Looks Like Partisanship DOESN"T Stop At The Water's Edge, for GOP

A hoary saw of American political mythology is that "partisanship ends at the water's edge," meaning that, whatever their ideological/political differences on domestic policies, the two corporate capitalist parties present a united front to the rest of the world. That is, they are united as U.S. Imperialists.

Increasingly, this "loyal opposition" agreement is a one-way street. The Democrats back GOP Presidents imperial adventures, but the GOP might as well be traitors in their automatic opposition to whatever any Democratic President does. (The most recent example of Dems supporting the GOP was when they fell all over themselves in a panic to back Bush the Younger's unprovoked aggression against Iraq- but don't get me wrong, Saddam Hussein was vicious scum and it's good that he and his sons are finally dead and his horrendously evil regime is gone- a regime the U.S. fully backed,even blaming the gassing of the Iraqi Kurds on IRAN in a DIA report, until he invaded Kuwait. Then suddenly he became the Devil.)

The latest example is the GOP teaming up with extreme reactionary Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu and Israel's fifth column in the U.S., led by AIPAC, to undermine President Obama. See the article at
