Yeah - Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are going to Georgia. Political impotence incarnite.

[Added Graham: "It's important that members of the United States Congress show support and solidarity for these young democracies, particularly in light of the recent aggression against Georgia.]

It's also important that we sometimes mind our OWN BUSINESS and not going looking for place to play war in.

If he did his job as you claim, then he would challenge BOTH Democrats and Republicans. He doesn't challenge Obama, ever. He only excoriates McCain and praises Obama. Sorry, no candidate is 100% wrong as he claims McCain is and no candidate is 100% right as he claims Obama is. If he just once would take on the left, then he would give himself some credibility. But his show is a one-hour long hate-filled rant, it's not news.

Joe Biden is the head of the senate foreign relations committee so he has every right to be there.

This just in:

This cherry picking of "democracies" to support is getting a little tiresome and is not the basis for a sound foreign policy.

Nothing against Georgia per se, just a little tired of the overly simplistic "sweet lil' Georgia" references from John McCain. And did he mention they are a Christian nation?

And the media eats it up.

So if Russia decuides to stay in Georgia and invade Poland and the Ukraine just what the heck are you going to do about it except have your man John McCain hollering that he knows how to win wars while pounding on a podium?

How about some details Graham and Lieberman. Just how would you stop Russia from taking over Georgia, Poland and the Ukraine. Send troops? What troops? How would you found such a military operation. Would you ask the Iraqis to help us fight the Russians in georgia because iour military personnel is stretch so thin?

Why are you going to this area in the first place. Just what can you offer besides rhetoric if Russia decided to tell the two of you to stick it up your rears. Is that not what Russia is doing now?

You guys are all hot air with nothing behind your innuendos and threats. McCain is nothing but hot air trying to win an election. Putin could care less about the threats that McCain is making. He knows McCain will continue to bog us down in Iraq. He has you guys and McCain by the balls and you know it.

For your general information, and so that you don't make another uninformed "Libdem Obamanauts" comment, Joe Biden is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee - sort of SHOULD be there? Especially since foreign governments tend to trust him?

Did you happen to notice how he didn't make any statements such as, "We are all Georgians" as if he spoke for the nation?

I know the media does not like it when we say any thing derogatory about John McCain, because he is a War Hero and a former POW. He is also is honest and has great moral character, However this is something that should be talk about.

Some more news about McCain on the Rick Warren Show! Wow!
John McCain says he plans to consult with Democratic Rep. John Lewis when he's president. Someone should tell Lewis.
During Saturday's presidential forum at Rick Warren's California megachurch, John McCain was asked to name the "three wisest people" he would "rely heavily on" if elected president. He didn't cite close confidantes Phil Gramm and Randy Scheunemann, possibly because they have gotten McCain into trouble politically. Instead McCain chose Gen. David Petraeus; former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, one of his economic advisers; and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a leading figure in the civil rights movement

Rep. Lewis: McCain "Does Not Consult Me"

I just love the simple-minded leftists around here.

McCain has more honesty, integrity, patriotism, and love of country then Obama can only dream of having. Obama barely understands Chicago politcs, let alone international politics. The man is a first class neophyte (still got that dictionary handy libs?).

******************************************************
There is no "side to support" here. It's called international diplomacy. You see what both sides have to say and you try to broker a solution without the use of sabre rattling. There is no black and white solution here. One side is good and one side is evil does not work in situations like this. It's called nuance. It used to be a very important part of the political process before fear mongering and threats became commonplace for us when dealing with international conflict. I want it back. That is a major reason why I support Obama.

The difference is that Biden was asked personally by the President of Georgia while McCain himself dispatched Lieberman and Graham for purely political reasons.

Biden has already come back and proposed billions in aid and a firm stance on policy moving forward. Lieberman and Graham are there for a photo-op.

He was NOT dispatched by Obama, as were Lieberman & Graham. So there, your prophecy was correct - unfortunately, an invitation from a nation's leader doesn't constitute being "dispatched" by a presidential candidate.

Don't they have other work to do in the Senate? Unlike Lieberman and Graham, Sen. Joe Biden made a trip to Georgia at the request of the Georgian government. Big difference between Biden's invitational visit and Lieberman and Graham's visit as McCain's servile envoys.
