Boehner: Obama team wants to "annihilate" the GOP

[wetech]

Waaaaahhhhh!!!!!!

Hey John remember when Obama took office? You party had as it's #1 goal not to get the country back on its feet but see that Obama fails. A failing President would not be good for the country but you guys didn't care about that.

you might want to check your facts about that.

The interview was in Oct 2010, right before the mid-terms, not when Obama took office. The quote about a one term Obama was in reference to the elections:

McConnell: We need to be honest with the public. This election is about them, not us. And we need to treat this election as the first step in retaking the government. We need to say to everyone on Election Day, “Those of you who helped make this a good day, you need to go out and help us finish the job.”

NJ: What’s the job?

McConnell: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.

McConnell then went on specifically to say that he didn't want Obama to fail, but listen to the public and compromise with the Republicans on the big issues.

NJ: Does that mean endless, or at least frequent, confrontation with the president?

McConnell: If President Obama does a Clintonian backflip, if he’s willing to meet us halfway on some of the biggest issues, it’s not inappropriate for us to do business with him.

NJ: What are the big issues?

McConnell: It is possible the president’s advisers will tell him he has to do something to get right with the public on his levels of spending and [on] lowering the national debt. If he were to heed that advice, he would, I imagine, find more support among our conference than he would among some in the Senate in his own party. I don’t want the president to fail; I want him to change. So, we’ll see. The next move is going to be up to him.

FTFY

Here is some proof

Nothing in those videos suggests a coverup by the MSM. Hell, the first video is about the very real protests that were happening at the time - you seem forget that our Egyptian Embassy was greeted by protestors angry over this video, protestors who attacked that embassy on Sept 11th (Same day as Benghazi). Millions of Muslims all over the world were protesting this video - you can't pretend that this never happened.

Again - why are you unable to accept that it took the entire intelligence community a little while determine that these two events (Terrorist attack on Benghazi and and the global violence cause by Muslim protests) were indeed parallel individual incidents? Any reasonable person would have linked the two - it wasn't until the dust settled that we were able to determine they were separate. That is it - nothing more, nothing less.

The second links are clearly biased new sources.

Coverup not found.

I think you are confusing motive in this comparison. After Newton, people have certainly been trying their best to come up with ways to prevent another similar tragedy from happening. Regardless if their solutions are flawed, there is honest and substantive reason behind it.

With Bengazi, there is not.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH

So, when the gun grabbers exploit a tragedy for their political agenda, it's because "there is an honest and substantive reason behind it", even if there's not a shred of evidence that any of their schemes would be beneficial in any way. If there are legitimate questions about the lies from the white house about a tragedy, then it's because those asking the questions must not be decent human beings. What color is the moon in your world? :biggrin::biggrin:

What we are witnessing is an all-out attempt to use these failures as a political weapon - the pony show and fake outrage they had yesterday is perfect proof of it.

And that's different than exploitation of the newtown tragedy? Nope, it's actually not nearly as bad, because those who want to exploit newtown seek to curb our rights as citizens. Those asking questions about Bengazi are not looking to curb your rights as citizens.

Once again, thanks for perfectly backing my point.

Hey, while were piling on, how bout all those Marines killed in Lebanon and then the big CUT and RuN while St. Ronnie was in charge.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

[Atreus21]

Decent human beings don't try to use these tragedies to advance political agendas.

Uh, that's pretty much politicians' bread and butter dude.

 

[BoberFett]

It's the old smear and fear/doom and gloom shtick that keeps the Repub base locked in their basements until it's time to vote Repub again. The ones that believe this stuff are always somber, moody and incessantly bitch about how bad things are and how good things used to be, while the ones that are smart enough to know better keep spreading it around to feed the need. Works every time.

Without this form of propagandistic control, the Repub party would exclusively consist of a bunch of angry old white men shaking their canes and fists at the world, defiant to the very end.

As an aside, now that the Repubs have gerrymandered their way into minority control over many states, I'd sure like to see what they come up with to scam the ethnic minority voters over to their side.

This thread is hilarious. Democrats are describing themselves just a few short years ago.

EVERYTHING IS BOOSHES FAULT!!!! BOOSH IS TRYING TO DESTROY AMERICA!!!!

Now that a Democrat is in the White House, they can't believe what's coming out of the mouths of their opponents, despite the fact that they're no different.

The mental gymnastics that the partisan shitheads who make up these kind of forums go through is nothing short of amazing.

You are a fool if you think any question asked by Republicans yesterday was in good faith. They did nothing but ask the same questions that have already been answered a million times by the administration and Defense Dept. Their attempt was not to cover new ground, but to shame the a member of the administration who has not only accepted responsibility months ago, but already implemented safeguards to prevent this from happenings again.

They were not legitimate. Now back on subject - we are not discussing Newtown.

 

[BoberFett]

Newtown. The left responded to Newtown by pushing for an examination of gun control laws and how they can be changed to try to prevent these tragedies from occurring again. At no point did the left attempt to place blame on members of the right for this tragedy occurring.

Partisan blinders. The left immediately jumped to blaming the NRA, gun nuts, conservatives, and everyone else they hate. You're just too horribly blind to see your side for what it is: a mirror image of the right.

I'm a liberal and I have never blamed Newtown on any of those groups.

You're the fool if you believe if you think the exploitation of the newtown tragedy to push gun grabbing agendas was anything "in good faith".

Nothing wrong with asking the questions again when previous answers were just more lies and attempts to divert.

Their attempt was not to cover new ground, but to shame the a member of the administration who has not only accepted responsibility months ago, but already implemented safeguards to prevent this from happenings again.

No, she didn't take responsibility for the lies and deceit, she just admitted to responsibility for "communication failures". Intentional lies and deceit is not the same as "communication failure". So she should be shamed.

Now back on subject - we are not discussing Newtown.

Hey, you said politicians exploiting a tragedy for political purposes are not decent human beings, so I showed you how most on the left are thus not decent human beings.

It would have been less selfish to have the defeat of Obama as your #10 goal instead of #1. Republicans are worried more about their own asses then the good of the country.

BTW - When was the last one-term President deemed successful??
