When Barack Hussein NObAama ran for president in 2008 with no foreign policy experience (unless you count ACORN as its own brave nation state), our good, kind and decent brethren on the right thought this might be a bad idea. How would this 48-year-old baby ever defeat bin Laden, or Khadafi, or the Soviet Union? Barack balanced out his lack of foreign policy experience with grizzled Old Handsome Joe Biden to appeal to people who cared about foreign policy and also whites. But this still was not good enough for some people! (Shockingly.) Now, Republican nominee Mittens of Romney and Suite Judy Blue Eyes Paul Ryan have a combined zero foreign policy experience. But would you believe that Mitt Romney
That budget busting Soviet military build-up is largely a lie. When asked about it, former USSR officials laugh.
Additionally, a much more important factor was getting the Saudis to overproduce oil and push down the world price, thus severely reducing the USSR's foreign currency revenues.
And Duh Gov' had military experience because the Governor of Alaska is head of the state's national guard and some of those good souls were serving in Iraq.
Not really a correction, as at the end of the day it remains an opinion. I'm just tired of hearing the right wing nutz repeat it as settled fact.
They're just in place so Norquist can move (puppeteer) the hand of whoever's in the Oval Office and sign the legislation put in front of them, so "advise" is a bit generous here.
<blockquote>Ryan&#039;s ratings were less positive than those for any other vice presidential pick part of Gallup [sic] since 2000, including Sarah Palin, Joe Biden and Dick Cheney.</blockquote>
From the article: Romney/Ryan 2012 &quot;Excellent / Pretty Good&quot; = 39% &quot;Only Fair / Poor&quot; = <b>42%</b> &quot;Unsure&quot; = 19%
Wonderful, wonderful. Hope this holds for 10 more weeks or so.
It&#039;s not cheating if the law doesn&#039;t actually forbid it. This is the kind of stellar morality we want ingrained in all kids, and then the USA of 2030 will be a veritable wonderland.
I&#039;ve actually held the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch and have farted in your general direction. I would like to be Undersecretary for US/UK Military Deployments.

And, to the extent that it is valid, Raygun was only continuing a policy that had been followed by every President of either party since Ike.

It sure isn&#039;t that.

I was going to claim the American ambassadorship in Paris because I eat French fries.
But they&#039;re &quot;Freedom Fries&quot; now, so I got nothin&#039;.
This is why (r)Money didn&#039;t go to Brussels on his recent European tour.
After a speech there, it&#039;s a dead solid lock the headline would have been &quot;Another Belgian waffle.&quot;
He&#039;s probably got a mansion<i> in </i>a foreign country. One of those that have great banking secrecy, and no extradition treaty.
Because the extra cash in his Caymans account will trickle down as jerbs for the middle class.
It truly buggers the imagination that the teabaggers believe such pure, unadulterated bullshit.
I dunno ... Biden taking on this clueless dweeb in a debate ought to be quite entertaining.
FWIW, the woman in the other car was named Marie-Antoinette.
I make great French toast ... first dibs on the Paris embassy!

Or throwing up in the lap of the Prime Minister of Japan.
