GOP Establishment Senators: We can work with Hillary!

because she's not black like obama, i take it
 
Then why were all of the neoconservatives and the GOP establishment lining up behind her on foreign policy, some even before Sanders had left the race? Perhaps not on the level of Bush, but she's definitely closer to the Right-Wing than Obama - who isn't even left-wing himself but is in fact Centrist/centre-left. When the Democrat is urging for more warfare and "being tough on Russia" as opposed to the diplomacy and rapproachment that Trump has advocated - at a time of increased tension - with Russia... we've got a problem here. Hillary Clinton has on numerous occasions been depicted as a war hawk and a candidate of the war machine.

We are jumping to Hillary because she's, in our minds, the least bad option. To us Hillary Clinton was and always will be a liberal, but less liberal than Obama. If you were to characterize which Democrats we would be interested in working with that ran in the primary it would likely be Jim Webb. Otherwise, we were stringently in the Bush-Kasich-Rubio camps. While we are glad Democrats woke up to Putin, we do remember that it wasn't long ago that liberals were mocking us for believing Putin was a danger to the free world, even as he was invading Georgia. Then there was the reset button. Then there was blaming Benghazi on a facebook video about a movie with so little financial resources it couldn't even be a wide-release straight-to-disc release. It wasn't until Putin became known for restricting the liberties of homosexuals and invaded the Ukraine that liberals thought, "gee, he might not be such an okay guy after all."

We don't buy the Warren and Sanders wing revisionism that Obama and Clinton are somehow centrists. They aren't us; not by a long shot.
 
Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) is predicting that congressional Republicans will be more willing to work with Hillary Clinton than they have been with President Obama, should she be elected president.

“Barack Obama was somewhat of an unknown – he was a senator, but only for a year-and-a-half before he was elected president. She is a known commodity, and I think there’ll be more camaraderie in terms of working together, than there might have been in the early days of Obama,” Isakson told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
GOPUSA ? GOP Establishment Senators: We can work with Hillary!


Work with a Crook? Right...business as usual. Go Trump!

Highlighted....an absolute travesty of justice ....from the start!



mostly because the GOP house has been seen to be a bunch of useless racists. They dug themselves a hell of a hole to try to climb out of.
 
When he is elected, they will be forced to... to survive.

Sounds about how I would see Trump as what he is running for. We shall see.
 
Otherwise, we were stringently in the Bush-Kasich-Rubio camps.

There is an overlap. There are several similarities with which I can compare the George W. Bush foreign policy and the foreign policy of Hillary Clinton. Clinton was also the architect of the Libyan intervention under NATO. During her time as Secretary of State she pulled Obama to the right/centre on foreign policy. George W. Bush was also centre-right on foreign policy, and interventionist/expansionist.

While we are glad Democrats woke up to Putin, we do remember that it wasn't long ago that liberals were mocking us for believing Putin was a danger to the free world, even as he was invading Georgia.
George W. Bush and Putin had a lot of camaraderie before Georgia.

Then there was the reset button.

That was stupid and naive on Hillary's part.

Then there was blaming Benghazi on a facebook video about a movie with so little financial resources it couldn't even be a wide-release straight-to-disc release.

Hillary Clinton again. Agreed.

It wasn't until Putin became known for restricting the liberties of homosexuals and invaded the Ukraine that liberals thought, "gee, he might not be such an okay guy after all."

Yeah, the guy's a waste.

We don't buy the Warren and Sanders wing revisionism that Obama and Clinton are somehow centrists. They aren't us; not by a long shot.

Still disagree with that. I think they're like the lame kids that aren't welcome to the party. :lol:
 
neither of the Fisher Price My First Political Parties have any intention of working with each other. both sides just want to posture so that it will be more likely that their own side has control of more of the pieces. watching the current BS is like reading a history textbook on the fall of empires.
 
Ugh. Damn her for being able to work with the other side to pass legislation instead of being stuck in a perpetual mexican stand-off like we had the last 8 years.

You whipped out that Mexican thing again. :2razz:

Yes, it's so much more preferable to have an obnoxious incompetent in the Oval Office who can't work with anyone. Yipee!
