GOP’s ire, once directed at Obama, now turns inward
There’s a lot of unhappiness out there.
For example, the Wall Street types who financed the GOP’s 2012 campaign, donating hundreds of millions of dollars to the party as well as to the SuperPACs run by Karl Rove and others, are not a happy lot.
They are unhappy because they got little or nothing for their investment; they are unhappy with the GOP’s deep reluctance to come to the aid of Hurricane Sandy victims in the Northeast; and as the Manhattan elite, they are unhappy about financing a party that picks on their gay friends and their Muslim friends and doesn’t seem all that friendly to their black friends either.
Rove and his buddies in the GOP political establishment are also very, very unhappy. They are unhappy because their deep-pocket donors are unhappy. They’re unhappy because the deeply conservative base that they created and nurtured along the way to a permanent Republican majority has now slipped their leash and now acts as if they, not the Roves of the world, ought to run the party and set its goals and pick its candidates.
Such impertinence is not appreciated.
To regain control, Rove and his allies have created a new front group, the Conservative Victory Fund, to siphon still more money from donors. This time, the money will be used to finance a war with the great unwashed within their own party and promote more electable (read: moderate and malleable) candidates. In effect, they seek to put their creature back on its leash, where it can be more useful to them.
“There is a broad concern about having blown a significant number of races because the wrong candidates were selected,” as Steven J. Law, president of Rove’s American Crossroads, told the New York Times.
And of course, those who identify as champions of the GOP grassroots aren’t happy either. They aren’t in the mood to listen to condescending lectures from fancy-dan consultants who spent hundreds of millions of other people’s money and got nothing for it, and now want to blame their failure on conservatives for being too conservative.
Matt Hoskins, executive director of the Senate Conservatives Fund, founded by former Sen. Jim DeMint, put it bluntly:
“The Conservative Defeat Project is yet another example of the Republican establishment’s hostility toward its conservative base. Rather than listening to the grassroots and working to advance their principles, the establishment has chosen to declare war on the party’s most loyal supporters. If they keep this up, the party will remain in the wilderness for decades to come.”
And as our friends over at RedState put it:
“American Crossroads is creating a new Super PAC to crush conservatives, destroy the tea party, and put a bunch of squishes in Republican leadership positions. …I dare say any candidate who gets this group’s support should be targeted for destruction by the conservative movement.”
Live by the sword, die by the sword, I suppose.

As he was hiding within a country that has no extradition agreement with the US, what other options do we have with dealing with such a person?

So we can use drone attacks to kill American citizens as long a high ranking intelligence official deems the person a threat as long as we don’t have an extradition treaty.
Keep in mind his 16 year old son was killed.

I guess it is ok as long as a high level intelligence official says it is ok and we have no extradition treaty with the country.
I guess that is one incentive to sign an extradition treaty. If you don’t we have the right to ignore your right to sovereignty.

RB — “You and your bretheren’s simple minded attempts to use a Bible you don’t read of believe in”
Don’t know where you got the idea that we haven’t *read* your bible. In fact, quite a few atheists I know have made it a point to read the bible — along with a lot of other religious books and documents. Reading something doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to *believe* it, you know.
“to squash the Christian’s place at the table in this country”
No religion has a “place at the table” in this country. Only individuals do. Now, if you want to bring your religion with you when you sit down with the rest of us, that’s fine, but don’t go expecting to be accorded some kind of consideration or deference because of who or what you pray to.

“As he was hiding within a country that has no extradition agreement with the US, what other options do we have with dealing with such a person? Do you simply allow him to continue to spread and influence hatred for the US simply because he’s American, or do you treat him just like every other terrorist he influences?”
All very good questions that I do not personally have concrete answers. These are the types of questions that should be in the open and debated.

Have you liberals ever stopped to think all these natural disasters you keep blaming on global warming might actually be God trying to get your attention? The Bible is full of times when God used storms, earthquakes, plagues, etc, to remove nations, cities, and people from the earth.
from the same child poster who told us that humans were incapable of comprehending the ways and reasons that God acts in those godly ways.
Again, our poster understands those meanings.

I have a problem with the drones inasmuch as we really don’t know how successful they are at getting the bad guys and if the collateral damage near and long term are worth it. Of course we hear from the administration that we killed a few known terrorists with a strike but how this is validated as well as the actual number of civilians killed is suspect.
What if they released a hit ratio? You know, the number of dead civilians it take to take out a single bad guy.
Our best strategy is to pack up our drones, troops et al and bring them home to use when we have real threat to our shores…why we continue to assume this evangelical spread of our form of democracy as a cure-all is beyond me…what do we owe any of these countries?

So we can use drone attacks to kill American citizens as long a high ranking intelligence official deems the person a threat as long as we don’t have an extradition treaty.
If that person openly engages in and/or supports a group that has taken up arms against America, then I think he/she are no longer afforded the protections of the Constitution. Treason, as defined within the Constitution, would tend to support that depending on your interpretation of the post I made earlier.
Also, everybody involved in making those decisions take an oath of office that includes defending the Constitution.
http://uspolitics.about.com/od/usgovernment/a/oaths_of_office.htm
Everyone, except for the president, also has the phrase “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” which an American openly engaged in war against the US would likely be considered a domestic enemy. If we do nothing about that person, then there’s the charge of not fulfilling your oath of office.
As to his 16 year old son, I don’t agree with targeting him, but if that was my dad, you wouldn’t have caught me within 100 miles of him. I know enough, and knew enough at 16, that being around a person with a target painted on their back was a recipe for disaster and/or death. If it were my decision to make and one of my own family members went to Yemen in support of AQ, I would have no qualms at making the decision to take them out.

There also existed a conflict in the the fees Goldman and others paid for bogus ratings, when the requestors knew various tranches were toxic, served as motivation for agencies to look askance at traditional diligence efforts.

If it were my decision to make, we would have never needed the drones as I would have had B2’s, B52’s, and any other aircraft capable of dropping ordinance flying over the terrorist training camps within hours of them claiming credit for 9/11. I would have turned every bit of sand over there into glass just to show terrorists that the US is the wrong country to mess with.

Watching Rove melt down on FOX election night will be one of my happier memories for this life time. That was the first time I realized this guy really believes the wild shots he takes on politics are hitting something. The reason these guys were letting these lies lay out there was to collect more money from the donors. If they had told the Sheldon Adelsons of the world they were losing he would have cut em off. Everybody was using the high ball appraisal that didn’t hold water, including the press to keep the race interesting and sell ad time.
In the meanwhile they compromised the election and the party with their grassroots movement. It was like the communist taking over Russia, common men, big hat no cattle, thinking they had what it takes to be a czar because they had some injustice they wanted restitution for. Men who lacked experience, education, sensitivity and had not paid the price but thought none of that mattered they were entitled. Now the lights are going out and the doors are being shut not because the GOP is against all the hate but because it got so hot they couldn’t control it. You let the kid drive your car and he totaled it.
Anybody read about Ann Coulter’s melt down on that plane because there was a black woman pilot? Man can the GOP pick em. They now have a wing on the nut wing for the really nutty nuts.

Assigning fault IMO is not helpful. The warmongering and arrogant nature of our culture as shaped and furthered by all administrations is the root cause. Seems every single president feels the need to use the military…often it seems just because we have a 700 billion or so machine….may as well us it right…

That is funny.
I originally considered posting that the libs were now the cons and the cons were now the libs in regard to Afghan policy, but that would have been too confusing for some.

“Funny how the maniacal liberal outrage at the Bush policies of drone bombing, torture and wire tapping have evaporated since Obama came into office.”
Yep. And all those anti-war protesters? Where dey at??? Where??? Seems they disappeared about 5 minutes after O was inaugurated. Were they anti-war? Or just anti-Bush? I think their profound absence the last 4 years answers that question.

Also, everybody involved in making those decisions take an oath of office that includes defending the Constitution.

You can’t claim you are defending something you are ignoring. He was in the US until 2002 and in the UK until 2004. Charges were dropped against him in the FT Hood case for lack of evidence. The Yemen’s actually put him in jail for some time. Yemen’s were trying to take him out . His son was killed in a separate target.
The extradition argument does really work since we did not prosecute him when we could. We could not get him in the courts so we take him out over seas.

the dog, “RB-let’s imagine your bff is recently returned from active duty in Afghanistan. While he was gone, you stole his woman. He just found out and he is majorly pissed. While he was serving, it was determined he was a can short of a 6 pack. Would you like your former bff to undergo a background check?”
Gee, dog, do you think maybe if he’s pissed and knows his “6 pack” diagnosis won’t pass a background check he’ll find whatever weapon he needs from a source that won’t run the check? Kinda like how everybody else who can’t pass the check gets them.
And tell me again how this background check nonsense would have prevented ANY of the mass shootings that prompted this discussion. I seem to have missed even a single one of you liberals answering that question. Why is that?

And how do we know td isn’t one (false prophet)?
Deuteronomy 18:22
When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.
Maybe I’ve missed a few things lately, but td’s recent writings don’t seem to fit that description.

RB-what are you afraid of, that you wouldn’t pass a background check like your hero Lapierre wouldn’t pass a background check? I just don’t understand how someone that supposedly served his country in the military is able to give all the chicken hawks and lapierre a pass knowing they cheated the system to get out of serving. Candy asses, the lot of them.

Regnad and cheesy,
Really? Ya’ll make up your mind. So now the Afgh war was the “just” war. Well now if that’s the case then how do you guys explain the numerous posts over the years on here from Dim posters? You know? The ones that constantly complained about W getting us into “2″ wars that weren’t on the books. And yes. Every single time they complained they didn’t complain about 1 unfunded war. They complained about 2 unfunded wars. How many times did we see that complaint about “2″ unfunded wars? You guys do remember all that right? Right? But now you’re claiming that 1 of them was “the right war”. Jeez you guys are hilarious.

Moving slow as they tried to settle without litigation and result was to take civil action vs criminal action…cop out IMO. They appear only to be going after S&P but others did the same thing…the dealers packaged up a pig as a lark, the ratings agencies made little if any effort to remove the package, and AIG an others, based on ratings, offered insurance at 2% of deal value.
Had the rating agencies took time and were not rushed by bundlers…and performed diligence down to the ugly tranches, some of the bailouts could have been avoided, particularly AIG….
