I can’t believe there are no lobbyist on obamas side.

There are plenty. The Democrats call their lobbyists “community activists.” A turd by any other name is still a turd.

But at this point I’m just going to shrug my shoulders and say “whatever”, because we’ve picked a deeply flawed candidate and we’re stuck with him.

Uh, I didn’t get to vote for the R candidate. He was chosen by the MSM long before I had a chance to vote. Thats the part of the system that needs fixing. Duncan Hunter or one of the the other true conseratives is a far better choice but the system was rigged by the MSM. Will I vote for McNasty, probably not.

No matter how many flags and azaleas the sellers put out on top, the fundamentals aren’t sound and that’s going to give you problems. But we bought it anyway, and we own it.

Agreed. McCain will have to bake a lot of bread and open more windows in order to attract the volume of prospective conservative buyers that he will need come November. Unfortunately, he hasn’t even fired up the oven yet.

JFK was willing to “bear any burden” in the cause of peace.

Unfortunately, this mainly translated into JFK assuming the bottom coital position with every willing participant besides Jackie.

Actually, you may be right, lgm. Didn’t JFK sit down with Khrushchev in Vienna while hopped up on Dones Back Pills? I believe this “burden” of Kennedy’s ultimately led to Khrushchev viewing him as inexperienced and weak.

PBS’s documentary “The Kennedys” explained that it was JFK’s inexperienced and flubbed, diplomatic performance in Vienna that led to his immediate face-saving call for an escalation of US troops in the Vietnam theater.

When it comes to liberal diplomacy, be careful what you wish for.

It’s like buying a house with foundation problems and a damp, creepy basement in a cruddy neighborhood. No matter how many flags and azaleas the sellers put out on top, the fundamentals aren’t sound and that’s going to give you problems. But we bought it anyway, and we own it.

Who’s to say the Dems didn’t do an Operation Chaos of their own?

LGM is worse than a dog laying a lawn sausage in some else’s yard..

He is credited with saving McCain’s flailing campaign last summer. Why would a movement conservative want to do this? McCain’s continued problems with the base indicate that either Black is no longer a conservative or that he has no influence on policy steering.

honestly, i’m not going to stop you from beating on mcshamnesty this time…he’s earned it. hammer away.

the dealing with israel/syria falls into a slightly different catagory. Geographically, israel is practically surrounded by its enemies. It would be the same(difference scope, but same idea) if the US and the USSR were in close border proximity during the Cold War.

In Israel’s case, they have a vested interest to talk to their neighbors and try to keep things peaceful. they’ve got no real allies on either border, and the Med on their west. It is because they are locked into place, and its good policy to get along with your neighbors as best you can, that they are doing that.
