There isn't a thing Harry utters that isn't word for word, phrase for phrase, mantra for mantra a direct copy and repeat of current talking points made by leading Congressional Democrats, their strategists or liberal cable show hosts. It's amazing to witness. One of the sheep. And how is that different from what you've been doing, but from the "R" point of view? You've got the "R" talking points down pat. Don't kid yourself. Going back to Big Ed Schultz ... his primary purpose in life is to raise dust and cause trouble. He's the darling of labor unions and blue collar liberals and (like Harry) cannot imagine a world that can survive without them. Also like Harry he doesn't mention dirty games the unions play like the recent demonstrations in front of an automobile dealership that hired non-union carpenters to do some renovations to it's showroom. Union carpenters didn't conduct the demonstrations however. They had to work. Their union *hired* people to do the protesting and conduct the demonstrations. Isn't that just lovely. A private business is demonstrated against, possibly affecting their sales and ability to conduct business simply because they exercised their freedom and right to determine and hire who they wanted to do some work. Sick. If that dealership can prove lost sales for the days the demonstrations were conducted they should sue the carpenter's union for every penny of lost revenues plus a goodly lump sum for general aggravation. Yada, yada. If you don't like it, turn the channel to Fox News. Pretty sure they cover the evils of unions. BTW, Schultz bucked the unions in coming out against Keystone. Not that I give a tinker's damn what he does. It's not a question of whether I like it or not. I like to stay somewhat informed as to what each party is advocating or doing. I have often expressed my negative opinions on the ultra-right Teabaggers like Ted Cruz and others. To me they are as dangerous if not more so than than many of the liberal progressives. Interestingly, as I sit here listening to "Morning Joe" this morning it struck me as they interviewed Madeleine Albright (former Secretary of State in Bill Clinton's administration) regarding Ukraine and Putin's ambitions that she is advocating stronger vigilance, alluding to "other" military options the USA has available (other than troops on the ground) in Ukraine or other ex-Soviet satellites. Her stance and references to the use of military assets are stronger than any of the right-wing "warmongers" that Harry references. I didn't hear it but apparently Putin delivered a speech during the annexation signing ceremony of Crimea that smacked of his nostalgic desire to return Russia to it's former glory and power it had as the Soviet Union. That's something to pay attention to. Power goes to people's head sometimes and we've ignored for too long many nut cases in the past. I just started Clancy's new book, "Command Authority". It seems to parallel the current actions by the Russians - only Putin's name not used. |

What is the GOP advocating in terms of foreign policy in the current situation with Russia and the Crimea? What is the GOP advocating in terms of an alternative to the ACA? Is there more than "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi," and 50+ attempts to appeal the ACA? -- Rand Paul & Ted Cruz…your 2016 GOP nominees, because ‘Mericans deserve crazy! |
