How long will the American public continue with a President who has blood on his hands?
Charges should be brought against him for second degree murder or accessory to the crime.

There was a guy arrested in Florida right around the Republican convention for threatening to kill his wife because she was a liberal. :P
Then there was the Unitarian Church shootings, the guy said that liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country

The right in this country is really not very right anymore.

The extreme right has been wrong for a long, long time.
I love how people blame a whole political ideology for some lone nutbag's actions.

You do realise I was putting a lefty spin on that right?

Let the hypocrisy run wild. Just go through the thread covering those dumbassed pee partiers. Example after example of criminal behavior was documented and what I heard in response was "you can't paint the entire movement over the behavior of a few" or "not everyone acts like that" bullsh!t.
For example, here's genius Swake:
QuoteNice logical jump. You think we should make some blanket assumptions about all Tea Partiers based on signs at those protests?

More than that, as you assume that Swake and the like even want to reconcile the hypocrisy. Or even know what it cognitive dissonance is.
Here's an explanation that I'm sure will fly right over:

As has been the left.

The difference, of course, being that only the extreme right has representation in one of the two major parties. Those on the far left have to content themselves with Bernie Sanders and at times a comedian.

Similarly, nobody can stop you from only allowing yourself to see about two thirds of the political spectrum.

2/3 is a pretty strong majority. It's filibuster-proof.
Edit:
I believe it's enough to pass a Constitutional Amendment.
Yeah, but it's interesting how it's skewed to the right. ;)

You're right, Harry Reid is a down the middle Democrat. ::)

He is, but that's because the Democratic Party is not at all left wing. At best it's solidly at center. There are more blue dogs than unabashed liberals. I suggest you look at Reid's actual voting record. This is a guy who voted yes on a Constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, voted for more wiretapping, voted for the godawful bankruptcy reform, voted to make the Cuba embargo more strict, votes consistently in favor of gun rights, voted against means testing Medicare Part D, voted against allowing Medicare to negotiate drug discounts, votes very consistently for expanding the security state, and more. If you think he's a middle of the road Democrat, it's hard to argue that the Democrats as a party are anything but middle of the road.

While you are at it, don't forget that Harry was the prime mover in passing a change such that you can legally take a firearm into national parks, etc.

And this right here, is why the Republicans are so far right. When you think Harry Reid is left-wing, then you are courting the Teatardistanians...
