Sen. Lamar Alexander will vote to ratify the New START treaty, a Senate aide said, an annoucement that indicates the White House has or is close to locking down the nine GOP votes needed for ratification.
So much for staying strong.
With China expanding its military, we are being pushed into an ego gratification move for the President that is being driven more by his first political term papers than it is by any inkling of necessity.
I mean, seriously: the whole “no nukes” thing?
How early Reagan.
And people wonder why I’m feeling Grinchy.
Lamar Alexander campaigned for Christine O’Donnell.
He’s a very very confuzzled little man I think.
Hmmmm.
Anything yet about the GOP fighting tooth and nail to block the 9/11 first responders health bill from getting through? No? I guess it’s too hard to defend, even for you.
That’s austerity folks. Making the “tough decision” to gut aid to people who really need it so that Our Galtian Overlords can shit in gold-plated toilets. How OUTLAWish to beat down terminally ill firefighters.
Does everyone remember how excited some were about Mike Castle being elected? He’s voting for this piece of shit. Why the heck are these jackasses still fighting the cold war? Why are they still worried about Russia, when the potential threats are coming from other places like China?
This is a bad deal for us. We hold the edge in anti-missile defense, and we need to continue. The only way we will ever stay reasonably safe is to stay ahead of everyone else on the weapons technology curve.
It sucks to have a president who thinks the U.S. is part of the problem.
AJB wants to be the senior editor of this site. You’re not writing about the important stuff, apparently.
Hmmm.
Seems the GOP has a different view on things than AJB.
HA!!! AJB ends up looking like a fool!!!
What an unexpected by-product of his own stupidity!!
My only hope is that it will happen again some time.
How early Reagan.
What’dya expect from a guy who thinks middle Gorbachev won the Cold War?
“Dude, when I’m President, I’m going to do something about all those nukes!”
[…] the typical response from the left has been along the lines of “WHY DO REPUBLICANS HATE THE HEROES? — which, let’s face it, was inevitable and entirely predictable. And yet, earlier on, […]
This disgusts me.
I’ve written about this several times at Dan’s place ( http://tiny.cc/startO ), and can add nothing more to what I’ve already said save for asking everyone to call their Senators and tell them to just say no.
Of a piece.
Both Tennessee Senators caved; first Alexander then tagalong junior Bob Corker. I spoke at length with one of Alexander’s Washington D.C. phone bank staffers; bottom line that we both agreed to is that this item should have been put over into the next session because there’s an appearance of impropriety in speedily passing a treaty who’s sole purpose is to make Obama’s ‘Nobel Peace Prize’ seem somewhat valid.
And look who agrees, amazingly…
Mr. Allah has a list of the obamawhore cocksuckers who voted for this start bullshit so bumblefuck’s phony peace prize is as polished as his cock when Voinovich finishes on it.
Isakson is that whorebait what’s all about redistributing money from for reals taxpayers to losers for so they can buy a house.
The really frightening thing is that China is not on a crazy spending spree for weapons systems. They will match regional powers within ten years. They could easily bridge the technology gap with Europe’s help, and the nations of Europe need help.
Will we have to shoot down European satellites in the near future? I wonder how that will work out?
