    Bohener and McConnell should be tarred and feathered, placed on a barge and towed out to sea.
    We must have the clarity of vision to see the difference between what is essential and what is merely desirable, and then the courage to bring our government back under control and make it acceptable to the people. - Ronald Reagan, 1980 Nomination Acceptance Speech

    Did they invalidate Obamacare as a Legislative Bill which the Author, Gruber, now admits was written and presented under deliberate deceptive and false premises?

    And Add the fact that the ACA has been changed numerous times by Obama, which, as Chief executive, is again, outside his Constitutional powers and an Impeachable Offense.

    Did they Arrest and Imprison Louis Lerner and Eric Holder for their Contempt of the LAW?

    Did they even stop the Executive Branch from seizing from Congress the Right to Authorize Treaties in the Iranian Nuke Deal?

    What have John Boehner and Mitch McConnell done with the power we gave them, other than rubber stamp the Lefties agenda?

    Like the OP says, Shills.

    -
    You have no clue what an Impeachable offence is do you? I mean literally none at all.

    The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

    Article II Section 4 USC

    What f a Republican does the things that Obama has done, the left will be crying for impeachment.

    Now saying that, I am glad he was not impeached, because the next President will have the ability to get rid of things like the ACA with executive order rather than trying to get anything through the weak and cowardly congress.

    Read the United States Constitution, it's very clear what an impeachable offense is. Imagined slights against conservatives aren't impeachable offences. Really!

    Bribery, Treason, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors

    I linky'd them for you, so you understand.

    Here's a good article about the issuance of executive orders

    An impeachable offense is whatever a sufficient number of congressmen and senators say it is.

    Well lets just look at the first Obama Scandal? Fast and Furious.

    The Obama administration runs thousands of assault weapons to the Mexican Drug cartels. Obama is in Mexico making a speech on how the USA needs to get tuff on gun shop owners that are selling these weapons.

    As the scandal breaks they actually try and prosecute the gun store owners, but they have recorded the phone conversations with the ATF, proving that the government was asking them to make these sales.

    President Obama denies knowing anything about the program, but then uses executive privilege to seal all evidence from congress and the FBI.

    Gun running is a high crime and the President could not have used executive privilege without having knowledge and communications on the program?

    Then lets look at what the President job is concerning enforcing the laws of this country? then look at his executive amnesty. maybe not to the level of a high crime but certainly a felony .

    Ahem....

    "Gunwalking", or "letting guns walk", was a tactic of the Arizona Field Office of the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which ran a series of sting operations[2][3] between 2006[4] and 2011[2][5] in the Tucson and Phoenix area where the ATF "purposely allowed licensed firearms dealers to sell weapons to illegal straw buyers, hoping to track the guns to Mexican drug cartel leaders and arrest them."[6] These operations were done under the umbrella of Project Gunrunner, a project intended to stem the flow of firearms into Mexico by interdicting straw purchasers and gun traffickers within the United States.[7] The Jacob Chambers Case began in October 2009 and eventually became known in February 2010 as "Operation Fast and Furious" after agents discovered Chambers and the other suspects under investigation belonged to a car club.[1]

    So this thread is about how the GOP is a "straightman" to the Dems because they never win. Yet, when people constantly tell the GOP why they don't win, not only do they not listen, but they double down on the rhetoric. Nobody is going to be part of a party they don't feel welcome in. /thread
