I may be going out on a limb here, but after years of war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and now taking sides in a civil war in Libya, the GOP is acting more like a “me too” party instead of drawing a clear distinction between themselves and President Obama.
Where is it written in stone that the GOP always has to be for war, any war?
In the 1960s during Viet Nam, the GOP was the anti-war party.
I think getting sucked into the conflict in Libya, which by the way increases spending,, is a missed opportunity for the GOP to pivot and make a push to pulling all our troops from the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan and include that in the argument to cut spending.
Let president Obama defended continuing the war if he wants. And if he doesn’t and agrees, it cuts spending anyway, and the GOP would have taken the lead on the isuue.
The mood of the Middle East has shifted towards regime change which makes Afghanistan and Iraq redundant. The United States has spent enough blood and treasure in the Middle East and that’s exactly the argument the GOP needs to make now this time with a Democrat in the White House.
Stop being a bunch of “me too” and start drawing bold colors.
