I really don't think that has much bearing on it though. I think the more important thing is the question of whether or not these folks can actually act like adults. It's hard to be part of the "party of values" and then turn around and strip down in front of another congressman's daughter.

As long as I don't have to pay for it like those others - I don't care. GSA was it?

the timing of this "fact finding" junket (including wives and children) last August, just five months after those freshman were sworn into office on the TP platform, and right at the time when we were losing our credit rating because of their refusal to raise the debt ceiling and the republican obstructionism.

This is not new news. Timing of press release is suspect.

Of course. Everything the Obama campaign does is suspect. - nm

Talk about your failed record bozo

Just like the timing of the release of the rest of the - stimulus funds. (sm)

This is the extent of the transparency we were supposed to get. We can see right through him. LOL

Religious and cultural cluelessness of this magnitude, - and astonishing absence of judgment

on this gigantic scale is no distraction. These behaviors have a direct bearing on voter's ability to gage a party's capacity or lack thereof to effectively handle foreign policy diplomacy.

Don't you get it? The GOP just keeps right on producing campaign gaffe after campaign gaffe, the plurality as such being what governs the national dialog. The political world is in full campaign mode on both sides, so the "suspect" timing of the press release means squat.

As a democrat, an old lady at that, I have been....sm - granny

skinny dipping many times in my life and think that too much is being made of this republican representative shedding his clothes and jumping into the Sea of Galilee after having one too many glasses of wine. It probably was not his first time skinny dipping and he probably did not realize the impact of dropping his drawers would have. Why is innocent nudity so taboo?

I Finally Fit In My Skinny Jeans - WOOHOOOct 15, 2011
Well at least they are skinny jeans to me :-)  I have been losing weight (could be something to do with my monikers name LOL) and can't tell you how excited I am.  4 years ago I was up to 200 pounds.  I stepped on a scale and I finally hit in the 150s (159.8) actually.  Gotta love that .2 pounds that brought me into the 150s which is a huge high for me.  I never thought I'd see the 150s again.  I think 1998 is when I weighed this much.  I've been ...

Has Anyone Quit Drinking Soda Completely?Jan 08, 2015

Mr. Bean Goes To Israel...smJul 29, 2012
Thus far, besides the fact that Romney has basically just thrown down the gauntlet to Iran (war..again..anyone?) and about half of the countries in the middle east is one statement in particular he made. In his speech he was talking about Egypt's new leadership and in doing so said, "Hopefully, this new government understands that one true measure of democracy is how those elected by the majority respect the rights of those in the minority." No doubt the republican party thinks they are a ...

In a very sad way this reminds me of the older brother smacking the younger brother for the younger touching him first. (TFC) Gaza, Occupied Territories — After weeks of provocation, one of the Palestinian resistance groups launched a solitary rocket into Israeli territory. The attack injured no one. Israel responded by launching a series of attacks from American-made F-16 fighters on military and civilian targets in Gaza. The Israeli Defense Force has stated that it will hold Hamas r ...

Soros Funds Progressive War On Israel. The Billionaire'sAug 18, 2016
The recent hack of George Soros’ “charitable” giving revealed nothing new. The man who told journalist Steve Kroft in a televised interview that roaming the streets of Budapest with his faux godfather to confiscate the property of his fellow Jews for the Nazis was the most exhilarating time of his life has long had a problem with both his Jewish roots and the creation of a Jewish state. Most revealing in the interview was Soros’ comment that he felt no guilt about what he had done dur ...

Democrats Losing Moral Clarity On Israel...Jul 21, 2014
found interesting. They explain a lot about the generally negative view that American liberals have of Israel.... "But on the left, the Israeli-Arab dispute itself has been redefined.

That moral clarity has eroded, partly because of facts on the ground over years of conflict — but ultimately throug ...

Two-state Solution Has Been Offered By Israel Several TimesJan 01, 2017
Jordan and Israel were carved out of Transjordan in 1948. Palestine never existed as a state nor was it a part of the Middle East script. At one time during Bill Clinton's presidency, Arafat walked out when Israel offered a solution. They don't want to live in peace. They want to eradicate Jews. This does not include all Arabs living in peace with the Jews in Israel. The press never differentiates this. The underlying problem is that a two-state solution creating a national ...

Israel Didn't Just Spit In Joe Biden's Face Last WeekMar 16, 2010
Vice President Joe Biden's visit to Israel last week was rightly hailed as a catastrophe—but not because of settlements. After a tense year in which Washington had failed to stop Prime Minister Benyamin "Bibi" Netanyahu from settling more occupied land, Biden had come to shore up the relationship. Instead, officials in Netanyahu's government caught both men off guard by announcing plans to build more in contested East Jerusalem. True, that was a snafu. But the real disaster was w ...
