The Federal government yearly spends gargantuan amounts of tax dollars on international wars. Corporations really do like wars because they generate huge profits. They lobby Congress to acquire our tax dollars and enrich themselves by supplying the American military complex with unneeded military hardware and also by giving huge amounts of money to many foreign regimes. The federal government also supports these dubious foreign leaders and their military establishment for the purpose of continuing their prolonged regional wars.
Both parties are guilty of these above mentioned transgressions. America is only great by admitting its mistakes and correcting them. Americans should support candidates who follow their wishes. Corporate lobbying of any kind is a disservice to the American voter and should be legally abolished. A move to outlaw lobbying is a good start in correcting the flaws which have made democracy less than it should be.
The idea of impeaching any president is secondary to the insane chaos perpetuated by US foreign policy by both parties. We are the world leaders in the number and length of our war entanglements. This country is being defrauded by our quest to run the world and these foreign regimes are bleeding our American taxpayers by these ludicrous policies.
A connection between wars and corporate interests- oh my.
Most leave Congress substantially more wealthy than when they arrived and it's not because of the salary they are paid for part time work in a position that requires them to put fund raising for their party and reelection before all else.
The big money is in the super pacs that are not required to disclose the source of funds including foreign money.
What the heck is a presidential candidate doing in a foreign country at a $50,000 a plate fund raising din-din held in their honor?
I doubt it, Republicans struggle on the presidential election because the electoral votes are no longer in their favor. It is much easier for a Democrat to get to 270 than it is for a Republican.
How did Reagan beat Carter?
After Clinton, how in the hell did GW beat Al Gore and John Kerry?
In the end, the silent majority gets PO'ed every now and then.
The key to a Republican win, is a Constitutional Conservative, just telling the truth and not in scare tactic mode.
Put another Progressive Lite in there and you will hand the nation to the NWO, no matter who gets elected.
Obama is worse than Bush, who was just as bad as Clinton, who ran with what Bush Sr. started.
Keep electing a Progressive and you will get what you already have. More of the same.

RR & MR got the same % white male votes. Difference-electorate by 2012 was 70% white, not 88% as it was 30 years ago.
W won 44% Latino vote (impossible in TP era due to their alienation of all non-whites), and even with 44%, he squeaked by, and his 286 EC in 2004, w/o Va, now demographically blue, is worth 273.
Lowest Dem win last 24 years-332 ECs.
24 year EC %-Dems 61+%!!!
PS: By 2016, the white vote is around 68% white, by 2020, 66%..and that trendline continues.
In the 21st century, the GOP needs to diversify demographicallly their voting block, or POTUS will be out of their league.
The GOP will not be able to impeach anyone. The only thing they've been doing well for the past decade is obstruction. They can only oppose, object and start wars. They'll have to learn how to accomplish and achieve to ever get anything done.
"President Barack Obama has acted so unlawfully that he 'probably' wouldn't survive an impeachment vote in the House of Representatives, Republican Rep. Lou Barletta told a radio host on Monday.'He’s just absolutely ignoring the Constitution, and ignoring the laws and ignoring the checks and balances,' the Pennsylvania lawmaker told News Radio 910 WSBA personality Gary Sutton yesterday. 'The problem is, what do you do?' Barletta continued. 'For those that say impeach him for breaking the laws or bypassing the laws — could that pass in the House? It probably could.'"
"'Is the majority of the American people in favor of impeaching the president? I’m not sure about that.' "'I don't think so,' the Pennsylvania radio host can be heard telling Barletta in audio of their conversation captured by Buzzfeed's Andrew Kaczyinski." Barletta made the comments during a discussion on illegal immigration after Sutton argued that the president wasn't 'faithfully executing the laws of this country. Well we have a president that has taken this to a new level,' Barletta said of Obama's actions before explaining how he thinks impeachment proceeding would hypothetically play out in the House."
Looks like there's a storm coming straight for the White House. This, combined with the Majority of the American Public wanting President Obama out of the white house (About that Wall Street Journal poll: Is the public saying Obama's presidency is over? | WashingtonExaminer.com), and the impeachable offenses he has done, it's only a matter of time before we get a new President. Joe Biden was involved in the scandals too so he will also be impeached, the whole administration will be.
Bon Voyage Obama! Can't wait to meet our new President!
Republicans need to learn that having policy disagreements with them are not "a high crime or misdemeanor" and not an impeachable offense. If they do not learn this basic fact of public behavior the American form of Republican government is over and might as well be exchanged for an authoritarian form of gopvernment best suited for a true oligarchy.
GOP: "We probably have enough votes to Impeach Obama"!
Then why don't the wimpy, whiny Republicans go ahead and impeach him, then? It would bring them an unprecedented outpouring of support from their base.
The case to impeach Barack 'Milhous' Obama is much stronger then the one used to impeach Nixon.
So what are you waiting for?
Urge your Congressman to Put Up Or Shut Up. Every Republican needs to urge his Congressman to Put Up Or Shut Up.
That's all it takes.
Put Up Or Shut Up.
Put Up Or Shut Up.
Put Up Or Shut Up.
Put Up Or Shut Up.
Put Up Or Shut Up.
Do it or do it not. Enough of this empty blather. Put Up Or Shut Up.
