Harry Reid should put the Bush era crimes back on the table and begin hearings

Darryl Issa isn't the only SOB with a chairman's gavel.

I long for the day when Democrats will start throwing a few punches in Washington instead of taking them.

Winning is forever. Revenge is a waste of time and energy and does nothing.

Remember- the ACLU stopped all Iran/Contra investigations when they freed Oliver North.

Sometimes, it is time to move FORWARD not step Back.

especially when stepping back means becoming THEM which is what THEY want.
Once stooping to their level, they win.
Like they did in 2000.
(winning=seated.)

Ron Paul and Ralph Nader want investigations. Not surprising, being that each is a
republican psychophant.

Let's not look back. All this talk about incompetence, lies, profiteering and war-crimes is SOOOO uncivilized.

Please give me an example when fighting with one arm tied behind the back against the GOP has resulted in a win.

every time there were protests, the republican party won.

ergo- no fracture, no protest, winning like 2008 and 2012 and 2016 and 2020.

Best revenge is positive by electing Hillary2016, the republicanOFFICEholders worst nightmare come true
because the people want it, just the extremists don't.

Jackie Robinson didn't fight the haters. He won the people over, and the haters disappeared.
You can't fight a boogieman because there can never be victory that way

Dr. King won by not going lowball

President Obama cool, calm, collected wins 100% of the time.
His agenda can win forever

Any disent against President Obama and Hillary Clinton means one more vote for President Obama and Hillary.
People are not stupid and don't like the constant persecution and harrassment of President Obama and the Clinton's.
In fact it is stupid the republicans and the extremists would still be so blind and cannot see it.

The demographics win.
The extremists lose.

80-20.

2014 is really irrelevant now.

The goalpost is FOREVER and nothing at all needs to happen til 2016

Revenge is in moving forward, not moving back.

Any dissent in the media (all media) is seen for what it is-
political negative ads against President Obama and Hillary Clinton.

and remember- President Obama has NO ego, therefore , he don't take it personally.
It is all politics.

And the impeachment of Bill Clinton was so bad(NOT),that because of the hatred of the Obama's and the Clinton's, Hillary is going to be President
with the largest total # of votes, 100 million, and 475 electoral votes.

It couldn't be written any better.

Jackie Robinson showed how it was done
Dr. King showed how it was done
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are showing how it's done

and any dissent to the two just helps keep Barack Obama's agenda forever, not just
in old stale political 1980s terminology(8 years) when this is forever for ever.
