What a surprise

Here you are to protect the "precious".

I am not talking about PBO a man that I love and respect, his Secretary must go. This is just beginning, more Congressmen will denounce the Sec. as more comes out. Hopefully PBO will do the honorable thing and ask for him to resign.

...that makes no sense. I mean, you claimed it wasn't about "politics." Then you issued a "dare" to "BOG."

Now, here you are talking about how you "love and respect" Obama, but referring to disagreement about firing the VA Sec as "protect the 'precious'" (whatever the hell that means).

Generally speaking, 435 sitting members of Congress are wrong. MohRokTah May 2014 #9

yes, they are probably wrong, they certainly are wrong in their opposition to gay rights JI7 May 2014 #17

Access to more information AnalystInParadise May 2014 #73
