Yeah, I’m down with that. Toss the guy. He’s an ass.

Back to the bubble. Occasional discussion of politics is fine, it’s all good. The whole real-estate-economics-finance-gas-prices-taxes — it’s all kind of wound up in larger macro issues which include government, economics, policy and even foreign policy. Be respectful. Keep it level.

The partisan stuff really turns me off though. In fact, I’ve realized last couple of months, I HATE partisans, all these “Karl Rove” talking point types. Wrecking our country. Not putting up with it anymore.

That’s my 2c. Get rid of the guy. Get his MAC address and block him.

What a bunch of simplistic nonsense. Diplomacy is ‘surrender’? Sure sounds tough. You da’ man. So what was Churchill doing at Yalta? What was Reagan doing with Gorbachev at the end of the Cold War? Diplomatic efforts may actually UNDERMINE the hardline government of Iran. Did you consider that?

The ad-hominem attacks, these days I don’t have any problem with calling out nutjobs for what they are: PARTISAN DOUCHEBAGS (and that includes ‘jfiq’). The past 15 years have been just pathetic, divide and conquer, dems/reps are the enemy, lie at all costs. Cry all you want. As a generation, you have collectively sucked. We’re in the process of putting it behind us.

surveyor, as to your so-called ‘logic’, I really wouldn’t call it that. You borrow bits and pieces from different layers, piece them together inconsistently and pronounce it analysis. It’s like some real estate analyst saying there’s no bubble. The proof of the ridiculousness of the neocon position is the last 7 years. Idealogue foreign policy positions have been refuted by abysmal results.

AS TO MY ORIGINAL POINT: Too many people right now putting partisan politics before country and it’s a very serious time. Enough with the horseshit already, quoting Bolton as if he was Churchill. You’re smoking crack on that one, my friend. If you don’t want to get called a douchebag, stop holding up Bolton as if he was Churchill and labeling Obama as an America-hating leftie appeaser.

Really, the entire neocon position, stop attacking democrats as the enemy and just find Bin Laden. That would be better.

surveyor, toppling Saddam strengthened Tehran. Our line towards Iran has strengthened the hardliners. Abu Ghraib undermined our moral authority. The Taliban and AQ are reconstituting in Pakistan’s tribal areas. That’s not ‘blaming America’. Republicans concede we’ve made mistakes at this point.

The question of how and whether to use diplomacy is a foreign policy matter and merits discussion. I’m a realist. Obama advocates a realist approach that includes both diplomacy and military force towards our enemies, draws down our footprint in Iraq and focuses on AQ in A/P. I support his approach. On the whole, I expect him to be more effective than Bush and less of a blowhard.

As for the rest, some questions:

– Since when did diplomacy become equated with surrender or weakness? That’s not correct. Who is saying this? Why?

– Why attack Obama as a “leftie who blames America”? Because he supports diplomacy? How are the two connected?

They’re not connected. These are partisan talking points meant for consumption at home and designed to slant Democrats as ‘weaker than republicans’ and ‘aligned with the enemy’. Yet again, republicans putting politics before country during wartime. Politics stop at the water’s edge, right?

Ordinarily, I don’t call people names. These aren’t ordinary times (Bolton is a DOUCHEBAG). We’re on the verge of WWIII and all neocons do is rant about liberal Americans. (Who hates America?) I’m looking forward to November. We’re throwing the bums out. By that time Israel will have bombed Iran. Gets interesting from there, bro’. I sure hope we have our ducks in a row.
