Many of the anti-war Left are now pretending to infiltrate the Right by supporting Ron Paul (Yay, go Paul go, go Paul go).

Paleoconservatives are probably not as cozy with this arrangement as it seems, they don’t like the post-modern Lefts good tidings towards radical Islam, but you get your philosophical allies where you can find them.

Fred pulling a “Mitsu” here. All politics is all bad.

It wasnt Newt Gingrich that shut down the government in the 90’s. It was the democrats. The Republicans succeeded in impeaching Clinton. It just didnt amount to anything. Far from it being for mere propaganda value, it sought to punish a guy sitting in the highest office for actual perjury in the commission of an actual crime. Unlike what happened to Scooter Libby.

So, anyway Fred. Now that I’ve gotten all that out of the way–how are you going to vote this election cycle? Or are you going to sit this one out?

The Democratic plan is indeed “Lose at any cost”. Politics is played in the US at a level where it’s seen as okay to hurt the national interest if that’s what it takes to win the Presidency.

The Republicans are not immune to this. Gingrich shut down government and then the Republicans insisted on a doomed attempt to impeach Bill Clinton out of office. Just for the propaganda value.

Being married to a President doesn’t make you qualified to be the President, likewise for being the son of the President.

You know how you can tell when a Leftist is really desperate to make his point? He’ll appeal to Majority Opinion.

Because you know.. they always go along with what the majority wants.

I don’t know why you think the American People are ready or willing to commit troops (over 100 bases in construction?) and resources for the next generation to a misguided, illegal, and deficit-building fiasco , especially when they are confident they are about to reign control from the Republicans. Reality check?

I suppose next there will be a bill to negate NATO and other alliances that “tie the hands of future presidents through agreements with the (fill in the blank) government.”

Don’t forget Geneva “the US needs to follow the treaties it signs” that the Left keeps bringing up. Are the Left for the US abiding by any other treaties we have signed? Only if the Left says so. And they said no for Cuba, Vietnam, and pretty much every other foreigner the Left thinks they can crush underfoot.

And I thought these people were interested in diplomacy!

Diplomacy to the Left simply means doing what they tell you to do. It has never meant anything else.

Vince, it’s the villagers with pitchforks and torches chasing the monster; with the rally cry of “Gimme!”

It’s not chilling, it’s exactly what I expect from the dirty, dirty left.

This is Hillary speaking at length (unusual for her) on Fox about what economic things she wants to do.

it’s bone-chilling

And even more bone chilling is this Democrat-voter focus grouip reacting to the show last night
