Let the crooks take over, after a while you just get use to it.
A lot of older Italians in Chicago loved Al Capone, they thought he was great.
One good thing about a crook?
If you are on his ship, he will do every crooked thing imaginable to stay afloat.
It's comforting.
Will murder ever enter into staying afloat?
Maybe, but you know the old saying, "What you don't know can't hurt you"!
Chicago politics in Washington DC
Just lie your way out of it.
NEVER admit anything, just come back with another lie.
Keep on believing folks, you will never beat the machine, so you may as well close your eyes and go with the flow.
That's what they did in Al's day.

comparing the President to Capone, real classy. You people just cant stand it . You want things to go back to the way it was. When certain people new their place. Your sick. You will never prevail.

A draft dodger and war criminal we had in the White House for 8 years, and he basically got a pardon.

1.The Watergate scandal initially involved a petty burglarly, but escalated into an impeachable offense from the coverup. The Sestak case involves initally the accusation of a FEDERAL CRIME, as well as a potential coverup.

2. Nixon did not know about the Watergate burglary initially, but chose to cover it up. That was his crime. Obama appears to have initiated the federal crime AND covered his tracks. Which is worse?

3. Nixon did not have the cover of the media or the justice department to cover for him. Obama has the advantage of a media that will not report on the event, as well as a corrupt justice department that will not initiate an investigation. Obama has the further advantage of a democratic senate and congress that will not push for a grand jury independent of the justice department- it pays to have friends when committing crimes.


Let's see if Obama dodges this one. It appears as though he was complicent, or ordered, a federal criminal act. However, one needs the investigation and prosecution of this act to enforce the law. Under the current administration, senate, and congress, I doubt that anything will be done. However, among those who are "undecided" and remaining "moderates" in the US, it questions the tactics and ethics of an administration that appears more and more to be "above the law".
OP...try working on the grammar next time.
If there are no attorneys on television or in the newspapers stating that they see any criminal wrongdoing in this matter,where are you getting your "facts?"

Deals like this are made all of the time in politics.
That you seem to be unaware of that fact makes me wonder what you know about politics.
No money changed hands and Sestak is still running for office.
And the crime is...?

It seems like these days the political establishment brings up impeachment for every president that comes along. Impeachment is now just a political tool. This makes a mockery of impeachment, which is supposed to be serious business. It is not the only mockery in the modern no-rules world of national politics.

I still say troll threads because you conservatives couldn't pull your crap together, and still can't, and your pals lost the Presidential election fair and square, no vote recounts, no supreme court decisions, nobody STOLE the election last time around.
But, keep harping about Obama's birth place, how he is a socialist, communist, nazi, and everything else under the sun and moon, but still criticize without coming out with any new ideas, 2012 will be a cinch for another 4 years of Obama, because what is being said now is the same old stuff being said before the last election. Americans are weary of the attacks, and want to see something fresh coming from the right.
If any President should have been impeached, it should have been the last one.

Americans are weary of all talk and no action as well as the smoke and mirrors. 1-20-13......
