Maybe some consistency...and just some thoughts.
Okay to have a good relationship with China but not South America...
Pro-choice but no death penalty...
Can nation build Afghanistan but not Iraq...
Isolate North Korea and Iran completely but talk with Russia and China....
Protect Georgia from the big bad Russia because Russia is working with two countries that want to be allies with Russia, one of which (South Ossetia) Georgia chose to isolate and turn a blind eye to...
Can Republican's and/or Democrat's decide which Iran they object to? Do they object to the country that helps the U.S. when it is in their interest or the Iran that enjoys undermining everything it can and just in general enjoys being a terrorist goverment? How about we acknowledge they do both and go from there?
Has either side come to grips that President Obama's foreign policy is simply President Bush Jr.'s second term just with added out reach to South America and Iran? (CIA policy not part of this question)
Can the media acknowledge the tea parties weren't simply right wing extremists (saw plenty of anti-free trade signs, etc...) and can FOX News acknowledge there was PLENTY of extreme and contemptible things done and said at the tea parties? Speaking of which, can the right wing part of the media stop comparing President Obama to Hitler?
And if Hitler was a socialist, how did that turn Nazi skin-heads in the U.S. into right-wing extremeists? More importantly, can't we just call them racist bigots and not try to align them one way or the other politically?
Can people in the left wing media stop blaming pro-gun owners for shootings all over this country? Clearly our gun laws aren't as effective as they need to be but the amount of guns sold in the U.S. compared to the amount of school shootings, etc, the margin isn't even close.
Have we gotten past acting as if the Republican party is over? President Obama and his team aren't President Jefferson and James Madison and the Republican's, although very close to the original Federalist party in terms of policy, aren't the Federalists of the 1800's.
Will Sean Hannity ever come to grips with being wrong about Reagon? Mr. Hannity talks about getting back to the Reagon fiscal conservative roots. I'd like to see Mr. Hannity point to a year when President Reagon didn't deficit spend and grow our national debt. In fact, Reagon set a new record for national debt each of his first five years as President. One has to wonder how badly it gets under those that somehow believe Republican's are fiscal conservatives when they know the facts show President Carter and President Clinton as actual fiscal conservatives by comparison. Suppose lucky for them President Obama isn't following there lead. In case someone would like to see the numbers: here they are.

Lol...someone had to say it I guess
True Reagan ran deficits, but he had to deal with a democrat congress that promised spending cuts and always failed to deliver them.
Do you sign a budget that gets you most of what you want or do you veto and get nothing.
Also Reagan tried shutting down the government until he got the tax cuts and got his nose bloodied by the dems and media for hurting the government workers. So he took what he could get from congress.
