Not Obstructionist At All!Follow

Win/win/win. Liberals at least won't be the ones killing babies, the conservatives can finally hold that badge of honor.

But if you don't read, how will you know??

I FOUND THE FLAW IN YOUR PLAN, GOOD SIR!

TL;DW

What's important is that each of the panelist talking heads shouted at each other for about 30 seconds, then Ratigan blasted back in and directly challenged the President and Congress to acknowledge that our government is bought, and our bank system is not on our side.

I agree with gbaji.

Using impeachment proceedings to obstruct when you don't even know what you're impeaching for is bad.

But world class job of missing the point, though.

Yeah, but one side is a lot more entertaining to egg on.

As much as I loathe hard core right-wingers, the fact remains that we're all in this together. We've fallen hook, line, and sinker for this Left vs. Right ********* when the real enemies are every one of the thieving bastards in charge of this mess. The more we are at each others' throats, the less we notice of the fleecing of the American public.

Abortion? Who gives a ****?

Gay marriage? Completely unimportant.

Environmental issues? Important, but not an emergency.

Creationism in schools? God in the pledge? Michelle Obama's latest exploits? It's all a ******* ruse designed to keep us sated, fat, arguing, and stupid.

Nope. Ash is right. My point is about semantics. You fell all over yourself about the fact that the word "obstruct" was used, making the GOP "obstructionist". Hell, it's in the damn thread title you chose to write.

You can make a valid argument against something without flying off the damn handle with the semantically loaded terminology Joph. Try it once maybe.



Yes. Which should be your first clue that my point wasn't about the impeachment statements, but about the semantics of playing on the word "obstruct" to make this not just about one guy responding to some random question from a crowd of people, but some kind of indictment of the entire GOP and their actions/agenda as a whole.


Tell you what? When someone in the GOP actually puts down legislation proposing impeachment of the president *then* we can discuss the purpose, reason, and possible ulterior motives. I'm far far more concerned with actual political actions, actual legislation being passed, and actual executive decisions being made than one representatives response to one person at one town hall meeting (or whatever it was). And no amount of you playing word games makes me put any more weight on this than that (ie: close to zero).

Yes, you saw a video. Gratz.

So you did watch it?

The point stands. What's the point of continuing to argue about this, while the country falls apart around us? Why not start taking to task the actual problems?
