(1,991 posts)Another worthless petition that's going nowhere.
How many here really think the DOJ is going to investigate the GOP leadership for sedition? Considering that Bush and cronies are still walking free.
Unless you classify massive stupidity on the part of the GOP, there was no crime committed and those that are wishing for charges to be filed are naive at best.

(14,881 posts)They do need to know what we think, though, and this is a quick and easy way to add your voice. Or not.
And considering the nature of DU, many of us *do* consider the GOP massively stupid. Certainly the Tea Party faction of the GOP. Which, if you were something other than a possible troll, you would recognize.

(1,991 posts)I'm a pragmatist, I know that nothing is going to become of this naive petition.
Face it, the GOP, other than being idiots, have committed no crime, much less sedition, and those that think something is going to come out of this are...........................................................!

(20,176 posts)I think it's a ridiculous petition and the people behind it would be better served to kill it before it's used to tar liberals as ridiculous extremists. Most liberals don't support this inane shit.
It's precisely the kind of nuttery we do not need in the Democratic Party. That petition is as bad as the histrionic crap the Tea Party pushes. The people signing it are not even self-aware enough to be shamed by it. To me, that's sad.

(1,991 posts)I agree wholly and those that think anything will come of this are deluding themselves and make us look as extremist as the bat shit crazy teabaggers.

It is NOT as bad as the histrionic crap the Tea Party pushes because it's based in fact not fantasy.

(1,991 posts)We recognize extreme rhetoric which does nothing but deflect from the real issues.

(20,176 posts)The Tea Party. "
Why won't the DoJ investigate the facts on the Kenyan Muslim Socialist not being an American?" "Why won't anybody take us seriously on our claims that Hillary Clinton committed treason and covered up what really happened at Benghazi?" Why? It sounds just as whiny when they say it.
Sorry, the petition is ridiculous, petulant and whiny. If petitioners want to act like histrionic fools, they deserve to be treated as such.

(14,691 posts)it makes me (or any one of other people who feel as I do) sound like one of them and then can be similarly dismissed? What bull**I*t.
