Barack Obama Foreign Policies Mitt Romney Newt Gingrich

The Appeasement Claim For President Obama Is Pure Insanity

Historians today question the decisions of Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister of Britain during the 1930’s. Mr. Chamberlain wanted to avoid a major conflict with Nazi Germany, so he engaged in what some called, an “appeasement foreign policy,” which many historian believed allowed Hitler to grow too strong, causing mass devastation to the Jewish people

In the case of politics, appeasement is usually used to describe a leader who’s weak on foreign policies, one who prefers to “sell out” instead of standing firm for his/her beliefs.

At a Jewish meeting earlier this week, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney used the word “appeasement” a total of seven times when describing President Obama’s foreign policies. A well-played attack of the President by Romney, as the word itself brings back a very negative meaning for the Jewish people – a very strong voting block in American politics.

“Internationally, President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy,” Romney said. “Appeasement betrays a lack of faith in America, in American strength and in America’s future.”

But Romney is not the only Republican candidate using the word to describe President Obama’s foreign policies. Newt Gingrich has said it on a few different occasions. “America is the first business of the State Department,” Gingrich said at a recent meeting,”not appeasing our opponents.” Gingrich also said that he is often worried, and the cause of his worries are “based on a State Department which has consistently engaged in appeasement.”

Yesterday, a White House reporter asked President Obama to respond to the Republicans appeasement claims. His answer, in my view, was classic;

“Ask Osama bin Laden and the 22 out of 30 top al-Qaeda leaders who’ve been taken off the field whether I engage in appeasement –or whoever’s left out there, ask them about that.”

Republicans have no legs to stand on when it comes to foreign policies, and their willful effort to lie to the American people, trying to suggest that President Obama is a weak leader on foreign issues when the opposite is so blatantly obvious, is pure insanity.

Mitt Romney Turns Back On Donald Trump’s Debate

If a debate happens in the forest and no one is there to participate, will it make a sound? What’s a Donald to do. His need for exposure to sell his new book is not going to well. Will this actually hurt his book sales?

Word on the street is that Mitt Romney has joined Jon Huntsman and Ron Paul in denying Donald Trump the spotlight he so desperately needs. Donald Trump did not waste any time attacking Romney for the decision not to attend. He released a statement saying;

“It would seem logical to me that if I was substantially behind in the polls, especially in Iowa, South Carolina and Florida, I would be participating in the debate. But I can also understand why Gov. Romney decided not to do it.”

With Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum being the only confirmed candidates to the Trump mess so far, maybe they can debate each other. America needs to know who is the biggest loser, Santorum, Trump or Newt?

Mitt Romney Says He’s Not A Career Politician. Let’s Go To The Video Tape

Another superb production by the DNC. This time, taking on the false claim by Republican Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney: “I didn’t spend my life in politics.”

Well, maybe not your  entire life Mitt, but a huge portion of it was spent in politics, and we’re sure if children were allowed to run for political office, you would have been first in line.

Ron Paul Shows Newt Gingrich’s Speciality – The Flip Flop

We take pleasure in bringing you an ad from Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. The ad puts Newt Gingrich, the present leader in the Republican nomination race, into the spotlight, and, we believe, is meant to show Mitt Romney how the real flip-floppers, flip flop.

The 150-second ad showcases some questionable conservative stances made by the former speaker of the House, such as his agreement with Nancy Pelosi that “our country must take action to address climate change” and labeling Representative Paul Ryan’s proposed Medicare overhaul as “right-wing social engineering.”

The ad uses gritty black and white news clips to slam Gingrich’s work since leaving public office 13 years ago as a lobbyist for the health care industry and for mortgage giant Freddie Mac.

Huntsman – Romney Is In The Hip Pocket Of Wall Street

“Anyone who is in the hip pocket of Wall Street because of all the donations they are picking up, like Mr. Romney, is in these days not going to be the change agent who is going to fix the too-big-to-fail banking system.” Per MSNBC,  Huntsman’s comments were delivered to an audience of about 80 people.

Huntsman went even further in his attack on Romney. Presumably referring in part to endorsements that Romney has received from Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) and Congressman Charlie Bass (R-N.H.), Huntsman said, “You should be wary of any candidate who carries the endorsements of every member of Congress, because it means they’re going to be a status quo president.”

And I totally agree with you Jon Huntsman. Being in the hip pocket of Wall Street is about the only thing consistent with Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney is a flip flopper, but what else is new. Just about anyone  who’s ever watched and listened to Mitt Romney could come with at least 7 or 8 different situations where the Republican presidential candidate has chosen both sides of any one issue. But for the few who cannot come up with examples of Romney’s different flip-flopping antics, here’s a little video to jog your memory.

Republicans Don’t Even Want To Appear Humane

“I don’t see how the — the party that says it’s the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families that have been here a quarter century. And I’m prepared to take the heat for saying, let’s be humane in enforcing the law without giving them citizenship but by finding a way to create legality so that they are not separated from their families.”

That was Newt Gingrich, the present leader in the Republican’s race to take on President Obama in 2012. Gingrich was responding to a question about illegal immigration, and whether his administration would deport people living in this country illegally.

Gingrich was immediately pounced upon by the likes of Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann, who called Gingrich’s stance “amnesty.” They also called Newt’s idea a “magnet,” claiming that if you create legality for those families here 25 years or more, then others will come to this country illegally, expecting the same after their 25 years.

Well Gingrich said he was prepared to take the heat for saying “let’s be humane,” so here comes the heat.

High ranking Republicans are coming down on Newt for his recent, surprising stance on immigration . Representative Peter King joined in, calling Gingrich’s plan is “a form of amnesty.” King continued;

“I think if Speaker Gingrich had that to do over again, he might couch his language a little differently at a minimum. I wouldn’t agree with him on that policy,” King said. “I think that when you give people even a promise that they can stay in the country after they’re here illegally you become more of a magnet and it is a form of amnesty and more people will come in counting on that.”

King has been a vocal critic of so-called “amnesty” programs, and indicated that if he decided to endorse a candidate before the Jan. 3 caucus, Gingrich had hurt his chances.

If Republicans looked at what Newt said, they would see that he was not offering citizenship to these people, he is offering a “form of legality“,  to people who have been in this country for over 25 years, worked, paid taxes, and people who have roots in the communities they live in. Maybe they will be okay with Newt’s idea, but that word humane…!

Well, I usually don’t agree with the Newt, but it is rather amusing to see Republicans falling all over themselves, trying to separate their party from the very appearance of seeming humane.

PolitiFact Calls Mitt Romney’s Lie “Pants On Fire”

It’s a talking point used, not only by Mitt Romney, but also by Michele Bachmann, and really just about every other Republican in Congress. They just love repeating it over and over, like it cannot be checked for accuracy or something.

Well PolitiFact, the non-biased, non-partisan group, has taken it upon themselves to fact-check these politicians. At the last Republican presidential debate, Mitt Romney continued the usual talking point – “President Obama apologizes  for America.”

Fact-checking found this to be a lie. And not just any ol’ lie,  like a white lie or a fib. No, this one qualifies for a category PolitiFact calls a “Pants On Fire” lie.

Mitt Romney’s Campaign Defends His Lying Ad

Relax people, it’s okay to lie as part of your campaign strategy to become the next elected president of the United States. At least that’s what Mitt Romney and his campaign camp believes. And they want you to be in on the lie too!

When asked if they had any explanation for intentionally misleading the American people with an ad showing President Obama saying, “if we keep talking about the economy, we will lose,” Romney’s campaign said that was their intent. Misleading the American people is “exactly what we want.”

What the ad fails to tell the American people is that –  the then Senator –  Obama was actually paraphrasing something Mr. McCain said in their 2008 presidential campaign.

Romney senior New Hampshire adviser Tom Rath tells CBS News the ad is “exactly what we want.”

“They were using McCain’s words to make fun of McCain. And we’re using the exact same technique,” he said.

Pressed on whether it was unfair to lop off the top of Mr. Obama’s comments — which would show the president was quoting the McCain camp — Rath said, “He did say the words. That’s his voice.”

He then [suggested] that the more people discuss the ad, the better it is for the Romney campaign.

So what’s the moral of this story? There’s none. There are ABSOLUTELY NO MORALS depicted in this story… and that’s exactly the way Romney is choosing to run his campaign. Morals, apparently, are for losers!

Mitt Romney Lies To The American People… Again!

Something must be terribly wrong in the Mitt Romney camp. The Republican presidential candidate has continually resorted to blatantly lying about the president.

In a new political ad engineered by the Romney campaign, President Obama is heard saying “if we keep talking about the economy, we will lose.” But what Romney and his handlers failed to reveal to the viewer, is that Mr. Obama was actually quoting something said by his 2008 Republican presidential opponent – Senator John McCain.

Is this the only thing the desperate but eventual Republican front-runner can come up with, lying to the American people to try and win the White House?

Actually,  no one here is surprised. He is, after all, a Republican.

Where Are Mitt Romney’s Government Records In Massachusetts? – Destroyed

While calling for more transparency from the Obama Administration, Mitt Romney – the sure thing to eventually win the Republican nomination for the 2012 presidential election – just about admitted today in an interview that he had his campaign workers  destroy emails and other records from his time as governor in Massachusetts. The idea was to keep his political opponents from knowing how he governed. Y’ know… “transparency.”

They even went as far as buying back old hard-drives from the computers used in his administration.

Romney and his campaign have so far denied this, with the candidate saying this weekend in New Hampshire that his staff took the highly unusual step of purchasing their work hard drives because they might contain “confidential and private” information…

But in a fairly stunning admission today during an interview with the editorial board of the Nashua Telegraph in New Hampshire, Romney suggested that his administration deleted emails because they didn’t want “opposition research teams” to have access to them.

In the interview, Romney said, “…well, I think in government we should follow the law. And there has never been an administration that has provided to the opposition research team, or to the public, electronic communications. So ours would have been the first.”
