Keeping Obama from getting re-elected !
They could be working on saving this country and making it better. But no
they seek to destroy Obama.
I hope the people in this country wake up. When I see romney, I want to puke.....he thinks it is all about him. He is such a jerk, jerk, jerk. Who would want to be his veep.
You got it mom- They have officially pulled out all the stops to try to hurt President Obama, and now they are trying to do it by proxy. For Daryl Issa I have just two words: IRAN CONTRA.
THANKFUL MOM - If you're going to puke,at least puke on a republican that way you can tell them what you think of them in the process.
good one ted
They're trying to get his focus off the voter suppression. If he's worried about this, they think he'll be distracted and ease up on trying to keep them from eliminating voters. I hope it doesn't work.
Hurting the Prez. and Anyone who is Black !!!! Yes I Am Going to Pull the Race Card - It Is Sooo Obvious - Come-On !!!! Just What were the first words out of the Turtles Mouth !!!
Yes, David and MSNBC's fav.Mom. I agree with both of you. Darrell(Two more brothers missing), has at least two Gomer and Guber with him with other brojhers, he will continue with is digging deep in pile and find nothing but Old Buffalow chips! Drrell has accumulated millions and somebody need to check in to it! He probably is the richest congressman on the hill.How about investigating him and slick the Willard romney?Millions of, or Billions of Dollars were found in Sadam's palaces in Baghdad, and no one knows where they went? Darrly, how about investigating? And that water mellon Dan (Burton)is back at it again. It is afterall water mellon season!

@ Thankful post # 1,
that is correct,
But that sounds 2 much like right.
I challenge any Democrat to float the idea of or trying to get information from Alberto Gonzalez, under whom Fast and Furious started. You can bet the republicans will say no chance in h//l.
It Is NOT ONLY a witch-hunt - but yet Another Distraction From the Main Agenda That America Needs and Deserves and THEY Do NOT Care about what America Needs or Deserves But Rather It Is "Their Agenda" That Is First and Foremost to THEM - Screw America and Americans - Thats Just What THEY Think = Support the Wealthy and the Corporations - ONLY !!!!!

The Jed Report :
Rep. Darrell Issa caught with pants down yet again on Solyndra scandalmongering
Each and every time Holder had been before this 'witch hunt' he provided documents and then Issa the 'real crimminal' demanded more then lied and complained that Holder did not provide .
This has been going on for months it is a waste of taxpayer money and these 'idiots' keep bleating about democrates increasing spending and raising taxes what is this.
A blantantant and hipocritical waste of taxpayer money.
Absolutely correct- a waste of time taxpayer money and isn't worth the ink used to write the story.
Amen! If I were black, I'd be even more furious with the repukes if it were possible! This is the most Congress in our history!!!!! I thought Newt was bad but he looks good in comparison!
Hi Thankful Mom,
Tea Party Republicans are so ignorant that they may have actually committed an act of treason.
Contempt of Congress definition:
Holder provided congress with over 7,600 pages of documents and has made numerous high-level officials available for public congressional testimony, transcribed interviews, and briefings.
So Holder did not commit any contempt offense.
Article 1 section 8 does not authorize congress the power to coerce other branches of government. Any power not mentioned in article 1 section 8 is prohibited. That means the contempt charge violates the constitution.
Treason definition:
So Holder cooperated with congress and republicans committed treason?
And Holder can now arrest and detain members of congress for treason?
And only Pres. Obama has the power to pardon anyone for treason?
This is getting way interesting.
One of the reasons that executive privilege exists is so that the identity and home address of law enforcement officials can be kept secret so that the criminals can't hunt them down and kill them.
It is illegal to release wiretap information, depositions, and investigation transcripts for that reason.
Republicans only found out about the program because they started it.
Site #1:
Site #2:
Site #3:
Site #4:
And so on.
Obama is going to have to throw these clowns in jail for a few weeks to straighten them out.
Let's see if Issa shoots himself in the foot. Let's see a Joe McCarthy good-bye!
Don't offer a tissue, MD....you have a tender heart. <s>
Hurting the president - 96%
It would be a violation of law to comply with Congress demand...
@Crackhead
I agree with your synopsis I find it brilliant. Thank you.
This pile of cow pies are going to backfire, - fast, and furious-, right back in the face of Issa and the NRA. The smell will follow them for the rest of their lives. --Does any one in the Republican Party know how to win the office of Presidency in a fair, and balanced way. --Or do they really believe the Lie, that Foxx News is representing to them, that they are the real definition of fair and balanced?
Hi Rachel!
Most of them really believe the lies from that media....it's become saturated in their minds like dope. It's so sad to watch and they can take us down too. Need to approach the addict with caution, tools for recovery and true information.
After a week, a birther named Kreep creeped into a judge's seat in CA. It just goes to show how the People must be registered and V O T E fully informed!!
@kathe--you are so right, it's so sad but true, people only know who's running for office when they see them on a advertisement while watching their favorite T.V. program. with all the dirty money coming in, these tea baked candidates are able to purchase more ads. I hope the Democrat Party knows this, we must do whatever it takes to keep this tragedy from ever happening again to our Country.. These guys have not passed one jobs bill, but they can hold meetings to try and make sure their voter suppression scheme works. Even if it means trying to overthrow government.
Rachel Maddow had an interesting perspective on this Fast and Furious scandal that gave a different slant on citing Eric Holder for contempt of Congress...
Apparently, FOX 'News' and the NRA have been promoting a conspiracy theory connecting Holder, President Obama and F&F as a Democratic plot to destroy the Second Amendment, by having the ATF deliberately promoting the sales of automatic weapons to Mexican mobsters... The gun violence on the border would escalate, leading to an upswell in the demands by Progressive Communist Democrats for the repeal of the right to bear arms... This theory completely ignores that F&F was developed by the Bush administration, and when Holder found out about it, he ordered it shut down...
Darryl Issa is looking for a 'smoking gun' memo (pardon the pun) that proves this insane conspiracy really exists... When Holder 'refuses' to produce this non-existant evidence, that Issa is convinced exists, Issa finds Holder in contempt...
This whole situation is totally insane... Holder can't produce evidence of a conspiracy that doesn't exist...
David--These are some dirty, conniving, crooked low life scums. I don't like to pull out the race card, but I'm so used to it being played, I know their next move. This goes on every day in the life of a Black Man. Look at Susan Smith, The Run-a-way bride, they know how the story goes. just blame the Black Man, and we don't have to worry about nothing. The same thing happened in the Bush Presidency, guns were given to the drug cartel, and someone was killed,- but no mock trial was held-. We still don't have answers. I just hope that America can see through this can that is filled with so many innocent holes.. The Story of, To kill a Mocking bird, could very well be the Story of today...But, only if the Repub-Thugs have their way.
@Chuck-2258469, RE: (Comment #1.9)
It wouldn't matter if the GOP allowed the Democrat's request to go through; Gonzales followed the rule of whatever Cheney wants, as opposed to his predecessor, Ashcroft, who was committed to the rule of law, and would have told Cheney to stick it where the sun doesn't shine. So, Gonzales would have said that the GOP's equivalent to Fast 'n Furious was legal. (Although he wouldn't have volunteered the fact that the personnel at BATF who ran the operation only did so after a lawyer hunt to find one who'd say that what they wanted to do was legal.)
Had McConnell and his ilk allowed a new Director for BATF to be confirmed, Holder may have found out about Fast 'n Furious sooner than he actually did, and it may have been stopped before the agent was killed. So, Issa ought to subpoena McConnell to find out why the confirmation was blocked, forcing BATF to continue with acting directors who were likely more sympathetic to what Cheney wanted than what the rule of law allows, allowing Fast 'n Furious to continue until Holder found out about it. That is, if Issa wants to know the truth. But, Issa is on a witch hint, looking for a smoking gun, even if he has to to a bait and switch, using smoke and mirrors, to fool the public into believing that Obama is at fault for something that he didn't even know about, that Bush-43 may not have known about, but Cheney would have.

RE:
Issa's hypocrisy doesn't surprise me. However, Chris Wallace disappointed me. Hopefully it's not because his stalwart father, Mike (of 60 Minutes fame), is no longer alive to ensure that Chris remains amongst the very few over at Faux News who actually are Fair-and-Balanced! I guess that leaves Brett Baier the only reliable one now.
@Crackhead Awards, RE: (Comment #1.15)
I certainly don't foresee Issa being so forthright as to hold himself in Contempt of Congress. But, if he were, he'd do America a favor and resign his seat.
As to GOP members of Congress who are violating the US Constitution, that would be all and only those Republicans who put the good of the Party (including the ignoble attempt to make sure Obama doesn't get reelected) before the good of the Country. The Oath of Office that each and everyone of them took obligates them to defend the Constitution, while absolutely no mention of Political Parties are made.
@Rachael-3967039, RE: (Comment #1.19)
If the GOP believed their Party could win the Presidency without stacking the deck with a bunch of Voter Suppression Laws which they incompetently claim are intended to prevent Voter Fraud, mostly using canned legislation straight from ALEC, then I think we could safely presume that most Republicans believe they can win fairly. Nevertheless, I have to believe that there are a few Republicans who still believe in fairness, although most of them are not going to go beyond local races, where the races tend to be non-partisan.
Unfortunately, as long as there are Political Operatives like Rove, Armey, et al., and we're still dealing with the corruption that Money is Free Speech & Citizens United entails, and Grover Norquist is still out there, claiming that the Pledge is to the voters, not to him, personally, and Republican candidates remain foolish enough to sign a Pledge to not raise taxes which is guaranteed to cause a conflict between upholding the Constitution or obeying Norquist's picayunish demand, which the GOP members of Congress adhere to as an ideology to follow, no matter the consequences, ...
Will the silly, but vile behavior ever end? Probably not until Norquist, Rove, and their ilk, who put ideologies or parties number 1 and Country as an afterthought, are dead and gone. but, even then, it'll likely take at least a generation to purge the poison from the Party - unless they leave proteges behind to continue the craze.
hi Crackhead,
your post #1.15-
like Ethelouise, i too, find your synopsis brilliant, along with all your other posts.
Mom 318 (#1.7 ) :
i luv U ... and Michelle 2 :>)
Is this the same Obama that was highly critical of the use of this power in the last administration- saying that the American People deserved to know what went on in the WH? The one promising openess?
The same openness The GOP God Ronald Reagan embraced in 1986 during the Iran Contra affair. You didn't hear many Repubs screaming then, did you?
and obama has the right ti invoke his powers like all other president's, and legally congress can't do anything about it.
They are not interested in the truth any more than they are interested in get this country back on track. They want Obama to look bad, and so they are going to try by destroying Holder. It is just like all the lies they tell. Obama made one big mistake. He didn't put GW and Cheney up on criminal charges. Their actions make me want to scream. This is typical republican behavior, they will never ever be able to run anything that is honest. I'm done with them. I'm mad and I'm not going to take it anymore. Watch my dust.
And if you don't like it,SUFFER !!!! We had to put up with 8 years of GEORGE jr and all you can do is gripe about OBAMA's first term ? I think you better go get your DIAPER changed because it's really start to stink from you being here.
TEA Partiers don't care about the Truth.
They simply want to see Obama fall.
Don't care about his birthplace or his youth;
They hate the fact that he exists at all.
They think the poor are filthy, lazy blighters
Who don't deserve to live upon the dole,
And unions - teachers, cops and firefighters -
Have picking rich men's pockets as their goal.
Their propaganda machine, known as FOX,
Thrives on the fuel of lies and innuendo.
They'd love to open up Pandora's Box,
And watch the world collapse in cruel crescendo.
The Golden Rule they live by is for fools.
"Whoever has the Gold, he makes the Rules."
David, Your words ring clear as the Liberty bell ! There obsession to destroy a President has made them ineffective as politicians and before they are done they will destroy America.
David- Please post something where Reagan campaigned against Carter claiming use of executive privelidge- or except the fact that Obama directly complained about that aspect of Bush II, thusly making Obama a hypocrite.
Mom- If Obama is clean on this- then he could release records that show he is clean, and make Republicans look foolish. As it is, he is making it appear that he has something to hide. I mean, his staff is being criticized for releasing critical information that is current regarding terror fighting issues- yet he won't release info on things that are over and done with. If the Republican's goal is to make him look bad- they don't need to try too hard- he is making himself look bad.
Billie- You're right. Obama can claim executive priviledge. And he could complain about Bush doing that. And he could campaign about having an open Presidency. All this means liberals will defend him, and moderates will scratch their heads and wonder what else he is hiding.
Ted- you seem to have adult thinking processes- not... I'm happy to have you as a liberal.
David and Pam- Goofy but clever and irrelevant.
Rusty
With this latest move on Executive privilege doesn't it look like the Pres is intentionally trying to lose the election? His last three big announcements gay marriage, non-deportation, and now the fast and furious executive priviledge thing could have all been done early in his presidency. Why wait till now. The gay marriage and fast and furious announcements are not going to get him votes with the majority of the population, especially the independent voters. All seem like political miscues so close to the election. Especially the latest one. Fast and furious is old news. Unless the withheld documents show some kind of illegal activity by the Justice Department what is the point in not releasing them.
Well- any thinking person would have to know that Obama has been an extremely hypocritical President. Remember the "hold me accountable for the stimulus spending" pledge and the website to track jobs?
Republicans want President Obama to be one time President. Repubs for all these time have shown no good plans or accomplishments for the people of America. They have become obstructionist . Taking tax payers money and not doing anything in return. We all have to make sure that no Repub is elected in 2012.
or at least TRY to not have them re-elected.
@Sen
You are absolutely correct. I am tired of republicants 'bleating' about Obama and the democrats wasting money - Nancy Pelosi now regrets not going after bush/cheney and rove, now when she's not in power and cannot do anything about it. She said her focus was on 'jobs'. That's what the republicants are supposed to be focused on 'jobs'. Holding Eric Holder responsible for something that was started during the bush adminisration is not focusing on 'jobs'. Their arguments are pretty weak.
Justice for the poor, middle-class....VOTE OBAMA 2012! Obama can't create jobs alone, we need to support him and remove the obstructionists.
Good article out today about how Iceland is perfect model for Obama. Their economy is based upon free health care, equality of income, and very high tax rates. Such as $2 per gal gas tax, but virtually free home heating. Very high tax rates, but since every pays it, it is fair. Very few wealthy, but when their is, they pay hire rates yet.
Iceland has justice for the middle class, because the entire country is virtually middle class.
Had no idea that you were a socialist, Rusty. Sounds pretty good in Iceland but, I recall it wasn't so great for the former USSR. Maybe it was the massive defense spending back then.
They were an economic bell weather and do you know why that was? Is Iceland too un-exciting, marxist or Scandinavian for you? What's your point?
Finland has the best system in the world.
@Ethelouise 3.2 : I agree. Repubs are sabotaging the country. I am surprised that we, the citizens, are not demanding a way to remove these obstructionists from the Congress. President is the Boss. He should have the power to do that, it is then only the repubs will start to work and serve the people who are paying their salaries.
So everyone should just shut up, move out of the way, and let Obama do exactly what he wants to do?
Funny how you all whine about freedom and what you're suggesting is exactly the opposite.
What you're suggesting here is a dictatorship. By "start to work" I guess you mean "agree with Obama" right?
Sorry but there are still some of us left in America that do NOT trust Obama or any president to have absolute power. When one man decides the fate of a nation, that is NOT freedom.
You are a misguided soul if you think this is in any way a good idea.
It's not obstructionism when they're trying to send a message to Obama that he can't just do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. That's not sabotaging him, that's fulfilling an obligation to protect and defend the Constitution by preventing him from becoming King Obama.
Sorry but it is the responsibility of Congress to investigate these things, and it's unrealistic to say that they should be "focusing on jobs" at the exclusion of everything else.
SO WHAT? Just because he can doesn't mean he should. Especially when he was the one who talked about transparency in government when he was campaigning.
This is not Republicans trying to find a scandal to make Obama look bad.
This IS a scandal that makes Obama look bad. Once again, the only reason to suppress documents is because there is something he's trying to hide. If there's nothing to find and he wants to put this to rest, why doesn't he just release the documents they're requesting to shut this whole thing down right now?
The reason is simple. He can't because they're right.
@Chit 3.8 : Looks like you also want President Obama to be one time president.
Why it is so hard to understand what is written. No body wants dictatorship, but when GOP always filibusters and does not allow even any debate or exchange any idea of any Bill, how can we move the country forward??????????
So the solution is to Abolish Filibuster. Until then President who is the BOSS has very right in exercising his Executive Power in order to move the country forward. That is NOT Dictatorship.
Hope it is clear now what I meant.
No Kathe- I actually think it would suck to be an icelander nowadays. But there's is the culmination of everything Obama has espoused. They soaked the rich and fedto the middle class and poor to the extent that the rich don't exist, all are middle class. Few are poverty because they tax high and fund the poor. They have a high tax on fossil fuels, have free medical care from the national doctors that remain.
They have an extremely progressive tax rate.
kathe must have read up on Iceland. Not a very good outcome for an Obama style plan.
repubs think if there is a scandal associated with President Obama, they have a better chance of winning in Nov.
that's it.
plain and simple.
then there's the racism thing.
Hi suzette,
They tried that the last time. Folk came out the woodwork & voted. People of all races & ages.
The Republicans are the scandal this election.
This scandal might backfire because the contempt charge is unconstitutional, which makes it look like tea party members just committed treason.
Nothing like crossing the line BooCoo times to rouse up the People to vote. Da breeze is becoming a wind. Let's give Obama a huricane of votes!!
Thank you, new GOP !! Shout out, my friend !!
Obama/Biden - 2012 !!!!
I'm convinced they go to sleep at night and wake each morning with thoughts of how to hurt the president on their minds.
don't forget the secret meetings they have/had.
They are wicked and evil.
Hi Thankful,

Battling The Wicked Troll (handbook)
Do Not Feed The Trolls.
You must use mirrors to defend yourself from wicked troll on the wild unmoderated blog.
Mirrors never harm innocent people because they like their own reflection.
You must never forget that trolls are funny.
Innocent people have a sense of humor. Trolls have no sense of humor because it has been surgically removed to allow them to devote their life to hatred and ridicule. Funny things are very painful to a troll. Making a troll laugh at itself is called trollicide.
Trolls do not like what they look like, and they can see their reflection in a mirror.
Responding with emotion to an inflammatory statement is called feeding. The worst possible response is a negative emotional response. Innocent people become troll-bait when they make an emotional response. Trolls feed on emotions. Never make an emotional response in the presence of a troll.
Troller-coasters can occupy the entire content of unmoderated blogs when innocent people feed them.
Post #14.4 is an example of a "holding up a mirror".
It is sometimes hard to tell the innocent person from a troll. The Beginners Guild to Internet Trolling can help.
Trolls never tell the truth. That makes them vulnerable to fact checking. They claim that lies are facts and popular things are unpopular.
They hate it when you explain their own false claims in an obviously funny way. Logic can often be used to prove the opposite of a false claim.
Trolls hate humor, logic, reason, and truth.
That is called "holding up a mirror".
Innocent people like it when you hold up a mirror. Trolls hate mirrors like vampires in the sunlight.
Trolls tend to stop after the lies become funny.
It starts to get really funny when trolls don't stop because it becomes more and more ridiculous when trolls try harder and harder to defend more and more lies. They will eventually forget and tell the truth.
An exchange involving false information cannot continue indefinitely because it becomes exponentially more complicated for the lier to keep track of everything they have said.
Trolls will eventually stop, start telling the truth, or do something that will get their account suspended.
Sorry for the shameless tread-jacking.
Fore,
The Republican strategy has degenerated to lies and name calling.
What a shame.
Kathe, That is the best news could here. They need to find a place that shares there views. Its sure not here! I have noticed they seem to delight in causing a ruckus. They attack and bring not a fact !
Thank you Kathe/Tacoma.
Pam...
You fail to understand... Trolls don't get paid by lobbyists for posting hateful rhetoric where hateful rhetoric is the norm... They are paid to disrupt sites that might end up organizing resistance to what the lobbyists are selling... Their purpose is not to be agreed with; It's to disrupt Democratic thought...
CA #7.4, excellent!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS9FJwMoJaM
this travesty is a witch hunt pure and simple. when cornyn attaches "voter suppression" to this the truth comes out. the fast and furious program was started by the bush administration but where is there accountability?? AG Holder put a stop to fast and furious, has cooperated with congress and only gets disrespected. issus is a power hungry creep. the only thought of the nra backed gop is how to destroy a president. what place does the NRA have dictating policy to the gop??? no wonder congress has an approval rating of under 10%.
The witch is that crook Darrell Issa. He was accused of arson for torching a building for the insurance money, carrying a concealed weapon, for which he was fined, and stealing a Maserati! This info was on his Wikipedia bio, but somebody has been cleaning up his image on there in the last few days. This guy should NEVER have been elected to Congress in the first place with his background. And he's got the guts to sit in judgment of Holder. The world has gome mad!
question. Have the The BATF identified the exact weapon that killed the border patrol agents?
Was it sold under Baby Bush's Administration or President Obama's?
It was not the guns sale tracking plan that was flawed, but the corrupt Mexican Government whose @ fought.
MJB, I read that and say how can this man get elected with criminal record ?
It is starting to look like Republicans are criminal.
The tea party contempt charge looks like treason.
Michelle Bachmann had access to the classified NSA/CIA information that was illegally leaked about the Iran nuclear program.
This kind of thing makes it look like government might be less corrupt if republicans were better vetted.
@Pam
Because his brother took the fall for him. Apparently he blamed his brother or set him up, that way technically he does not have a record but this is well known in his district and the entire state of California. I used to live there. Issa was the one that intiated the recall of Govoner Grey Davis. Unlike the recall in Wisconsin you could not vote for Grey Davis because the recall was all about 'getting rid' of him. That's why I was not at all happy about the outcome in Wisconsin. Had we been allowed to we would have voted Grey Davis back in.
So you are basing something that someone supposedly did that charges were never brought upon as fact and the basis to discredit their credibility?
Apparently you enjoy being in the company of criminals. Perhaps they can make you the 'ringleader' and you get to run your own circus...
lets look at the set-up and false imprisonment of Don Siegelman (a poplular alabama democratic gov.) by the w. bush administration.
the bush administration wanted this democratic gov. OUT, and REPLACED with a republican one, so they did exactly that.
this is typical of what repubs do. those responsible for the prosecution of Don Siegelman and other crimes have not been held accountable.
I think if they were after the truth it would be a first. But this seems to be another fabrication of the Teapublicans witch hunt and will drag this out until the election in an attempt to discredit the Obama administration. You would have thought by now they would have wised up to the tactics of the President, and this my just be another one of those "Liberal tricks" Oops got fooled again! LOL!

Phyllis: Wow your right, the would like to have as much non issues as possible on the table in an effort to have Willard dodge the real ones! Good point!
Hey be sure to uncheck your NAME if you don't want it shown!!!!
xxx ...
Sounds like you've been reading
Chapter One of the Republican Handbook I sourced before...
Who do you think they got it from! Muahahahahaha!
I really scare the dickens out them on Halloween! I get more candy than I give out!
The only thing they really care about is putting OBAMA out of business.They don't give a DAMN about the general public so why should we care for them ? They would rather run this country into the ground before helping anyone out.
Ted, The Republicans would not know the truth if it fell from the sky and hit them in there heads. They would sell there Grandmother's if it would get the president out of office. People who are this obsessive to me are a risk to our national security!
Hi Pam,
U got a whole lot of info in just a few lines.
Hi Phyllis, I just read above about Darrel Issa and how this man got to be Govt. official blows my mind. With his criminal record he could stole all those guns himself and never blinked! There needs to be federal investigation on him for sure !
PAM - I sure wouldn't trust them one bit no matter what the situation is.Flat out,throw the BUMS out of office.
The GOP is shameless and it's embarrassing, really. The real victim here is Holder.
UNfortunately for Holder, they don't care that he is human. They just want a target.
They want to stop Holder from stopping Scott's voter suppression in Florida. Everything they do is to get control of the White House like the power-hungry morons they are.
TRC...
I believe their motives are a bit more insane than that...
Check out post #1.22 for the insane conspiracy theory Issa is trying to prove...
Republicans in Congress have gone off the deep end, and logic will not be accepted by them...
Hard to believe that wacky @!$%# is true...or that Issa believes it. Maybe he just wants the fringe to believe it. They won't need evidence, just an accusation.
Heard the same theory today on PoliticsNation...
Hurting the President: They're both African American are'nt they.Two bird's with one stone as they say.
what is it with republicans and black men? seriously...
I am out raged by the republicans repeated bad behavior. They should all be impeached and we should elect another congress. I think better yet omit the republican party all-together. This is a group of senators that breed hate and contempt. And also not to mention a bunch of liars.
but there are still a few good ones(repuke) i actually heard one yesterday on c-span. couldn't believe my ears.
Good evening friends. Naturally Their whole purpose is to embarrass the President. Billy the good ones are drowned out by the loudmouth ignorant nutty ones.
Sorry I misspelled Billie.
it's all good a
Republicans don't care about the truth- all they care about is themselves. And hurting the President. and also Republicans are Hurting the President and the Democratic Party for the future. This was a well thought master plan to undermine Both President Obama and the Democratic Party.
Republicans have engineered the sale of American democracy to the very wealthy and with each election they try to seal the deal. Every election is more and more important.
McConnell doesn't even think we need to know who's spending the money that runs the show. Apparently even if its money from a foreign country it's ok with him as long as he gets his cut.
If we can't overturn the idiotic citizens united decision democracy as we know it is history. How any American can't see how wrong the supreme court was is unbelievable. No matter what party one favors if you can't see how much that decision ruins the democratic process you're a lost cause.
Maybe we should find out how Iceland put the bankers & filthy rich out of their politics!
Steve,
This was a global thought out plan. President Obama came along & burst all their bubbles. Putin & Netanyahu & China haven't got on board, yet.
It is interesting how the GOP is consumed with a "witch-hunt", while they have NO appetite for creating Jobs or signing the Jobs Bill presented by the President..........
Remember in November.........vote out of office every one of these "obstructionists" and let the country move "Forward" to prosperity...
don't forget the farm bill where farm's keep getting breaks and food stamps get cut nad so on and so on. they all make me sick and we all need to get out and vote and vote them out of office
oops and
@Billie Mazza
I know what you mean
isn't this group of repukes taht let reagan and bush off the hook and now want holder in contempt
I think it's time we go after them ( republicans ) for TREASON.
Billie an Ted, I so agree with you. How can a group of politicians get by with so much? They are like a nest of vipers who would use any means possible legal or illegal to destroy all who are in there way. I have said many times you take what they say and do and believe the opposite that will be your truth! In many ways they are worse than any enemy we would ever have. Because they do it openly right in front of us and use Fox, Rush and propaganda to destroy a nation! Say it long enough and loud enough they believe the lies they tell ! I tell you we are at the cliff and if they regain control we are collateral damage!
Ted - Yup - Where Is The Yard-Arm !!!! heheheheee !!!!
The republicans are the AMERICAN TALIBAN The party is a national threat
Once again I agree 100% Sign me up for the fight! Anyone know who the psychic is that predicted the 2nd Amer. Rev. in 2012? Good psychic but not too hard too predict when more than 50% of populace is tired of the repukes trying to turn the Americans into serfs for the 1%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been calling them a crime family for years now. The Mafia is in awe of what they've accomplished.
The Mafia modeled themselves on the Roman Legions, but I think from now on they're going to model themselves after the Republican party.
@TheRealChris
Is that why all the Mafia guys are republicans? Ever notice they 'never' vote, they don't even have social security cards...
The republicans are looking for anything, anyhow to hurt the President. Considering this operation started during the Bush administration, why aren't they pulling in that AG?
I find the republicans in contempt of our intelligence.
Hi Rose!
They're in contempt of intelligence.....period !!
More GOP distraction from the real issues.....like a President's election for just a start !!!!
Hi Kathe: And they think everyone else is crazy.
And all this just reinforces to decriminalize marijuana and end fruitless the $12 billion a year war on drugs. The teapublicans have been after Holder since the day he got the job. I wonder what they have to hide themselves that Holder may expose about what happened during the crooked Bush administration. If I was Holder I would find those little lies and bring them to light.
Its TIME
FREE THE WEED!
NO JAIL TIME!
NO DRUG WAR!
NO KILLING!
NO MORE LOSING YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE BECAUSE OF IT!

https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/legalize-and-regulate-marijuana-manner-similar-alcohol/y8l45gb1
I really don't want a law passed for just prescription use as would be controlled by the drug companies and well you know.
Legalize maybe but still the government has its hands on it and big business.
Decriminalize that's the ticket...So you can grow enough for your own use and not have to be a drag on the system.
Either way its TIME TO FREE THE WEED!
Hi xxx!!
Attached to the Farm Bill:
END THE ATTACK ON U.S. WILDERNESS AND THE 1964 WILDERNESS ACT: KILL HR 4089
http://signon.org/sign/end-the-attack-on-us.fb10?source=s.fb&r_by=4643916
It's being considered Complain to you representatives about the Farm Bill while you're at it....nearly $1 trillion over the next 10 years with 76% going to huge agri-busniesses, billions removed from the food stamp program over the next 5 years.....bad bill. How can we get the deficit down with this kind of pork?
How come we don't hear from the *teapubs*? Is it the corporate welfare? Is it the food stamps? Good gravy.
Keep in mind that the NRA would love to have Holder out.....more baseless fear tactics for 2nd Amendment Rights.
Hi back! Signed thanks for bringing it up for us to sign! Its just one more thing we all can do to STOP this misnomer act!
NRA Nazi Radical Activists!
xxx ooo,
Like ... chill dude. Wait for the second term.
But this topic is good for a grass-roots underground campaign. 75% so far and climbing.
It's gonna happen.
Just not this month.
Well maybe not...but its just one more thing to put on the table Obama is at least thinking about it......Willard HA! Who knows maybe it will be a bill right before the election....could sway a few votes!
Different branches of the federal government have different charters on this topic. Hemp is not strictly illegal in the US.
First, read amendment I to the US constitution very carefully.
Next, read the book of Exodus very carefully - especially the part about manna.
Cannabis seed is the only food substance that satisfies that description.
Cannabis seed is kind of sweet. It provides complete protein in addition to the perfect balance of omega fatty acids required for proper nutrition. Cannabis is the only non-toxic single food capable of providing complete human nutrition, so it could be used for 40 years just like the Exodus story. No other food substance could do that.
Cannabis grows wild in asia. Southwest asia had much more rainfall during Exodus (aka: the middle east).
The word "Canaanite" that is mentioned in the bible refers to someone that lives in the land where cannabis grows wild.
The holy anointing oil contains hemp oil.
Hemp seed is separated from the plant fiber is called a decorticator.
The manna machine described in The Kabbalah had to be a decorticator because that is the only thing that can separate seed from plants. Manna has to be cannabis seed butter or something similar.
If that isn't enough, the sacrament to Lord Shiva is cannabis (Hinduism).
It's pretty easy to find other examples in other religions (Buddhism, ...).
I'm getting hungry!!! Maybe we could use one of those machines to get the seediness out of Washington?
Things are changing.
I didn't know that California cows had glaucoma!
Can they make beer out of it? Silly me they do already Bud.
I mixed up the catnip and the weed once....catnipbis! The cat wouldn't stop asking for more!
xxx ooo a stoner? I would never have guessed dude. :) You better be careful though, the DEA monitors sites like these.
A Fed,
Does that mean the DEA might eventually get a clue?
Confiscating religious sacraments and incarcerating people for spiritual worship violates the first amendment.
No not for years, I take Viagra I'm a boner stoner so maybe its true it did lead to harder drugs!
Teapublicans lack many things one of which is a sense of humor!
These scum bags want 2 take President Obama down, By Any Means Necessary! They were not paid 2 discover the truth!!!
They don't care about the truth as long as OBAMA fails ( NOT !!!!!!! ).
Ted,
That's 1 thing President Obama has not obliged them. They R almost out of luck.
When he gets re-elected,they have no choice in the matter but to work with him.If they don't,then that would show you who is really bad for this country.
the House Republicans prove they can waste their time, and our tax-dollars, a lot better than they can bring down unemployment numbers or make America a better nation
Mary,
All Congress has 2 do is bring a jobs bill 2 the House floor.
