The president is simply wrong about the 47 Republican senators

[Bucky]

In condemning the Republicans' active attempts to sabotage America's foreign policy and weaken the nation overseas, President Obama said yesterday...

"I think it's somewhat ironic to see some members for Congress wanting to make common cause with the hard-liners in Iran. It's an unusual coalition," Obama said, according to CNN.

No, Mr President, it is neither ironic nor unusual for one group of insane religious zealots hellbent on bringing on a conflagration of holy wars to ally its efforts with another insane group of religious zealots hellbent on unleashing the dogs of war. They are perfectly suited allies, united in their hatred of peace and reconciliation.

the only real difference is that one group worships God, and the other group worships the Koch Brothers

2. As PR goes, it ranks right up there with Hair Restoration commercials. Except it's goofier.

3. Haven't Republicans been chanting...

"Death to America!" for the last 6 years?

[Sherman A1]

6. A bit longer I believe

than the last 6 years, but you are overall correct!

9. They might as well have been

The Tealiban Traitors act as if they hate the country.

4. Obama should have at least have just Department set up a Grand Jury about the Treasonous Senators

Obama, should have the just get a grand jury, for at least five of the senators,
if indicted, they should be arrested and book to stand trial. If convicted, the
Government should offer a plea deal, that forces them to leave their seats or
go to jail, The rest should be told if they don't step down or will charges made
against them

Obama need to do the right thing!!

5. The irony is inescapable.

The fear-mongering about Iran from the party that frets about Sharia law, allied however momentarily with the worst of Iran's wingnuts? Alanis couldn't do better.

11. I'm sorry, this is just out and out BS from both ends, Obama knows what this is, and this is NOT

democracy in action.

Are there no safeguards for what is clearly a rogue group that is no longer working for this country or its citizens? They may as well move to Israel, they are working for Bibi and the warmongering oligarchs. It is insanity, and to excuse it away as irony...just indicates how bad things truly are.

Looks like the SHTF is ok, business as usual. Looking forward, not back.

12. He's just trying to be tactful

I wish he would realize most people aren't smart enough to get what he is really trying to say. He's too tactful in my opinion.

[hopemountain]

16. he may be being tactful -

but, it is more his way of dis-empowering their attack on him by throwing them off. he is very much zeroed in on the exact intent of the 47 traitors of our nation.

those fools do not have the responsibility of the entire nation on their shoulders when they lay their heads to rest at night. they will never and could never fulfill president barak obama's strength and high character.

13. He had to put a shot across their bow...

while still sounding like an adult. Sure, we would like to hear him say what we think, but I think he said what needed to be said. They can read between the lines.

[Bucky]

19. When I was a kid, "sounding like an adult" wasn't something Congresspeople had to strive for

It just came natural. Of course back then the Republicans believed in science, logic, and the rule of law.

[awoke_in_2003]

20. I think things changed...

with the Gingrich "revolution". Things definitely started getting uglier then. Hell, Tip O'Neil was quite the liberal, but he and Reagan could at least go through the day without calling each other an enemy of the country.

14. Charges should be brought against the 47 senators. Blatant violation of the Logan Act.

[GeorgeGist]

15. PURE BIGOTRY

17. SIGN THE WHITE HOUSE PETITION TO PROSICUTE THE 47...
