I thought it was “lambaste” here in the colonies.
Whichever you favour, I suppose.
Carry on.

So republicans when speaking about Benghazi never use names of those who died? I suppose it is only wrong when democrats do the same thing.

Colonies?
Ha-ha-ha!
I think you need to update your information because you’re close to 250 years behind the times. For your reference, the US kicked Britain’s ass in 1776 and we’ve never been anyone’s colony since.
On the other hand, Britain would now be part of Germany if the US had not saved you in WWII, maybe England is now a colony to the US…?

Republicans only rule by impulse and knee-jerk responses. Look at how many freaked out when Obama said we don’t have a plan for dealing with ISIS yet. How dare he think and plan, rather than invade everyone!

That’s why reading this hurts. Udall was elected too late in the game to have any excuse for reflexively accepting the way Republicans frame a narrative.

And, by the way, Mark, now we’re talking about the tiny way you’re wrong rather than the big way you’re right.

Typical GOPer. Can’t find anything to discount the argument, so he goes after the language.

I guess you didn’t need to duck as that sailed right over your head.

Typical Dem apologizes. I thought Udall invoking those two journalists and basically by extension their work about the intricacies of the region, was rather a tribute to them. He emphasized taking rational and thought-out steps to deal with the situation, rather than acting on impulse. What’s wrong with that?

Dear Dems: When Republicans act like infantile morons, it’s OK to just laugh and ignore them. You don’t have to cater to their idiocy. There’s no upside to it.

Too subtle for the GOPher – and for those who support him, which is why Gardner went the way he did. Dead people are only supposed to be used as a way to get people to bomb other people – it’s a rule!

Sounds extraordinarily weak to me.

Gardner should be gardening, Udall doesn’t have to react to his shallow, policy free challenges.
The only real point in this race is Gardner’s Repub styled attacks on women. He is headfaking all that he can to stay away from what he has always been and now hides from.
With Gardner you get the whole teabagger agenda but he is especially strong on his neanderthalish female views.

Of course, if Republicans want to use the Americans killed in Benghazi politically, that’s fair game, right?
