About 4:09 into the video Paul shines light on the strategy that was apparently on a memo sent out. Republicans took a beating for the Iraq War so it’s only “fair” that they can blame Obama for the Afghanistan War.
At 5:50ish and several years AFTER we go into Afghanistan Paul asks “Why are we there?” Way to be on top of it Ron.
It’s a good strategy for the Republicans really. Divide the issue among themselves.
Republican Group A: Commit more to Afghanistan(like McCain).
Republican Group B: Why are we there? This is Obama’s War(like Paul).
By dividing it among themselves they effectively put the Obama administration in a can’t win situation because whatever he chooses the GOP will be sure to have someone on camera condemning it.
Journalists don’t seem to report the news anymore… it’s all editorialized.
If Cynthia Tucker were a Republican / Libertarian instead of a Democrat and criticized Obama much in the same way she did with Steele, would those journalists be all over this as news? (5:06 to 5:31): http://tinyurl.com/24moz8e
Taxes will be going up for those making under $250k now. Where are Chairman Obama’s Truth Squads now?: http://tinyurl.com/29mh5u7
But will the mainstream journalists point out hypocrisies? Nah. They like the guy. They’ll be praising Obamanomics and keep pushing the hopey-changey thing.
#30–Raum==thank you. Its good to know my little hobby gets noticed.
Aren’t you being a bit harsh yourself? Vitriol? “Oh to see ourselves as other’s do.”
but not always, so when used, is it deserving or not? Yes, thats the question. Every once in a while I have the thought to back off a bit, and then I think, why pretend? Its mostly what I really think.
But to that end–I always post under “bobbo” so that those wishing to avoid me may do so easily.
I do assume a few good folks here post under different names on a regular basis but they all seem to be humor oriented and thats a good think.
Imagine a community if you will. Made up of all different kinds of people learning/sharing with one another==if they can be honest.

Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

#? Ditto
All these compliments, I’m blushing.
Thank You Anon. Its true my target is not to be a wit. Not even half my goal.
My goal: argue cogently, and
eschew obfuscation.
