7. Rushpublicans Have Lost Foreign Policy...

Nov 2012

For decades it was assumed rushpublicans were "stronger on defense" and better at foreign policy. It's a big lie...as is much of the mythology the denizens of Bullshit Mountain spew...but it was accepted among the beltway stenographers and generally used to pummel Democrats in elections. That changed the moment President Obama took down bin Laden and Gadafi was ousted. All of a sudden President Obama and Democrats look strong on defense and this is what the rushpublicans are trying to diminish. The hope was some kind of scandal would arise during the campaign and when that faltered, now it's for "pride"...getting some kind of retribution for the election loss and try to keep President Obama from pushing forward with a second term agenda by bogging him down with investigation and manufactured "scandals"...
