Now I get It: It's Diplomacy When the Republicans do it and Treason when the Democrats do it.

Condi Rice sits down with Qaddafi, who was behind an admitted terrorist attack that killed American military personnel by blowing up a plane over Scotland (Pan Am 103).

Now we are making oil deals with him, and playing nice. Yet when Barack suggests that we open a line of communication with Iranian officials, it's tantamount to treason.

Now I get it. If you're actually a terrorist, it's OK with Repukes, but if you might be one, we should never try to talk you out of it.

Makes all the sense in the world to me now.

1. There are 2 rule books

Dems must follow both of them, pubs, not so much.

2. I was just having a similar discussion on another board

They were claiming Obama was going to negotiate with terrorists. I asked what they meant and asked them to show me where he said that. They of course said Iran. I of course pointed to N. Korea. Then I repeated what I said earlier in the conversation the description I had made about Obama's tone, stopping the 'with us or against us' shit, etc, you know all the arguments.

The conversation kind of stopped there. Strange, eh?

4. Double standards

Repukes have many of them.
