Or perhaps, there will be a "crisis that doesn't go to waste" at just the right time in Fall 2016.

I remember all the nutjobs posting that Bush would suspend the constitution to stay in office.....and I remember them doing it as Clinton neared the end of his 2nd term.

Same exact stuff you are saying.....every time a president gets into his 2nd term.

It's a ridiculous assertion.

In having to pick between a Republican-lite and a warmonger or a plutocrat they'll take the miltoast Republican lite every time. What's to be expected given the limited choices in candidates allowed in the system?

There was no limited choice, you could have voted for Joe Biden, Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson, Mike Gravel, CHris Dodd and Hillary Clinton.

Democrats already Split.

Progressives won(some what), Liberals and Conservatives Dems lost.

He just picked up the phone & arbitrarily attacked a sovereign nation that wasn't threatening us. The man should have been impeached & tried on war crimes at that moment as true Progressives Ralph Nader & Dennis Kucinich called for. NeoProgs don't care though. They're EXACTLY like NeoCons. The only thing that matters is protecting "their" side. Of course "their" side isn't America & it's certainly not the poor or middle classes.

Considering the Constitution gives him the power to do just that, what exactly would you impeach him for ?

You need to read your search results before you post them. 2 of those links at the very top are to an SNL sketch.

Further more, there is a video of interviews with West Virginia Hillary supporters that shows that there are indeed people who did not vote for Barack Obama because of the color of his skin.

As if. The terrible and corrupt primary system run by both parties ensures that mine and other populous states gets almost no say in choosing the nominee for national elections.

Well duh....but if you scroll down you will find numerous claims and articles from a variety of sources.

One would think I wouldn't have to explain that a google search meant.

Even Bill Clinton got called out as did Hillary for some of their comments that were "potentially racist". Bill had to go on Sharptons radio show to defend his comments.

99% of the electorate has no clue as to the meaning of political labels. They look at resultant behavior or simply cast a vote by partyline.

Labels are for activists, academics and socialists who challenge everyone to define socialism and then discredit their argument because of some technical detail is deemed to be incorrect.

Voter supression by the Dem D-party, media and federal agencies has allowed obama to continue his on the job training program for which history will view him as a cosmic failure.

To paraphrase the headline....Obama lied to the electorate and then lied again.

But not you, right? You are the 1%. The enlightened few who never ever vote party line.

Labels are for... Oh, the sweet, sweet irony.

You know them Dem D-party types passing all of their voter id laws, closing polling places, gerrymandering, ending early voting, disallowing students to vote away from home.
