Gutless!

Far left? Even if from your perspective the changes offered by the Democrats are 'far left'; most of what they have accomplished was promised during the campaign and IMHO necessary for the country. Of course we can and should debate issues, such as changes in domestic and foreign policy or 'staying the course' set by Bush&Co. But debate should be honorable and rational. My biggest complaint being the Republcian Party is so focused on returning to power they rely solely on emotion and demogoguery.
Where are the leaders of the Republican Party? Why has the GOP devolved and fractured into half a dozen or more ad hoc groups?
Because, there is no one leader able to bring consensus to an alternative to the Democratic Agenda (which I generally support, btw). Both the D's and R's if left unchecked will drift further away from the wants and needs of the great middle.
Few of us would want an ideologue to make the rules, most Americans (I believe) want a problem solver, someone who understands the problems and dreams of all Americans and is able to articulate a pragmatic approach to achieving them.
The R's have no one on the horizon willing to step up and provide a plan. Sadly the only opposition to the D's today are ideologues and demagogues. If I'm wrong, name one.

Would that be anything like the debating done by the Democrats on the stimulus or the health care bill? You remember, no one read it because there wasn't time, and all the nice little backroom deals. That kind of Debating?

Yeah.....that's what it was.....no one had any time to read anything.....

What evidence? That Obama appointed Shinseki? WHo disagrees he did that??

Go back and read it, Rabbi. The article addresses the dispute the General had with the admin on the number of boots needed to win the peace. It proves he was right, and the admin was wrong.

Really? It proves it? And? So what? Do you even know what you are arguing about Jake?

You can't argue it, in other words, Rabbi. Bush et al should have gone in with several hundreds of thousands of troops in order to secure the peace as well as speedy victory. They ignored crucial advice from the professionals, and did the dumb thing anyway.

There is a reason why we rely on the advice of professionals: to avoid excessive costs and irreparable harm. More than 4,000 dead and scores of thousands of wounded Americans, only God knows how many injured and dead Iraqi, and a $50 billion estimate (which would be paid with Iraqi oil) to an excess of $750 billion price tag.

And you want us to go back to the days of the GOP with Boehner and McConnell?????

Yes, much of the Tea Party is in la la land.

It's soooo easy to be a Mon morning quarterback, Jakey. Maybe you could try out with the Steelers.

The neo-con/corporatist model of government as exemplified by the Bush terms has proven a failure. Why would anyone want to go back? The fact that you ignore history startles me.

You ever going to get around to proving your assertion that I tell lies, boy?

No?

Oh. Okay. That makes you a

Dumbass.

I'm glad you find your hypocrisy being pointed out amusing. You should be used to it.
