Republicans usually get behind Democrats in early voting; but according to Don Huffines we are way behind. This is not a good sign and has me worried that Paxton could actually lose. Hope I am wrong as I cannot imagine Texas going for Talarico.
I lay all of this angst and election worry at the feet of the Bush Family and Karl Rove who continue to be a thorn in President Trump's side as they actually push for Talarico over Paxton. Ditto with John Cornyn who I always knew was not trustworthy. Their despicable conduct could actually make us lose this senate race.
Lastly I have little faith in the electorate. Most are self serving and greedy and refuse to understand that the pieces are in place for the economy to roar once this Iran problem is taken care of. But so many are unwilling to show the patience to sacrifice temporary higher gas prices and mild inflation for the greater good later on. It's gimme gimme now! Six months from now these idiots will regret their votes as they see they have screwed themselves. Sadly too late for the rest of us.
How old are you?
Almost 80 and proud of it.
I was just curious bcs I havent met any young people who support this war as you do.
Just don't want Iran to have nukes that they would use against Israel and us if they could deliver them this far. Don't need another N. Korea. And worse they would use them many believe. The world is a dangerous place in case you had not noticed.
Pakistan has nukes and they arent any different than Iran.
Actually they are much different than Iran
How so?
We have relations with Pakistan; in fact President Trump's relations with both India and Pakistan was instrumental in preventing a hot war between the two a year ago or so. Plus we did not stop North Korea before they attained the nukes. On the other hand Trump bombed the Iran nuclear facilities and has said repeatedly that Iran will not be allowed to have nukes. As to Pakistan, while I do not think they can be trusted totally, we do have diplomatic relations with them which is certainly better than our situation with Iran.
Obama made had an agreement with them.
Does that not constitute diplomatic relations?
It doesn't. But you already knew that. The US embassy in Tehran was seized on November 4, 1979, during the Iran hostage crisis, and the United States officially severed diplomatic relations on April 7, 1980.
The US has had an embassy in Pakistan since 1947.
