Are the Repubs finally on offense?

[deltex1]

This could get really interesting. Word is the MinC is really pissed.




John Boehner s Bibi invite sets up showdown with White House - Jake Sherman - POLITICO

 

[Kondor3]

...but as you well know diplomacy is entirely the responsibility of the executive branch...

Unless the rest of the country does not agree with how the President is handling the situation, and if the Congress perceives the President to be acting in a fashion detrimental to the interests of the Republic and its People, in which case... there are ways, and there are ways.

If nothing else, Boehner's latest maneuver reassures a long-standing and, trusted and valued friend and ally, that the present Administration's lackluster dealings with Israel, and its timidity in dealing with Iran, are not representative of the American People, nor does the Administration have the confidence of the Congress in this regard. It also sends the message to that friend and ally, that all will eventually be well, once the present Administration has expired, and that the legislative branch of our nation's government has Israel's back in the meantime, while awaiting January 20, 2017.

He can't deliver a pizza for legislation, but he can ask one of the most loathed leaders in the world to address his House. He's doing .... GREAT.

And I don't like Obamacare and would like to see both long term reform of entitlements and eliminating as many special interest tax breaks as politically possible

 

[rdean]

Aggressive move by Bohner...hopefully it was purposely in the MinC's face. Get someone in here who knows what's going on the the Middle East. I don't think Bibi will opine that AQ is on the run, that the crisis has passed, or that unspecified "violent extremism" is the way to describe what we face.

Republicans don't even know the difference between Shiite and Sunni. They don't even know who to support. They think they can just rush in anywhere and bully people. Well, it won't work here and if it doesn't work here, it won't work there.

Republicans think an "invitation" is a military victory?

 

[BULLDOG]

The Kelly File is saying there are now sufficient votes to override any veto by obama concerning iran sanctions....breaking news...breaking Obamas balls........finally,,!

Fox says a lot of crazy shit. Let's wait and see what happens.

Never get in the way of your enemy when he's defeating himself. If anything else shows Boehner can't get the votes to move any of the gop senate initiatives, this would be it.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

You beat me to it Del. This is the most positive development since the repubs came into office. Sweep the pretender aside, protect our country, and don't let Obama make a deal that is bad for country and world. Obama loves to dish it out but he sure can't take it. Thanks for thread.

Exactly how is making sure Iran does not get the bomb without having to annihilate them a bad thing? No glorious bombing campaign and thousands of dead Iranians?

Not at all, it is quite within Congress' purview to invite foreign heads of state speak to Congress.

Pretty low-down of Boehner. Guess he does not like Obama trying to take away their designated targets for future profiteering wars.

Well. Oiler maker I guess Jesse Jackson should be in jail for trying to negotiate the release of Americans without govt approval. Damn guys, please learn your history.

Low down? Each House sets its own rules. Each House can invite whomever they want.
Do you dispute this?

I suppose they can but as you well know diplomacy is entirely the responsibility of the executive branch, or maybe you do not know that.

Wrong!

 

[Interpol]

Republicans aren't on the offensive. They had 5 different responses to the SOTU. They're too all over the place to be united to go on the offensive.

Iraq & Syria are the most dangerous places in the world right now. And North Korea is unhinged in a way that Iran isn't.

Of course Republicans think Iran is the greatest threat in the world now because they're shirtless friend from Russia has been brought to his knees by the Obama administration so the GOP is having to shift its sights elsewhere.

A Keystone fast-track to nowhere, an anti-abortion bill to nowhere and holding hands with a very unpopular Israeli PM show that Republicans are doing nothing but stepping on one rake after another.

I guess you missed the most recent administration statements that they are just trying to delay, not eliminate that possibility.

You presume the MinC has a strategy and a determination and an inspection process heretofore unachievable with any nation I can think of. Can you think of one?

It's almost like you want to destroy, invade and occupy another middle eastern country. How many American lives do you want to spend because you think talking to Iran is cowardice?

Iran violated the interim deal, what exactly do you think will make them follow a long term deal?
