    What is the goddamned fascination with cutting the DOE? Seriously. I can't believe people are cheering "yay, a more poorly educated American populace!"

    Wait, after the past two debates I can believe that.

    Wow, they're attributing a rise of 80 searches for "jobs at McDonalds" to the economy.

    I wonder if they've considered the fact that there are just way more Google searches now than there were then, and it would explain all of that.

    That spike looks to be that one day where McDonalds hired several thousand people at once.

    You don't understand: clearly, the state of Alabama can do a better job of educating children than the federal government.

    He just said 'WELCOME BACK' like we just finished halftime at the super bowl.

    Foreign policy, this should be interesting. First up: Who can nuthug Israel the hardest?

    Republicans really fucking hate teachers, and by association, the DoE.

    I like that Romney doesn't mention the Israelis dissing Biden immediately before his visit, there, but blames Obama for dissing them.

    Apparently, when it comes to most countries, we need to take a hard line, but with Israel, we just need to bend over, and tell them it's okay not to use lube.

    Did the Deputy Prime Minister know that Herman Cain was going to be at that meeting, or was it a surprise?

  • KanaKana Registered User regular
    Oh shit I don't know how to answer this, time to refer to Reagan and that I was just in Israel.

    Hee, he has no idea wtf the question was about.

    Also... I'm a bit uncomfortable with these evangelical christians defending israel. A part of my brain is rebelling against this being reality.

    The 'unilateral declaration'? What the fuck? The US is gearing up to make a unilateral denial (security council veto) of the existence of a Palestinian state.

  • KanaKana Registered User regular
    I love how Palestine is somehow 'unilaterally' becoming recognized as a nation by the UN.

    Well if the government is teaching kids that it's okay to be queer, and the state of Alabama will teach them to live in fear of a wrathful god with dubious aiming skills...

    "I will make sure things never get that bad with Pakistan by strengthening our ties with our allies in the region...like India."

    Yes, Pakistan will love that.

    We should be making... y'know... Alliances. With our allies? In Pakistan? Or wherever?

    I haven't heard republicans this excited about alliances and diplomacy since... Well, ever.

    Two reasons:

    1) The Israelis are some of the whitest people in the region; they have a metric fuckton of Eastern European immigrants, and the Republicans will pretty much always support the whitest people in a fight.

    2) People who believe in the Rapture think that the Jews have to be in control of Israel in order for it to happen, so they support Jewish ownership of Israel so that when Jesus descends from on high, they can be damned to hell for all eternity.

    That doesn't make it any more comfortable in my brain that people who insist that my religion is wrong and I need to accept jesus in order to live is also now backing the 'Jewish homeland' (no i do not want to get into an argument over religion with you Thanatos).

    Newt Gingrich knows the guy's full of bullshit, but pretends to agree with him by loading his sentences with 'bureaucrats'

    Hmm, my stream just imploded.

    Essentially, Palestine is supposed to be its own country (see the current UN thing). Israelis basically live all over it, they restrict Palestinian movements, control security, and so on.

    They build houses on Palestinian land, then shoot any Palestinians who try to object.

    They had suspended building these, but went ahead and authorized a shitload of them the day Biden showed up to make nicey-nice between them and the Palestinians. It was a complete dick move, and pretty much Netanyahu and his coalition of bigots dickslapping the administration to score points locally.

    The appropriate way to react to it was to leave, and take the American diplomatic envoy with them, but instead we just gave them a small slap on the wrist.
