The Republican Task: No Obamacare, No Iran Nukes
Weekly Standard ^ | 11/7/13 | W Kristol

Watching the Obama administration at work this week, a friend offered this judgment: Under Obama, Iran keeps its nuclear program and Americans lose their health insurance.

Historians and political scientists will have much to say, after its collapse, about contemporary liberalism’s propensity to be at once tough on American citizens and soft on Iranian mullahs. Today’s liberals are pleased to use the power of the state to nudge—not to say bully —their fellow Americans, while shunning the exercise of power abroad, preferring to accommodate—not to say appease—the nation’s enemies. It would seem to be a paradox.

We also have the task of doing something about debt and the welfare state....and moral devolution (special protection for sodomy?? THIS is an issue??).

But these two are pretty big deals.

Fortunately on the Iran front, the Clown cannot control Israel.

“I do believe that there is a basis for a resolution [because] Iran’s Supreme Leader has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons,” Obama told reporters.

And he doesn't ever has to explain who controls Iran.

Unless Israel stops Iran (doubtful) they are going to have nukes. No question.

It is a done deal now. Great. Nuclear weapons in the hands of the most radical, fanatical muslims.

Pakistan is bad, but these guys are far, far worse.

I certainly hope no one actually expects the republicans to do anything about either situation.

In effect there is no Republican party.

Just a bunch of old men feathering their nests and a few young men trying half-heartedly to do what is right.

There is but one Republican that I see and his name is Ted Cruz.

Well, we are too late for the first one. In about a week we will be too late for the second one.

Perhaps we can keep focusing on abortion. That seems to be working out well.

You don't actually believe they can drag Boehner away from Happy Hour and sober him up to accomplish this, do you?
