NSA spying- okay
IRS attacks on conservatives- okay
lying about Benghazi and failing to rescue- okay
Fast and Furious- okay
lying about Obamacare- okay
attacking opposition journalists- okay


Liberals are not opposed to fascist and tyrannical tactics, as long as they are directed toward conservatives. This reveals that most liberals are opposed to liberty, at heart, and are more for "selective" allocation of individual rights-i.e. police state rule.

It does make Americans emotional when they see their country turning into Detroit.

Let's do that !

Obama used federal agencies to supress the vote while the media looked the other way. No one else could get away with such criminal behavior.

Sigh. Heres some reality for you:

NSA spying-actually the majority of people aren't OK with this, certainly none of my liberal friends. Some of my conservative friends have said its to protect us, and we shouldn't take those tools, but even the majority of them aren't OK with it.

IRS attacks on conservatives-actually I think this was debunked. The IRS went after groups that had conservative and liberal etc names in their titles. Imagine that, the IRS went after non-profits that were most likely not following the law based on their name.....and Issa made a big deal out of it being a conservative attack by restricting his request to ONLY conservative names....ignoring all the others that also occurred.

Lying about Benghazi and failing to rescue. 2 issues here. Both of them about as true. Failing to rescue? REALLY? You haven't read all that occurred. And using PERFECT hindsight its hard to fathom how things could have been improved. Well maybe if Republicans hadn't reduced the security budget maybe.....seriously this is nonsense, and its getting old hearing this conspiracy BS.

Fast and furious-a Bush program originally......that has little or nothing to do with Obama. It made bad choices by focusing on making a bust instead of the damage done by selling the guns outweighing the bust. Yawn. Nope, I don't care much.

Lying about Obamacare-OK yeah im not so happy about that one, He should have been more honest and specific about it. Still love the program and the things its done for folks I know. Its saved lives.

attacking opposition journalist-no opinion, I dont study everything and haven't seen this one yet. Who?

Oh, and the GOP gerrymandering did nothing, I suppose?

Get over it.

Suppressing the vote? Since when are you righties against that? The recent popular vote in congress illustrates that you cannot win without dirty tricks - what a sorry statement. Closing polling places, restricting availability of voting machines in democratic areas, gerrymandering, mounting voter registration drives then trashing the democratic applicants, mailing false voting information to households in democratic areas, demanding voter i.d. immediately before elections, targeting students, blue-collar workers, minorities, and the elderly with these dirty tricks.
Why Voter Suppression Is Mostly a Republican Tactic - Bloomberg
GOP Voter Suppression Plan: Seven Tactics To Block Your Vote in 2012 | Alternet

So let's get that out of the way. Now Benghazi - here is the story on that.
Congressional repugs block funding for embassy security then blame Obama - in other words they were hoping for things like this to happen. No words for how despicable this is. The Repug Party has become the party of fascist scumbags, sacrificing American lives for their own political power.
Repuglicons Jason Chaffetz and Darryl Issa first defund embassy security, then draft a letter to Obama demanding accountability for the Benghazi attack. Hubris? Yeah, because they believe Fox News and their corporate-owned media will promote their side of the story to Americans.
Where was Faux News when a far greater number of American lives were similarly lost under Cheney/Bush?


Republicans delight in their cuts for embassy security - YouTube

Republicans cut the administration’s security funding by $128 million in 2011 and $331 million in 2012. Repugs of course totally rejected the plea of Hillary Clinton that the Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security”.

After defunding embassy security, they then, with Fox News in tow, exploit their own misdeed for political purposes.
Graham: I will block all appointees until we get answers on Benghazi
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/republic...azi-committee/

Notice in the video that Chaffetz says "we have priorities". Yes, and we know what those "priorities" are - gaining power at all cost doing whatever it takes, and no matter whom it hurts.
Let's finally realize what repugs are about and what their party has become - the American Corporate Fascist Party.

That must be just where you live.

Where I live is beautiful, prosperous warm 9 months of the year, and a joy to live in. Nothing close to a deteriorating city.

You should move. Really, you should.

attacking opposition journalist-no opinion, I dont study everything and haven't seen this one yet. Who?

1. NSA spying- I am glad you are opposed to this. Most of the libs on this board are for it.

2. IRS attacks. Debunked? Au contraire- there has already been admissions of officials in the IRS that they DID TARGET CONSERVATIVES simply for thier political stance. I personally had to contact my state Senator (Grassley) and congressman (King) in order to get the IRS to pay me back $65K they owed me. Despite letters and telephone conversations with the IRS in KC, they said that "sometimes" people just do not get thier money. When I contacted King and Grassley, the problem was resolved in a week. Both offices said that the only thing that had changed was my contributions to the campaigns of conservatives and conservative groups.

THE IRS DID TARGET CONSERVATIVES.

3. Lying about Benghazi? Yes, the recent discoveries in the Benghazi hearings have confirmed that both Clinton and Obama lied. That is crystal clear. What is not clear is who ordered the troops, positioned for rescue, to stand down. This, ultimately, is the duty of the POTUS.

4. Fast and Furious? Are you kidding? Bush had a different program which was much smaller in scale and no one died. Further, there was not a cover up or "executive priveledge" exercised to protect the AG. Obama and Holder are like modern gangsters.

5. Lying about Obamacare- definately. How can you say that you "love the program" when millions more people have been displaced from their insurance with higher rates and 75% of the enrollees are medicaid? With the medicare cuts, many specialists have markedly reduced medicare appointments and refuse to see the new medicaid patients. That all is happening even before the "employer mandate" which will be far more disasterous.


You are supporting the most inept, corrupt president in US history. Your inability to objectively examine a terrible president (the worst) suggest that you would support ANYONE and ANY ACTION, as long as it is for a democrat.
