Left politicians can say the exact same things but you all insist that they are lying or something. A Republican says something, "talks to their constituents", and we're supposed to fear the impending Theocracy.<br /><br />Take Palin's actual, for real, record on both gays and birth control as an example. There's no *actions* to object to in either case, just her expressed personal opinions.<br /><br />Obama's expressed opinions on social issues are the same as Republicans, but the letter behind his name is different. Nothing else.<br /><br />Democrats speak from pulpits, inside actual churches. Republicans know they face a double standard and *don't do that*. The location would be the message if they did. Proof they intended to *enact* a church-state.<br /><br />The only difference is the letter behind a name and what you *believe* about intentions based solely on the letter behind the name. <br /><br />So, Ritmo, it is not HARD to tell the difference between one set of politicians, the ones who have to take care not to speak from pulpits, and the ones who are allowed to speak from pulpits.<br /><br />Not that I think Republicans should be giving political speeches in Houses of Worship. They are right not to. The hypocrisy and double standard ought to end.<br /><br />But won't.Synovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311191981918160095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-39941756280412948042012-01-17T07:19:08.748-06:002012-01-17T07:19:08.748-06:00Dude, "playing" with me won't stop t...<i>Dude, "playing" with me won't stop the fortunes of the Republicans continue to sink like a lead balloon.</i><br /><br />I think you should keep repeating this while more & more House Democrats retire.<br /><br />Really.

I give him a respectable "B" grade for reversing much of the damage Dubya did to our image abroad and getting us out of the two Neocon nation-building adventures in a measured way.</i>"<br /><br />And quite the incompetent grading it is. As Obama has not "reversed" any fantasy damage. Rather, Obama has himself reduced the credibility of his own administration in foreign policy. He's considered a joke and unreliable in Europe. And Obama has caused real damage to our relationship with India - one of George W. Bush's huge successes.<br /><br />Further, Obama has not got us "out" of two of Bush's "nation building exercises" at all. We are still involved in Iraq even though Obama failed to competently negotiate an agreement with Iraq in the closing months of our deployment there. Not only not in a "measured way" but in full bozo headlong panic. And we are no closer to leaving Afghanistan than when Obama took office.<br /><br />Quite the incompetent job there, Cedarford.Cincinnatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424218376882403880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-28030235824218776742012-01-16T22:09:47.390-06:002012-01-16T22:09:47.390-06:00A reverse Pied Piper thread jack.
