Because the Republican Party is now just another wing of the Democratic Party.
Lets hope so: and I would add another reason WHY I DON’T SUPPORT WAR IN SYRIA: As Christians we should be very wary of taking life, especially those of us that preach “pro-life” politically, Jesus died for even the violent fighters that we (as a nation) would be responsible for killing in any attack. Does God want to reach their hearts and save them. I submit 1 Tim Chapter 2 for proof that He does, let’s not be too quick to take life except in circumstances where our citizens are directly effected..
This ACTION in Syria doesn’t raise to that level. -J.S.
NO, the Republicans should vote: AGAINST IT, not “PRESENT”. That way we defeat Obama and he ~has~ to go extra-Constitutional and AGAINST his word again if he decides to bomb Syria!
Exactly!
AGREED LETS CALL OUR REPS:
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
(202) 224-3121
TTY: (202)-225-1904
Exactly. There are many reasons to exercise military power.
Saving face is not one of them.
And the IRS, Benghazi and NSA scandals. As Biden might say, All of those are a really big 'bleeping' deal. It all makes the Nixon admin look like choir boys.
Watch the left hand...
Obama should be treated to repeated verbatim repeats of what he has said in the past against Bush. Just keep repeating Obama’s opposition to Coalition’s, Bush’s seeking of congressional approval, and throw in a heavy dose of JF Kerry’s “was for it before being against it” just to hammer this administration. And keep up the drumbeat against the administration forever, after all the media will eventually report it.
The executive branch has gotten too big. It needs to be taken down many, many pegs. This is a good place to start. At the very least the should make Obama trade Obamacare funding for funding his Syria adventure— publicly.
Would the GOP-e defy upwards of 90% of the country on this? I would think not, but then again, this IS the GOP-e we are talking about. The dems that are being wishy-washy right now, on the other hand, will faithfully vote for anything on the floor when the time comes, regardless of what the people want.
This should be #1!!! Not another precious American life for that $hit Hole! They are killing each other and that should be viewed as a good thing. My give a $hit bucket is empty!
5) The “first to die” dilemma. Some Republicans are so war-weary that they would be loathe to authorize any military action in the absence of an actual attack on the United States. When Sen. Rand Paul re-phrased John Kerry’s words from Vietnam — Kerry famously asked, “How do you ask a man to be the last to die for a mistake?” which Paul changed to “How do you ask a man to be the first to die for a mistake?” — the senator from Kentucky was signaling that there is virtually no way lawmakers like him will ever support a Syrian initiative.
