Every politician wants to increase military spending.
no ***sherlock. we own them. who do think pays for all their ad campaigns? the tooth beaver!?
I love the "we spend too much money on the military" complaint
Oh really? then please provide me with the exact right amount.
Thanks.

I don't disagree that we need to cut military spending down, but not as much as liberals/democrats want to cut it. Sorry King, it isn't the liberals doing the cutting, nor the conservatives, but the sequester they both voted for.
I have no problem maintaining the largest/best-equipped military in the world.
But we need to change the way we do it. We shouldn't be spending more than the next 10+ militaries in the world combined.... UNDERSTATEMENT ALERT!
At the height of our adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan we outspent the REST OF THE WORLD in military expenditures. Today we only outspend 90% of the rest of the world.

look... we can't cut military spending for the same reason we can't fire everyone that "works" for the gubberment. too much of the economy depends on both.

Your kindergarten teach would be appalled. Nowhere in the article you posted or the link to the fox article does it say, in fact, that Obama Administration is funding anti-netanyahu campaign. What it does say is that there is a bi partisan committe that is investigating the possibility that a $350,000 grant given to one voice could have been used to do this. They try to tie that together by saying that one voice is affiliated with another group that is anti-netanyahu. Your headline is misleading and false and your whole post is garbage followed up by a lame insult as a reply. 3
Yes I'm sure my kindergarten teacher would be very disapointed! Your razor sharp wit has wounded me once again Nausi lol...
I also like to point out that you seem to have no problem with the US government spending billions to arm and defend Israel and spend more money and time to officially invite him over here so that he can campaign to influence US political discourse but you have an article that alludes to the possibility that the Obama Admin might have possibily given a grant to an entity that is or has been affiliated with an anti-netanyahu group and well damn ***has hit the fan for real!

Burr was a criminal and his family should be fined and penalized, forced to pay Hamilton's descendants damages!

Have I mentioned I'm distantly related to Alexander Hamilton?

nausi seems to think it equals a sweeping indictment of everything obama ever stood for...
it's DC speak for taking all of your concerns and complaints and shoving them into the garbage can.

Keep carrying that water for Obama, his opinions on Israel don't require any real degree of insight. It is certainly in his own interest to see the guy out of there.
As for my link, sure I drew my own conclusion from the ample supply of dots that were supplied, but like all arrogant fools, you've already made up your mind that fires never create smoke.

Carrying water for Obama? All I've done is question the idea that you even read the articles you post. Then I clarified what the article actually said as opposed to what you assert.
What ample supply of dots? You seem to be the one thats made up your mind already lol. You're the only one making claims. At least you admitted that those claims sprouted from your own delusion of seeing "an ample supply of dots".
you just like to jump the gun on everything partisan in an attempt to blame everything on democrats when you don't really even seem to understand whats going on around you lol.
By the way why are you ok with having the leader of a foreign nation come over and speak in front of congress to lobby the American government?

Actually, that's the point I haven't quite understood. What exactly is the problem with having an outside head of state address the congressional body in public?

If a foreign politician wants to come to the US to give a stump speech or whatever, that's his/her prerogative. Our politicians do the same, after all. Addressing Congress, though, is kind of pointless. Beyond the fact that Congress doesn't actually do anything (anymore, I mean), relationships between countries are managed by the President and his Secretary of State.
It makes about as much sense as me campaigning for a new school district levy... three states away and addressing a retirement community.

Did I say it was a problem? I asked a question.
People like Nausi are ok if someone like Netanyahu were to address congress but what if say the leader of Iran wanted to do the same? It would turn out to be some kind of assault on America and therefore proof that Obama is a muslim and his birth certificate was forged!

proof that Obama is a muslim
Which to many is still, somehow, a dirty thing...as they cling to their own religious beliefs and have no problem forcing them on others...

It's the thought that counts, but a $7 card with some glitter sprinkled on it really sells that thought.

I can't be bothered to write an original card so Hallmark has saved my *** many times.
I deeply regret cards can be used for any occasion.

I need to watch that video now...
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
