TWEETY re: GOP: "Why would they want to be suckers for latest propaganda move by neo-conservatives?"

[kpete]

Don’t they have any pride? Don’t Republicans want to be known as thinking Americans, people who care about this country protecting itself? Why would they want to be suckers for the latest propaganda move by the neo-conservatives? Is this Mitch McConnell’s way of “leading from behind”?

1. Good for him. He's sometimes waffley but on this he's spot on.

Many of us do NOT want another Iraq, assuming it would come out that well. Iran is a bigger, better prepared country than Iran was. And WHY would we be fighting another war in the Middle East? Do they really want Americans dying there? Do they really want a tax increase to pay for war?

It makes me crazy!

2. fascinating point about Kristol

has anyone else made this excellent connection, between Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, and Tom Cotton?

First, he (Kristol) does 20 articles promoting an unknown Congressman from Arkansas, much as he once pushed a nice-looking senator from Indiana and once pushed a politician from Alaska to sing his song for him.

4. That's good to know

Kristol, who is always wrong about very prediction he makes as a talking head, sure knows how to pick dummies — Quayle, Palin and cotton, all hall of fame caliber — who can be easily persuaded to do his bidding.

And Kristol is wrong again, spectacularly, with that open letter he put Cotton up to.

5. The only thing that matters to ReTHUGs is money

If they are OK with their ignorant views on climate change, why would anything else bother them.
They will say and write anything for profit.

6. Oh, did someone say "money"?

"Tehran Tom Cotton was Bribed almost a Million Bucks to Send the Iran Letter.

Yep. Tehran Tom got a ton of “contributions” from agents of a foreign power to betray his country. He and the rest of the Teapublican Treason Team all took Israel’s side against America’s, but Tehran Tom the Traitor Tot got paid nearly a million dollars to do so.Perhaps the other Teapubbies got such bribes as well, but we have the goods on Tommie:

Kristol’s Emergency Committee for Israel gave Tom Cotton nearly $1 million in his race for the Senate just five months ago, Eli Clifton reported. “Cotton received $960,250 in supportive campaign advertising in the last month". Cotton also got $165,000 from Elliott ManagementPaul Singer’s hedge fund. Singer is the billionaire who is trying to stop Obama’s Iran talks (Clifton’s reporting again)."

7. The answer to this is easy, they are racists who hate President Obama first ...

The answer to this is easy, they are racists who hate President Obama first ...
Koch and corporate stooges second
Republicans third
bigots fourth
and then finally they might consider doing what is best for the country.
