Way to go Harry! Filibuster deal reached.

[bodecea]

Dirty Harry Reid strikes again. Too bad he didn't die in that automobile accident. That would have been a national tragedy.

Hey! Is that Karma I see standing right behind you?

Isn't that irony standing next to you?

 

[MeBelle]

Sure.

First off Cordray is a very competent executive with respect from both sides of the aisle.

And second, Republicans were trying to kill the Consumer Protection Bureau by leaving it leaderless.

This is actually a big win for everyone.

INCLUDING Republicans.

NOT!

Cordray was recess appointed in January 2012 which would have kept him there through 2013.

Why did Obama re-nominate Cordray in Jan 2013?

 

[MeBelle]

…there was no justification for blocking Cordray in the first place…

There was no justification to block the vast majority of Obama’s nominees in the first place – being nominated by a democratic president is not ‘justification.’

Really?
Then why did Obama have to renominate Cordray in January 2013?

Come back with an honest answer.

Well, Obama illegally appointed Cordray, and the Republicans called him on it. But when Harry had enough, he was going to break the law for his master to get his cronies into the bureaucracy.

Joseph Stalin, Karl Marx, and Che Guevara were already dead.

McCain gave away the friggin store again.

Why doesn't he just jump over the Democrat side instead of pretending to be a Republican?

Anything involving John McCain is guaranteed to be a disaster for America. Just like John McCain was a disaster for the USS Forrestal, he has been an even bigger disaster for America. The only difference is, instead of firing rockets into the deck of the Forrestal, McCain is now firing rockets into the deck of America. Between John McCain and Lyndsey Graham, it would be tough to decide which one is the Benedict Arnold of today....might need to flip a coin.

Prove it

B-I-N...sort of...

More like Reid was CYA'ing. He is the Big Bad Wolf.

See how quickly many forgot?

Prove it

Be careful what you ask for....you might just get it:

From the USS Forestal Museum web site:

At 10:52 A.M. on July 29, the second launch was being readied when a Zuni rocket accidentally fired from an F-4 Phantom parked on the starboard side of the flight deck aft of the island. The missile streaked across the deck into a 400 gallon belly fuel tank on a parked A-4D Skyhawk. The ruptured tank spew highly flammable JP-5 fuel onto the deck which ignited spreading flames over the flight deck under other fully loaded aircraft ready for launch. The ensuing fire caused ordinance to explode and other rockets to ignite. Spread by the wind, the flames engulfed the aft end of the stricken ship turning the flight deck into a blazing inferno.. Berthing spaces immediately below the flight deck became death traps for fifty men, while other crewmen were blown overboard by the explosion

From the Rock Creek Free Press:

It is believed by many crewmen and those who have investigated the case that McCain deliberately “wet-started” his A-4E to shake up the guy in the plane behind his A-4. “Wet-starts”, done either deliberately or accidentally, shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft.

In McCain’s case, the “wet-start” apparently “cooked off” and launched the Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that touched off the explosions and massive fire. The F-4 pilot was reportedly killed in the conflagration. “Wet starting” was apparently a common practice among young “hot-dog” pilots.


Yep, John McCain trying to be a maverick then killed 134 crew members and injured 161 others.

So we should just allow Obama to appoint whomever he wishes? Even Bush didn't get that kind of treatment.

Heavens Clayton, you are such a hypocrite.

Yes he is.

As I recall the Dems blocked just about everyone Bush wanted to appoint.

I'm sure the Dems will be screaming like stuck pigs the next time a Rep is POTUS.

More proof the Pubs are no longer the party needing my support. Reinforces my firing them years ago as they took the path of demise

They played Russian Roulette with 6 rounds in the wheel

We need a purging of epic proportions

I am in no way a fan of McCain. But that doesn't excuse telling lies about him. That Forrestal story was disproven years ago.

The NLRB people were nominated 4 days prior to Obama's unconstitutional recess appointments.

Corday's hold was because the Democrats pushed that through as a group unaccountable to anyone, including Congress. Since that agency never existed before, nothing was being held up.

It is still unaccountable.

How does wishing for his death accomplish anything other than make you a murderer in your heart?

This is another example of why I left the Republican party. Actually one side wishing death on the other was kind of the last straw.

I'm not a republican, and Harry Reid is one of the most corrupt people on the planet. And I didn't wish death on him, more like, what a relief that would have been. Sort of like the Henry Kissingers and Dick Cheney's of the world who have brought misery and death to millions and get accolades for it at fund raising events. Fat, happy, and they never seem to keel over. The world would be better without them. Sorry if I caused offense but that is the way I feel.

Does not constitute proof.

I wonder how many of the mentioned crewmen were of the many that tested positive for marijuana
