Gotta love Republicans

In a House that hasn't had a single accomplishment in four years, they find another angle to try to repeal Obamacare

 

[Sallow]

This is a huge gift to Democrats.

Hopefully they exploit it to the fullest.

Although impeachment, which will happen if the Republicans get their numbers, would have been better.

Democrats need to pound House Republicans on what they have refused to vote on and the impact it has had on the country

Glad to see our nation's system of checks and balances being exercised. Obama certainly needs to be reined in and kept "in his place." He's not a king nor should he be a dictator. He's a servant of the People of the United States and needs to be reminded of that. Hope this entire thing has a happy ending for everyone.

Heck, the right wingers are merely been keeping the Socialist Beast at bay, until 2017.

If they keep the House, and re-take the Senate, later this year, they may try the Impeachment route again.

Lord knows, Obumble has given them enough ammo, in connection with Executive Orders as end-runs around Congress, etc.

Valid or not... legitimate or not... well-motivated or not... if you give your Opposition enough ammunition while you're busy pissing them off... at some point, they're gonna make a move on you.

Frankly, given the mood that the country is in, Congress might actually score some points on their own behalf, by going after the POTUS, whose numbers are also on Skid Row at the moment.

Obama's abuse of power would earn him an impeachment under any other circumstances.

Why don't they sue the repubs?

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

This is good news! Time to put that assclown and his band of merry nuts in checkmate.

What grounds?

Targeting and killing at least four Americans without due process.

You can say the same for the senate.

But, of course, you won't.

Republicans have to pound the Senate dictator Harry Reid for his obstruction of the legislative process.

And this isn't that.

Congress is packed with folks from Gerrymandered districts who's interest is in minority rule. Additionally the Senate gives equal weight to states with very small populations and states with very high populations. Add in the electoral congress hardly guarantees that a President who has the backing of the majority of the American people will assume office.

Conservatives have put a strangle hold on the government. And now they are engaged in a completely unprecedented and patently ridiculous move.

They are suing the President for issuing an executive order on a delay they wanted in the first place.

This will be laughed out of court.

Meanwhile? They are going on vacation.

 

[Freewill]

Let me ask everyone. How does Congress stop a president that they feel is overstepping his power? What vehicle do they have? Do we just wait out 4 years and hope that the voters know enough about the situation to vote out the President? Certainly with the state of the economy during the last election NO president should have been reelected. So what is congress to do, short of impeachment? I think challenging the president in court is the way to go. Let the law suit play out, nothing will happen, and the Republicans will be futile in their attempt to rein in the President. Then the left can laugh because they got away with it again.

Obama and the Dems took office, January 20th, 2009 and proceeded to act in basically the same manner as the Vandals and the Goths did when they sacked Rome. The catapulting of Bubonic plague infested corpses over the city's walls was deferred until January, 2014.

Yeah dude.

Continue your defense and mourning of the terrorist Awlaki.

That really looks great.

Damn you sound like an LP with a scratch the same song over and over.

First you will crow about how the Republicans can't win elections.

Then you will crow about how many democrats have won the presidency.

Then you will claim that the Republicans control everything.

WTF can't you come up with something, anything, new?

(BTW, a LP is a vinyl version of a CD)

Yes because like the Vandals and Goths..

The Democrats restored the Financial Industry, saved the Auto Industry, saved American Jobs, brought manufacturing back to American shores, restored all the jobs, both in the private and public sectors, lost in the Bush financial meltdown...and totally in the private sector.

Oh wait. The Goths and Vandals didn't do that. In fact..those Goths and Vandals resemble what the Bush administration did to the Clinton economy.

This simply confirms that Republicans care nothing for Americans.
