    Ohio Republican George Voinovich to Retire – No Loss Here

    Voinovich Retirement

    Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, is seen in Lewis Center, Ohio. Voinovich is telling associates he intends to retire rather than run again in 2010, according to officials inside the party

    Flap has no use for the “RETIRING” George Voinovich and so it is no great loss to the Republican Party for him to retire.

    Ohio Republican George Voinovich is expected to announce Monday that he won’t seek reelection to the Senate in 2010.

    A two-term senator, former governor and Cleveland mayor, Voinovich has been a political fixture in his state for decades. But recent press reports from his home state have indicated the 72-year-old lawmaker is considering retirement, and a person close to him told Politico that the announcement will come Monday.

    Flap remembers the harsh treatment former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton received from Voinovich during his confirmation hearings.

    Rumor is that either Republican Budget Director Rob Portman or former Congressman John Kasich will make a run for the office. Both would make great Senators, unlike Voinovich.

    Good bye and good luck, Senator.

    Don’t let the door hit you on the ass as you leave.

    John Bolton ESCAPES Arrest as Iraq War Criminal

    John Bolton and George Monbiot

    George Monbiot blocked by security guards

    No citizen’s arrest of John Bolton, the former United States Ambassador to the United Nations this evening. The obviously muddleheaded George Moonbat Monbiot was blocked by security guards from serving upon Bolton the “charge sheet.”

    The attention seeking Monbiot achieved what he sought out to do: Prove that he is indeed a moron.

    George Monbiot to ARREST John Bolton as Iraq War Criminal?

    George Monbiot

    George Monbiot

    Journalist George Monbiot is taking the law into his own hands by promisng to arrest former United States ambassador to the United Nations as an Iraq War criminal.

    George Monbiot, the journalist and activist, is planning the action because he believes Mr Bolton is a “war criminal”.

    He said he was surprised that Mr Bolton would be allowed to “swim through the politest of polite soirees – which is of course Hay.”

    Mr Bolton, who was the American ambassador to the UN from August 2005 to January 2006, is due to talk at the Hay-on-Wye literary festival at 6.30pm on international relations.

    Now, this should be good. The legal authorities in the United Kingdom say Monbiot’s actions are unlawful.

    Flap wonders what Bolton will do?

    Will he allow Monbiot take him into custody and then file a civil suit for assault and unlawful detainment? Or will Bolton simply resist the Moonbat Monbiot and punch him in the nose?

    Flap bets the police will be there and escort Monbiot off of the premises.

    Shame….would love to see Bolton punch his way out of the flap.

    Barack Obama Watch: The Foreign Policy Debate

    Glenn McCoy on Barack Obama

    Senator John McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee for President, kept up the heat today on Barack Obama on which topic?

    Why, foreign policy.

    Using a Cuban folklorico band as a warm-up act, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) highlighted his opposition to the Cuban government this morning and questioned Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) willingness to talk to its current president, Raul Castro.

    Vowing, “as president, I will not passively await the day when the Cuban people enjoy the blessings of freedom and democracy,” McCain said he would keep the U.S. embargo in place until the regime’s leaders agreed “to release all political prisoners unconditionally, to legalize all political parties, labor unions, and free media, and to schedule internationally monitored elections…. Make no mistake Cuba is destined to be free. Cuba is destined to be free.”

    The presumptive GOP nominee also sought to differentiate his Cuba policy as much as possible from Obama’s, quoting an answer Obama gave in a questionnaire a few years ago when he backed lifting the embargo. At the time, Obama wrote, “I believe that normalization of relations with Cuba would help the oppressed and poverty-stricken Cuban people while setting the stage for a more democratic government once Castro inevitably leaves the scene.” Noting wryly that his opponent’s approach represented “an interesting perspective on Cuba,” McCain drew chuckles from the crowd.

    While Obama now says he wants to ease the embargo instead of lifting it altogether, McCain used his speech as an opportunity to blast Obama’s vow to meet Raul Castro and other hostile foreign leaders without conditions: simply mentioning the Democrat’s position inspired boos from several members of the audience.

    “These steps would send the worst possible signal to Cuba’s dictators — there is no need to undertake fundamental reforms, they can simply wait for a unilateral change in US policy,” McCain said. “I believe we should give hope to the Cuban people, not to the Castro regime. My administration will press the Cuban government. The embargo must stay in place until these basic elements of democratic society are met.”

    McCain WILL enjoy the support of the Cuban community and capture Florida as a red state in the fall. He currently leads in the polling against Obama.

    Notice how McCain is pounding Obama on McCain’s strength – foreign policy. John Bolton outlined the initiation of debate yesterday in his piece in the Wall Street Journal.

    President Bush’s speech to Israel’s Knesset, where he equated “negotiat[ing] with the terrorists and radicals” to “the false comfort of appeasement,” drew harsh criticism from Barack Obama and other Democratic leaders. They apparently thought the president was talking about them, and perhaps he was.

    Wittingly or not, the president may well have created a defining moment in the 2008 campaign. And Mr. Obama stepped right into the vortex by saying he was willing to debate John McCain on national security “any time, any place.” Mr. McCain should accept that challenge today.

    Apparently, McCain has accepted the challenge.

    Look for Team McCain to pound Obama on his inexperience and naive approach (appeasement) to international affairs.

    Advantage McCain.
