Republicans Win 2014 Elections -- America Dodges a Bullet

Nov 05, 2014 10:30


The Republicans have swept the 2014 elections, picking up 7+ seats in the Senate and 10+ seats in the House of Representatives to secure majorities in both Houses of Congress.  This is a very good thing for the Republic, because the Democrats had been in the process of using the same techniques of voter fraud and the increasingly-credible threat of ( Read more... )

Yes, that's the list I found. And I don't see any of them as impeachable.

So, will you go on record as stating that you don't believe the President has to enforce or obey the existing laws? After all, many of these acts were in direct violation of existing law.

I've never understood the IRS thing. What the IRS did to conservative groups was to determine whether they were political groups. Political groups are not tax-exempt. So the IRS had to look at potentially politically conservative groups to figure out if they were politically conservative, because they would only be tax-exempt if they were NOT political. And most of them were found NOT to be political -- which I think is the REAL scandal here. A whole bunch of conservative political groups got a pass from the IRS.

The same scrutiny is given to liberal political groups that try to pass themselves off as non-political, and an unfortunate number of them get a pass, too.

No. That's the point. The scrutiny was directed against the groups on the basis of their perceived conservative political orientation; liberal groups were not subjected to the same scrutiny. The IRS was used in a deliberate attempt to suppress conservative PAC's and think tanks.

Fast and Furious definitely was a problem, and a scandal. THAT one I might be able to see an argument about, but I have trouble seeing it as impeachable, because it wasn't Obama's actions directly. That said, I WOULD like to see some people in prison for it.

So, will you go on record as stating your opinion that you believe Obama so massively incompetent and asleep at the switch that he allowed Eric Holder to fight a private war against Mexico in pursuit of Holder's gun control objectives? Because that's what basically happened, unless Obama authorized it, in which case Obama has committed impeachable offenses, and Holder is still legally-liable since he should have disobeyed an illegal order.
