a nation of girly-men now? For shame. At least Pilsudski had cojones.

Pilsudski would be in Kiev by now.
