Carly keeps saying she knows Putin saying something like she's sat across the negotiating table from him. Of course it was only in her dreams. Maybe she was dreaming she was Hillary who's actually done it. She was speaking at a conference around 2000 that Putin attended. She briefly met him. Again her facts are exaggerated. After the conference she only had great things to publicly say about him. And now she's saying she could go to war with him over Syria. Funny, with this Obama guy I feel 1000 times safer.
Every time she opens here mouth its either a lie or neocon bullshit. She messed up 2 great American companies. Can't be talking about that now.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel… Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio escalated his rhetoric against Vladimir Putin on Friday, vowing if elected to the White House to “isolate Russia diplomatically” and impose a series of new sanctions on Moscow. The Florida senator has taken an aggressive tact against Russia while campaigning to become the next US commander-in-chief. Capping off a two-day swing through Iowa, Rubio used a national security forum to detail what foreign policy toward Russia would look like under his administration. Related: Jeb Bush locked in battle for mainstream support – and money – with Marco Rubio “As soon as I take office, I will move quickly to increase pressure on Moscow,” Rubio said. “Under my administration, there will be no pleadings for meetings with Vladimir Putin. He will be treated for what he is – a gangster and a thug.” The senator said he would propose new sanctions on Russian officials and entities, including visa bans and asset freezes against senior leadership. He also pledged to work with US allies in Europe to exclude Russia from SWIFT, the international banking system that allows for the exchange of money across countries. “When I’m president, America will speak clearly about Vladimir Putin. He and his cronies will be the target of US financial pressure,” Rubio said. The Republican contender’s speech was made against the backdrop of Russian airstrikes in Syria against opponents of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. “We are barreling toward a second cold war,” Rubio warned, while dubbing Putin’s moves a “power play” in the region. Rubio sounded similar alarms in last month’s Republican presidential debate, in which his performance was praised and prompted a boost for his campaign. The senator also used the perch of the debate stage to refer to Putin as a “gangster,” a characterization he repeats often in media appearances and while campaigning in early voting states. The fiery criticisms even attracted a response from Putin on CBS television’s 60 Minutes program last week, who when asked about Rubio’s characterization of him responded: “How can I be a gangster if I worked for the KGB? Come on. That does not correspond to reality.” Rubio mocked Putin’s comeback in several campaign stops this week, from an event at a retirement community in his home state of Florida to his appearances in Iowa. Related: Oregon shooting: Jeb Bush says 'stuff happens' as left calls for gun control Reading the quote aloud on Friday, Rubio simply said, “Well Mr Putin, I rest my case.” Barack Obama also took a hard line against Putin on Friday, following his first meeting with the Russian president in nearly a year at the UN general assembly earlier this week. Putin’s refusal to distinguish between moderate Sunni opposition to Assad and the Islamic State was “a recipe for disaster”, the president said. “We are not going to cooperate with a Russian campaign to simply try to destroy anybody who is disgusted and fed up with Mr Assad’s behavior,” Obama said. He rejected, however, the notion Putin was operating in Syria from a position of strength. “Mr Putin had to go into Syria not out of strength but out of weakness, because his client, Mr Assad, was crumbling,” Obama said. Drawing a sharp contrast to the Obama administration’s foreign policy has been a central component of Rubio’s pitch, as he seeks to cast himself as the most well versed Republican candidate on international affairs. Democrats have hit back on Rubio’s approach, criticizing the senator in press releases for holding an “outdated, cold war-era view of the world”. But polling has shown national security ranks as a top issue among the Republican primary electorate. And Rubio’s efforts to highlight his grasp of foreign policy in a crowded Republican field appears to be paying at least some dividends among voters. “I was watching TV and they were showing how he predicted word for word almost that Russia was going to get into Syria and start airstrikes,” said Gary T, a voter who attended an event Rubio held on Thursday in Cedar Falls. “I was very impressed … that pretty much decided it for me.” Wendy Jorgensen, another resident of Cedar Falls, said Rubio is among her top three choices. Naming retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina as her other favored candidates, she noted the senator had potentially pushed over over the edge during his visit. “He just seems to really have a command of the issues,” Jorgensen said. “And for foreign policy, he really is better than the others.”
Saw my first "Bernie for President" sign on a lawn while driving to work yesterday. My first impression was that they could've and should've done a better design job as it was somewhat 'blah' with "Bernie" in white against a skyblue background with "For President" in small red lettering underneath. The novelty of the sign itself was cool but again it could've used a back-to-the-drawing-board update. Maybe trailer park Hillary could teach IronFace Fiorino how to beat the snot out of the lil' KGB punk..... : ) http://nypost.com/2015/10/04/hillary-has-long-history-of-beating-up-bill-behind-closed-doors-book/ Temper...temper there girl.......me no want that wagging-turned-itchy-finger on "the button" at 3:00 a.m. ....
Joe, isn't this a little low even for you. I mean, Roger Stone. I thought you didn't like one sided hatchet jobs. Unless, of course, it's coming from the right wing media.
Running against Putin and Russia is going to be a losing campaign in the making. Run with Jobs, Jobs, Jobs as your mantra. The economy is in trouble, with lots of kids raised in middle-class families looking at total dead end jobs as their lot in life. They and their parents will vote for a Jobs Crusade if it's laid out. Cut Taxes won't do it unless the person doing it lays out an ironclad plan as to how that will lead to jobs. Trickle Down will get laughed off the stage.
There's several candidates on both sides of the aisle who might be able to get something done but Bernie isn't one of them. Unless he was willing to back off from his agenda. I don't think he's running with the intention of winning, he is, I think just trying to mainstream his extreme leftist POV. How could he possibly get anywhere with trillion dollar initiatives.
I would hope trickle down will get laughed off the stage bradway but there are a lot of idiots out there so I doubt it
A good job for the idiots kids these days is Walmart. A bad job is McDonalds. Lots of them have no job available. That kind of stuff adds up.
Keep your sense of humor.........check that, get a sense of humor. You treat politicians like rock stars, I treat 'em like politicians, regardless of whether they're 'port' or 'starboard' <--that separates us.
The next time I see you post anything mocking the right will be the first. This new book coming out about Hillary beating up poor little Bill is so stupid it isn't even funny. I mean even if you hate her, come on.
As far as I have heard all of the economic plans put out so far by the GOP candidates STILL are in line with a trickle down theory. Yes, that is depressing. But not surprising given the role of money in politics today.
Actually it didn't really surprise me that much when Kevin McCarthy decided not to run for Speaker. Because the same people who opposed Boehner were against him, too. Wasn't he basically Boehner's right hand man. Not sure the Tea Party Caucus can agree on anyone who won't completely be on board with them on every issue. They are numerically a small percentage of Congress (about 50 members at tops) but behind them are deep pockets and the Tea Party movement nationally i.e. the Koch Brothers, etc. So to me the only way moderate Repubs can get legislation passed is to do what Boehner did at times: work around them. But do it more often so there can be some compromise with the Dems. They have to basically tell these guys to go fuck themselves. Some of the GOP has like Peter King.
I reserve the right to mock the right as surely as I have Tom DeLay, Palin (whom I would've banged 8 yrs. ago in a heartbeat), Jim Nicholson, Larry Craig, Santorum, etc., the list goes on and on, so you can start pumping the brakes Mr. Joined TGG in 2013. The thought of Hillary going full Roseanne Barr on Bill Berlusconi is pretty fucking funny if you ask me and it has nothing to do with left/right, it has to do with the prospect of a presidency sold as "Camelot 2.0" (JFK-Jackie II) turning out instead to be a 'white trashy' novelette entitled The Philanderer & the Shrew. And btw, you're referring to that political dirt-gathering hack Roger Stone. I in turn am referring to Ronald Kessler, a former journalist with the (not-so-right-wing) Washington Post for 15 years and the author of 20 non-fiction books about the U.S. Secret Service, F.B.I., and C.I.A., seven of which have appeared on the New York Times Best Seller List. how it's sold: how it's told:
Any candidate who claims he will cut taxes without showing how he will replace that revenue is full of shit. I guess that means that every candidate in the last fifty years is full of shit; The horror is we have people who vote who believe them.
