Regardless of your opinion of transjen's posts there is no reason to call her a man. Her profile clearly states female. Your first sentence is just plain insulting.

Yeah, Jen is most definitely female. And a hot one at that!

I said it awhile back that this thread is kinda pointless mainly due to the fact that since 01 there are only two types of people those who love W and those who hate W, As for Obama those who love W will hate Obama no matter what he says or does Jennifer

Well hopefully it has dispelled some myths and some people have learned from it. There have been 654 replies on this thread and 7269 views. It's obviously not just the few of us reading it.

Woah... Deja Vu. Is this like Groundhog day or something?

Oversight on my part - sorry!

Oversight and 'insulting' are NOT synonomous!

[TracyCoxx]

Oversight not withstanding, all your other points are correct.

There are a couple of foreign policy developments happening this week. The Iranian post-election uprising, and North Korea both threatening to launch missiles at Hawaii and Alaska and also transporting a ship load of nuclear materials in the pacific.

Obama supporters: How would you think that Obama will, or should handle these events?

What should he do now? What should he do if the uprisings in Iran are stopped with deadly force? What should he do if North Korea launches a missile near Hawaii or Alaska? What should he do about the ship load of nuclear materials?

obama will do what just he's done so far; he'll go appologize for America's arrogance and interventionist policies then extend an "olive branch" to those nations threatening to wipe us and our allies off the map. As far as obama's supporters, they'll do what they always do. Instead of trying to defend and rationalize their guy's (obama's) policies and statements, they'll just blame Bush.

Thia is from Joe Kline at Time
I've been receiving a steady stream of favorable emails from Iranian-Americans regarding my appearance on Larry King last night. They're delighted that I made it clear that Iran is different from the other countries in the region--better educated, more sophisticated, with far greater rights for women (although not nearly enough). And they also appreciated the fact that when King asked me what John McCain should do right now, I said, "Be quiet."

The Washington Post has a piece today about the efforts of some Republicans to make hay out of the situation in Iran. McCain, who spent the entire 2008 election making misleading statements about the nature of the Iranian government (I wonder if he still thinks Ahmadinejad is more powerful than the Supreme Leader), has been at the forefront of this. It is very unseemly. I have yet to hear what possible good it would do for the President of the United States to encourage the protesters, except to give the Iranian regime a better excuse for killing more of them. McCain's bleatings are either for domestic political consumption or self-satisfaction, a form of hip-shooting onanism that demonstrates why he would have been a foreign policy disaster had he been elected.

To put it as simply as possible, McCain--and his cohorts--are trying to score political points against the President in the midst of an international crisis. It is the sort of behavior that Republicans routinely call "unpatriotic" when Democrats are doing it. I would never question John McCain's patriotism, no matter how misguided his sense of the country's best interests sometimes seems. His behavior has nothing to do with love of country; it has everything to do with love of self.

Repubs are just passing the same old shit.
