  1. Some one needs to do something , I was hoping that Bengazi would turn out to be impeachemnt , especially when the strike commander asked to go in and was told by Obama to “stand down”
    maybe Obama found out or saw one of his repitives on the drone camera !!

    • And Panetta told a HUGE LIE when questioned last week, saying BO wasn’t there. A very bold lie he told with a straight face. That’s how devious those rascals are. It’s already out that BO gave orders to stand down while watching the whole thing play out via live stream. That’s what happens with liars. They forget the lies they already told and can’t keep up with them all.

  2. More grandstanding by the Republican sycophants. Lindsay Graham is the worthless puke who shouted “No attorney for you” if you’re arrested under the NDAA. I doubt that he has ever had the Constitution read to him. It would have to be read to him, because I don’t believe he can read. Peace, Robert Walker

    • Yeah, I don’t know if I can trust Lindsay Graham. He’s been a “Judas” in the past. He’s been called Lindsay “Judas” Graham for saying one thing and then doing just the opposite. He’s betrayed his constitutents many times.

    • Robert, you are evidentally a libber selling our country to the muslims and the commies. You show your lack of any humanity. You like the admitted muslim killing our Americans and show you wont change as you like Chinese and commies controlling our country and we have all lost our jobs and our money and our houses and you see killings by the Chicago thugs and you still dont care about any one but the gay muslim and his drugging. Good luck to you and your staying alive in your submissive lack of caring about any one but yourself.

    • Osluma is the worthless puke

  3. Good and like the others we had hoped that we could impeach this admitted evil muslim and Wonder what happened to Issa and the Fast and Furious and holder claiming every thing is racist? More deaths by the admitted muslim and now a American citizen overseas that we didn’t even know any thing but his father was a terrorist, obama didnt take the time to check the kid out, he just killed him. An American citizens, yes he could have been bad, but obama isnt doing any thing about the Ft Hood muslim shooter that was a terrorist but again obama lied and called this a work place killing, but the muslim yelled “No God but Allah” duh and that makes it a work place incident? Not …Border agents, kids at Newtown, now I think he is evil enough to find a mentally disturbed individual to kill these kids, and these guys that he killed, and heard there were dead bodies in Chicago before obama aka soetoro got out of there dealing with rahm, and I wouldnt put it passed the muslims to have bullied the ptsd solder to kill Kyle. . Why does obama continue to give Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood money $4.5 billion last year and why did the senate/congress just give them 7 m-16 and obama is giving them more? Twenty I heard. These evil ppl continue to preside and I would rather be dead then submit to the bending over for the sick evil muslim and his sick rampids, please do some thing another six months and our country will be completely gone.

  4. Hitler survived attacks on his life. He led a bit of a charmed life. It seems that there were forces protecting him until he fulfilled his role of implementing God’s wrath and then his end came. The enigma of being Lindsey Graham. Most of the time I hope some real conservative will primary him and let the good people of South Carolina choose to replace him. And then every once in a while he is spot on and I kinda like him. Obama has committed enough transgressions of his oath of office and against the Constitution and the well being of America to remove him from office several times over, yet miraculously nothing ever happens to him. A charmed life? An instrument of God’s wrath? I fear nothing will happen to spare America’s doom from the “fundamental changing of America” that Obama desires but has NEVER explained. His downfall will come, but only after he has destroyed America as she was designed to be and what we had hoped she might be returned to.

  5. “Senator Lindsey Graham has threatened to block the appointments of both Chuck Hagel and John Brennan.”
    Gee…a southern repugnican blocking the government…AGAIN!

    Senator Graham is nothing but a Cracker! I really wish the South would just secede from the USA. Lincoln should have let them go and not rebuild like we do for ALL LOSERS that we whup!

    Why is it that when republicans trample the constitution there’s nary a peep from you peeps? Bush started all of the Spying on Americans, torturing Americans, throwing Americans in jail with no due process but that’s also OK?
    You’re all so clueless…it’s sad on one hand but truly pathetic when you really look at it.

    • If you believe that is all true about Bush why do you white wash Obama for doing the same thing? Your criticism rings absolutely hollow when you turn a blind eye to the entire Obama Administration.

      If it was wrong for Bush then it is wrong for Obama. Period. Anything else is utter hypocrisy.

  6. Gee, RINO Lindsey vows to DELAY nomination. What he is saying is “I’ll put on a nice dog and pony show for a week THEN rubber stamp ‘em!” Nowhere in his comments does he say he will BLOCK them.

    Just another sold-out Liberal Republican playing the game and lining up to get his cut.

  7. Truthiness:
    They say you see in others what you are yourself.
    You accuse Republicans of thinking it was okay when Bush used the Constitution for toilet paper….but not okay when Barack does it.
    Isn’t that exactly what YOU are doing?? It’s okay for Barack to do it because GW did it. ????
    At least the right-wingers have the intelligence to change their vote (stupidly, as it turns out, believing Barack’s campaign promises; none of which he kept/in most cases he did the opposite [transparency / leadership / end bipartisanism / end lobbying / cut debt in half]) to try to END the invasive, deceitful, dictatorial activities of the WashDC hierarchy. To try to RESTORE our constitutional republic.
    I know being a liberal, you believe what you WANT to believe; facts be damned.
    But do you not realize that MOST of what Barack does is either unConstitutional or anti-Constitutional?
    Knowing that, being a liberal, you HATE facts (they always leave you in an indefensible position) I would still suggest that you actually READ the Constitution. See that the President is actually to be nothing more than an office manager for the departments he is over (Executive branch) that were created by Congress.
    The President himself has no authority, otherwise. He was to be a figurehead.
    (that’s why they call them ‘Executive Orders’: instructions to those running the Executive branch departments for which he is overseer.)
    Absolutely NOT a legislator like Barack.
    Absolutely NOT a dictator like Barack.
    But you’re a liberal: you WANT a ‘Big Brother’ to run everything. You HATE the restrictions the Constitution imposes….so you ignore them. But you LOVE to tell everyone else how to run their lives.
    IDEA: go to China. You won’t have to change a thing.

  8. Only a complete moron would approve giving the president this power.
    American military is made up of American Citizens most of which are on
    foreign soil. As commander in chief he only needs to declare that they are
    terrorists and may as such,destroy our entire army and other military
    forces on foreign soil. Only the Navy will be left to defend the United
    States.That is why our founding fathers wrote into the Constitution that
    we MUST establish a Navy with continuing enlistments and that only the
    Army would be limited to 2 year terms of enlistment or conscription.
    With our citizens totally disarmed by his NEW gun laws and no ARMED
    forces to speak of [ the navy has only minimal ground forces], he could
    declare himself KING of the WORLD. I’m sure the Muslim countries would
    accept him redily as their Pharoah [ The living God on Earth ] having
    killed more Americans with the stroke of his pen than any other person on
    earth.Since the other countries are already infiltrated with enough
    Muslims to take control of them, there would be little or no resistance.
    NOTE:
    Drones are arms just as guns are and if you take away the peoples’
    guns,they are entitled to buy DRONES to replace their guns. that might be
    the answer to STREET CRIME in yur state as drones can’t be pointed at a
    person in a bank ,grocery, or drug store,or home to THREATEN OR A
    SCHOOL,THEATER,or CHURCH to KILL MANY as has been done with guns.
    Asking for this power shows only ONE of the Presidents’ many multiple
    PERSONALITIES

    Sincerely,

  9. The question is which one of his many personalities would you Impeach? Also,can you be sure you have Impeached the right one? Check the movie, ” The 3 Faces of Eve ” for the symptoms of each personality to be sure you have the RIGHT one. How many he has and which one is dominating the others whom he intends to BLAME so that he can’t be legally proscecuted is the REAL challenge. This requires the need for a real professional or maybe more than one who is familiar with this phenominon to be sure that the DOMINATING personality does not succeed with his most complicated scheme.

  10. MYTAKE8:
    I’m no psychiatrist….but some that are have analyzed him as being a deep-end neurotic narcissist.
    Exceedingly dangerous in any position of power.
    My understanding is that narcissists don’t have a split personality….they’re chameleons….they
    assume the personna of whatever serves THEIR purpose at the moment. (thus making conflicting
    campaign promises to different groups)
    Narcissists care not a whit for anyone but themselves. (which would wholly fit the ambassador-as-hostage scenario at Benghazi, which I happen to believe)
    The rampant narcissistic egos fully explain Owebama’s despotic usurption of powers….
    and compulsive deceit to hide the fact that behind the confident facade there is truly NOTHING: no feelings (the faked tears following the Connecticut shootings) and no true accomplishments of any kind.

    More troubling than all this is a Congress that, other than a few exceptions, refuses to act regarding his falsified identities and his persistent anti-Constitutional actions.

  11. If you’re delaying this action.. how about hopping on empeaching Obama for fraud?
