Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, two potential GOP candidates for president, both without any platform on which to run, have decided that since they can’t come up with any kind of positive plan fore their presidency, they would come up with, at the very least, a negative plan, and that is to scuttle any nuclear agreement with Iran that might control said nation’s construction of nuclear weapons.
Both have introduced amendments to bills that would scuttle the entire treaty but neither has any constructive criticism of the treaty. Even fellow Republicans are trying to stop them but the pair of know-nothing, big mouths are dedicated to proving their individual lack of national or international agenda. Don’t kid yourself, neither of these buttheads care either way about the treaty, all they care about is getting face time on the tube and revving the engines of their dim witted base in an election season.
What Rubio and Cruz and like clowns are trying to do, is slip amendments onto a bill co-sponsored by both Democrat and Republican senators that would give congress some approval rights over the treaty as it is being negotiated. The Cruz/Rubio scuts are trying to add language to the bill that would say things like, “Iran agrees to admit that Israel has the right to exist.”
Now we all know that this will give the Religious leaders in Iran an excuse to drop the treaty. We all know that Iran has made it a matter of religious policy to deny Israel the right to exist and that despite this ridiculous stance the status quo has prevailed. We also know that if the treaty passes and the moderates in Iran gain power, this position will quietly slip into the void and rarely be heard from again. Actually, we don’t all know. Cruz & Rubio and their ignorant base don’t know mainly because they don’t know nuttin’.
Over and over Rubio repeats the chant of the uninformed; “ A bad treaty is worse than no treaty at all.” Really Marco? And what makes you think that this will be a bad treaty? He doesn’t know. No one knows, because the treaty hasn’t been finalized and until the last period has been hammered home, no one will know if it’s a good or bad treaty and that will be the time to decide whether or not the treaty is any good and that should be the time, and not until then, when the congress gets a say in whether or not it should be ratified.
Using something as important as this treaty to make political points should automatically disqualify Rubio and Cruz from holding any office above dog catcher. Rubio and Cruz seem to think that because they or their parents were born in foreign countries, that equips them to handle foreign policy. My grandparents were tailors but I can’t even thread a needle. These dumb clowns don’t have the basic intelligence to understand that you have to be able to read something before you have enough knowledge of it to bad mouth it.
And while we’re on Rubio; this is a guy who has made a huge deal about his personal narrative involving his parents coming to this country and creating the American dream for themselves and him. But he isn’t satisfied with that. He also wants it both ways. He also wants to grab far right votes by denying that same dream to everyone else. So by doing that he trashes his parents dream and stomps on it.
What kind of lowlife creep tries to create sympathy for himself, while stopping everybody else from having the same dream he has lived? Rubio’s a punk who will sell out his principles for a couple of votes. Is that what we want in the White House?
Jeb Bush finally came out of the closet and showed his true colors or rather lack of them. Yes, he thinks big brother George was right, yes he thinks that George’s ability to start unneeded wars and to bankrupt the country were the way to go. So he tells the country, but especially the far right nut base that he will use his disgraced brother as his chief foreign and domestic policy advisor, thereby telling the country, “Elect me, and I’ll start a war in every country on earth. Elect me and I will destroy our economy because I know a guy who already did it.”
So why did he make a stupid move like this? Panic? Maybe; he is dropping out of sight in most of the polls and his opposition is the far right of the party so he grabs for the one thing that the far right might be dumb enough to buy, his idiot brother. It reminds one of John McCain reaching out to the bimbo from the frozen North to try to save a sinking campaign and thereby assuring defeat. So he goes down to the heart of Christian conservatism, Liberty University in Virginia to announce that he is cutting his throat and abandoning his principals in a desperate grab for the far right vote. He’s going to be getting advice from his brother. Christ, it’s like asking your cocker spaniel to pick the wine.
Then because the suicidal impulse has not abandoned him, Bush tells another group the next night that he would have gone into Iraq just like his brother. Excuse me, is this the insanity confirmation? Everyone knows what a monumental blunder the war was. It’s so bad that the former Bush/Cheney cabal spends all its time trying to blame it on the CIA, trying desperately to slide out from under it, selling their grandchildren into white slavery to avoid prosecution for war crimes and this is what Jeb thinks his brother did right? I’d hate like hell to be faced with whatever it is he thinks his brother did wrong.
The Republicans had a big to do last night with almost all the candidates gathered in Iowa to bitch about Obama and Hillary. They couldn’t have all the candidates in attendance or they would have needed a bigger building. They were each given ten minutes to rant and, not surprisingly they all used it for the same thing. Attack Obama and Hillary’s foreign policy.
To those of us who can remember back ten years, this is rather surprising, since our current foreign policy is based on cleaning up the mess that was left behind by the crushing failures of the Bush/Cheney administration.
We would have no decisions to be made in the Middle East today if Bush/Cheney hadn’t screwed up that area beyond fixing. The candidates are all being asked, if you knew then what you do today would you still have been in favor of attacking Iraq? And some of them still don’t know the right answer, and that includes Jeb Bush.
What’s really hysterical is that the GOP base, most of whom are poor white trash, wants to hear more abut foreign policy than they do about jobs. Of course most of them think that New York is a foreign country and they want to hear about bombing it, so maybe it’s understandable.
This attitude is reflected in a current poll where Democrats listed jobs and economic growth as the biggest problem that needs to be solved and the Republicans voters listed Security and military strength.
Of course we still have a military strength equal or better than all the other nations of the world combined, but that fact seems to have slipped by all those double wides. The lobbyists for the military industrial complex don’t want any of the base to understand that.
Jeb Bush says he will not contend the Iowa Straw Polls. Really? Why is this news for a guy who still hasn’t announced he‘s running?
We’ll get back to the jumbled machinations of this befuddled bunch of funny nuts in a later edition. Meanwhile try to keep track of the number of possibles that will finally be selected for the first Republican debate. I hear there is a poll on the number of minutes that each will be given to speak. It starts at three minutes if all are allowed to compete. Should be a lot of laughs.
This is hysterical and right on the mark!
