Surprised no talk on here about the deal with Iran. On the other hand none of us probably know enough to come to a conclusion yet.
The partisans will. Hillary and MSNBC will love it. Lindsay Grahm, Trump will hate it.
I am waiting for the more pragmatic folks to weigh in.

Most in the middle who aren't eager for more war will go along with it not because they think Iran is trustworthy, but because even if they cheat, the effect of the treaty will probably at least slow them down from getting Nukes. Otherwise they were going to get them before we were ready for war anyway.Originally posted by byu71 View PostSurprised no talk on here about the deal with Iran.

Your analysis may be spot on. We will never know what continued hard line sanctions would have entually resulted in either. So it will be what it is.Originally posted by BlueK View PostMost in the middle who aren't eager for more war will go along with it not because they think Iran is trustworthy, but because even if they cheat, the effect of the treaty will probably at least slow them down from getting Nukes.

In 15 years who is scarier having a nuke, Iran or Korea?

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would bring much-needed dignity to the 2016 Republican field, a new poll shows.
According to the poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, Palin’s ability to articulate her positions on issues with precision and restraint is sorely lacking among other entrants in the G.O.P. race.
Additionally, voters said that the former governor’s breadth of knowledge in the fields of economics, foreign affairs, and American history would place her head and shoulders above the current crop of Republican hopefuls.
In the words of one voter who was surveyed, “When I hear some of these candidates talk, I sure do miss Sarah Palin.”
Despite the overwhelming sense that she would contribute gravitas and intellectual rigor that have been woefully missing from the G.O.P. contest, a Palin candidacy appears unlikely, a spokesman said.
“Governor Palin is very flattered by this poll, but she is concerned that being associated with this field of candidates could harm her stature,” he said."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

That doesn't even make sense.Originally posted by byu71 View PostThey must have polled the same people that are saying they are voting for Trump."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I am no Palin supporter, but if Clinton was handled in the same regard as Palin, the dems would be gnashing their teeth at the sexism of the right.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

Also, I bet Clinton doesn't even read all the newspapers.Originally posted by imanihonjin View PostI am no Palin supporter, but if Clinton was handled in the same regard as Palin, the dems would be gnashing their teeth at the sexism of the right."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Yes of course. Because as we all know, everyone on the far right treats Hillary with nothing but dignity and respect.Originally posted by imanihonjin View PostI am no Palin supporter, but if Clinton was handled in the same regard as Palin, the dems would be gnashing their teeth at the sexism of the right."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?
