AP uncovers a newer, bigger Obama scandal

It is truly black times for the political right. They must suffer a black-hearted Blackbeard who has blackened their seas by commandeering a Spanish galleon to pirate their birthright.
JLM the term We in this case was referring to those who have only one negative view
of Obama. It was not a collective We in the sense that everyone hates Obama. Leave
that to the voices of doom and gloom..
As for Walter, No didn't sleep through 2010, and the election of 2012 proved that. The
people who matter the (electorate) didn't consider any of the nasty things said to be of
enough Merritt to do anything about the Obama Administration, they in fact re-elected
him for another four years.
People don't care, they want their entitlements and they want a sense of something bigger
than themselves. The political right wing (I should be clear here) the fiscal conservative
right, do understand) does not get it. The Tea Party and the other more fanatical elements
like Anne Coulter think slamming people and digging up scarecrow issues filled with straw
and little else, will distract people long enough to vote against themselves.
Benghazi and a host of other things can happen while any President is in office. In fact the
Bush Administration is littered with them. The difference is the Democrats have learned
how to make the serious ones count and the others to sit on the shelf. Republicans keep
digging up stuff that doesn't matter to the audience, who is the audience?
Immigrants and former refugees, and the disenfranchised. they don't give a damn about
Benghazi. They are happy to be in America with opportunity. They will have social security,
medicare and other programs, they will live much better than the poverty they came from.
The Republicans want to reduce that to a shell or completely. If you want to win you have
to cater to the base and build out. Democrats have done that and planted the seed of
suspicion about Republicans in the minds of the base. All the scandals don't matter.
Only Republican scandals matter in they eyes of the energized and the Democratic base is
energied.

And the right can only attack and insult anyone or anything that does not agree with their agenda of attack and insult.
Funny... you always try to portray yourself as somewhat bipartisan (i.e both sides are corrupt) but you sure come down on the right pretty hard.
Perhaps it's time to step back from the Left/Right divide and kick azz on the losers in Washington and Ottawa and take our f*cking countries back before we lose everything.
Face it; almost evey member here (regardless of political or religious stripe - just to mention a couple of stripes natch) seems to begin debate/discussion with their grown-up, big person words. After a bit though, can come the appearance of the dreaded asterisks, then the attempts to circumvent that censor using symbols or images.
Things seem to go to hell though when the blatant coarse language, the seven words variations and over the top personal insults fly. Seems the pattern I notice (coupled with the degree to which such posts are reported, infractions handed out and such) anyway. That's where pausing before posting can be prudent.
Most of us fall into the sinner category. It's futile for any of us to be pointing fingers whilst donning the technicolor self-righteous dream coat.
I also think most of us realize that.
Y'all just a buncha friggin' wankers at any rate. :lol:
AAhh....those high and mighty ones that pretend neutrality and are above it all sometimes slip up and show their true colours ......non?
And totally progressive.......
Nothing like the view from 10,000 miles away relative to a full scale war and assessing judgment from a safe chair.
Say, what are your thoughts on Benghazi?.... No doubt the result of one of those terrible home-made youtube videos... Wasn't that poor guy thrown in jail for inciting that 'spontaneous riot'?
The FOX news made for political propaganda Benghazi? Come on, that's a crock I itself.
.. Are you saying that Benghazi was never attacked? None of their personnel were murdered? Nothing blamed on a youtube vidoe by some poor sap in LA?
Just a bad rumour, eh?
Yes Benghazi was attacked and more should have been done. There are more pressing
problems in America than Benghazi. Washington State for example is about to close traffic
bridges forever cause do to low taxes and not paying the bills the bridges are beyond repair.
Two choices. Investigate Benghazi or build roads and infrastructure. Most people will
chose to debate how to build roads.
That is only one example. The IRS most people who are not rich and who don't like the Tea
Party are probably quite happy with what happened. After all the Tea Party and others on the
right were opposed to Hispanics. Actually that is not quite fair. Republicans were not opposed
to Hispanics. They were opposed to illegals simply crossing the boarder and using us the
social program resources designed for American Citizens.
Unfortunately they expressed their views in a combative manner that allowed the labels to stick
and now the perception is that they don't like minorities. The Republicans attempted to whip
people into a frenzy and invoke the old ploy of fear. It has backfired. The Democrats don't use
fear they imply it. They don't state Republicans hate minorities, they merely facilitate the
false belief already there. They are gaining the vast majority of the vote they need and ignore
the issue or re-enforce the belief already instilled in the their supporters. Now its, if you listen
to the voices of the Tea Party which happens to be the new Republican Party you will lose all
your benefits and they will invoke measures against you because of who you are. All implied
never spoken. Republicans keep dragging up new stuff the new majority doesn't care about
and they look even worse. Republicans have a long road ahead if they don't smarten up.
Right now to criticise is to lose plain and simple.

Just after you finish the 5th grade.
That's precisely what they are - and their defenders, too
I think in some ways you are right. Conservatives really don't have a real stake in the success of the United States of America any more. It's really no longer their country.
What do the USA and the Soviet Union have in common?
