It doesn't take an Einstein to see the Tea Pot Party has blown itself off the stove this time. They keep trying to paint us stupid, like we don't remember who started this whole mess, Bush and Cheney. Beside even the NRA has overplayed their hand, we tire of hearing only from one side that Obama wants to take our guns. Frankly, I wish he would.
I don't think so !!!! You have more gun owners out here than you think of and some of them would rather be dead than give up their guns and I am one of them. So I say you're WRONG on that one.
We all have GUNS.
Why trade brains for guns?
Aren't human beings able to deal with conflict in ways other than at the point of a gun?
God help us all!
Just another way to divert attention from Romney and the more important issues and to try to make Obama look bad. Bush has his name written all over it. The investigation needs to be open fully starting from day ONE. Day ONE was when Bush was in office.

War Crimes
The UN’s Rome Statute which defines war crimes also brought into being the International Criminal Court (ICC). President Clinton signed the agreement on December 31, 2000, but on May 6, 2002, shortly before the statute was to go into effect, President George W. Bush “nullified” Clinton’s signature and declared that the U.S. would no longer be a party to, nor accept jurisdiction of, the ICC. It is now clear why – Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, “enhanced interrogation techniques,” extraordinary rendition to torture, and enforced disappearance of suspects in secret prisons without trial or legal recourse. These are all war crimes in spite of the Bush administration’s twisted logic that legalized practices we have condemned since World War II. Bush, Cheney, Tenet, Rumsfeld, all are unindicted war criminals.
Barack Obama the Candidate, pledged to end all this; however, none of his predecessor’s policies have been clearly or effectively reversed, including his quiet refusal to re-sign the Rome Statute or come under the jurisdiction of the ICC. Instead, Obama the President continues to hold prisoners indefinitely without trial in Guantanamo Bay, continued extraordinary rendition at least as late as July 2009, and continues to pursue wars of aggression in ever more insidious and immoral ways – through extra-judicial assassinations using unmanned drones, CIA operatives and small teams of Special Forces in countries with which we are not at war – Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, et. al. Extra-judicial assassinations are a category of willful killing, a war crime. Indefinite detention in Guantanamo Bay without a trial is a war crime. Barack Obama is as guilty of war crimes as Bush, as Cheney, as Rumsfeld, as Tenet.

Until such time that the President ends his own involvement it won't happen. As he is also guilty. So now we know the REAL reason why the Teatards wanted NO trails no US soil.
Gitmo is being turned into a getaway for the Taliban. So there is a big difference between Obama and Cheney....one uses warterboarding and torture and get no information. The other will treat them like humans and with a velvet glove...we shall see what happens and if they are more willing to cooperate and think about this, What happens when word of this gets back to their countries of origin. It just may make them think twice about who is and who is not the REAL ENEMY here.
Its so obvious...as plain as day...what the repugs are up to....people are sic of it...they are destroying themselves & its going to backfire.
Absolutely it will backfire on the Repub's. Issa opened pandora's box, he thought he knew what was inside. Surprise empty. Now plan B, hold Holder in contempt. Maybe a thank you to Issa for helping to take the Repub congress further down the cesspool.
The GOP is at it again. They'll do anything to bring down the Obama Adminstration. Mr. President get comfortable, the White House is yours.
Sir John Dalberg-Acton once said: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" - "repuGlicans" should keep drinking these "power" drug....in due season - it will surely blow up in their faces.
I hold Mr. Issa and the rest of the House in CONTEMPT!!
so how can we as AMERICAN CITIZENS go about holding the repukes in contempt? i would really like to know
me too!!!!!
This whole idea that the president is trying to take their guns away as part of Fast and Furious makes the republicans look totally nuts. And they are repeating it out there so everyone will hear this. The independents in this country will be running away from republican crazies in droves.
The ONLY goal is to try to discredit the President. The republicans insist that no laws apply to them.
The republican mantra is get rid of Obama. Deregulate , obfuscate, bow to money. Profit above all. Eliminate all that is not Corporate. Use religious fervor to further destroy America.
I watched Mitt's speech today in front of the Hispanic conference...It was a very quite audience, maybe two or three claps from the audience...President Obama speaks in front of the same crowd tomorrow...I'm sure the audience will be on fire, I'll be watching...they sure weren't fired up with Mitt.. It was borderline embarrassing for him today...lol-he didn't know what to talk about and he didn't mention the words "self-deportation" or electric fences....I wonder why? lol He sure said those words in front of his base.
I watched it too. I could swear I heard crickets. I'm going to watch the President speak tomorrow night and I'll bet my bottom dollar the reception he gets will be much more impressive. I sure hope Omit will be watching, too.
Did not watch Mitt today as every time I hear his voice or see his face, I get violently sick to my stomach! His sick lies are soooo obvious!
At what point does obstructionism rise to the level of malfeasance or even treason?
Edward Murdoch is to FOX is what Joesph Goebbels is to Nazi propaganda!
Petition/End FOXs Propaganda machine!

The Repugnicans will win this one, too. They have so many stupid followers because Fox News has infested the media. If we're lucky, most people will see through this ploy. But judging from previous elections and poll results, half or more of the constituency will fall for the Right's lies.
Fool me once shame on you fool me twice,well you can't fool me again.Apparently you can be if your head is stuck up your rear.
We had better work very hard to open the rights eyes before the elections! Unfortunately you could be correct but please don't quote gwb.
This whole drama that is playing out in the Country is Because an African American is in the White House Emphasis on White.I don't wish to offend the Great White Americans that voted for the President.I myself didn't vote for him as a Black Man,my reason is the climate in this Country right now as a result of his Inauguration.I have been sadden on many occasions about the role of Black Americans,Affirmative Action,EEOC.Things that were put in Place not to take away jobs as I have been insulted with on more then one experience but to allow those with the necessary skills to better themselves.I heard it in the sixties I hear it now.His nomination and subsequent election and inauguration exposes what we Black Americans Have been saying all along.Nothings over but we are expected to forget even though its not forgotten,in fact its reenacted as a Historical reference but the animus is still there.I wish I was in the Land of Cotton,old time there are not forgotten look away look away Dixie Land.
SIMPSON - I am a white man and voted for OBAMA.Mind you I am registered as an INDEPENDENT when it comes to voting because I vote for the person not the party.The reason why I didn't vote republican is because of who they had for a VP candidate and how STUPID she was.If it would have been someone else,then I might have voted for the republicans.Otherwise,I voted DEMOCRAT on the last one and will on the next because ROMNEY is just as STUPID as Palin if not WORST.
Ted I am a Registered Republican and a fellow Vietnam Service Veteran I don't vote Alon Party Line I vote based on Policies.I didn't vote For McCain because he chose a Brick for a running Partner.I quote someone else she's nuttier then squirrel turd.I am just tired of the overt Racism in America,it demeans us all.Blacks by dictionary Definition can not be Racist.by definition a racist is someone who by virtue of race believes themselves to be superior and uses that superiority to rule over any or a particular group of people deemed to be inferior,Blacks in America have never ruled over any one White.However I will not absolve Black America from being Bigots and Prejudice in some cases but the minority always follows the lead of the majority,I appreciate your response and that we could talk like Adults should which many in our Great Country no longer seem to be capable of.Take care and be blessed my friend.
SIMPSON - SEMPER FI,I did my time in the MARINE CORPS back in the early 80's and survived the Beirut Lebanon bombing of the barracks back in 1983.My dad did 4 tours over in VIETNAM during the 60's / 70's like you did so I salute you for your service and expect the same back.But there is a few things I have against your race compared to mine, 1) you got a darker tan than me 2) when we came out of the "oven",you came out well done where I came out raw 3) If we were still in the military and had to go out on a nightly commando raid,I would have to put on black makeup were you don't. But all I got to say is you better not get no $hit eating grin across your face or you might give us away and if you do,I would have to slap you sillier than you already are.SEMPER FI
who cares about all those Mexicans that were beaten, raped, and chopped to pieces.
I know because my friend said that is what happened to her husband trying to come to America. There were children that was done to them too. The GOP is nothing but blood money mongers. Sorry guy's yet no one says any thing about this!
Who in the hell did this? Fast and Furious......Or those that protect the borders. Look President Reagan gave 3.millions amnesty. He was a (R) Where are the (R)?
They changed their name from republican to REICHPUBLICAN is what happened.
the gop is only interested in catering to their rich benefactors and not representing the 99%. I hope this witch hunt which cronyn also tied to voter suppression blows up in the gop face. calling my NONrepresentatives, paul ryan and ron johnson, is pointless--have had their offices actually terminate the call because I was calmly asking why they are not focusing on jobs. the gop is NOT representing us. I hate to break it to the gop but they cannot take their money/power with them. the gop would rather flush our country down the toilet than to actually sit down, negotiate and compromise. the gop would make a misbehaving toddler blush and turn away in shame. people are well aware of the FACT that the gop is determined to undermine any effort to improve our economy, jobs and country.
Kathy, there is a Catholic nun touring around behind Ryan making sure all his followers know that his statements about being a strong Catholic are FALSE, as Christ would never have taken from the poor to give to the rich! His speeches/actions are anything but Christian!
Petition/Student Loans....the Teapublicans haven't yet done a single thing to help this country. What a bunch of SLUGS! If the bill isn't passed by June 30th its time is up!

I certainly hope so! The only one's to believe Repubs are crooks or the uneducated people like. For instance Mr. Issa. He is a crook and has a criminal record. It's pretty pathetic when something like that can infiltrate our system but what else can you expect from a REPUB! What a joke he is. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he called President Obama corrupt on Faux Fox. What a freak show performance he gave. He is not Statesmen material as most Repubs aren't, especially these days. Given his criminal background he should never have been allowed to run for ANY political office.
What we have here Educated is a failure to communicate,Darrell Issa is one of the richest if not the richest person in Congress worth more then Mitt Romney estimated worth 156 to 451 million dollars (yahoo search) and working class Republicans think they have their interest at heart.If Romney wins boy are they gonna be upset at the screwing they are going to get.Course it will be to late so they might as well bend over and enjoy it for the hookers they are.
