Let's Travel To The Future - What Are The Repugs Going To Say About Dems Not Attending BiBi's....

[global1]

address to Congress?

You know that they will be all over the cable news channels talking about the Dems boycotting BiBi's speech. How do you think Boehner and the Repugs will spin it?

1. If they were smart they'd ignore it

Let their media lackys carry the water on this one.

2. That's a mighty big "IF" bryanto...

and given your if is linked to GOP intelligence, that IF is even larger than I initially believed.

7. True enough. nt

3. Doesn't Morning Joe's outbursts give an indication?

The challenge the GOP has if they go the hyperbolic route - esp if they allow DHS funding to stop (current threat), then they will seem to be more passionately concerned about the Prime Minister of Israel under the guise of concern for the safety of Israelis... more than they are concerned about the safety of US citizens.

4. That those Dems are turning their backs on Israel

It's going to be spun into an anti-Israel message rather than an anti-Netanyahu one. This will be said by a handful of politicians and their staffers, but mostly by their surrogates in the media.

10. So that would make Bernie Sanders

what? A self hating Jew? Do they really want to go there?

[herding cats]

12. Bernie is always giving the Republican's such grief

They'll have just one more reason to dislike him now.

5. Hitler! Chamberlain! Charlemagne! Loud noises!!!!nt

[Enrique]

6. maybe nothing

the politics may not be in their favor.

Biden has already said he's not going, and I'm not hearing any outrage, maybe I missed it.

8. To Paraphrase Yoda, "About this, there is a fuck I do not give."

9. Anyone against Bibi's position and speech obviously hates all Jews

because Iran wants to destroy them, and by not wanting to be pulled into their BS war to fight as Israel's proxy they are the same as Hitler when he attempted to kill all the Jews.

I say this is what they are going to say, because people are already saying it about those of us who are against this speech and oh so blatant attempt to draw us into a war. I have already been called an Anti-Semite because I'm against Bibi and his attempt to draw us into a wrong war when we are holding things in check by sanctions and increased relations. Iran is trying to get away from religion as its major motivator, but if we enter in a holy war on Israel's side, we can flush that down the drain and say hello to another breeding ground of fundamentalist religion driven problems.

11. They will use it for fundraising with wealthy Jewish donars like my cousin.

I'm not saying all wealthy Jews are conservative. But, I am saying they are doing this to get more money because that is all the republicans care about money and power.

13. Some variation of the same shit they will be spewing because they wake up tomorrow and

it is Wednesday.

You do understand that generally there is no correct answer with these fucks? That even if you start from their espoused position that they will simply fire up the 454 on the motorized goalposts and roll them down the road while screaming "communism"?

Cowering and sitting around with a wet finger in the air won't help a thing.
