And, all I'm saying is just look at the mess Bush created that Obama has gotten this country out of. And if you can't see that, you're blind by partisan politics.

First of all, cite an example of Obama blaming Bush recently. Heck, cite an example of Obama blaming Bush ever.

Second, It would be perfectly acceptable, if the BOD flatly refuses to allow him to change the policies of his predecessor. (You'll note that the economy started going south with the Bush tax cuts, and it won't reach it past levels until they are repealed)

Ahem... The DEFICIT as a percent of GDP has been falling over the last few years. The DEBT continues to grow, but it been growing for years --- wait, no, except for that time under CLINTON.

What make you think her retirement has anything to do with the investigation (which hasn't stopped)?

I recently joined that site looking for photography info. I hope to start contributing to the photo contests soon.

Say what? Clinton's impeachment came on Dec 19, 1998, nearly three year into his second term.

Actually, if you look at political scandals over the years, the one shining constant is:

Democratic scandals involve sex. (Clinton, Gary Hart, Weiner, JFK)
Republican scandals involve money and/or abuse of power. (Iran-Contra, Watergate, Teapot Dome) (*)

This leads to my truism:

"Don't trust a Democrat with your daughter, and don't trust a Republican running your country".


(*) Although, with David Vetter & Larry Craig, they're making serious inroads in the "Sex Scandal" arena.

Yep, one lie. The Right-wing likes making blanket statements whenever they don't have facts to back them up.




Nope, sorry.. The is NOTHING in Obamacare or HHS regulations which forced that cancellation of those policies, as independent analysis has shown. They were cancelled STRICTLY because the insurance companies know they could get away blaming it on someone else.


The IRS "targeted" and investigated any group with a political sounding name that was asking to be declared a non-political non-profit organization. The name search included both conservative and liberal keywords ('tea party", "patriot", "progressive", "green"). That they caught more conservative groups only means that there were more conservative groups trying to cheat on their taxes. The "scandal" is just tea-partiers objecting to an IRS agent actually DOING HIS JOB.




Because there's no evidence of that beyond the voices in the heads of some conspiracy theorists.

Um... What were his lies about? Getting a BJ in the office. So, if no one cared about it, why was he been questioned about it under oath before Congress?

The fact is, Congress had no justification for asking him about Lewinsky, except to rope him into admitting something embarrassing or lying. He careful avoid doing either -- Q:"Were you ever alone with Miss Lewinsky", A: "I do not recall a specific time when we alone" (i.e, "we were alone, but I don't know the date & time" ) . The Republicans got pissy that he had out-witted them, and voted to impeach him. In the trial, he was acquitted.

Again, False Equivalency. Bridgegate was deliberately caused by someone in the Governor's office. Benghazi, on the other hand, was unquestionable caused by outside actors of whom the President's office had no foreknowledge.

In other words, we are comparing a blatant and criminal act of abuse of power, with insufficient planning. Yes, that "insufficient planning" led to four deaths. Insufficient planning on Bush's part led to 3000 deaths on 9/11.

Yes, the ONE lie you can pin on him. And that is mainly the insurance companies lying --- The vast majority of the "cancelled" policies had nothing to do with Obamacare. The insurers just realized that they could upsell their customers if they told them they had to cancel their policy.



And I'm still puzzled why what Rice said on a Sunday morning chat show has anything to do with anything. The fact that the Right Wing keeps coming back to that aspect of it demonstrates that there's no scandal n any of the rest of the Benghazi story.



We HAVE gotten to the bottom of the IRS and Benghazi AND "Fast & Furious" --- all three were investigated by Obama-hating Republican Representative Darrell Issa & his House Oversight Committee. All three found no wrongdoing. All three reports were buried (except for a few scandalous sounding excerpts) by Issa. Just because an investigation doesn't turn out as you would have liked, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Which continues the "false equivalency" of the way the right wing compares Republican Scandals to Democratic ones.

Weiner never did anything illegal (or for that matter, anything he has to apologize for, to anyone but his wife)

For that matter, the exact same thing goes for Bill Clinton.

Bob Filner committed real crimes, but none had to do with abuse of the power of his office.

For varying definitions of "knowledge" and "ordering".

It's fairly unlikely Christie ever said, "cause a traffic jam".

It's very likely that he said "find a way to get that guy".

The "smoking gun" is an email which says "time for some traffic in Fort Lee," but that suggests that they are just implementing a plan which they had already worked out, but not in the email trail -- probably in person, which completely opens the question of who was involved.

Trey Radel resigned .... after being caught...

McDonnell was accepting bribes .... while he WAS governor...

Chris Christie apologized ... after being caught... And you see no problem with a politician using the powers of his office purely for personal gain? The reason why Republican hate the idea of government so much is because they have no clue on how it's supposed to work.

Wow, you really have drunk the Kool-Aid.

The OVERWHELMING majority of real scientists (99%) say climate change is real, and nearly as many (97%) agree it's caused by man. Only a handful disagree, and almost all of them can have their funding traced back to the Oil-company funded Heartland Institute. But that handful gets a lot of air time on Fox News.
