So Fox is supporting Obama and going against Israel at the same time? Dafuq is happening here?

2 Fox personalities have spoken against Boehner arranging for a foreign diplomat (netanyahu) to address Congress without the white houses consent or even knowledge.

The 2 Fox personalities are not supporting Obama but are supporting the POTUS office as the only branch that should be setting up foreign diplomats to talk about foreign policy .. and Israel has always been considered a bi-partisan platform.

There are certain things that you just cannot do. Allowing House republicans to mess with foreign policy and show a divided front is a big no-no. especially when it will literally get nothing accomplished. Obama will veto any sanctions against Iran.

We arent the only fractured House. Apparently the Mossad doesnt want sanctions passed either, despite what Netanyahu thinks. I was reading the hazzera (israel news site) and a lot of israelis arent happy w netanyahu for this latest disrespectful stunt.

Obama said he wasnt going to meet w Netanyahu.

Netanyahu has now pushed his "visit" back a month to when the AIPAC meets and after the Iran sanction vote in the House.

Boehner and Netanyahu accomplished nothing except chill US and Israel relations. Why the fuck should Obama give 2 shits about Netanyahu after this? why should Obama give 2 shits after Netanyahu decided to "lecture" the president on israel-palestinian history years ago? Why should any US president give 2 shits when Israel refuses to stop building on disputed territories from pres Bush time to now?

and I am pro-israel.

I honestly have no clue what the Repubs are doing right now.

they want to amend the US constitution to ban same sex marriage? these supposed "tea party" strict constructionists want to amend the US constitution?

In Alabama, the republicans are telling clerks they will be arrested for a year if they follow the law and give out marriage licenses to same sex couples. They are also mulling a freeze on all marriage licenses -same or hetro.

The last time southern republicans did some thing like this, they closed down schools for everyone (white and black) instead of integrating schools.

just bizarre. devote religious republicans are a backwards bunch.

As long as the Republican party keeps pandering to the far far right, they'll never win another Presidential election again. They have to abandon those dickwads and move closer to the middle and moderates to get their votes.

Hell, when you look at the political spectrum, most democrats are usually to the right of the line and pretty much what conservatives in the 80s used to be like.

Here is one for the 2012 election and its candidates.

I would venture to guess that Reid was in the same range of Obama while Pelosi would be slightly left of Obama/Reid.

I don't by into the whole Obama is a socialist BS and I think that graph validates my belief. Whenever some one tells me Obama is hell bent on wealth redistribution I always ask how is that different from any other President? It is usually met with crickets.

I am amused you want to classify Obama, Reid, and Pelosi as a right-wingers, while castigating other right wingers.

Can you show me where I said anything of the sort? Let's not just make up bullshit on the fly. Thanks. Also, have you not paid attention to the shit I've given Obama and crew? Just keep your head in the sand on those things as well. The GOP just happen to make it easier because they do/say much dumber things.

The chart you posted has Obama, Romney, Gingrinch, and Santorum, in the upper right corner of the upper right quadrant of the map. By those standards, yes they are all right wingers. And "one party" as that very article says. I know it's a pathetic attempt by whoever made that graphic, to say that Obama really isn't that different than republicans, and I guess compared to communists, anarchists, and other extremists, he isn't. Doesn't prove much, though.

So you want to backtrack from your previous post of how you would rate Obama, Reid, and Pelosi with that link you posted? And you really should read your own links, before accusing me of bullshit and having your head in the sand.

So, about the "shit you have given Obama". Do you criticize him more for being too liberal, or not liberal enough? Is he too "right wing" for you?
