Conservatives not taking revelation that Reagan did the same thing as Obama (Sestak) very well

[ck4829]

Conservatives are abuzz, saying that Obama tried to "bribe" Sestak out of the Senate race. They want a prosecutor, no doubt to hound Obama for the next 7 years and waste millions of taxpayer dollars.

We have been recently reminded, though, that Reagan did the same exact thing with SI Hayakawa, and a prosecutor wasn't considered. In fact, it wasn't even scandal-worthy for the media or even the Democrats.

Conservatives aren't taking it well. You know when you take a kidney out of Person A and put it in Person B, and Person B's immune system rejects it? It's kind of like that kind of rejection.

Let's look at some responses, shall we? The sound in your head is the sound of the straws that were being grasped onto by these conservatives who thought (Or in sad cases still think) that what the Obama Admin did was impeachable starting to crack and break.

"F*** off B****!!" (In response to someone making a Reagan-Obama comparison)

"if it was a Republican he would been in court by now." (Notable because this was said after a score of other people noted the Reagan-Hayakawa deal)

"No. He. Did. Not. " (In response to someone saying Reagan made Hayakawa a deal)

2. The cult of Saint Reagan is alive and well...

I also hear that he raised taxes.

3. And thanks for playing "Punk The Pundits!"

If you're among the Rethuglicans and MSM accomplices who screamed "Impeach! Investigate!" and "Special Prosecutor!"--YOU LOST!!!

But we don't let anyone walk away from our game empty-handed. Here's a consolation prize:

Pawlenty famously had his turn at running for the U.S. Senate taken away in 2002 when then-Vice President Dick Cheney and Bush advisor Karl Rove leaned heavily on him to switch to the governor’s race, making room for favored son Norm Coleman to run against Sen. Paul Wellstone.

Yep, it sounds like President Georgie did it, too! So once again, thank you for playing "Punk The Pundits!"

5. this crop of republicans are dumb fucks

6. Cheney is still alive (or is he now a robot)

and he called Phewlenty and talked him out of dropping out of the primary for a senator in Minnesota. Bush and he wanted Norm Coleman because he was a "company" man who worked his butt off to get funds for Bush/Cheney re0election. They wanted to reward Coleman. And Phewlenty being the little lemming he is dropped out. Now Cheney and Phewlenty and Coleman can be confronted with it. BUT PHEWLENTY HAS ALREADY SAID IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL. Course it is only a F**king Big Deal when a democratic candidate does it.

And the irony is that Reagan did EXACTLY what the right-wing idiots are bitching about and Obama DID NOT!
