Newt admits to meeting to obstruct everything to bring down Obama

[JimBowie1958]

After the election there were challenges faces the country. That should have been the concern of both parties.

Instead..one party was concerned about regaining power..which they believe is god given. And that party is populated with conservatives....
Oh yeah..they were racist..

Sallow, the GOP is SUPPOSED to oppose the Democrats unless the Dems meet them halfway and compromise, giving the GOP a little and getting some in return like bipartisan cooperation.

The Dems would have none of that and for TWO FULL STRAIGHT YEARS they STEAMROLLED the GOP. I am not even a Republican and it pissed me off. That is not how our government is supposed to work.

And then the lame duck session of Congress that repealed DADT was pure partisan bullshit too since they knew they could never pass it once the new Congress arrived.

Now Dems want to cry that the GOP was opposing them and didnt play nice?

ROFLMAO, you have got to be kidding me.

Dude, you are looking so partisan when you state things like that, and then calling Newts statement about Kenyan anti-collonialism as being racist is just mind-numbing bullshit. Obamas father was Kenyan and it no doubt had some influence and his time in Indonesia did as well and that is a very anti-colonialism kind of culture at the time also with Sukharto and those guys running things.

Shit, just listen to yourself sometime.

Fucking incredible!

They aren't looking for cooperation. They are looking to dominate.

They want all democrats out of the government. And they want a government ruled by the very rich..and clerics.

Like Saudi Arabia.

Dude for that to be true, the GOP in congress would have to have a pair of testicles and most of them dont. The leadership has been sharing the one testicle left to them by Tom Delay and its getting rather close to disintegration. And Pelosi has stopped sharing her testosterone supply long ago.

Maybe Boener can snip a pair from Reid when they finally run him out of the Senate, but thats a few years down the road still. Not enough to help them now.

Boener is still trying to figure out a way to return to Minority leader cause it was so much easier to criticize from the back benches than to be the guy in charge.

There’s really nothing to ‘admit’ to, this has been common knowledge for years.

Agreed. No big secret being revealed. The GOP stated their number one goal is taking down President Obama.

Not jobs, not the economy, not civil liberties, not what is best for the country...just taking down the President.

hey! taking down obama is what's best for the country.

When the President is doing irreparable damage, and destroying the Freedoms this Country was founded on, why not obstruct his goals and take him down? I'm all in.

What are you kidding?

For the first time in history the Republican leader of the Senate announced the the primary goal of the opposition was to take down the President. That's pretty ballsy. Along with republican representative calling the President a liar..while he gave his SOTU. Add in they've been using procedures that once were considered drastic..almost evey day.

They've been doing this since before Obama even had a chance to sit down.

It's pretty amazing. The minority party is cobbling the agenda..because they stuck a gun to the head of government.

They did this with Clinton as well..shutting down the government twice..and impeaching the President.

The Republicans have become a much more radical..and ballsy party every year.

What irreparable damage?

What "Freedoms"?

It was republicans that cobbled and passed the Patriot Act.

And it's republicans that want government to have a say in what happens in a woman's womb, what you can ingest, what sorts of businesses you can have and hamstrings labor at every turn.

It was Reagan that broke the air traffic controllers union..and Republicans have been working over time to squash the freedom of labor to advocate ever since.

[NoNukes]

And of course there were no such "conspiracies" to block G.W. Bush's policies when the Democrats controlled one or both houses of Congress.

Typical hypocrite tripe.

The Democrats even made the mistake of going to War in Iraq with Bush.

The unconstitutionality of Obamacare, the attacks on our Oil and Coal Industry, the assault on capitalism, the demonizing of business, the DIVIDING of our people along racial lines etc., etc, etc.....

Everytime that I have met with my Senators and my Congressman, I have made it very clear: Fillibuster, obstruct, delay, or do what ever needs to be done to STOP this man and his agenda. I am CONVINCED that his policies will lead to the destruction of this nation. Those men have made it very plain that they agree and have done everything in their power to do so.

The government doesn't create jobs (I know it's a foreign concept for the left), suing Florida to allow non-US citizens to vote in elections is NOT championing civil liberties and what's best for the country is a smaller, more effective government that doesn't spend MORE than it takes in every year. Hey, I have a radical idea: How about a budget this year? I know it's pretty radical for the Democrats to actually put down how they want to spend money.

Obamacare is a disaster, the debt stands at 16 TRILLION dollars and rising, Eric Holder should be impeached and tried for his crimes, and the list goes on and on.

Fillibuster, delay and obstruct... hopefully we can stop any more damage.

Big assed fucking BINGO.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Al tears through every and any one that attempts to come at him with any BS.

Al Sharpton's show is arguably THE best political show on TV

You have incredibly low standards.

Produce a single clip of Al Sharpton getting bested by anyone in the public sphere.

I can produce 10 clips of Al besting the best of them easily.

Tawana Brawley anyone?

No one "manipsnates" me

Written before the 2010 election:

So the next Congress will feature fewer moderate Democrats, more conservative Republicans, and a GOP caucus even more committed to opposition and obstruction than it is now, if such a thing can be imagined.

If there's any silver lining to be found, it's that increased polarization will clarify the differences between the two parties, a potentially useful effect in a country where levels of knowledge about politics have always been distubingly low. That's little comfort, though, particularly when voters so often seem ready to elect whoever appeals to their most powerful emotion of the moment. After all, the country is about to deliver a huge victory to a party whose approval ratings are in the 20s.

Voters, at least a majority of them, don't seem to be asking for effective governance in this election. Instead, they're shaking a collective fist at Washington. They'll get what they vote for: a Congress where the Democrats are slightly more liberal, the Republicans are substantially more conservative, the two parties agree on virtually nothing, and everything the administration proposes will be met by the opposition with "Hell no!" And two years from now, they'll wonder why Washington can't seem to get things done.

How Congress Became Polarized

Right on.

I'm still waiting for the majority of Americans to see who's being reasonable. The republicans were offered a budget deal that gave something like a 10:1 ratio between expenditure cuts and tax increases and they rejected it. When did Grover Norquist get elected to office?

Isn't winning the election kind of the whole point behind the election? It would hardly be an election if both parties supported this failure of a vile little insect.

That's why so many tea party representatives were sent to Congress because they said they would NOT compromise. Our political system requires compromise, but the people are not interested in compromise but STOPPING obama from doing further damage.

When your toilet is overflowing, you don't compromise and turn the water half way off, you turn it all off then fix the problem. Obstruction was necessary until obama's damage can be fixed.

 

[Sallow]

The whole health care bill was a compromise. It went from single payer..to government mandate. Same with Dodd/Frank which went from requiring that financial firms contribute to a fund that they would use for bailouts..to getting rid of that. The stimulus went from 1.2 trillion..to around 700 billion, 350 billion of which were tax breaks to small companies and the middle class.

Almost all legislation put up by the Democrats had lots of compromise. Unlike when Bush rammed through 2 major tax cuts. Or plenty of other crap he put up.

What damage?

The only damage I remember is the World Trade Center..when somehow..almost by magic..a military that we spend billions on..couldn't stop a harebrained scheme to hijack 4 planes and ram them into the vital infrastructure that they were suppose to be protecting.

The commander-in-chief at the time, was to busy pissing off Russians and Chinese to care about the "mosquitoes" he didn't want to swat.

That was your boy..Bush.

Thanks lady.

Thanks alot.

We COULD have stopped the WTC attack, IF Clinton had not passed laws protecting the rights of terrorists. The whole plan was on Moussaoui's laptop, in our custody when he was in our custody. A FISA judge denied a search warrant to look at the laptop based on Moussaoui's privacy rights.

With total tongue in cheeck irony, Clinton would be preferable today over obama. That's an obama that imagines his greatness gets to tell Vladimir Putin what to do.
