I just said to someone in a pm.......blind loyalty to a man (Obama) I have a real problem with....blind loyalty to a philosophy (Liberalism) I can respect and find ground to discuss.
Point is....this is not about Obama, or Democrats or Republicans or any thing even close yet folks are still crying that game.
I was torn...I posted how I would support the President, then I did some reading on WHO we would help...on how limited this thing was, and now the politics being played.
That did it for me.no politics when it comes to foreign affairs....that is simply not acceptable in anyway to me. I am confused about what our strategy is...what do we want to accomplish and how....I am confused about the Presidents remarks on the red line, and his constant referring to congress recently when he ignored them up to last weekend. I am confused about who makes up the groups we would be helping with any kind of bombing.
All of that says NO to the bombing..not politically, just simply pragmatic. I will listen closely to the President on Tuesday as I have for the last week or so, but cannot imagine what he will tell me that he hasnt told me yet, and frankly if he did tell me something new, I would ask why he didnt say that before.
If our chambers vote on how they feel in their hearts, without any consideration to fall out or political consideration I respect all of them. If anyone is playing politics of any kind, lets look at getting rid of them.
