Reps. Frank Guinta, Charlie Bass on Libya

by: Dean Barker

Mon Aug 22, 2011 at 05:46:20 AM EDT
(Remember when partisan politics stopped at the water's edge? - promoted by William Tucker)

Rep. Charles Bass, on Libya, June 3rd:
there is no apparent end in sight to our involvement there.
Rep. Frank Guinta on Libya, June 3rd:
Withdrawing U.S. troops from this operation is the right step
Rep. Charles Bass on Libya, June 12th:
I'm willing to make Libya a European problem, not a U.S. problem.
Rep. Frank Guinta on President Obama and Libya, March 28th:
"His administration clearly has not been up to the challenge of this  crisis," Guinta said. "I hope he rises to it very quickly."

Adding: this isn't some exegesis on the authority of the war powers act.  It's a gentle reminder that the primary goal of the party headed by Rush Limbaugh and Fox News is to defeat democratic presidents, no matter what the issue. It's always party first, country... some place after that.

Heck, Charlie's been at this game so long now you can go back to the same nonsense he trotted out for Clinton during Kosovo a millenium ago.

Superficial optics. (0.00 / 0)
no apparent end in sight to our involvement there.

Good example of their limitations.

Rep. Bass voted for the Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002. (0.00 / 0)
His argument is invalid.

In Greenland Guinta said we withdraw from Libya (0.00 / 0)

He made a general statement about withdrawal. An audience member sitting near me asked from where?

Mr. Guinta told him Libya

I was three feet from him and heard him clear as a bell.

I'm surprised (0.00 / 0)
He usually has his sound bites and talking points perfectly memorized.  I hope he is isn't getting rattled.  Anyone heard about any other town halls or is he keeping a really low profile and only talking to the Tea Party for the rest of the recess.
