We can’t have the voters making an informed decision, after all.

  3. “We can’t have the voters making an informed decision, after all.”

    In point of fact, we can now make an informed decision, and the election can be a referrendum on Obama’s planned unconstitutional activities.

    Obama and the Democrats are currently involved in human trafficking on a massive scale (human trafficking is a felony, by the way).

    Voters now know that if Democrats keep control of the Senate, millions of llegal aliens will be given full-time jobs … instead of being deported, which is what the law requires.

    So it’s pretty simple: If you elect Democrats, expect to have millions of illegal aliens flooding the labor market, competing for your job, and suppressing your wage potential.

    Republicans should begin airing ads, warning Americans what is to come if Democrats remain in power and urge Americans to put them out of office.

  4. An informed decision?
    Are you talking about the voters who put this POS in the Oval-office, twice?

  5. We need to raise the minimum wage so that the illegal immigrant that Obama is going to unconstitutionally grant amnesty to can earn a living wage, or something, because of the immigrants rights clause of of the constitution contained in Article whatchamacallit that contains the Thin Air provisions.

  10. Silly you. You weren’t really expecting integrity from a shady community organizer with a history of unsavory associations with racist hate preachers and convicted domestic terrorists. Remember, this is the snake oil salesman who salted his campaign rallies with swooning fillies and who claimed his election would stem the rising tides and heal the earth’s wounds. He even said it with a straight face.

    Why, so wonderful was the prospect of his coming among us, Teh One was even awarded a Nobel Prize in mere anticipation of splendid deeds and wonders not yet revealed. He sold Hope and Change, he promised a better life, but he delivered an oppressive federal government, economic malaise, unconscionable debt, food stamps, death panels, and crashed hard drives.

    I’ve had quite enough of Barack Obama, I don’t want him, you can have him, he’s too corrupt for me.

  11. Whatever we do, please God, let’s not win a few elections and then pass a bunch of broad laws so we can “get” the Libs the next time they get elected in sufficient numbers. If what Obama has done is illegal, then the fault of his not being called on it is split between the Republicans and the media. The Republicans can either get some sand, or they can’t and will be replaced. The media isn’t fixable until Conservatives, Libertarians, and others who don’t buy The Established Narrative buy some damn media outlets and put their positions out there. Whining about “Media Bias” Just. Doesn’t. Cut. It. Of COURSE the media is biased. Get your own bias out there; don’t just expect people with their own biases to come get it from you.

    But I have watched the political process (with emotions ranging from wry amusement to downright nausea) since Nixon. In that time I have see far too many laws written so we can “get” people we are sure are guilty, and the vast majority of them have proven to be far more serious threats to the commonweal than the bad people they were written to “get”.

    C. S. P. Schofield (e8b801)

  12. Election to public office doesn’t qualify as an exemption from criminal prosecution, we don’t need to pass a bunch of broad laws so we can “get” anyone. All we need to do is enforce the laws already on the books equally. That means Democrat law breakers going to jail same as Republican law breakers.

    ropelight (621dc1)

  13. Ropelight;

    I couldn’t agree more. But what I’ve seen, cycle after cycle, is crusading nitwits passing laws that should have been allowed to die in committee. Laws intended to “solve” problems that exist because of lack of enforcement of the laws we have, or that add one more layer of laws to a pile that shouldn’t exist because the intent is unenforceable (se War On Drugs). There is too much godsdamned law. And I’m scared that it will be enough trouble to bring Obama and his cronies to book that some fool will propose a bunch of laws intended to make it easier to reign in a President, but which will effectively geld the office. Remember, the day will come when we have one of our own in the White House; it would be nice if it were still legal for him to have a policy on something more important than, say, school lunch programs.

    Silly MG. You know as wall as I that Preznit 404 will provide all from his stash. Much as the free mortgage, the free phone, and the free healthcare, it’ll be free goats for anyone who qualifies.

    Bill H (f9e4cd)

  15. Just like when he told the Russians he would have more freedom after the election.

    AZ Bob (34bb80)

  16. it’s so sad but this amnesty thing is pretty much the sum total of what this obama loser’s got going on these days

    you wanted to be president why again food stamp?

    happyfeet (a785d5)

  17. Make him deny his intentions, or evade the question, over and over and over before the election. Put Dem senators on the spot, asking them if the President is lying, would they or their constituents stand for it. Make this effing STINK.

    Kevin M (b357ee)

  18. He’s already inacted and the RNC and Chamber of Commerce are with him.

  19. C. S. P. Schofield #13 – and how many of these “crusading nitwits passing laws that should have been allowed to die in committee” are from which parties ?

    How many of these laws have been passed during Democrat control of Congress and how many during Republican control of Congress ? Absent those numbers, such an assertion is the utterance of a “useful idiot” …content to sow doubt, disension, and despair amongst conservatives – even after we have seen it getting Pres’ent Obama elected a second time …

    (Typed with all due respect)

    Alastor (2e7f9f)

  20. C. S. P. Schofield is directly on target.

    Far too much of conservative punditry in the United States consists of bitching about the media, as if that would be effective.

    It won’t. The media has no shame, and is unbiased. As Glenn Reynolds points out, they’re Democrat Party operatives with bylines. And that’s nothing new. Also, last time I chekced, this was a free country with a free press. It’s perfectly OK for the “media” to be Democrats with bylines.

    They went out and bought newspapers, something Republicans won’t do becuase “newspapers are a dying business. As if a newspaper is a business or something.

    Newspapers are investments. Not businesses. Liberals don’t buy newspapers because they’re great businesses. They buy newspapers because that’s where the power is.

    There is nothing wrong with liberal bias in the news. It exists because Republicans have ceded that ground foolishly. I’ll start taking Republicans seriously the first time an entire newsroom is laid off following the purchase of a newspaper by a conservative.

  23. Obama thinks, or says, it would be much better to enact a law with Republican support. That way it would not be an issue. This is the third rail of American polictics.

    When he concludes agreement with the Republicans is hopeless, and he maybe knows this already, but is fending off criticism, he would set up a big big problem for the republican candidate for president in 2016.

    The candidate will either have to agree to continue any suspensions of deportations that Obama has authorized, or not. The Democratic candidate may be able to evade this issue by sayinbg Congress will enact a law that will include this, but the Republican candidate will not be able to say such a thing.

  24. #21, someguy, if George W Bush had been willing to prosecute the Clintons and their criminal cabal of co-conspirators the nation wouldn’t be suffering under Obama’s malevolent heel today. And, it’s not OK for biased Democrats with by-lines to masquerade as objective journalists, but since that particular form of dishonesty isn’t illegal our remedies are limited to rejecting their corrupt products and exposing their deceits.

    Yet, you blame Republicans and give crooked Democrats a free pass. What’s up with that?

    ropelight (13f5a8)

  25. “you blame Republicans and give crooked Democrats a free pass. What’s up with that?”

    Because I believe that Republicans are complicit in Democrat corruption. Refusing to uphold our laws (Bush not prosecuting the Clinton cabal, for example) creates the environment where corurption floruishes.

    someguy, if George W Bush had been willing to prosecute the Clintons and their criminal cabal of co-conspirators the nation wouldn’t be suffering under Obama’s malevolent heel today.

    Before he could do that, he had to know they were guilty.

    Now maybe he was negligent in not investigating things.

    But somebody has to have an idea first.

  27. someguy, if you specified the GOP establishment instead of Republicans then I’d find less to disagree about.

    ropelight (13f5a8)

  28. Because I believe that Republicans are complicit in Democrat corruption. Refusing to uphold our laws (Bush not prosecuting the Clinton cabal, for example) creates the environment where corurption floruishes.

    You’re ignoring a third group that’s just as guilty, if not more so, than Obama, other Democrat officials and front-office Republicans. I say that with even greater (and also very regrettable) confidence, based on polls that show that Obama Part 2 (ie, Hillary Clinton) generates far more sympathy and support than such a disreputable, dishonest, dogmatic person like her deserves—regardless of whether that can be characterized as very late or very early in the game.

    The US jumped the shark in November 2008 (if not before), and this country’s history from here on out will always be smeared and soiled by that.

    cbsnews.com, August 15, 2014: The good news for Hillary Clinton in a new McClatchy-Marist poll is that she’s still ahead of all of her potential Republican challengers in a hypothetical 2016 presidential match-up. The bad news is that her lead has shrunk – and quickly – as her book tour and other public events have carried her back into the center of the political fray.

    In the new survey, the former secretary of state outpaces Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., by seven points, 48 to 41 percent. Against former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Clinton holds on to a seven point lead, 48 to 41 percent. And matched against Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Clinton earns 48 percent to Paul’s 42 percent…

    Before any of the Republicans can take the fight to Clinton, though, they have to emerge from their own primary scrum – and according to this new poll, that’s going to be no small feat.

    “The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

    The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.”

    And it’s now pretty much a given (regardless of who’s in the White House) that the US in upcoming decades will increasingly resemble that of a nation like Mexico, both demographically and politically. So it truly is going to be more and more a ship of fools.

  29. Sammy, everyone with the brains of a popsicle stick knew the Clintons were guilty of numerous crimes and anyone who didn’t know it was either born yesterday or was turning their head and pretending they just couldn’t see. Whitewater, Casa Grande, Madison Savings and Loan, the rape of Juannita Broaddrick, the murders of 2 boys on the train tracks, the murder of Jerry Parks, cocaine trafficking at Mena airport, the strange death of Vincent Foster, Hillary’s billing records, Travelgate, Filegate, systematic obstruction of justice, witness tampering, perjury, selling US missile technology to the ChiComs, Sandy Burglar, cash payoffs to pardon Mark Rich and big time drug dealers, and on, and on, and on, till the stench of corruption got so bad and reached so high Uncle Sam wept for the nation and angels in heaven cried out in disgust.

    Hey Sam, answer me this:

    Which Republican presidential contender has made it quite clear that the Democrats who have been committing crimes for the last 6 years will be investigated, prosecuted and jailed should they ever have the chance to appoint United States attorney’s?

    None of them. That’s who.

    We know Democrat crimes are being committed. Right now. Obstruction of justice, murder … everything you can think of.

    And not a single Republican has said they’ll investigate these people and prosecute them.

    Bill Clinton made a great effort to befriend the Bush family, and I think that helped.

    President Jokes About ‘New Brother’ Clinton

    January 30, 2006 |From Reuters

    WASHINGTON — President Bush says Bill Clinton has become so close to his father that the Democratic former president is like a family member.

    Former President George H.W. Bush has worked with Clinton to raise money for victims of the tsunami in the Indian Ocean and Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast.

    Asked about his father and Clinton, Bush quipped, “Yes, he and my new brother.”

    He added: “That’s a good relationship. It’s a fun relationship to watch.”

    Bush’s comments were in an interview with CBS News broadcast Sunday…

    I guess W falls into the category of turnibg their head away

    Whitewater, Casa Grande, Madison Savings and Loan, the rape of Juannita Broaddrick, the murders of 2 boys on the train tracks, the murder of Jerry Parks, cocaine trafficking at Mena airport, the strange death of Vincent Foster, Hillary’s billing records, Travelgate, Filegate, systematic obstruction of justice, witness tampering, perjury, selling US missile technology to the ChiComs, Sandy Burglar, cash payoffs to pardon Mark Rich and big time drug dealers, and on, and on, and on, till the stench of corruption got so bad and reached so high Uncle Sam wept for the nation and angels in heaven cried out in disgust.

    Not all of these are good examples. Some of these were past the statute of limitations (the cocaine trafficking at the Mena Airport happened in the 1980s!)

    And you left out the most glaring one of all: the Waco fire. And the TWA 800 investigation,. But you have to know taht there’s something there to start an investigation.

    Yes, George W. Bush was disappointing in this way.

    By the way, the Waco fire is not at all past the statute of limitations. Or the Oklahoma bombing. (there’s that key to a safe deposit box in Hot Springs, Arkansas that Terry Nichols had, supposedly stolen in a supposed robbery that neither Terry Nichols nor Timothy McVeigh could have committed.)

    I don’t think Clinton planned the murder of Vincent Foster, and if he had he would not have gotten so many of his people to participate in a cover-up, since he wasn’t like Stalin.

    None of them. That’s who.

    Correct,

    We know Democrat crimes are being committed. Right now. Obstruction of justice, murder … everything you can think of.

    I can see obstruction of justice – with the IRS scandal – although the obstruction of justice might be legal there, or very hhard to prove – but what do you mean by murder? I mean we’re talking about the Obama Administration, not the Clinton Administration.

    You surely don’t mean the terrorists, or perceived terrorists at war with the United States, whom Obama killed outside the United States.

    Fast and Furious? That’s is mostly cover-up of letting drug gangs get guns.

    And not a single Republican has said they’ll investigate these people and prosecute them

    Maybe they should at least promise to release all the records, and co-operate with all investigations, except that many records get destroyed at the close of an administration, and the rest carted off.

    does #Benghazi mean anything to you, you willfully blind mendoucheous twatwaffle? maybe “Extortion 17”? lots of innocent blood to go around on this corrupt crowd, and lots of willfully useless idiots to pretend they’ve done nothing wrong, which puts said blood on them as well.
