Oh Shit... I just had a brainstorm

[zeemike]

On what should be done if bush rejects the suggestion that he should talk to Iran and Syria .

The Democrats should form there own delegation to Iran and negotiate a deal with them, and let it be known from the start that this deal is contingent on them gaining the presidency in 08.
Let it also be known from the get go that the people of the US will be voting on the idea.
Why not a clear choice in 08.

Does that sound too crazy or what?

1. The media will SO spin that into us being in bed with terroists

even though on paper I think its a pretty good idea.

[bryant69]

3. Yep

Its one of those stories that practically spins itself, unfortunately.

2. I vote for 'too crazy'.

[H2O Man]

4. Article II Section 1

of the Constitution of the United States is pretty clear on this topic. It's always good to read the Constitution.

[Richardo]

8. Article II, Section 2 (Powers) appears to cover it...

Good point, H2O Man...

[H2O Man]

13. Yep.

You are right -- it is Section 2. I should follow my own advice, and read it! It's hell getting old and losing one's memory!

[zeemike]

14. You mean it is illegal to do it openly?

And it would not be a real deal until an democrat victory in 08, no different than saying "I ill talk to Iran if elected"

[H2O Man]

17. I mean it

is no more likely to happen than having the House hear legal cases that are on appeal to the US Supreme Court. The Constitution defines the role of each of the three branches of the federal government. That's the separation of powers that is so important to our democracy.

[whistle]

5. Don't wait until 2009 for a democratic president, impeach Bush/Cheney now!

[yurbud]

6. sounds like a good satire of the October Surprise in 1980

[zbdent]

15. Yeah, the Iran-Congress Affair

[HereSince1628]

7. That ain't even gonna play in public

Of course this sort of thing goes on all the time but it cannot be public, Dems pretty roundly condemn Reagan for doing just this sort of thing with the US-embassy hostages held prisoner by Iran.

[Demeter]

9. It Sounds Like Bush Sr. and the Iranian Hostage Crisis, Actually

It might not be such a bad idea, either.

[soothsayer]

10. Is that what we'd want the pubs to do to our Dem prez? Don't

like the precedent.

[rock]

11. Batshit crazy

but very innovative. Keep it up, we need original thinkers.

[Kelly Rupert]

12. Insane and unconstitutional, but other than that a good idea.

No, seriously. I like the idea quite a bit. It's just not practical. Keep it up, though.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. Yeah

I vote crazy.

[CJCRANE]

18. Interesting idea...

but no.

Let the Republicans corner the market on "making secret deals with rogue nations".
