Rangel calls Romney a threat to national security

[rareboy]

Does trying to spread mormonism in France in the 60s (rather than serving his country) count as political experience? No? Never mind

 

[chance1]

I didn't realize Charlie Rangel was still around

He was censured and ostracized by his party

But ran again anyway ...... And his constituents said it was ok to be a felon

Charlie also recently said that Bidens comments about y'all in chains was a slavery thing

As a NY-er it's well established that Charlie is not an honorable guy

So many quotable "Mitt is xyz" why would such an intelligent thread creator chose Charlie?

I mean pick a Repub? Or a non felon dem ?

Sorta dumb

As for national security nothing less secure than an economy on the brink

not quite as awesome as "headless man found in topless bar" but this front page of the NY Post was pretty damn good

he's not chris christie fat but .....

why are we quoting Charlie Rangel?

 

[BostonPirate]

International experience that is of a positive nature:

He keeps the banks bustling in the Cayman Islands, Switzerland and God only knows where else.

Domestic experience that is of a positive nature:

He gives the people who work at the Unemployment Office job security with all the plants he's closed.

Ann keeps the Cadillac dealerships in business.

He supplies the late night comedians with a lot of material.


..... and that's about it.

He also employed those illegals to mow his lawn. I guess that is his foreign aid experience.

Not unlike Newt Gingrich.

He gets lots of his foreign relations experience from Appalling Ryan, who drove a Weinermobile. Let's see... a weiner is also called a frankfurter - of German origin. That should suffice for foreign relatiions for the True Believers.

Oh right.. the guy who lies about what votes he cast in the hated congress so much he is now more of a liar than Romney is.

What a dirty and dangerous campaign these buffoons are running!

Does this mean your full support of Romney is finally out in the open?

If Charlie and Rev Al paid their delinquent tax debts -- it would eliminate the deficit.

If Charlie and Rev Al paid their delinquent tax debts -- it would eliminate the deficit.

And if Mitt Romney paid all the taxes on his offshore accounts the debt would probably decrease by a percentage point.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to remind people of another way that Romney has international experience... in money hiding.

is this really the person we want to give the treasury to?

What a fucking joke. Romney continues to spiral down in the polls.

Picturing u with a microphone pushing thru the crowd to get your exclusive story

It just means that personal attacks and outrageous claims are not ones to be embraced

And the idea that BO is some kind of foreign affairs afficionado because he ordered the death of OBL is absurd

His middle east friends play is a disaster
With our only real friend feeling less than comfortable

Mitt could not have done worse in the ME - thats for sure

 

[BostonPirate]

An economy on the so called "brink" can't even save a collapsing Mitt Romney. It's like he intentionally self imploded. It's like Mittens doesn't want to be President.



Right wingers keep on saying his middle east policy is a disaster, but they can't prove it.

More importantly...

They can't say what Romney's option is.. what Romney's position is. He simply refuses to answer questions in any way as to how he would conduct business differently that Obama. We DO know who works for him, and 17 of his 24 advisors are from the Bush era... the guy that came up with enhanced interrogation is one of his charmers. These will be the people that would inhabit a Romney NSA team and State dept.

That is fucking scary shit.

I still get no substantial response to the concept that under a much more Bellicose administration where we slung tough words like a spaghetti western we were attacked six hundred percent more often. From the irrational people on here who have no clue what international politics and diplomacy means but they root for the football team and think that counts. To the various right wing radio pundits who populate the airwaves. They have no defense of their irrational thought that by being more agressive verbally somehow that equates to more security. What it really does is put the professional diplomats in the line of fire while the soft headed pundits sit back at home safe and sound saying we should yell louder.

 

[BostonPirate]

bush + Tea Party = Romney

Hows that for clintonian arithmetic

It's all an investment scheme.

the premise is shit

right now israel and iran are on the brink with iran more and more capable every day of fulfilling their promise of the destruction of israel

the middle east has never been more combustible

meanwhile obama unlike bush would've or romney would've has not said we stand by israel period

meanwhile there are protests all over

Middle East protests: mobs attack six Western embassies as protesters fill streets - Telegraph

it'd be grand if being the good guy resonated and paid dividends for all

but i think we're seeing that being nice isn't a policy

as for Charlie Rangel being the source of a discussion ........... absurd is being kind

 

[BostonPirate]

oh so Obama is at fault for what a filmmaker did? Your arguments don't have a premise at all... Israel has a great partner in the United States and Obama administration. Netanyahu is just mad that he couldn't meet with Obama... he could have met with Hillary Clinton though. More useless attacks on Obama with little to no substance.

If something is wrong in a republican's world, even as minimal as a hang nail, Blame Obama.

The idea that Obama has not decreased the pressure internationally is laughable. Imagine what we would be doing right now as a nation if bush or his surrogate, Romney, were in the white house.

We would be preparing for war. Against whom? Ehh... they would start preparing before they even decided who to kill.

That is not what we want, and that is why Obama is going to win in November, and Why he has such a sizeable lead over Romney. Historically no president has ever been elected with such high unemployment numbers. Romney is seen as so scary by many now, that they would rather not work, essentially, than let Romney in office.

His window is closed on redefining himself. It really is. This is over. All that's left to do now is work on voter turn out and making sure the courts overturn the rest of the voter suppression laws.

I think Pennsylvania Supremes are about to get rid of the one there... Florida was stopped by the courts as well.

Slowly the courts are stopping the voter tampering that the GOP is attempting. Thank god for that.

If McCain had won, we would already be at war with Syria, as well as Iraq and Afghanistan. IT would be impossible for him to have acted.

America does not need to have multiple war capabilities until someone figures out a way to stop wars of choice from being used under the guise of police actions. We would be in a terrible place right now, if we take McCain for his word, in the last four years. He criticized the end of the Iraqi war as cut and run. He thinks we ought to have a war without end in Afghanistan, and he says he would have invaded Libya, boots on the ground, and he would have invaded Syria, boots on the ground.

Where do all these boots come from? Draft?

As usual that part is always left out. I guess if you kill enough soldiers in war, it will lower unemployment. Perhaps that is the republican plan to lower the jobless rate.

 

[Kulindahr]

OF COURSE. He's going to write several books on his attempt to run for office and Bain Capital (where he won't mention a word of that dirty money he took)... be prepared for a nation wide book tour afterwards lol.

I meant more like he bounces his statement ideas off his investment team, and asks if they think it will make the market move much. If they think they can make a profit off the direction the market shifts, he goes ahead with the dumb statement.

He relies heavily on focus groups apparently.

His strategy is purely of figuring out what people will like to hear and vote for, so he can say it. If I were him I would fire the people running that focus group, cause Romney can't buy a sack of hammers without screwing it up... LITTERALY.
