Sue Obama - Nothing More Than A Stunt To Give Repubs A Talking Point Back In Their Districts.....

when they leave for their vacation break and before the Nov 2014 elections.

They can say - they voted to sue the President to fire up their base.

I'm thinking that this is going to backfire for them big time. Anyone else agree?

the President would recall everyone of the bastards from 'break' to get the business of the nation done!... and keep them there until it's done.

in November.

Then they decide what to do when they see the new makeup of Congress.

(Whatever the new makeup, and whatever they do, it won't be pretty.)

tie everything up with Democratic ads that write themselves!

I think it's going to be a very uncomfortable couple of months for the gop ... between having to answer to the semi-sane, just f@$%ing do something positive crowd and the batsh!t crazy with matches in hand crowd.

the town-hall meetings of my 4 reps that voted "Yea" ... but that would mean traveling to "cowboy country" (where I am truly not welcome).

On a more positive note, the 5 remaining delegation voted, "Hell Naw!" ... And this is Arizona!

So I plan to go to the first McCain get together and stir the insanity pot, asking how he would have voted. Plus, I think I'll go to Martha "I hate government; but have never worked a day outside of government" McSally's soiree and ask her how she would have voted.

Such phoney outrage from the Rethugs. They always seem to be so outraged about something then it fizzles.

I think that Boehner is substituting the lawsuit for an impeachment hearing to satisfy members of his caucus who really do want to start down that road.

Boehner thinks that an impeachment hearing would help us more than the Repugs, and I think that he's right. He's more practical than some of the real crazies in his caucus.

The House and Senate managed to come up with a bill for the VA, and I think that may be the only bill to make it to the President's desk until after the August recess, and there won't be much after that, either, because the two sides just don't agree on much of anything.
