I have to ask: does it even matter if they vote against the bombing, because they hate Obama for his race? If the end result is good, who cares about the motivation? The opposite is, of course, also true.
No, of course it doesn't matter. Not in the least. Still, it is an amusing observation. Or at least I would like to think so.
Now I understand what is meant by «gridlock» – thanks, Ted ! US politics would be diverting, were they not fraught with such danger for the survival of the species….
Something like this probably is happening right now!
I think the (exciting) possibility of the induction of "the rapture" (via WWIII), which qualifies as hatred of life itself, will presumably be discussed at some point before the vote count is made.
It really is a little bizarre to watch the GOP struggle between hating Obama and liking many of his policies. And then on the other hand, Cap & Trade and Obamacare are Republican ideas. It can't be said enough.
