Yes. Republicans are not doing anything to take America forward , instead doing everything to stalemate the country. They want to abolish everything President Obama has done and thus are planning to take the country even further 4 years backward. That is no leadership. We compromise and settle in a democratic society, not just obstruct on everything.
you're right, sen. repubs are only focused on ousting our pres. no matter what it takes. they're running with blinders on to get to the finish line no matter what. their way or the highway at all costs.
OMG, I hope so. Especially since mr issa got so dramatic and out of hand yesterday. Everyone know why they are doing this and they will be exposed, and so will gw/cheney.

Petition/Hold Bush/Cheney accountable for war crimes!
I certainly hope so, because I am so sick of the sanctimonious self righteousness of these attention seeking truth avoiding self appointed christians.
It makes me ashamed to be a christian.
Amen!
yes this is going to backfire in their faces and i hope it blows all to hell on them. these hateful and bigoted repukes will keep sinking lower and lower as the election draws closer. OBAMA 2012
Yes, these people are Hollier than thou, and claim to be real patriotic people! Hope it does back fire on them. Darrell (without his two brothers) is doing this to embrass president, and remove Eric Holder! Atty. gen. is in their way to creat biggest voter fraud, and they must get rid of him! But not so easy!Romney's parents flew to Mexico to avoid war, and Marco(Polo) Rubio's parents (he says so) left Cuba to escape Castro(A big lie), but they came to USA for better life. I wonder marco was born in USA! Where is his Birth certificate? Hateful Hannity needs to ask that to Marck.
Look Up Darrell Issa's criminal record. Just saying.
You are correct, all the Republicans want to do is put Women back to the 1950's and make this country available to only the wealthy people or the 1 percenter's. I would love to see the 1 percenter's live from paycheck to paycheck or with no paycheck. I mean, who do the Republicans think that they are? God? God wouldn't do the things that the Republicans are doing to the poor, he or she is better than that.
billie #1.6. so low the next place for them is the gw/cheney dungeon.
xxxooo the petition is now closed. Darn!
Mac, I also would like to see Marco's birth certificate.
These people are real sickos & it is disgusting!!!!!!
i watched those pathetic hearings in it's entirety yesterday on C-SPAN 3, and yes all these repukes are after is taking down obama and holder, and the reason this week is because they were told to stop voter suppression. plain and simple. so keep it up repukes you're doing us a favor with all your hatred,bigotry,racism,and it will backfire. the american people ARE NOT as stupid and gullible as you want to dream we are.
The shame is Darrell Issas' he has a broken soul Hey Darrell guess what! when you have finished doing your leaders dirty work you have go back to the back of the bus you just aren't white enough to sit with other Republicans
Issa and his ilk would do better to let the DOJ continue its job of investigating Fast 'n Furious, starting with the Operation Wide Receiver roots.
McConnell and his ilk would do better to confirm Obama's appointments for Director of BATF, numerous Judicial positions, and so on.
All of the GOP Representatives who've signed Norquist's picayunish Pledge to not raise taxes, even if it would require them to violate their Oath of Office by not upholding the Constitution should get some common sense knocked into their heads and recognize that spending Cuts alone will not reduce the deficit; eventually, the interest on the debt will exceed GDP.
While the GOP can fairly easily ignore Warren Buffet, Nick Hanauer they can't. They ignore his knowledge and wisdom at America's peril. Here are a few references to pass on to the Ignorant Conservatives (I won't say the Right, for they are demonstrably the Wrong):
Any member of Congress who refuses to accept the demonstrable truth of Nick Hanauer's argument regarding who the Job Creators really are should not be reelected. Any candidate for President or either house of Congress who cannot or will not accept Hanauer's argument should not get elected so long as they are so dangerously ignorant.
@ kv 1.1 : I agree.
Oh yes indeed! Issa has loaded his gun but has forgotten that it was all started under the Bush Administration and the reason why Holder hasn't produced all the "DOCUMENTS" is because he is waiting for Bushes Wide Open Receiver to finish making up the truth!
XXX - Lets just hope that it does succeed or else we're doomed ( I hope not ).
@XXX
Can you tell me why the 'powers that be' in this witch hunt have not subpenaed anybody from the bush administration? And did the gun used in the murder on the lone American victim from the Obama AFT investigation or the bush AFT investigation. Was it traced? Should that have come out in the witch hunt as well?
And how much tax payer money has been spent on this little misadventure?
Obama had nothing to do with this. It happened as part of a rogue investigation started by the ATF office in Phoenix. This is just another chapter in the Republican playbook to make Obama a one term President. Unfortunately, this will blow up in their faces.

Investigate/Prosecute Bush Administration War Crimes
The moral compass of the United States has been permanently damaged by the actions of the Bush administration's war on terror and its aggression in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Part and parcel to this aggression has been the admission of war crimes by those at the highest levels of the Bush administration, including the president himself.
Condoleeza Rice admitted to Senator Carl Levin, head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, that starting in 2002 she held high-level discussions on torture in the White House. This story received little coverage by the mainstream media because it occurred during the 2008 election season.
President George W. Bush, in a stunning admission to ABC News, stated that he knew about the meetings and approved of them. This occurred in April 2008 and no action was taken by the Congress.
On his way out the door, Vice President Dick Cheney has admitted that he approved of waterboarding and other "enhanced interrogation techniques." Not only does he admit it, but he admits it proudly in an attempt to cement his place in the history of Bush torture policies.
The Bush administration has left behind a legacy of war, death and destruction unparalleled in recent history. It has violated both national and international laws, as well as the Geneva Conventions. As Americans, we must hold our own elected officials to the same standards that we hold the rest of the world to.
While Dick Cheney will tell you that waterboarding and other torture techniques have saved American lives, the exact opposite is true. The stories about and pictures of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo have served to turn more people in these war-torn areas against us.
It is time to demand that the Obama administration appoint a Special Prosecutor to conduct a thorough investigation of Bush administration war crimes that results in an indictment of the guilty parties. Rather than return comfortably to private lives, those complicit in these crimes (and they do not stop here) should take a trip to The Hague.

Mountain, I can not post all of this because it is so long it cover 3 pages of the blog. Mucho information.
But Operation Wide Receiver seems to challenge that assertion. That investigation, based in Tucson during 2006-07, allowed nearly 300 guns to be smuggled into Mexico. The objective, according to federal records: catch cartel kingpins.
The problem for those who see gun-walking as a conspiracy of the Obama administration: Operation Wide Receiver was carried out during the Bush administration, under then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Even Dobyns, one of the agents behind cleanupatf.org, discounts notions that the gun-walking tactic originated in Washington, D.C. He says Fast and Furious was concocted by an Arizona field agent and endorsed by ATF bosses up the line from Phoenix.
"I think it was a ploy at self-glorification," he said. "When the OIG report came out and said, 'Hey, ATF, you're failing miserably,' I think they decided to prove him wrong. They said, 'I'm going to get the big fish, and how do you like me now?' "

wow. thanks for that, TM. i thought i knew some stuff, lo.
Hi kv!
Is this also some kind of payback for investigating Nixon and Reagan? They were criminals at a glance and proven to be so in the end, for Heaven's sake!
So the r/tp's make "stuff" up and stick another dagger in the heart of America....they *do not* care! Let's throw "sh!t" and see what sticks. Cowpies !!!
No! More than that, the new GOP needs to think twice. They have adopted hearts full of treachery and treason. We are all in peril. This *needs* to stop now!!!!
they haven't forgotten where it started they are depending on the ignorance and predicable white males hated of men of color they are liars i don't believe a single word out of their mouths everything out of their mouths is a lie.they just don't know what to do to stop the voter fraud investigations any other way than this bogus charge they can't win in nov. without purging democrats and minorities off the voter lists after the election they will just say oops,
The GOP is after Eric Holder for his going after the voter ID laws, the anti-immigration laws and the DOMA. Holder is investigating all these policies of the extreme right. This is their main reason for trying to discredit him (and Obama with him, of course) to prevent his finding their policies illegal. Additionally, it may get in the way of their vote to keep student loan rates from doubling. They care too much for education to let THAT happen, right? Wrong.
This was an idea begun in 2007 by the Bush's attorney general, Michael Mukasey. It was a terrible failure and the Obama administration, under Holder, ended it. This will backfire on the GOP as they will find out the truth of the failure and where the fault actually lies: At the feet of GWB.
The place where his brain is.
These racist terrorists need to go. Vote them out in November. I'll be happy to provide a list.
@India
I don't know why anybody from the bush administration were subpoenaed why the focus on just the Obama administration if they had call in people from the bush administration then this could not be construed as a 'witch hunt'. In essence the republicans have hung themselves.
TM, This is fascinating information and i have just skimmed the article. It amazes me how they spread the lies that its obama fault. No matter how many years we get away from Bush years we will all ways find all that has happen past few years go back to them. This country has been turned upside down because of Bush and Cheney.
Pam:Do you miss him yet?
XXX OOO, Can i give you a hell no!
LOL! I wish Cheney would take him on a hunting trip!
Yeah, xxxooo, with a 30-06 deer rifle.
We are no longer engaged in American politics, We are in the middle of a Fascist Putsch. The only question in my mind is how many of these Theopublikans are just tools and how many are active plotters. They are so damn willing to stop Obama that they willing destroy the very fabric of our system to do it. They are the Anti-Christ.
Investigate Issa!
Hi Chris!
Oh yes! R/tp bodies from the fallout all over the landscape. Good luck with that. The party of "family values" protects Vitters.
Let's see Issa in cuffs in the future. What he has done and doing is criminal.
I have and he is another rich sob republican, that has many skeletons in his closet. Only a slimy crook would try this.
KATHE/TACOMA - Lets not forget about Boner and McConnell in the process.Preferably hauled of to GITMO and thrown in with the general population of "terrorists" there.
At least that way we'd know there are at least two genuine terrorists there.
WARNING!----Please don't fall for The Repub-Thugs Latest trick For Us to take our eye off the things that matter, JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, -Student Loan Increases, The Ryan Plan, Women Rights, The Poor, The Middle Class, and last, but certainly not least, WILLARD MITT ROMNEY--and his etch-A-Sketch expertise.--This Mock trial has no merit, Keep your eye on the REAL thing.---OBAMA/BIDEN-2012.
Vigilance!
Torches & Pitchforks!
THEREALCHRIS - Don't you mean 3 genuine terrorists ( Boner,McConnell,Issa ) ? And that's just to start.Who knows how many more will join them in the process.
The real Chris, Issa's criminal record is known by a lot of people from back in 2010.
Yes, & well it should!
The GOP Money will pour like a full bladder into the john to unseat Our President. Fight On!
But they will not spend a cent to save our economy, women, the poor, or the middle class. They want Holder out because he is investigating their voter surpression.
I bet NRA is behind a lot of it as well.
Rove got executive protection from gw.
Just more obstruction, piled on obstruction, pilled on obstruction.
@Thankful Mom
They also don't want to spend money on paying a livable wage or heath care benefits.
But witch hunts apparently so unfortunately.
YES , the NRA is NOT OUR FRIEND !! They CLAIM the DEMS are ATTACKING the NRA and VOTER 2ND AMMENDMENT RIGHTS !
SHOW ME the VIDEO / BILL / VOTE of ANY DEMS saying ANYTHING about TAKING AWAY GUN RIGHTS !!!
WE99% would LIKE THAT ~CRIMINALS~ DONT HAVE GUNS !!!!!
joca 11, Issa is one of the bad guys, and has a record to prove it.
@TOYBB
interesting video on you tube how Eric Holder thinks people need to be "brainwashed" into thinking negatively about guns.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYyqBxD-3xw
You better believe it's going to BACKFIRE on them.Hopefully it gets them voted OUT of office.If not,then they lose the majority in the house and more in the senate.
Yes and Darrell Issa is insane.And should be placed in Issalation.
Of course it will, it isn't a scandal in the first place, and second started with Bush. But Colbert can explains it much better > http://www.hulu.com/watch/373290?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HuluRecentlyAddedVideos+(Hulu+-+Recently+added+videos)
Amusing Colbert has more news then Fox isn't it and more informed, poor tea bagged republicans just can't win for losing.
This is one more example of why people who watch Comedy Central instead of FOX 'News' are more informed of REALITY rather than 'reality'...
The whole State of Texas is filled with 99% right wingers & haters. They are all grasping for a reason to bring down this great President. They can sure get together to get a contempt resolution together, but they are dividers, not uniters!
Lived in Texas for a couple years. Sounds as tho nothing has changed! Still full of bigots esp. where Hispanics & Blacks are concerned! They hated them way back then & it doesn't sound any better!
The Fast and Furious witch hunt will backfire on Republicans if the mainstream (so called " liberal elite" ) news media actually reports the entire story instead of just echoing the rightwing rhetoric.
@fore hey look out
Yeah but the news sadly is 'lobbied'.
Issa will need to bring his official dunking stool the next time they meet!
Petition/Issa....Be SURE to uncheck boxes that you don't want.
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/hold-darrell-issa-in-contempt-of-congress-and-fire/
Issa likes to compare himself to Danny Thomas since they're both Lebanese, but I like to think of Issa as the Lebanese Sleaze.
thanks for this petition!
@XXX OOO
Done!
Your all doing your country a BIG favor! I gotta get a tissue!
THANK YOU! AGAIN!
Ask not, what a petition can do for you! Ask what a petition, can do to a Teapublican!
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...
Heard the same theory today on PoliticsNation...
It's not that surprising the Committee would hold Holder as holding the Republicans in Congress in contempt...
Their witch hunt has been contemptible...
Then you need to explain the documents that CBS obtained from communications from the ATF talking about what madcow says didn't happen
CBS obtained communications from the ATF talking about what gun dealer they wanted to use in a brief showing how many guns and to whom they was sold to so they push for more gun control. these are the same gun dealer who called the ATF and warned them about these sales and the ATF told them to make the sale and the buyers where criminals who was given tax payer money from the ATF to buy these weapons
Fast and Furious was never about catching criminals they had no intention to track these weapons it was all about setting up gun dealers so the can advocate for more gun control
And we get a true believer.
If you say "conspiracy theory" and "paranoia", Republicans nod in agreement.
@David Johnson
The news is lobbied and according to Dan Rather's latest book he lost his job because of orders from the bush administration directly from the white house he was asked to leave in 2004...So CBS is not as sanctimonious as the trolls think.
That is if the documents actually exist.
TRFjr? Huh? OMG - Did I forget my tinfoil hat? Say what?
TRFjr~~ Fast and Furious was never about catching criminals they had no intention to track these weapons it was all about setting up gun dealers so the can advocate for more gun control.
TRF, The Bush AG, needs to be called to testify, he would be responsible for setting up gun dealers, so they could advocate for more gun control. This deal was set up at the same time as the STAND YOUR GROUND LAW was beginning to be enacted. All of the rabid, radical, republican extremist, elected officials including Wayne LaPierre and everyone on fox propaganda channel, are all, as usual, telling the same lie, "OBAMA'S GONNA TAKE YOUR GUN AND SECOND AMMENDMENT AWAY" and the followers of this gop cult believe, Obama can just take away the second ammendment at his will! The cult wants their followers to remain dumb and dumber.
David, this witch hunt is the brain child of that whack job, Michael Vandenboegh.
The one who a while back told people to throw rocks into windows. Remember him? He's the Alabama nut.
The Republicants are reaching further and further into the "crazy zone" and this should not shock the smart voters! Go Obama 2012!!!
STEVE - You mean to tell me that they're not in the NUTHOUSE yet ?
Yes, this batch of Republicans is absolutely EVIL! Is this ALL Karl Rove?? Don't these EDUCATED Congresspeople realize Rove is a college FLUNKOUT?? No wonder they're trying all this overkill. And they're taking "advice" from him?? In order to figure out their schemes, you HAVE to think like a criminal! I hope we get some sharp sleuths to unravel their filth. How do people like this get to sleep at night?? They MUST take their drugs! And, yes, the alcohol most of them soak in IS a "DRUG". It's actually one of the most physically and mentally harmful drugs on the planet!
Remember the last time the republicans spent 50 million tax dollars to trump up a conspiracy charge on a Democratic president, all they got for their 50 million was a blue stained dress and egg on their face, though the rest of the world had a big laugh at the republicans expense.
Let's not forget Whitewater, an accusation without facts, that was dropped ONE DAY after Clinton was re-elected.
But gosh darn it Star caught Clinton lying to congress about something that had nothing to do with Whitewater. In a court of law that question would have been thrown out because it had nothing to do with the case that Clinton was being questioned on. Cheating on your wife has nothing to do with a criminal case unless the person your cheating with is a part of the case, she wasn't.
Let's not forget all the people charging him with adultery were adulterers themselves.
And cheating on your wife isn't a crime you can be charged with, anyway, so they shouldn't have been allowed to ask the question.
President Obama is a very intelligent man, and he knows the law. Although it remains to be seen, I just don't believe he would compromise his principles or his presidency for any reason. I also must believe the republicans have opened a can of worms that they will soon be wishing they left on the pantry shelf. Time will tell.
Don't expect to see Teacongress to take any action soon because there is no truth to it and will "Be too busy" to act until after the election. But they really do want to expose who blew the whistle so they can detain them!
Hi xxx!!
Please don't let that be true. A non-smoking gun hanging over the election will be a nightmare....more distraction. Can't these people stay on point about anything? Yes they can.....re-distribution of wealth to the top.
Issa should know what covert means.....he's criminal himself. Anything for the party....even outing agents....they don't care. More votes for Willard.
I hope the president can put a time limit on just how long they can D R A G their feet!
HELLO BACK TACOOOooo.....MAAAaaa....!
Inherent contempt
Under this process, the procedure for holding a person in contempt involves only the chamber concerned. Following a contempt citation, the person cited is arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms for the House or Senate, brought to the floor of the chamber, held to answer charges by the presiding officer, and then subjected to punishment as the chamber may dictate (usually imprisonment for punishment reasons, imprisonment for coercive effect, or release from the contempt citation).
Concerned with the time-consuming nature of a contempt proceeding and the inability to extend punishment further than the session of the Congress concerned (under Supreme Court rulings), Congress created a statutory process in 1857. While Congress retains its "inherent contempt" authority and may exercise it at any time, this inherent contempt process was last used by the Senate in 1934, in a Senate investigation of airlines and the U.S. Postmaster. After a one-week trial on the Senate floor (presided over by the Vice-President of the United States, acting as Senate President), William P. MacCracken, Jr., a lawyer and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics who had allowed clients to rip up subpoenaed documents, was found guilty and sentenced to 10 days imprisonment.[5]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_Congress#Inherent_contempt
Seems the Vice President would have some control over this if they decide to proceed!
Anyone with a brain can see the republicans scheming.
That leaves out the ones with the Wigs Bibles and Flintlocks!
That's because they're transparent.
Toss these tea poisoners. Toss them all.
WITCH HUNT??!!?!!
So trying to get answers and find justice for Brain Terry, Jamie Zapata, and over 300 Innocent Mexicans is a witch hunt?
You Democrats are a very sick lot
I think you need to write a letter to the families of Brain Terry, Jamie Zapata, and the hundreds of Mexicans who have been murdered as a resurt of fast and furious
Here i will write it for you
To the Families of Brain Terry Jamie Zapata and the hundreds of Innocent murdered Mexicans
Im sorry about your lose but we will never get answers or find any justice for you murdered love ones because it would be considered a WITCH HUNT if we do. Its more important to protect Eric Holder and Barrack Obama then it is to obtain answers and find justice they are more important then your lose
sincerely the typical Democrat
Oh, BS! It started with Bush and Bush KNEW it was going on and no one said a word. Obama and Holder had no idea what was happening. The Phoenix office of the ATF is more responsible for this than anyone. Try finding the facts before you post and use spell check. You spelled Officer Terry's name wrong TWICE!
TRFjr
You are a typical Non Democrat......
You can't even SPELL Brian Terry right, you call him BRAIN TERRY!!!!! 3 Times!!
Backwoods Hick!!!!
TRF maybe the last President and you can write a letter to all the Families that lost Sons, Daughters, Sisters ,Brothers,Fathers and Mothers that were sent to fight this lie of a 10 Year War.
You need to talk to the thousands of soldiers that where killed in a made up war. IRAQ. Bush and Cheney's baby. Guess thats why their wanted for war crimes in other countries. Research it
I don't think those families would appreciate a politically motivated letter written by a right-winger trying to propagandize for his party.
But I guess they're just people for you to use. The way Issa is.
I heard what Brian Terry's widow said about this witch hunt, and she seems to be against Holder also. It's sad that good people are taken in by people that do not have their best interests at heart. Darrell Issa couldn't care less about her husband. This was never what this circus was about.
Now we know you are a lair Brian Terry didn't have a wife he wasn't married
Maybe it was his girlfriend who just called him her husband or maybe he was gay?
But there's nothing wrong with that...
TRFJr~ I didn't mean to be a "lair". It must have been his mother, but the rest of my statement stands. Unlike Republicans, I will admit when I'm wrong. Something I highly doubt you would ever do.
You @!$%#ing lair!
TRF#18~~Did you conveniently forget, what happened to Ramos and Compean, under the Bush corrupt admin? Did you forget the thousands of our troops that were killed in Bushs' war that was based on lies? Did you forget the lies told to Pat Tillmans' family, about his death and the lies told about Jessica Lynch, by the Bush admin? Now the republicans are lying about Holder and Obama. Lying is what republicans do best.
In a biting letter, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) blasted President George W. Bush and his administration for treating terrorists better than they treat the two convicted Border Patrol agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.
Rep. Rohrabacher called on the Bush administration to conduct a thorough review of the harsh treatment the two decorated border agents are receiving while in solitary confinement.
The popular conservative wrote to President Bush that for 10 months Ramos and Compean have been in conditions more severe than experienced by terrorists held by the US at the Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Rohrabacher told the news media in a statement that he has written a letter to Manhattan federal trial judge Michael Mukasey, Bush's nominee to replace Alberto Gonzales as US Attorney General, demanding that upon confirmation Mukasey conduct an unbiased review of the agents' prosecution.
"Given the close personal relationship between the prosecuting US Attorney Johnny Sutton, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and President Bush, past requests for inquiries into prosecutorial misconduct in this case have been ignored," Rohrabacher claimed in his statement.
"Conflicting statements made by Mr. Sutton during Senate testimony in July and to the press have yet to be clarified," Rohrabacher continued, "and newly obtained information regarding the treatment of the officers in solitary confinement for the last 10 months reveals conditions that are harsh and unnecessarily punitive in nature."

TRFjr
Once again you Backwoods Hick, use spell check it's Liar, not Lair!
MJB in Des Moines has more class than you will ever have, admiting if they are wrong.
Unlike most Republicans, how they twist the truth with lies for their own disgusting gain.
We are the ones who will be hurt.......
I really think we should ban him.
MJB, You really must stop this dreadful lairing! It upsets TRFjr. Tsk Tsk, girl. :)
Ethelouise, I agree.
I know, I just lair, lair, lair all the time! I can't help myself! LOL
ISSA is so ignorant and racist, his sheet is showing!!! We the people know that he's going after the AG because the AG is stopping their Voter Suppression and all the other racist moves the KKK TEA PARTY and GOP are trying to manipulate into the system. We are NOT STUPID.
Jess, Absolutely right! Eric Holder is the vehicle through which they are trying to take down the president. It will fail because it is a bogus conspiracy theory which won't hold water in a sieve.
It will backfire on them for the stupid fools they are to come up with such a ridiculous idea. A twelve year old wouldn't fall for it! We need to rid our congress of these racist, T-party terrorists! Vote them OUT!
I think it already did. The GOP base is stupid enough to take what they say as the absolute truth but the majority of Americans are not. If the GOP really wanted to do what is right they would have done it already.
They already spread out their plan to make sure Obama fails by CAUSING HIM TO FAIL. We are lucky that PBO is very resourceful and has manage to put this country on the positive side of the graphs. And that even with a saboteur congress and with all the persecution this administration have suffered.
Hi afrommi!
This new GOP is quite a bunch. They are electing an un-endorsed, unqualified per the bar, birther judge in San Diego. These ignorant choices the new GOP makes affect us all in the most detrimental ways. Dems need to get *waaaay* tougher to fight this madness. This is how Kreeps get into office.....didn't anyone learn from 2010 ?!?!?!
Dems need to get out the V O T E !! It's our funeral if we don't !
Kathe, Let's provide a list of the 2010 GOP T-party freshman who are mainly responsible for all this mess.
I think if we go back as far as 235 years we will see Fast and Furious and gun trade is as old as dirt. They just want to make it a political and election issue. They are doing as they did with Solyndra and this making a mountain out of mole hill. You would think NRA would want to shut Isa and the Repubs up! They are on witch hunt plain and simple!
