[...] arguments and bald-faced lies that Democratic Jews cling to. This is a candidate who is so close to vulgar appeasement that he and his media sycophants take it personally when people talk about Chamberlain – even in [...]

It would appear that Senator Obama is the only one that wants tough, direct personal negotiations without appeasement!

Yea, just like Clinton was tough talking with North Korea right? They now have Nukes!

Obama owns appeasement… Not so much… President Reagan saw no problem with it; when dealing with both Iraq and Iran. President Bush’s granddaddy Prescott had no problem with it during WW2. Senator McCain managed to stretch all his credulity concerning President Reagan’s using it in dealing with Iran. It would appear that Senator Obama is the only one that wants tough, direct personal negotiations without appeasement!

“…But he took action and started the ball moving the right way and here’s a bet, now that it is moving, not Obama or even Kucinich is going to be able to stop it.

Empirically, Bush has been the best President we have had dealing with the middle east since Jefferson.

In brief, it feels like “déjà vu all over again.” As columnist Diana West puts it, “Nearly six years after September 11 — nearly six years after first visiting the Islamic Center and proclaiming ‘Islam is peace’ — Mr. Bush has learned nothing.” But we now harbor fewer hopes than in 2001 that he still can learn, absorb, and reflect an understanding of the enemy’s Islamist nature.

I’m not a conservative. Hell, I’m not even a party guy. I just interpret the facts as I see ‘em.

Empirically, Bush has been the best President we have had dealing with the middle east since Jefferson. Yea, that includes Reagan. He wasn’t perfect, the place is a snake pit and I’m not sure Jesus could fix it in 8 years if he had deal with Congress and an uneducated American electorate. But he took action and started the ball moving the right way and here’s a bet, now that it is moving, not Obama or even Kucinich is going to be able to stop it.

History is going to be a lot kinder to Bush than the MSM.

JackStraw @ Ace of Spades

Jack made two excellent points that I haven’t read from anyone else, so I brought his comment over here. Agree as I think I do with him, or not as you may; his ideas hold water better than the denounce and burn rhetoric that I’m turning off now to enjoy the weekend.

You call this a political party?

Republicans are bracing for a political annihilation of epic proportions after losing a special election this week in a solidly conservative district in Mississippi — yes, Mississippi.

We can call this “a harbinger.”

A betrayal of fiscal conservatism and limited government by George Bush has fractured the Republican Party, and mending it won’t be easy. Certainly, co-opting liberal ideas and repackaging them for moderates has failed to elect a single Republican. You may wonder, then: Why does it remain the GOP game plan?

Exhibit One: Republican presidential hopeful McCain unveiled his plan to nationalize energy with a cap-and-trade system (among other nuggets). McCain, in a speech that could have easily have been delivered by Al Gore, bemoaned the “profit” motive and claimed his solutions were “market”-driven.

Republicans, sadly, have offered little else. If they believe victory can be found in convincing voters that Barack Obama (or Hillary Clinton) is a traitor or that Iraq is worth 100 years, they will lose.

It’s about time members of the GOP stopped being enablers. And a decisive defeat in November would be the perfect start.

The Obama camp struck back hard for 2 reasons: Weakness.

1. Fearful of generally appearing weak in global neighborhood of thugs and killers
2. Appearing to be weak vis-à-vis Israel.

In both instances this perception hurts his already soggy support among the Jewish vote and the labor Democrat vote.

Actually, they may be onto something clever (in their minds), which is to accept the appeaser moniker on behalf of Obama (thinking it will not stick for long) and then clubbing McCain with supposed Bush support (ala 3rd term of Bush). Maybe too clever by half.

Senator Biden suggested President Bush should… ”get in touch with his [own] administration.”
He went on to say…“I assume he’s going to fire his Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense,” Biden said. “They want engagement of Iran.”

Is there something in the water at Crawford, Texas? He was just there for a wedding?

If George W. Bush actually wants John McCain to win then he should keep as low a profile as possible as the dems would like nothing better than to run against George W. Bush. But then maybe Goerge really wants McCain to lose so that Jeb can run in 2012 just as Hillary will really be wanting Obama to lose so that she can run in 2012.

As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: “Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.”

Also, lets not forget the USA’s sad response to Hitler…nothing, until after a few million Jews were killed.

George Bush has become the Jimmy Carter of the GOP.

Monkei on May 16, 2008 at 5:00 PM

How in the world is a fascist warmonger who lied us into a war for oil and hegemony abroad and who has his jackboot planted squarely on the Bill of Rights at home the Jimmy Carter of the GOP?

And look, there are Hooooovervilles springing up everywhere, the economy is so bad, but we have about 5% unemployment compared to Carter’s 10%, and an interest rate of about 2% compared to Carter’s 20+%. Anybody remember the misery index?

Yeah, Dubya is Jimmah.

The War We Need To Win
Barack Obama

And we know what the extremists say about us. America is just an occupying Army in Muslim lands, the shadow of a shrouded figure standing on a box at Abu Ghraib, the power behind the throne of a repressive leader. They say we are at war with Islam. That is the whispered line of the extremist who has nothing to offer in this battle of ideas but blame — blame America, blame progress, blame Jews…

Gosh, I could swear that that’s what you, the Democrat Party and Reverend Wright say about us (except perhaps the “we are at war against Islam” part).
