McConnell on Iran Deal: 'Obama Won Short-Term Battle, But We Won the Argument'

Fox ^ | 9/11/15 | Staff

All supposed conservatives running need to be vetted very carefully as the last batch were, for the most part, fakes.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I now loath McConnell and Boehner worse than Pelosi and Reid.

[Norm Lenhart]

Welcome to the Dark Side Jedi. We have cupcakes.

“Yes. Now what is anybody going to do about it?”

A good start would be conservatives getting off their fat butts and electing a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in their counties. That gives them legal and armed muscle to take on the liberal fascists. Local elections attract about 10% of the electorate, so conservatives could also take over village, county and schoolboard governments with their votes.

The above gives you a safe community and a political base to begin taking back America.

Many of the the thousands of international ‘agreements’ the US is a party to are considered ‘treaties’ under international law. There’s no clear demarcation and never has been, except it’s a ‘treaty’ if the Senate or the President designates it as such.

To: VinL It's time to seriously turn up the heat on McConnell. Make him personally feel the heat of his position. To do this, I suggest some personal angst be inflicted on the McConnell household. McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, was the Secretary of Labor under George W. Bush, and is a Distinguished Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. This makes her fair game to be asked to comment on the politics of what McConnell and Obama are doing. Some reporter should drag her into the controversy and make her go on record supporting her husband's cowardice. Provoke McConnell into doing something stupid and reckless. -PJ

Makes sense to me.

[Political Junkie Too]

Something that can drive McConnell out of office. In the ways of Congress, giving weapons to the enemy doesn't do it, but a Republican abusing his office or committing some arcane ethics violation does. So get McConnell to act out in a way that the LIV would understand. At the very least, make life uncomfortable for him by making his wife take a side, and then pound away at her position ask fellow Heritage Foundationers if they agree, and let it snowball from there.

McConnell thinks he "won the argument." Let's test that by bringing others into the discussion. Chao was a White House Cabinet member; is this a "win" to her? In her experience at the highest levels, is this really the best that Republicans could do?

Make McConnell personally feel it by driving a wedge in the family.

[Citizen Soldier]

Thank you for the explanation.

[Norm Lenhart]

Well kidding aside, didn’t he just do exactly that? He violated rules argane and overt to get millions of people at risk to death by e=MC2 or 150B worth of conventional killing.

....That said...

Not sure what more he could do to offend the modern ‘American” other than having hetro sex with his wife in private. Which would drive libs and moderates into a frenzy. Which I suppose could work.

[Carthego delenda est]

“Maybe. Closer to 5 IMO. 10 if one was real forgiving.”

Very forgiving...

Sociopaths. Pretty much every last one of them. I wonder what Cotton was told, what was made abundantly clear to him in private?

[Political Junkie Too]

Them just do it to piss him off.

-PJ

[Norm Lenhart]

Not that I can get behind. But if anyone thinks we can ‘fix this’, I admire their ‘hope’ but we arent fixing squat unless by miracle, or Americans get their collective heads out of their arses about lesser evil voting. And certainly not till the next election if there is a next and it is remotely legit.

“The above gives you a safe community and a political base to begin taking back America.”

Bingo! It MUST start in each and every small community and work outwards from there. Starts with a principled individual who will not bow to any but God, he will keep his own family upright, then godly men of the same cloth MUST organize, even if it is in secret meeting in the basements of churches around the nation, and take our communities back one by one.

[sergeantdave]

What I proposed is not new. The Founders organized Committees of Correspondence and Committees of Safety, and it all started in local communities and churches. This was done BEFORE they took on the English Crown. These committees gave them organization, leadership and armed patriots to move against the king when the time was right. They started a thousand brushfires that the king’s men couldn’t tamp out.

American history between 1750 and 1775 explains the whole blueprint, which the Founders left to us to use again.

“I’m not saying you as I don’t know.”

??????????????????????????????

[Norm Lenhart]

I don’t know what your past positions were on the subject so I directed the comment as a general statement.

[Old Yeller]

Now we know what it must have felt like in Germany watching Hitler come to power and you couldn’t stop the evil taking over.

Observation of the Day!

[dfwgator]

Now we know what it must have felt like in Germany watching Hitler come to power and you couldn’t stop the evil taking over.

There's a scene that makes me think of that. It's from the movie "Cabaret" when everyone is singing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me", there is a shot of an old man looking around horrified at what he is witnessing. That's how we all feel now.
