“When will the republicans call Obama what he is”
Rudy did a pretty good job of that a few days ago.
That answer was just his way, of weaseling out of answering the question. Not a wider critique of anyone.
I thing this is a very good question.
A whole lot of Americans are focusing right on this very issue.
I’m also going to avoid a specific answer, but I defend everyone to answer it openly, honestly, and to not pile onto anyone for stating their views.
This issue is big. The media just might screw up, and make it even bigger.
If he’s really gonna run for president and he really thinks questioning Obama said patriotism is a bad idea, he should just sit back and shut up and watch his competition make the huge blunder.
Dear Leader has no patriotism. Remember his refusal to pledge allegiance, and remember when the flag lapel pin mysteriously appeared? He’s perfectly comfortable manufacturing appearances and rhetoric to satisfy us morons who are bitterly clinging to our guns and religion. Being completely transparent and hypocritical is not a problem for him so long as the media slavishly plays along, regardless of how absurd it is to thinking people.
There’s nothing sadder than a man doubling down on his own squishiness.
The truth is always painful to cowards.
Why would a congressman affirm Obama’s patriotism. Not his job. Stupid politics; like McCain affirming “they are honorable people”.
A little advice for Gov. Pence: if you don’t have anything bold or ballsy to say, on this topic, then just don’t say anything. Now the most recent impression we have of Pence is someone who is overly “PEN-SIVE’ about saying what’s obvious.
So we also have Lindsey “Linda” Graham calling Obama a patriot-
“I have no doubt that he loves his country. I have no doubt that he’s a patriot. But his primary job as president of the United States is to defend this country and he’s failing miserably.” http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/doubt-president-obama-loves-country-sen-lindsey-graham/story?id=29140578
I do not question that which I cannot see..................
Rudy is no longer a politician and he isn't running for anything. So in essence, Rudy is now just a member of John Q. Public, like the rest of us.
And Pence thinks that Rudy, John Q. Public, and all the rest of us shouldn't question Obama's love for this country.
How creepy.
I cannot question that which does not exist.
Cross Mike Pence off The List.
I kept hearing what a conservative Pence is.
Obviously not.
“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents — number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child.
That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.”
Barack Obama at a Fargo campaign event, July 2008
I don’t think that there’s any question at all.
Typical of e-republicans. Chastise one of yours and give democrats a talking point. Never see democrats do this. Notice no one in the democratic party get in Howard Dean’s face about what he said about Walker not graduating from college. They may think it stupid and irrisponsible but good soldiers they are, will not cross ranks with fellow rats. Charlie Brown will never learn! And thet BTW is how you win elections-stay on message.
Pence is talking strategy, not reality.
Strategically, he may or may not be correct.
Rudy is a pro-abortion, Republican....he thinks we should stop opposing same sex “marriage”.
Nevertheless, he has struck a chord with lots of people.
With all due respect to Governor Pence, America is not an online forum, and you don't get to moderate what's posted.
“.... a possible dark horse 2016 presidential candidate....”
.
He ain’t no dark horse no moh — he is a brightly flaming liberal lefty.
