Scary thought: a republican House with subpoena powers.

[CTyankee]

As someone on MJ said today, "if that happens, they won't spend the next two years passing legislation. They'll spend it investigating the Obama administration."

If that happens, I'll spend the next two years deeply depressed...

1. We simply can not allow the GOP to take a majority in either House ... period.

Do we not remember the millions spent investigating White Water and a BJ while Clinton was President?

Do we not recall the terrible legislation that the GOP passed under Bush?

Can we not imagine what the current GOP would do if it had even a slim majority in either house of Congress?

[EnlightenedOne]

2. Amen.

Not to mention that fact that over the past 8 years they took this country to the depths of hell. The only people who could possibly vote reputlican are uneducated/unaware morons or thieves.

5. Dont tell me tell the DLC!

we didnt exactly fix the electronic voting machines so whats to stop the pukes this time?

7. People in the streets and at rallies

and donating. That's how they couldn't possibly steel it from Obama - pitiful showings at McCain/Palin rallies as opposed to Obama's stadiums. Plus, it worked to their advantage anyway to have a Dem in office to blame all the worlds ills on.

8. Excause me, how does that stop vote tampering?

[Winterblues]

14. No we do not remember any of that stuff or Republicans would not be even

in the polls, let alone leading in them..Americans are basically very ignorant people. Don't make the mistake of believing otherwise or you will suffer constant disappointment. If anyone examined even a small amount of current events or American History, Republicans would never stand a chance in Hell of getting elected to office. Besides American Idol and Surviver are on tonight. :shrug:

16. Correct ... the media's job is to act as a memory eraser ...

There are no facts ... just "sides" ...

FDR did not win WWII and save the economy, he allowed the war to go on too long, and destroyed the economy ...

And this is where Wolf Blitzer would say ... "well, we have to leave it there ... ".

3. stock up now on Seratonin Re-uptake Inhibitors! (Prozac)

This admins non action on the previous admins crimes will cost the DEMS big time, wait and see. A nation of laws my ass!

My prediction of Obamas next book title, " Opportunity Lost"

ps i know its mispelled

[spanone]

4. why isn't a democratic house just as scary? why don't they look into bu$h*? nevermind

[Lost4words]

6. cause we have to move forward, dont you know!

we have to get along..........

[CTyankee]

17. There IS a difference. If you didn't believe it during the second Clinton administration,

I don't know what to tell you. Luckily for the country, we were in great shape economically during that time, but now we need the president to be working on solutions to our massive problems, not entangled in endless investigations and perhaps even impeachment.

9. dems want to win? give people something worth voting for.........nt

[kenny blankenship]

10. Why doesn't it scare Obama and the "centrist" Dems into enacting a DEMOCRATIC agenda?

They ought to be petrified, but then again what happens to us as a result of GOP misrule doesn't happen to the clowns who made it possible with their corruption, bungling and spinelessness. They will all be well provided for, even after losing power.

[CTyankee]

19. Because they are all in an atomized existence and believe what they have

constructed for themselves as "reality."

They are on another planet...

11. Obama can just do what shrub did the last two years

claim executive privilege on everything and tell congress to fuck off. Bush and his minions wanted a unitary executive, got congress and the courts to agree with it now fuck em' deal with it.

[TheKentuckian]

12. Knowing this and who we are dealing with, why weren't they buried, vilified, and

had their ideology indicted, convicted, and exiled to the wilderness, if not executed?

The Republicans are almost utterly predictable and the surprises come only from how low they are willing to sink and turn their backs on the aspirations of western civilization which means people as intelligent as the President and many that surround him cannot be shocked by the behavior, tactics, and mentality of the Republicans.

I don't get how more than a tiny few could come to any other conclusion than the administration is more or less play along unless you really think they are stupid and incompetent.

Even the worst chess players know you can't put your self into check. This kat is smarter than all the pukes put together, it doesn't add up at all and maybe the obvious is the answer.

Post-partisan, indeed. Stupid, complicit, or way fucking deluded are the only options on the table that I can see.

13. Republicans taking back the House is a done deal.

There are too many democrats and independents who are unwilling either to vote for a democrat or to vote against a republican this year.

[Bitwit1234]

15. The media is definitely

corporate republican, but even so, I have not seen one real thing, with the exception of Fox, that says this administration has done anything illegal.

Passing laws, now that's done by congress and Obama as president signs them. If anybody needed to be investigated it was Bush. I really think that the reason it wasn't done, was this, congress didn't want to tie congress up with these actions. They wanted to get on with the job of trying to pull this country back. I think they thought the real Americans would appreciate it, I THINK THEY WERE WRONG and they now know they should have investigated the Bush Administration. Never too late.

[CTyankee]

18. There's no appetite in this country for a full scale investigation of Bush.

People want jobs and a decent economy.

We may lose in November, but we certainly will if we start talking about the Bush administration. We liberals may love it, but the rest of the country ain't with us and probably would get furious if we did such a thing. Reality is a bitch, I know...
