What he did was in a sense side himself and the other 46 dingleberries with the hardliners in Iran that don't want a deal either, and want war. Cotton is a war mongering fuck just like Yahu. Shouldn't be a surprise coming from Bill Kristol's boy.
I'm not siding with anyone. Further, this isn't a republican issue. BOTH sides have done this. Who gives a shit if it was an open letter or a face-to-face conversation. To suggest these types of things have never happened is simply naive.
When in history has a gang of senators or gaggle of you will, wrote a fucking cowardly letter to an enemy leader trying to undermine peace talks?
A "gang"? Lol. What are their "colors"? If they are the enemy, then why exactly are we engaging in diplomatic relations that rely on trust and compliance? They aren't peace talks. These are very nuclear specific targets. They have over 19,000 centrifuges and want to increase that by a ten factor. We want them to have no more than a few thousand! That is not about peace.
You have used the term "carry on" several times. That is what I'm talking about. Again, that is up for debate and exactly why Democrats are saying nothing about it. Then the term "carry on" should forthwith be stricken. Wait, you just said ANY CORRESPONDENCE. As you like to say, don't speak for me. Guarantee you that I cared more than Jesse did. He and Farrakhan went out of a self-serving "phuck you" to Reagan trip, not to mention that Goodman is black. Had it been a white pilot, Jesse is not involved. Of course. It has nothing to do with the Logan Act or this conversation. He interfered in government business and not at the behest of the US government. "Mr. Jackson's arrival concluded a day in which he had visited Managua, Nicaragua, and called on United States-supported Nicaraguan insurgents to lay down their arms and accept an amnesty. At the same time, he praised Nicaragua's Sandinista leaders for putting the country, he said, ''back on the road to democracy, peace and reconciliation...."he said he undertook his ''peace mission'' to prevent a widening war in the Western Hemisphere. ''We made a moral offensive in the summer to stop a military offensive in the fall.'' Who the hell is "we"? And, "Mr. Jackson said he would like to meet with President Reagan and Secretary of State George P. Shultz to discuss the results of his talks with President Castro. ''There are some rather definite things we must share with them from the meeting with Fidel Castro". Hilarious. Bush wanted to isolate Assad. He asked Pelosi not to go. She went. She sat down and had "relations" with Assad and discussed peace between Israel and Syria. Whether or not a State Department official was with her means nothing. Neither. It's obviously a poorly written and misunderstood piece of legislation. There have been several attempts to have it amended or revoked. If it is nothing more than a political verbal barb that both sides use when it's handy, then it IS nothing.
You've been out of the south too long and in Los Angeles too long. I could say a gang of crackers are in my cabinet. Doesn't mean I think the crackers are throwing signs in the cabinets and pulling salt-by shootings. I think the men in power in Iran are enemies, which is who that letter was written to, not the people of Iran.
Back up your own statement that I challenged in post 257. I offered my evidence in post 253 when I answered your challenge. You don't know how to debate and your attention span is short.
Uhh, that is the term used in the Logan Act. I cited it verbatim. That will happen when the Logan Act is stricken The Logan Act says "any correspondence". You said, "I don't care if he got a pilot released". I care very much about getting US prisoners released, no matter what color they are. Speculation. With racial overtones, sadly. Again, no mention that Reagan did the same thing, only he broke the law doing it. Don't make me defend Jesse Jackson. I have to bathe now. Nonsense. I've already drawn the parallels and shown the hypocrisy. You are the one who brought up Nicaragua, you know. You left yourself open to this. More Nicaragua. You can bring it up, but I can't? This is dishonest of you. I ask you once again, what treaty, agreement, or ongoing negotiation did Jackson derail? The US had no relations with the Nicaraguan government. The Logan Act does not prohibit citizens from annoying the President. And Congress had forbidden the Government to support the Nicaraguan rebels. People went to jail over it. It was not Jackson that interfered with US policy, it was Olliver North and the president who sent him there. I ask you once again, what treaty, agreement, or ongoing negotiation did Pelosi derail? The US had no relations with the Syrian government. Why do you keep ignoring that three Republican Senators did the same thing? Well, until it is amended or revoked, it is law, whether you like it or not.
