This kind of shit is why I donāt self-identify as Democrat.

Which kind of shit, the progressiveās kind or the Presidentās?
This is very important and needs to be worked out and that shouldāve happened long ago but it still needs to be done and done right.
Are you after war declarations or threats, what?
I think the Presidentās plan was broad intentionally, knowing that it would be gone over and adjusted and that that is as it should be. He isnāt supposed to be going this alone or even starting the damn bills. He is merely leading by example and the constant opposition has no understanding of such things.
So if the Prez goes pie in the sky, it leaves plenty of room to maneuver over, under and sideways to achieve the actual goal and to do this through the intent of our framers. You know, that constitution thingy.
Go Barack!

So, Speaker Boehner, the president you want to sue for executive overreach, who acts like a dictator and is crapping all over the Constitution, has now " tied his own hands and wants to tie his hands even further " ?

That was so last week Randy, what are you thinking?
But, keep it on hold because next week is a new week and the spin comes around pretty fast.

Iām a strong supporter of both the campaign against Daesh and the campaign against al Qaeda, and I find the Progressive Caucusās position quite reasonable. They arenāt insisting on anything that would shut down either campaign, or even limit it beyond what the President has already said he intended to do.
Good for them.
Boehnorā¦isnāt it time to just call a spade a spade? Boehnor couldnāt care less about ISIS. He knows it poses no threat to the USA just as all his GOPāer buddies do. He wantās the ISIS issue and the opportunity to make political points from it.
Read his quote above. Is that consistent with a man that wants to go after ISIS and understands its the Presidentās job, with the help of Congress, to get that done? No its not. Itās a political jab. Because thatās all Boehnor is capable of. I havenāt seen a policy proposition from Boehnor in a long time. No one has. Itās all political quips and jabs from that man.
Itās an easy thing to do. Just listen to the American people.
No boots on the ground anywhere in the Middle East. Ever.
If they run from their own fightā¦we go home. We will help them. We will not do the entire thing for them.
Clean up is theirs. No American rebuilding or nation building.
We do it one time. Then itās their baby. No matter how much it falls apart once placed in their hands we stay OUT. We donāt do seconds.
America will place itās priorities and needs FIRST. We will not sacrifice the lives of our young people for an ungrateful or treacherous people. As soon as we are betrayed they get a fist in the face and they can keep their ISIS.
Religion and culture stay out of it. We are not there to āunderstand their cultureā or to help them understand ours. Americans really donāt care about all that culture crap. Keep religion out of the way. They get one flub on that one and we are out.
Thatās the only thing the American people want.

The diehard progressives. Fuck 'em. They can be as unrealistic as the teatards on some issues.
ISIS is a real problem. Itās not a fake problem like Iraq was. It needs to be eradicated.
Really?
Spell out the language they think is workable to go after ISIL, al Qaeda, etc. we all agree should be targeted.

Let me guessā¦the porridge will vacillate between ātoo hotā and ātoo coldā until a fermented mess explodes from the bowl?
OK, did they say that they donāt want to do that? The Presidentās proposal is too wide open and lacks some definition on key issues, he basically seems to be saying, here Congress, take the ball and run. The progressives will get input, naturally, and so will the teabagging right. At least the progressives have ideas based on reality and that fit in rather than just another twisted attempt to hurt Obama.
Yeah, upon occasion the hard right is also unrealistic but not about this, IMO.
