Wrong, impeachment proceedings are only reserved for important national security issues like a president lying under oath about their sex lives.

OK, what does that tell you about our foreign policy under Obama?

and Israel dislikes the appointment, what's the problem.

Sounds a lot like Harry Reid and the pile of bills he has on his desk that never made it to the floor for a vote, in the last 2 years.

I think both parties are the party of no.

I don't think Reid or anyone else thought they would be dumb enough to filibuster a cabinet appointment, filibustering legislation is one thing, this is historic ground.

Like your party cares at all about the future of the country

Ah, another unreasonably angry fringe extremist who is foaming at the mouth. You sad, sad creature, you.

I wonder what "my" party is, though. Since I know the answer much better than you ever will, I can assure you that your assumptions have led you far astray. My guess is that your conclusions in this matter are as flagrantly erroneous as they are likely in most matters. Hatred blinds - but you are so far into it that you have no way of ever knowing that - and it usually leads to an untenable perspective.

And no, I will not shut up already. People like me have kept their mouths shut for way too long. Doing so has allowed undereducated and over-opinioned nitwit extremists to seize the reins of a party that people once thought appropriately labeled "grand old party." We have allowed people like you to ruin this party. We have allowed people like you to turn an otherwise great political party into a seeming collective of out-of-touch morons who fail to grasp the needs of the American people. We have allowed people like you to destroy the only alternative to the Democrats that really exists in our two-party system.

No sir, I will not shut up. I will work hard to make people like you shut up and slither back into the darkest and most pitiful corner of existence from whence you came. I can only hope that others will find the devotion to stand up to people like you and reclaim the GOP for what it is supposed to be: Grand - not pathetic.
