Why would anyone willingly choose to talk to McConnell?

Screw that. Let’s talk about repealing the 16th Amendment, first.

That would be a much better starting point.

Ha.
Yea, TALK about that.

The Indonesian Dog-Eater held the biggest campaign rally of 2008 in a FOREIGN NATION … for FOREIGNERS, hosted by a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT.

It’s not even worth talking about anything about “campaign finance” when you let such an offense to America and our Constitution take place and don’t do anything about it. These people are absolutely pathetic. I cannot even imagine that America would ever entertain allowing a foreign political candidate to hold a major campaign rally on the Mall in Washington.

What Barky the Dog-Eater did in Berlin was the most repulsive political act in all of American history. It was as illegal as all get-out, an offense to our Constitution and a jailable crime. And these idiots in Washington act as if it was part of American political tradition … campaigning to foreigners …

UNREAL.

You can also thank Mitch (and John Cornyn) for 6 more years of Lisa Murkowski, sheesh.

I hope the Senate Republicans grow a pair on this. I am not too hopeful. Mitch often finds a way to “conpromise.”

I say allow the Constitutional Amendment resolution to pass in the Senate and then have the House change it to where the Amendment applies ONLY to public employee unions, then send it back to the Senate (where, of course, it will die).

It’s time to play hardball with these bastards.

My guess is that they want to do this in their imaginary 2nd term.

Yeah, I just like typing “four and a half months”! Remember when it was three and a half more years of this?

David Axelrod’s claim that Obama and the Democrats would pursue a constitutional amendment to impose campaign-finance reform — in effect, amending the First Amendment to unprotect political speech.

When do they plan to do this? Obama won’t be back in Washington long enough to change his underwear for the next four and a half months. He has no friends in Washington to work on his “To Do” list. They are really planning to amend the Constitution in the next four and a half months? Night Owl on June 15, 2012 at 10:09 AM

Hey Mitch. Welcome to the party pal! Leading from the back? Where the hell have you been?! You know all this came down the pike on your watch! When you’re in power you spend like the best of’em.
So… what were you thinking of doing after politics? You are not part of the solution. Get out of the way. The American people via tea party patriotism will lead.
I lay Barack Obama at your feet Mitch. Had you been more concerned with us the American people instead of the lining of your bank account, we’d never of had the ridiculous panic and sheeple wave screaming to the first charismatic 2 dimensional poster (with nice smile and waving arm) for hope and change!!!

The solution is always more freedom, not less.

Dems are apoplectic about the leveling of the playing field not about the expense or who is inconvenienced with ads, so long as the only ads allowed are liberal lies, they’re happy.

For the left its always about creating double standards in their favor.

AND SO IT BEGINS……800,000 new voters for Obama.
