Obama has now, ostensibly, become a dictator. His arbitrary and autocratic rule has gone beyond civility because of his rancid tone.

I thought Republicans were supposed to be the big, strong tough guys.

But when somebody says “If you dont want the money, just let us know” suddenly that’s a “threat”.

Seriously, if this was so threatening, then why dont you quote the alleged threat? You dont do it because you know it would make the Republicans look ridiculous.

If they can’t win by argument, the Obama administration will resort to threats.

It’s the Chicago way.

President Bush didn’t bully nor did he ever condone it. What a shame for these immature Democrats.
It also is a display of intentional ignorance. Don’t they know these people make money and pay taxes and know Obama is applying his “exaction pricing” manipulation. Obama says if you do not go with him, you must pay a price.

This is the Age of Obama – so get used to threats and intimidation. Stories about threats and intimidation are non-stories and are the expected businesss as usual. Thinking that these people are just more aggressive politicians than usual and can be removed in the next election, is something like political culture shock.

Elections have consequenses and it is no use protesting once idiots place these statist/communists in power – they will do as they please until they are forceably removed at some point in time years from now.

Will Kyl and McCain remain RINOs after this? Will the people of Arizona tolerate this threat.

That remains to be seen.

Arizona citizen you are apparently not. Kyl is no RINO and we know it.

Too bad McShame didn’t stand up to Obama like that during the campaign. Maybe we wouldn’t have the trillion dollar deficit that we have today if the loser had actually wanted to win!

flytier on July 15, 2009 at 11:05 PM

Naaah, he still would have lost. He was the lamest possible candidate that the GOP could possibly have dreamed up.

Still would have been fun to watch though. And I might have thrown fewer pillows at my TV out of frustration if McCain would have fought back against Obama, just once in a while.

In other words, you can take the affirmative action candidate out of Chicago but you can’t take Chicago out of the affirmative action president.

I wonder what Sen. Patty Murray, Washington (D-umbass) thinks of Transportation Secretary La Hood (YJCMTSUYK*) now that the stimulus bucks to Washington state, which operates the largest and highest volume ferry system in the US, comes in 17th right behind the saltwater-choked state of Kentucky. Hey Patty, maybe the Kentuckians "Built schools and daycare centers, and we didn't do that?" (Inside WA joke re Peppermint Patty's comments about why the Afghans just Looooved UBL.) *You Just Can't Make This Shit Up, You Know!
