They must be smoking something or drinking something. We must mobilize the Republican leadership to not back Obama’s choice of the SNC but the democratic choice of the SDC. Ted Belman

Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham had warm words for the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s dominant Islamist party with a radical and hateful past, during a recent visit to the Middle East. The comments mark a disturbing growth in relations between some senior Republicans and Islamists, Andrew McCarthy writes in the National Review Online.
“I was very apprehensive when I heard the election results,” Sen. Graham, R-S.C., said about the Brotherhood’s victory in recent Egyptian elections. “But after visiting and talking to the Muslim Brotherhood, I am hopeful that they will be able to deliver not only for the Egyptian people, but that we can have a relationship with Egypt, with the Muslim Brotherhood as a strong political voice.”
As McCarthy notes, this new relationship seems out of touch with reality and even Graham’s previous apprehension about the group. The Brotherhood ideology hasn’t changed since the revolution, and its Palestinian branch is the proscribed terrorist organization Hamas. The group even responded harshly to positive overtures by McCain about the arrest of American democratic activists. “Would America allow any foreign agenda or country to interfere in its affairs like this?” asked spokesman, Mahmoud Ghuzlan. “Then why should America expect Egypt to accept this kind of interference without an investigation or a trial?”
McCain, R-Ariz., also called for donations of weapons to Islamist Syrian rebels, whom McCarthy notes have connections to both the local Muslim Brotherhood branch and al-Qaida. “There are ways to get assistance ranging from medical assistance to technical assistance, such as GPS and other things we could provide,” Senator McCain said in support of the Syrian rebels. “There are ways to get weapons into Syria. It is time we gave them the wherewithal to fight back and stop the slaughter.”
McCarthy notes that the moves show McCain and Graham as wishy-washy on Islamism and the Brotherhood, one of the greatest threats to American democracy. “We did not get the McCain presidency, but we have gotten the McCain foreign policy where truckling to Islamists is concerned. When it comes to the Muslim Brotherhood, it turns out that mavericks and community organizers are on the same page.”
No politician-Dem. or Rep.- or any Govt. official at any level has
any depth of understanding or knowledge of THE TRUE NATURE of Islam in
general and THE TERRORIST GROUP- THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD- In particular.
McCain and Graham are but two examples. But, more importantly the American
voter doesn’t either, And, that’s the problem. Only Obama is aware and understands
and he’s using our blatant ignorance as his primary weapon before we WAKE UP.
The voters have nine months to get THEIR HEAD ON STRAIGHT.
McCain MAY have once served his country, but he does not deserve to be re-elected anymore. Fact is, those who do vote for him in Arizona are RINOs and Democrats who love the guy for his stupidity, and he does get re-elected solely on the money of his brewery bimbo estranged wife and fat, dumb daughter – you know, the two who had tape across their mouths in solidarity with Gay Marriage; not to mention his fellow rich RINOs in the Biltmore and Scottsdale districts. To be fair he does have nice words to say about Israel, but remember, his advisers in the last election included a well-known lover of Jews – NOT – James (F the Jews) Baker. And McBozo is more inclined to go to the Baker-Scowcroft-Hagel-Lugar wing of the party than the Al Haig (God Bless Him) wing. Remember, he was thrilled when Ovomit named fellow RINOs (and Israel haters from the Scowcroft wing) Bobby Gates and Jimmy Jones to the positions of Defense Secretary and National Security Adviser, saying he would have made the same choices himself!
As for Graham, he had one bright, shining moment when he pushed for the impeachment of faux Elvis Clinton, but has been nothing but a Democrat for all intent and purposes ever since. The moment he’s voted out of office in South Carolina, the better.
I owed it to McCain to vote for him, as a veteran. Thank God, that’s over with! Never again.
