If not for certain voices Obama would have been able to target and kill American citizens with complete impunity.

Just like during Clinton's Presidency, the objective is to mount endless baseless charges in order to stall judicial nominations and presidential initiatives.

Once we get away from the Progressive cancer that has been politics as usual, it will help tremendously.
Once we get away from the idea that there is a difference between Republicans and Democrats, that cancer will actually go into remission. At this point, our best hope is that all of the infighting and secrecy in Washington will cause a collapse of the two party system and open the door for a legitimate third party contender. That's the only way to break the tug of war between the left and the right that has led the country to the edge we're on now.

That is true, that is why it is crazy for Americans to vote for an higher taxes. They are voting to feed the beast, to grow the beast. As the beast grows it keeps demanding more and more from the citizens and once too big it's too late.

The government is the parasite feeding off it's host, we the people.

As the ball rolls, I see the moderates that side with McCain and Graham, creating a 3rd party, as the tea party constitutional conservatives take control of the Republican party.
Look how it has changed tremendously from within, in just the last 2 years. The missing link, were the state elections and caucuses, that place way more conservative people in high places.

Exactly which judicial nominations and presidential initiatives are being stalled? Why would these initiatives be a benefit to the nation?

Excuse me if don't for the poor journalists he's apparently trampling on. They are the azz-kissing suck-up fanboys that refused to act like real reporters during the 2008 primaries and the election.

McCain and Graham are no moderates. Those like McCain and Graham have done a great job in trying to get the moderates labeled as the extreme.

A moderate would take the position that the government can not kill it's citizen's without granting them due process. Look at what McCain and Graham did when that was argued.

A moderate would not try and create laws that restrict the first amendment rights of it's citizens like McCain did.

A moderate wouldn't be trying their best to get us into a war in Syria like McCain and Graham have.
