I think the Republicans should run Palin. The Democrats need to nominate Hank Johnson to run against her.

Truth hurts, don't it? The only winner in the Iraq War was Iran and we did the fighting for them.

As for criticizing our country abroad, I think the more correct characterization of what he did in Cairo (and perhaps elsewhere) is to say "I understand why you may feel the way you do." FWIW, the key to diplomacy is understanding where others are "coming from." It's beats the shit out the proud, ignorant cowboy ethic that preceded him IMHO (and in the opinion of nearly all of our critical allies in the "War on Terror" BTW).

Those upstanding citizens who don't share that opinion had a funny way of showing it this past election cycle.

Your logic is getting so circular that I'm developing whiplash.

So many so quick to claim loss. But of course, outside their votes to go in to begin with, that's what they've been saying all along.

Iraq will take its' proper place again.

It's the 43% you're paying in taxes clouding your judgment.

As an Iranian puppet state? Keep believing that if it lets you sleep nights.
