Newt: "courageous of Obama" to escalate in Afghanistan as it will "split his base"

[LynnTheDem]

Yes, it's all POLITICS.

For the people of Afghanistan, for the people of America, who will have their heads blown off, their faces burned off, their arms and legs ripped off, their lives bleeding into the ground, left dead, maimed, crippled, useless the rest of their lives, to the families who will be left without their mother, father, brother, sister...
















It's all about POLITICS.

1. Fucking disgusting...

Even for Newt.

Do you have the quote in context?

[Richardo]

2. Politics is the prism through which Newt views the universe.

Any action which is not politically motivated is incomprehensible to him. Today's GOP is his creation, and it shows.

3. TRANSLATION: "We'll have a much easier time beating Obama and the Dems

if their base is split as ours is!"

5. Correct

[Clio the Leo]

6. Yep.....

.... I'm afraid we have to decide as Democrats whether we'd rather have a Democrat as Commander in Chief or a Republican (and likely a right wing one at that.)

The choice is pretty simple to me.

7. Newt wishes for Obama to fall and so do the Failers here at DU.

Too bad for all the Obama Haters on both sides of the aisle that I and so many other Dem activists I know are Obama's base and we ain't splitting.
