Good morning, gentle people!
This whole Romney / Freeperati thing has taken a bizarre turn – they hate him so much that they’ve all turned into DFHs.
Think I’m kidding?
Prepare yourselves for –I can haz war, plz?
Mitt Romney Says He Could Wage War on Iran Without Congress’ Approval
The Alatnic ^ | June 20th, 2012 | Conor FriedersdorfPosted on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 8:59:50 PM byMozilla
On Face the Nation on Sunday, Mitt Romney said that if elected president he wouldn’t have to get congressional permission for a military strike on Iran.
To quote him directly (emphasis added):
I can assure you if I’m president, the Iranians will have no question but that I will be willing to take military action if necessary to prevent them from becoming a nuclear threat to the world. I don’t believe at this stage, therefore, if I’m president that we need to have a war powers approval or special authorization for military force. The president has that capacity now. I understand that some in the Senate for instance have written letters to the president indicating you should know that a containment strategy is unacceptable. We cannot survive a course of action which would include a nuclear Iran we must be willing to take any and all actions.
All those actions must be on the table.

To: MozillaWell, we all know that arguing with idiots doesn’t work on the basis of our experiences with our neighbors and co-workers.Having said that; if we start up another war in the Middle East, we may very well run out of soldiers and armament.
I say let those people over there argue over whose god is the real god and which zombies and prophets are right about the universe until they wipe each other out.
I personally would not care if the entire Middle East was reduced to a sea of glass with no inhabitants.

To: MozillaOh great. Now we have our own candidate to be king.
Now some folks can run him on the ‘My king is better than your king” platform.
Armour and chain mail will be handed out at the jousting tournaments this fall.
Maybe we could cooperate with the other side to make sure their two armors are oppositely charged. The first time they make a pass, they’ll merge into one big glob of king juice and we can start over.

To: MozillaNope.
It was wrong when Obama did it in Libya, and it’ll be just as wrong if Romney does it in Iran.

To: YashcheritsiyIt was wrong when Obama did it in LibyaApples and oranges, my friend.
Libya was an internal matter and we should have stayed out. Iran wants to wipe another country off the map.
That was Iraq – and we did that for them. And not even a thank-you card in return!
That, cannot be allowed.

Somebody please tell Romney that we don’t even have enough money left to operate that pirate ship in the Pirate’s of the Caribbean ride at Disney, much less launch yet another war in the Middle East.

In all the “UN-declared” wars we have lost approximately 120,000 lives with close to 330,000 wounded.For what? A draw, a loss, and the verdict is still out on the latest two – OIF and OEF.
And here we have yet another Neo-con boasting how he will bypass Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution once again.
Words simply escape me – that can be posted under Jim’s guide lines anyway!
It will be interesting to watch them fall in line, as we know they must.
On the “Romney War on Iran” story, didn’t any of them mention Iraq? Have they literally flushed that one down the memory hole so they don’t even remember it happening anymore?
Southern – maybe I should start an office pool on what date the Freepers will cave. Their owner sure caved fast enough on only allowing comments on demanding support for one particular candidate.
Also, the “Training Video” made me wonder how come the NRA isn’t protesting NYC stop-and-frisk.
Comments on bullying consistent with image of the right as having a lot of people who bully their position?
Wondering what war with Iran would do to gas prices, national debt and world economy. Hopefully at least one freeper commented on that.
Thanks Tommy.
Also wondering – are the freepers gonna consider, RE: Rubio comments, that many Cuban Americans have a significant dislike of/prejudice towards the Mexican-Americans?
Thanks Tommy T!
Are we into 17-dimensional chess yet? Romney is so flummoxed over the mini-DREAM, SCOTUS striking down most of SB 1070, gas prices plummeting, and a host of other things that he is once again reduced to driving his bus around Obama events and honking. Pathetic. I can’t wait for the debates.

I told you guys it was really getting weird over there.
They really DO hate Rmoney – the “Kumbayah” thread is an example of how they’re even willing to embrace reality (formerly called liberal) talking points (i.e.
“How the fuck are we gonna pay for another war?”).
If Rmoney suddenly embraced the idea of giving out free guns to the populace, you would hear what a bad idea this was from the ranks of the Freeperati, with much discussion on the fact that Rmoney wants their children to be killed in accidental shootings, which would go up.
