Philip Klein is absolutely right when he says the GOP caved on START.
What is particularly egregious about their capitulation is that it came right after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the treaty “cannot be reopened, becoming the subject of new negotiations.”
Both the Obama Administration and Senate Republicans are sending the message that U.S. national security policy is now determined in Moscow.
Knowing there would be a greater GOP presence in the Senate beginning next month why did Senate Republicans let this come to the floor in the first place? But alas, the Senate is due to pass the START Treaty later today.
Let it be said that no treaty is better than a bad treaty.

How many RINOS are there? seems like every Repub we back to get us out just digs us in deeper! Is there a chemical being added to the water in DC? Just how does Big Brother's mind control take over these guys in only a few weeks?

Russia may ne a kleptocracy and mafiyocracy, but it is still a nation that has to protect itself in a very nationalistic world. Saying "who cares what the Russians think" doesn't do anything except make you feel tough.
Or try saying "I don't care what the Chinese think" and see what happens-- nothing whatsoever.

The GOP is having their spines replaced with linguine early this year. Just keep your eyes on the prize. Keep electing true conservatives year in, year out. Pull a double secret Alinsky on them.

The neoconservatives seem to care a lot about the START treaty but were out to sea on the homosexualization of the military. I don't see how the START treaty is of any importance for social conservatives. Russia is less an enemy of America than is the left in this country. The greatest enemy of America is from within, both within the country at large and in the Republican Party.

This is just the continuing of the disarming of the United States on the installment plan which has been in the works for years. i.e. 7277.
Roger Fortier | 12.22.10 @ 3:34PM
Derek, you nailed it. Our nation will fall from within long before a foreign adversary drinks, by force, from the Ohio, to paraphrase Lincoln.

Two things we know:
1. Putin will do whatever he thinks is in the best interest of Russia.
2. Obama does not care what is in the best of America.
I would say that those Republicans who voted for this are not interested in what is in the best interest of the US along with Obama and need to be voted out of office.
Alan Brooks| 12.22.10 @ 2:01PM
You lose on START and on DADT.
So predictable.
Douglas Holbert| 12.22.10 @ 2:19PM
OH, wise one. What is your next prediction ?
Alan Brooks| 12.22.10 @ 2:40PM
I see in my crystal ball that another Bush-type is elected in 2016, and he wastes four or eight years of OUR time-- not his.
Then, two years after leaving the presidency, he writes his worhless memoirs.
Alan Brooks| 12.22.10 @ 2:42PM
...junk, trash, a waste of paper, ink, and binding.
Simon Templar| 12.22.10 @ 3:14PM
No, jackwagon, you loose because if you plan on continuing to live in the US, enjoy its freedoms, and live off the blood and sweat of those who have protected it and prospered it, then you have moved it closer to its destruction.
Alan Brooks| 12.22.10 @ 3:53PM
YOU voted for Bush, you GOP bungler! You wasted eight years with that nothing-but-a-memoir-writing Bushclone, and you blame others? guilt is what is enraging you.
Alan Brooks| 12.22.10 @ 2:41PM

Don't worry the call has already gone out from the TN Tea Party to challenge both Sweetness Alexander and Bailout Bob Corker. Corker is up first then Sweetness. Stay tune, because this will not stand.
