Obama....'recess appointments'...and GOP tactics

[rightwinger]

Congress should have thirty days to approve or disapprove an appointment. After thirty days the appointment becomes official without Congress whether they are in session or not

Feel free to write your Congressperson and request that they propose such a constitutional amendment.

Makes more sense than the marriage definition amendments pushed by Teapublicans

Can Republican revisionist history get any more bizarre

Indeed.......More so, elected right wingers have figured out that given the rabid hatred of Obama that festers within their base, it is more "profitable" for them to show opposition to anything that Obama proposes, than to actually propose and implement their own policies. (in short, looking for approval for having done nothing.)

Republicans have submitted to a small minority that controls the rightwing media
Any attempt at bipartisanship, compromise or concession is viciously and instantly attacked

A win/win solution is still looked at as a loss because the other side gets to win too

Well stated......In a sense, right wingers in congress are practicing their own form of "political nihilism"

Bottom line: Under right wing and tea party control, it seems that congress is in PERPETUAL RECESS......they've done NOTHING,
confusing doing nothing as their "duty."

One would think that these idiot republicans have taken one oath and one oath only.......Just show up to work and say NO to everything Obama may propose......Republicans have shown that they have NO agenda to govern; NO proposal for job growth, NO idea of what a compromise may entail.......They just sit back and hope to raise money for their next re-election and hope that other idiots (like many on this thread) will reward them with their vote precisely because they've shown no ethics, no balls, no incentive to govern.......

They have an agenda, have sent Harry Reid many proposals for job growth and have no desire to strike a compromise they think would damage the country further.
Compromising with obama is like compromising with a homicidal maniac that wants to shoot you in the head and agreeing that he should stab you in the heart. The only difference in the outcome is a slightly slower death.
So, in effect, what Congress is doing is opting to ignore the maniac, knowing that he will eventually go away in 2 short years.

Once you call your political opponent a homicidal maniac, you make it impossible for any future negotiation

Holder went out of his way to accuse every white person of being a bigot. We've had our fill of that crap.

The race card isn't working anymore, asshole.

......and THEN, this idiot has the stupidity to begin his post with "I'm not a bigot".......(I just play one on this forum).....LOL

You confuse a realist who disagrees with you for a bigot. Stating facts that make you uncomfortable is not bigotry.
In your world 2 + 2 = 5 and anyone who says different is a racist. **** YOU!

Look at it this way. The People elected a GOP Congress. I know that pisses you off, but you are in the minority now and have to suck it up like Conservatives did for the last 6 years.
For 2 years, we had little chance except through filibuster to control what we saw as mania in the White House. Then we get control of the House and can finally start passing some bills that WE feel will be good for America, only to have them languish on Reid's desk.
NOW we control both houses. We can pass bills in the House AND Senate and send them along to POTUS, who will veto them.
Liberal propaganda says the GOP are obstructionists. That's bullshit and you know it if you looked at it objectively.
For four years, Harry Reid was the obstructionist from where the majority sits. In 2014 the People spoke and now barack obama is the last line.
So.... a Republican majority can't pass its agenda because a minority POTUS stands in the way, yet the GOP are the bad guys here?

Obama, or any President, is NOT entitled to just have their nominations rubber stamped.

Here's why you're wrong (and dense)......I, for one, are NOT asking for republicans to rubber stamp anyone....... Instead, I ask for them to have the balls to vote "NO".......have it on record that they voted "NO".........You are being fooled (because of ultra partisanship) by these elected right wingers who actually fear that voting "NO" will be on record and come next election they will have to defend why they were so much against nominees who were (many of them) minorities,

You mean like the Dims did with Bush's judicial nominees?

When are you going to admit you're nothing but a big fact hypocrite?

Declining to bring up Lynch's nomination for a vote has nothing to do with hating Obama. It has to do with stopping his assault on the Constitution.

Trough shit if you don't like it.

I really don't care about the Republican Congress

It's not like they can do anything....you still need 60 votes

Sooooo, nominating Lynch is....according to your own sick and demented conclusion, "an assault on the Constitution."

If you had only a few more brain cells, you too would realize what a moronic statement that is.......But, somewhat humorous and certainly telling.....Thank you.

 

[nat4900]

When right wing idiots refer to Obama as a "homicidal maniac," what else can be said about their value as a citizen?....and certainly, what can be said about any chance of governing the country forward?

Like 12 year olds they revert to, "you did to us, tough shit" infantile statement, and certainly show that they simply just like to wallow in their own bile......Good riddance to dirty trash.

It isn't the slightest bit moronic. Lynch has said she would uphold Obama's unconstitutional actions with respect to immigration. In other words, she's going to assist Obama in trashing the Constitution.

Nothing in the Constitution restricting executive orders

Except that they cannot be Un Constitutional in nature.

ROFL! the entire Constitution restricts executive orders, numskull. The Constitution gives Congress sole legislative authority. That means Obama cannot use EOs to create new laws.

It is rather easy to refute your numbskulls assertion.....As you can see, republican presidents have done what you (as an imbecile) call "unconstitutional".......Of course, you're correct that Obama is half black, so you must conclude that what he did was unconstitutional.

(BTW, Obama has often said to congress, "pass your own immigration bill and NO executive order will be needed..." but we all know that the tea baggers can easily extort elected republicans)
