So it only took the Democrats 2 years and 1 partial term in Presidency to fuck this one up. Shit, they just get better and better dont they?

Of course its because we're...lets see...Racist, inbred, religious, gun toting, backwater....Well, something like that. Couldnt possibly be because most of the Democratic policies are shit and no one wants them.

Cant wait for the excuses to fly from this one.

The drama is strong in this thread, and the queens that supply it are really making me laugh. What? No "We the People!" Awwwwww....

Are Obama and Biden advocating (and acting on) the belief of a unitary executive? What constitutional crisis was it that they started recently? Puhlease.

Whatever you have to tell yourselves to maintain your double standards I guess, but this revisited Americuhhh FUCK YEAH! mentality from the right really takes me back to the patriotically retarded days of 2003-2004.


Bayh is sick of Congress, can't blame him for that. Repubs shirking their responsibilities in lieu of political obstruction, and lots of Dems selling out to vested interests pisses me off too, and I'm no where near as involved with it as he is.

This, exactly. The dems have gotten *almost* as bad at the GOP but the people that think that "We the people" are interested in having the dipshits that ran the ship aground back at the helm, are crazy. Nope, they are just standing on the sidelines hoping the country tanks ever worse so they can finally think they have recused their side from the blame. We the people see them as obstructions and nothing more right now, party over country. Same shit, different decade. Either Bayh was hiding something or got truly sick of politics as usual, if the latter, good for him. Take 90% of your colleagues from both sides of the aisle with ya.

Rumor mill says Senator Mikulski of Maryland to Retire.

So back to the rats from a sinking obama ship are certainly true. It's going to be glorious when we take her back from the clutches of tyranny. Absolutely beautiful.

From the left claw to the right claw. It's still the same tyrannical beast.

If anything I would think he will go for Governor again rather than President. Remember his 2008 presidential bid got nowhere, but he has good name recognition in Indiana.

.
Could be. You know what they say, though, about the defect in the Senate offices' mirrors. (How every Senator sees a President looking back at him.) Hell, Harry Brown had one of those mirrors and I voted for him (I think) three times.

Bayh being one of the Democrats I actually respect, there is probably zero chance he could make it through a Democrat primary.

Patriot is much more appropriate.

This is the state of America right now...

A true Patriot would not want to see more failure in our government considering the failures of the last 5-6 years. You are not a Patriot, as a matter of fact you are no better or different than a terrorist. Every night you pray for the destruction and failing of our country. And you have many times put forth the notion you wish Obama physical harm. You are far from a patriot, nothing more than a traitor.

What "patriot" in their right mind seeing the absolute poor condition our nation has been in the last 5-6 years would wish, cheer, and hope for more failure? I did not like Bush, but you can bet your life that for the last 3 years of his Presidency I wanted nothing but success from him leading our country. But I guess its because I really love my country and my fellow countrymen even though I may have some disagreements with them. You're not a patriot, you are a lowlife enemy dude, you are just too damn pathetic to realize it.

*Applause* Very well put and spot on.

He's just part of a small but vocal minority that have hijacked the GOP. Will the real republicans continue to allow these fringe lunatics to have a voice or sweep them back under the carpet where they belong? Time will tell. They let them out for the past 10 years and look and where it has gotten everyone. Let them have their own teabagger party and be done with it...

Correction: Teabagger parties are Democrat fundraisers held at Barney Frank's apartment.

It requires two free hands to clutch anything well and yours are always way too busy with all grandiose circle jerking and sock puppeting going on. You went from being a transparent keyboard soldier during Iraq and the Boosh years to being an armchair teabagging "we're going to take back the country" pussy. Either way, at the end of the day, you are a coward who only talks big but never acts. You are the right wing equivalent of Dave. Congrats on that! Pft.

Not so. Have organized most of my office to donate and sign up others to vote and encourage the same (overwhelming support for Rand Paul/senate, we had to get people registered so they could vote in the primary or switch designation). So I am doing plenty of action. Same with family and friends who are absolutely fed up with this congress and administration. We discuss it everytime we see each other - "what can we do to stop this?" Also pushing our state gubment to allow independants to vote in primaries.

Donate, get involved, get others involved, you CAN stop this. Plenty of action on my part.

Take the country back? From what? A black president? Hand it over to some dingbat x-Alaskan governor? hehehe
Its looking pretty bad for BOTH parties, if u hadn’t noticed.
Too many career politicians have been sitting there for way too long.
To them, its just a job. A paycheck.
We need term limits. No politician should make a life career out of the senate or
congress. They become out of touch with reality. They think serving is just some reality tv show, where you earn points, knock the other guy, and try to survive to the next round.
If congress is broken, and it is, drastic change is needed.
Term limits would be a good start.
We had 8 years of republican rule…remember???, and look at us now.
Then we found democrats are no better. Can’t get their act together.
Can’t get their own party members together.
Pretty sad.

Yes, by filibustering damn near everything, and while it's *TECHNICALLY* a super majority, it's really not one in practice.

61-62 would be a super majority in practice.

When Obama's and Congress' actions are destroying our country, damn straight I want them to fail. Just like one wanted the British Invasion to fail. When dictatorship is showing it's head, damn straight I want it to fail.

When the spending to purposefully have the people turn to government for solutions, coupled with policy of limiting ones growth. Damn straight I want it to fail.

When the will of the people is continually ignored with healthcare reform being forced down the throats of Americans who don't want it. Damn straight I want it to fail.

When Obama's policies and attack on business hurt everybody in the country, damn straight I want him to fail.

When congressional reps and senators ignore the will of those they represent, damn straight I want them to fail.

Fail president, fail. We REJECT you and what you are trying to do. You WILL be defeated. We WILL stop you.
