If so, was it just continuing the process? Because I just can't imagine Kerry making anything 'better' in terms of foreign policy. Is he more active? He seems to be. But he just seems horrifically incompetent at the job. Like he has never read the slightest in histories of the people with whom he's dealing.<br /><br />- reader #1482Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-24179490691023256612016-06-17T11:40:12.934-04:002016-06-17T11:40:12.934-04:00Did we expel?

Why is the GOPe ...That is an important observation. Why is the GOPe criticizing Trump rather than explaining what is correct about Trump's statements?<br /><br />There is only one answer. The GOPe (GOP establishment) is a loose collection of individual politicians who are marketing themselves as an opposition party, but in fact are a division of the UniParty. They expect to be reelected as mild Progressives rather than take and explain actual conservative positions and votes.<br /><br />The GOPe says enough to send emails to supporters, but arranges to be ineffective in practice. There are no GOPe education efforts to inform the public between elections, and it is too late to do this during elections. They then claim that they have to be DemLight in order to keep their seats, which is true as far as it goes. The failure happens between elections during periods of no outreach.<br /><br />The Dems/Progs are always pushing their agenda and false statistics. When did we last hear any important Republican talk about the important defensive use of guns, reported as more than 2 million per year? I never have.<br /><br />The GOPe is dead to me. They are a shield party, not an opposition party.<br />Andrew_M_Garlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855052302054611917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-70983506343067011792016-06-15T01:09:46.491-04:002016-06-15T01:09:46.491-04:00Diplomad, your observation also applies to Progres...Diplomad, your observation also applies to Progressives.

The response of the progs, much of the commentariat, and the various RINOs to the Orlando shooting and the Trump speech is beyond disappointing. We need to be discussing gun control? Really? And Trump somehow said something wrong in his strong and common sense speech? It looks like it's going to take a great deal of citizen involvement to push this boulder up the hill through November 8 and get Trump elected.

And it is overstepping and going overboard on NSA surveillance of law-abiding citizens. They either do too little or too much, and do not respect the law and the Constitution.<br /><br />Obama today implied that Trump is in some way threatening Muslims who are American citizens and the press is picking that up to mislead the public.

I know he's not a conservative in several areas, and I know he's baited the media numerous times with edgy questions and answers. But who does the GOP think it's marketing itself to? Democrats? Liberals? There is no solidly conservative running in this campaign with a chance to win the white house, so the onus is on the GOP to embrace the best (or least worst, if you will) candidate left standing.<br /><br />I don't think GOP reps need to agree with Trump on everything, but they need to agree that he's better than Hillary, or they might as well just go home. They need to do this *now*, not 'after the convention', and not 'before the general election', or it gives up valuable marketing opportunities for the conservative effort itself.<br /><br />- reader #1482Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-39331571362991365482016-06-14T17:01:47.235-04:002016-06-14T17:01:47.235-04:00I'm not sure if Hellery said this phrase here ...I'm not sure if Hellery said this phrase here ... but both she and Obummer are now using the focus-group tested phrase "weapons of war".
