They really are shifting the goalposts with Rand. Even poo poo that he's on video saying doesn't count as long as there's another video of him with the exact opposite opinion.

Didn't he basically say that even if he is on video saying something, that it doesn't count? I remember something like that.

What would be awesome is finding two videos of Rand, where in one he has good ideas about A and bad ideas about B, and vice versa in the second. I would love to see the contortions to pick the good ideas out of both and pretend the bad ones don't count.

So I think I got a pretty good idea of what the Iran deal consists of, so is it safe to say that Romney's a moron?

quote:

WALLACE: Yes. So, let me ask you a foreign policy question because you've been quite critical of President Obama's negotiation with Iran.

And what I want to ask you is, what's the alternative, if on the one hand you have the deal that the president seems to be working out with the Iranians right now, and on the other hand, you have taking military action to try to degrade or destroy Iran's nuclear infrastructure -- what's the alternative in terms of finding a way to a deal that there's any realistic chance that the Iranian leaders will accept?

ROMNEY: Well, first of all, you have to have effective negotiators and President Obama and John Kerry have been amateur negotiators, have not done the job they should have done.

But the alternative is pretty straight forward, that is to return to put in place more and more crippling, tightening sanctions so that Iran feels more and more pressure and is more willing to come to the bargaining table, willing to give things up as opposed to us going to the bargaining table and giving things up.

Look, the president was saying there's no reason for Iran to have Fordow, for instance, which is developing advanced nuclear technology and plutonium. And he was right. I mean, he drew a red line.

But, you know, there doesn't seem to be a read line the president meets that he is not willing to walk away from. And this is another circumstance where he's walking away from that, just trying to get a deal done and a bad deal is not as good as no deal.

And the right thing to do is to cripple -- cripple them with tougher sanctions, bring them back to the negotiating table six months or year from now and get the kind of agreement that doesn't do what happened with North Korea. Don't forget what we're doing is going down the same path we went with North Korea. North Korea now has a bomb. They also have technology they send to others around the world. This deal that the president has laid out is not the kind of deal that will protect us and protect the world.

1. The U.S. didn't give up anything in this deal and pretty much all concessions were on Iran's part.
2. We already enacted crippling sanctions on Iran, that's why they came to the negotiation table to begin with!
3. If Iran tries to renege on their agreement to be inspected and reduce their uranium (or is it plutonium?) stockpiles, the sanctions go back into place.
4. North Korea got nukes on a Republican president's watch.

Did I get any of that wrong?

Iran doesn't even have stockpiles of Plutonium, IIRC (Their mere existence would be concrete evidence of a bomb project). Instead, I believe they're going to shut down breeder reactors that can potentially generate Plutonium, though I'm sure someone more familiar with the deal will correct me.

iirc, Iran is allowed to keep a single reactor, and even though it won't be able to produce anything near weapons-grade, one is still too many for republicans. Anything less than full capitulation on their part will give them a bomb.

It's mostly because any Dems worth salt have kept so quiet to distance themselves from the figurehead of their party that they have virtually no recognition. Anyone that is recognizable is so because of reasons unrelated to an ability or willingness to lead. Maybe Hillary wanted it so bad she put a figurative gun to their heads to avoid another underdog overtaking her.

Eurabia is under Sharia Law :ohdear:

quote:

Senate Bill 1067 would have allowed Idaho officials to use the federal government’s existing system to provide enforcement after tracking down deadbeat parents.

Because the federal system is tied to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, which includes agreements with the Hague Convention on International Recovery of Child Support and Family Maintenance agreed to by Muslim-majority countries such as Bosnia and Albania, Idaho lawmakers fear the influence of creeping Sharia law.

“There is no specific language in the bill that would protect the rights of those dealing with parentage, child support and support orders from a foreign country that would contradict our laws here, ” said Sen. Sheryl Nuxoll (R). “There are other countries listed in the treaty—France, Belgium— that have recognized Sharia courts as quasi-courts. So I just feel that you should be aware of those facts.”

With other Republicans agreeing, including Rep. Kathy Sims (R) who said, “We don’t need to invite foreign law in Idaho,” the House Judiciary and Rules Committee shot the bill down.
